Chapter 386:
“It’s not Damon who consented, but the Figueroa family,” Wyatt responded.
Wyatt had tasked Davin with a comprehensive probe into various prominent families in Hans. Through the investigation of the Figueroa family, Wyatt uncovered the deep divide between its two factions and the rampant discord plaguing the family from within.
To give credit where it was due, Damon proved to be a capable successor, yet the family’s upheaval was simply too intense, and such disorder inevitably shackled his potential. The recent surrender of the land served as the clearest evidence of that.
Amelia had never anticipated this as the underlying cause. Upon absorbing Wyatt’s account, she let out a weary breath and remarked, “Every family harbors its own hidden troubles p>
“Amelia, the Chadwick siblings have come to Kretol on your account,” Wyatt suddenly said.
At those words, Amelia froze in disbelief.
Wyatt hadn’t planned to reveal this to Amelia this quickly, but the sudden appearance of Shepard and Weldon prompted him to reconsider.
When Weston and Brielle had undergone their DNA analysis to verify parentage, Wyatt had been promptly informed of the outcome. At first, it was merely to validate the details’ reliability, but as Davin dispatched investigators, they unearthed that the doctor’s family had been abducted. Tracing the clues further, Wyatt discovered that the paternity test results for Weston and Brielle had been fabricated.

Put simply, Brielle was not Weston’s daughter.
Noticing Amelia’s quiet demeanor, Wyatt pressed on. “Unless I’m off the mark, Shepard aims to conduct a DNA test with you p>
“If… I mean, supposing Weston is genuinely my father, Wyatt, would you prefer that I return to the Chadwick family?” Amelia said.
There was a detail she had kept secret from everyone.
She finally remembered where she had seen the gold pendant on Brielle’s neck. When she was very young, she had also worn a gold pendant, and the pattern on it was identical to Brielle’s. As she matured, Katrina had put it away, yet when Amelia rummaged through the things Katrina had left her, the pendant was nowhere to be found.
While posing the question, Amelia fixed her gaze intently on Wyatt’s eyes.
Though she and Wyatt were married, Amelia was aware that numerous members of the Stewart family disdained her humble origins. Should she prove to be from the Chadwick family, it would change that, which could ease the pressure on Wyatt. If Wyatt desired her return to the Chadwick family, Amelia could comprehend his stance, though the mere notion pierced her heart with sorrow.
Wyatt’s face turned serious when he heard that. “This isn’t a decision for me to make; follow your heart and make that decision yourself. Amelia, the person I adore and hold dear is you. I don’t care about your parentage. I’ll respect your decision. Reunite with the family if it calls to you, or don’t if that’s your wish p>
Upon departing Hillside Villa, Damon headed straight back to Kretol City Hospital. The authorities had already vacated the hospital room, leaving the freshly released Huntley basking in evident self-satisfaction, which evaporated the instant he heard Damon’s words.
“What right do you possess to force my return to Hans?” he exclaimed in anger.
“Because of you, the Figueroa Group has lost forty million dollars, and the land I toiled to secure was relinquished. You can’t cause more trouble now p>
As Damon referenced these losses, Huntley displayed not a shred of regret but instead brazenly pointed fingers. “The fault lies with Amelia, that bitch, and p>
“Shut up!” Damon cut Huntley off with a fierce glare, reflexively darting a look toward the room’s entrance.
Spotting solely the security detail stationed there and no one else, he exhaled in relief.
Huntley’s stare brimmed with derision when he noticed that. “Damon, Wyatt stands as the successor to the Stewart family, and you to the Figueroa family. Observe his commanding presence, then reflect on your own. Do you truly believe you’re worthy of leading the Figueroa family p>
“If not me, then who? You, the good-for-nothing p>
“You…” Huntley’s eyes blazed red with rage at Damon’s cutting barb.
Oddly enough, seeing Huntley like this restored Damon’s calm. For years, Huntley had driven him mad, yet he had been powerless to voice his grievances. Now, seeing Huntley so angry like this gave him a sense of satisfaction.
Damon swiftly summoned the bodyguards and ordered, “Book a flight and escort Huntley back to Hans p>
Detecting Huntley’s seething resentment, Damon couldn’t resist a parting jab. “Feel free to rush home and tattle to my dad and grandpa p>
As Damon strode away, Huntley seized the water glass from the nightstand and flung it toward the door, an action that aggravated his injuries, turning his face pale with pain.
Just then, the phone on the bedside table buzzed to life. When Huntley saw the caller ID, a glint of malice sparked in his eyes.
The moment the line connected, Huntley quickly asked, “Have you reviewed what I sent you p>
