Chapter 252:

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Wyatt’s voice was sharp and detached over the phone as he listened to Sanford’s jumbled words.

Sensing the curt tone, Sanford grew anxious, his voice edged with urgency. “I’m telling you, it’s true! You know Denny Williamson, don’t you? He’s the head of Summit Capital; he used to be Amelia’s schoolmate at university, and they p>

“I’m heading over now,” Wyatt cut in abruptly, the mention of Denny sparking an immediate reaction.

After Amelia stepped down from her role, Wyatt took charge of the projects with Summit Capital and NovaSphere Technologies. He had been surprised when he first reviewed these projects. He found nothing amiss with the NovaSphere Technologies deal after examining the sophisticated software Amelia had developed—it was genuinely impressive. The Summit Capital collaboration, however, puzzled him; he couldn’t quite understand how Amelia had secured it.

In that moment, a faint suspicion about the true reasons behind the matter began to form in Wyatt’s mind. Amelia’s ability to attract admirers was no surprise to him—he knew her brilliance better than anyone. If it had been anyone else vying for her attention, he would have dismissed it without a second thought. But Denny was an exception. Wyatt couldn’t deny that Denny was every bit as exceptional as he was.

At Souls.

Denny sat across from Amelia, his eyes softening as he took in her graceful presence. Ever since Amelia left Hans, Denny’s focus had wavered, leading to repeated slip-ups at work. Jasiah had voiced his frustration over this time and again.

So, when Denny had suggested a trip to Kretol, Jasiah hadn’t objected.

“Amelia, I heard you left the Stewart Group. Did the Stewart family force you out?” Denny asked, his voice tinged with worry.

He had been waiting for her to reach out to him, but instead he’d received a call from the Stewart Group about project details and the unexpected news of her resignation. He had only been willing to work with the Stewart Group on the project because of her. Upon hearing she had resigned, he couldn’t sit still and immediately booked a flight to Kretol.

Amelia was quick to clarify. “No, it’s nothing like that. I resigned because I am preparing to take over the Flynn Group p>

Denny leaned in. “If you’re taking over the Flynn Group, Summit Capital could collaborate with them to offer support p>

“Thank you, Denny, but I can’t accept that,” Amelia interjected firmly.

The Stewart Group’s strong financial arm made it an ideal partner for a securities firm like Summit Capital, creating a balanced alliance. The Flynn Group, however, centered on electronic technology and didn’t meet the criteria for a collaboration with Summit Capital. Amelia feared such an arrangement could lead to significant losses for the Flynn Group.

When Denny heard her refusal, disappointment dimmed his expression. His ultimate aim had always been to win Amelia’s affection, but now it seemed he couldn’t get close to her by working with her anymore. Kelsey had also turned him down. At this moment, Denny was unsure how to win Amelia over.

His sharp business instincts urged him to be direct. For a fair contest, honesty seemed the only path forward. Looking at Amelia, he softened his voice. “Actually, aside from the project, there’s another reason for my visit to Kretol p>

Amelia’s gaze met his, curious.

Denny’s eyes shone with admiration. “Amelia, I’ve always p>

“Amelia p>

A deep voice cut through, interrupting Denny and pulling Amelia’s focus.

Amelia turned to see Wyatt’s tall figure approaching.

As he reached the pavilion, Amelia asked, “What are you doing here p>

“Sanford mentioned you were dining here. I was handling some business nearby and thought I’d drop by,” Wyatt replied smoothly.

“Is your business wrapped up?” she asked.

“It’s already taken care of,” Wyatt replied with a calm nod.

Amelia didn’t question him, but Sanford, nearby, gave a subtle smirk.

The drive from Hillside Villa to Souls took at least an hour, yet Wyatt had arrived in just twenty minutes. It was clear that he had been eager to get here. Sanford had deliberately waited for Wyatt to arrive before serving the food.

As he passed by Wyatt, he whispered, “You owe me big time for this p>

Wyatt’s response was cool. “That recipe you’ve been chasing? I’ll have it sent to you p>

For a chef like Sanford, a prized recipe was worth its weight in gold.

Sanford’s eyes sparkled with excitement, and only the presence of others kept him from cheering aloud.

After Sanford had left, Wyatt took a seat beside Amelia.

The moment Wyatt appeared, the warmth in Denny’s gaze faded, replaced by his usual cool detachment.
