Chapter 447
Chapter 447:
“Another family?” Amelia was shocked.
Did it mean what she thought it did?
Wyatt’s revelation left Amelia completely taken aback. Seeing the look in her eyes, Wyatt explained, “Apart from us, he’s involved with another woman p>
Through Wyatt, Amelia learned that the woman Jewell had hidden in Pinnacle Coast was Arlene Beckett, a recent college graduate.
But that wasn’t the core issue. The issue was that Arlene had been Jewell’s mistress for four years, meaning his involvement with her had started during her first year of college.
Amelia couldn’t help but curse Jewell under her breath.
“When did this come to your attention?” she asked Wyatt.
𝖲𝖺𝗏e 𝗒оu𝘳 𝗳а𝘃о𝗿𝘪𝘁e 𝗻𝗼v𝗲l𝗌 oո
“I realized it when he purchased a house in Pinnacle Coast.” Jewell believed that hiding Arlene there would keep his secret safe.
But in truth, Wyatt had known about every step he made.
Hearing this, Amelia felt for Wyatt.
“Mr. Stewart, they’re gone!” Barrie hurried over to Wyatt at that moment.
After Jewell chose to stay in the country, Wyatt had instructed Barrie to lead men to the house where Kamila and her children lived, with plans to send them abroad immediately.
Wyatt had initially avoided involving Kamila and her children until he learned that Jewell’s visit to the Stewart Mansion this time had been instigated by her. Together with the previous incident that caused Conroy to fall, Wyatt’s patience with Kamila had reached its limit.
Yet when Barrie and his men arrived at the house, Kamila and her children had vanished along with their belongings, as if someone had warned them in advance.
“Could it be your father who told Kamila about your intention to send them away p>
Amelia’s question made Wyatt shake his head. “Not him p>
Most people didn’t understand Jewell’s nature, but Wyatt knew his father’s self-absorbed character better than anyone.
“If it wasn’t him, then who p>
“Mr. Stewart, something has happened to your grandfather p>
Before Amelia could finish her thought, Doug burst into the room, his face tight with anxiety.
Seeing his alarmed expression, Amelia immediately assumed Conroy’s condition had worsened.
But then she heard Doug say, “Miss Mills is holding him hostage p>
Doug was talking about Kamila.
In Doug’s view, the only rightful wife of Jewell was Della. Even after Kamila bore the twins for Jewell, he still called her Miss Mills.
Amelia and Wyatt hadn’t yet reached Conroy’s room before cries of panic echoed from within.
Doug had already explained what happened to Amelia.
Kamila had secretly entered the Stewart Mansion, disguised herself as a servant, and slipped into Conroy’s room. By the time Doug and the others noticed, she already had a blade at Conroy’s throat.
When Wyatt and Amelia entered Conroy’s room, Kamila’s eyes blazed with fury.
“One step closer, and I’ll end him p>
With that, Kamila pressed the knife closer to Conroy.
Seeing her movement, Wyatt immediately stopped walking and gave Barrie a subtle signal.
In his wheelchair, Conroy looked pale, though his expression remained composed.
Sensing Kamila’s resentment, Conroy rasped, “Why are you doing this?” Even though he disliked Kamila, he had still provided generously for her because of the twins she had given to the Stewart family, even at Wyatt’s expense.
In that moment, he burned with rage at Kamila’s behavior.
“If you want the reason, you should ask your precious son p>
Right after Kamila spoke, Barrie escorted Jewell in.
The instant Kamila saw Jewell, her eyes flared with wrath, glowing red with anger.
Her stare unsettled Jewell. “Kamila, what are you doing? Release Conroy. I p>
“Jewell, you cheater!” Kamila cut him off, shouting through tears that streamed down her furious face.
She wasn’t like Della.
Della and Jewell’s union was a transaction, without affection. But Kamila truly loved Jewell.
She had believed that Jewell hadn’t married her only because he couldn’t divorce Della, convincing herself that she was his real love.
But when she uncovered the truth, that belief shattered. Realizing Jewell had secretly kept a college girl at Pinnacle Coast for four years made her feel like a complete joke.
“Jewell, how could you betray me like this? I’ll make you suffer forever!” Kamila shouted.
Her declaration left the others baffled until every phone in the room vibrated at once.
A news alert about Jewell keeping a college girl as a mistress suddenly appeared on their phones, instantly topping online headlines.
Jewell’s face shifted immediately as he read it.
Ignoring Kamila, he turned and glared at Wyatt. “I’m your father. How does destroying me help you? You p>
“I didn’t do anything to destroy you,” Wyatt replied without a hint of emotion.
Jewell faltered, then asked, “If not you, then who p>
“You’ll know soon enough p>
