Chapter 341:
Wyatt didn’t immediately answer Lennie’s question. Instead, he slid a contract across the table and stated, “I’m only giving you five minutes to decide if you’ll sign this contract p>
As he spoke, he playfully brushed Amelia’s fingertips.
Lennie, flustered, quickly scanned the contract. Before he could finish reading, he said, “Mr. Stewart, I understand Colton’s actions warrant blame, but I’m blameless, and so is the rest of the Mills family. It’s unjust to hold us accountable for his errors. I p>
“Enough,” Wyatt interjected, exasperated by Lennie’s protests. “I’m offering you the chance to take Colton’s place as the head of the Mills Group, but only if you sign this acquisition agreement. As long as the Mills family behaves from now on, this contract will never take effect. But if the Mills family steps out of line, it will be ruined completely. The choice to sign is yours p>
With that, Wyatt glanced at Kurt, who quickly set a pen beside Lennie’s hand.
“My patience has its limits,” Wyatt added sharply.
In front of others, Amelia, cautious of Wyatt’s pride, shot him a subtle glance, signaling him to stop playing around.
But Wyatt only grew bolder, even weaving his fingers through hers.
Amelia’s irritation sparked, and just as she was about to speak, Lennie declared, “I’ll sign p>
He snatched the pen from the table.
As he moved to sign, Wyatt pressed his hand on the contract to stop him. “Think it through. Once you sign this contract, there’s no turning back p>

“I’ve thought it through!” Lennie responded without hesitation.
Wyatt arched an eyebrow, then lifted his hand.
Lennie turned to the final page and signed with a bold flourish. Then, he asked eagerly, “Mr. Stewart, what’s next p>
“Deal with the fallout p>
Baffled by Wyatt’s vague directive, Lennie scratched his head. “What does that mean p>
Amelia and Wyatt exchanged a look, both catching a glimmer of surprise in the other’s eyes.
Dealing with someone so clueless was a stark contrast to handling their usual sharp adversaries.
Thirty minutes later, Lennie departed Hillside Villa with Davin, who had been called to assist him.
Davin, eyeing Lennie, felt a headache brewing. He would rather pull an all-nighter at the office than answer Lennie’s endless questions.
“Davin, what did Mr. Stewart mean by dealing with the fallout p>
“The Mills Group’s latest project is plagued with problems, and its reputation is about to crash. Your job is to find a way to fix it p>
“How do I do that p>
“Start by controlling the media coverage p>
“Okay, then how do I do that?” Lennie asked.
“The simplest way is to create a new story to shift the focus p>
“Oh, how do I do that p>
Davin’s frustration boiled over.
If Lennie’s confusion weren’t so genuine, Davin would have thought he was playing dumb on purpose.
Back at Hillside Villa, Amelia laughed and said to Wyatt, “If Lennie actually becomes the head of the Mills family, Colton will be furious p>
“An obedient fool is less trouble than a self-proclaimed genius,” Wyatt said.
Lennie might not be clever, but his obedience was enough for Wyatt.
Before Amelia could respond, Wyatt suddenly lifted her from the sofa. Startled, she swatted his arm lightly and asked, “What are you doing p>
Without a word, Wyatt carried her upstairs.
In the bedroom, he tossed her onto the bed, the soft mattress bouncing beneath her.
As she tried to rise, Wyatt pinned her down.
“Amelia, it’s time to honor your promise to me,” he said.
His gaze was intense, like a current pulling her under, leaving her unable to break free.
At his words, Amelia stiffened. Then she said, “Your injury isn’t healed yet p>
“It’s fine,” he said dismissively.
With that, Wyatt leaned in, his lips capturing hers.
At first, Amelia responded to his kiss with the same intensity, but as his kiss deepened, her strength seemed to dissolve. She leaned on him, struggling to catch her breath.
Just then, a sudden chill made her eyes snap open — her clothes were now on the floor.
Wyatt’s gaze, alight with desire, swept over her bare skin in the soft light. The heat in his eyes sent a searing warmth through her. Flustered, she covered his eyes and muttered, “Turn off the lights p>
Wyatt chuckled and complied. The room soon fell into darkness.
