Chapter 385:
The following morning, Amelia saw Damon at Hillside Villa. She couldn’t tell if it was a figment of her mind, but Damon appeared to exude an air of exhaustion. It wasn’t bodily tiredness, but rather a soul-deep weariness.
Damon said, “Mr. Stewart, here is the deed transfer for the property. I’ve already put my signature on it p>
While speaking, Damon slid the document across to Wyatt. Without so much as a glance at the contents, Wyatt turned straight to the final page and passed the document to Amelia.
Damon was briefly taken aback by the gesture but soon understood everything when he thought of the land’s location.
Taking a pen from Wyatt, Amelia didn’t sign immediately. She looked at Damon and said, “Could you inform me of this land’s present market worth? I would be happy to pay five percent more p>
Upon hearing her proposal, Damon felt a jolt of astonishment, though he masked it well. He glanced reflexively at Wyatt, whose face betrayed no surprise, as if he had anticipated this. Damon then shifted his attention back to Amelia and asked, “What do you mean by this, Mrs. Stewart p>
“I feel a pang of guilt for wresting the land from you in this manner, yet I truly want it. The least I can do is offer you some compensation, Mr. Figueroa p>
Though she voiced her guilt, her eyes gleamed with unbridled thrill at the prospect of claiming the land.
At her words, Damon let out a wry chuckle, laced with unmistakable sarcasm. “Well then, I suppose I owe you my gratitude for your boundless generosity, Mrs. Stewart p>

“No need for that,” Amelia replied smoothly. “Just to clarify, I’m talking about the market value, not whatever price you might name p>
After all, had Damon tossed out an outrageous figure, she would have had to drain her savings to scrape together the funds.
Thankfully, Damon proved reasonable and cited a fair market price of two hundred million.
“Then I’ll make it two hundred and ten million,” Amelia declared.
After she spoke, she filled out a check and slid it across to Damon.
Damon hesitated, his instinct urging him to push the check back. But having already surrendered the land, refusing the extra payment would only deepen his loss. After a fleeting pause, Damon accepted the check with a curt nod.
Seeing his acceptance, Amelia gracefully signed her name on the contract, sealing the deal.
Once Damon departed Hillside Villa, Amelia pored over the contract with care. She was satisfied that all was in order, and a radiant smile spread across her face, her heart alight with triumph.
As the initial thrill settled, a spark of curiosity ignited within her. She looped her arm through Wyatt’s, her eyes glinting with intrigue as she looked at him. “Come now, spill the beans. How did you make Damon cave and let go of the land so quickly p>
