Chapter 451

Chapter 451:

When Conroy heard Wyatt’s words, his fingers trembled uncontrollably, though he found himself utterly speechless.

Amelia’s gaze shimmered with unshed tears as she looked at Wyatt, and beside her, Della was already crying.

Over the years, because of Kamila, Della had endured endless ridicule. To uphold the Stewart family’s image — and to protect Wyatt — Della had been forced to endure the pain in complete silence.

She had long believed her future was fixed, that she was destined to keep enduring quietly for the rest of her life. But today, she understood that her son had seen every injustice done to her.

“Wyatt, what gives you the authority to say something like that? I’m your father!” Jewell exclaimed, visibly incensed.

As Jewell lashed out in fury, Wyatt replied without emotion, “If you’re willing to separate from my mom, I’ll transfer five percent of the Stewart Group’s ownership to you p>

“You… You’re serious about that p>

Without delay, Jewell’s anger dissolved, replaced with undisguised delight.

The shift was almost comical in its transparency.

Nonetheless, Wyatt answered with composure, “End the marriage, and the five percent becomes yours instantly p>

Right after Wyatt spoke, a man arrived carrying documents.

Two sets of contracts were presented: one finalizing the divorce, and the other for the share transfer.

As Jewell lunged for the pen, Conroy raised his voice to intervene. “Jewell, don’t you dare p>

Yet before Conroy could finish his warning, Jewell had already signed his name across both contracts.

Grabbing the share transfer agreement with urgency, Jewell skimmed to the end — only for his face to freeze in horror.

The signature Wyatt had placed earlier, which had been clearly visible before, was now completely gone.

For a breathless moment, Jewell thought his eyes were betraying him. Desperately, he rifled through the pages, searching for any trace of ink.

Seeing his panic, Wyatt said calmly, “Don’t waste your energy. My pen was filled with disappearing ink. This contract is void p>

“You deceived me, Wyatt!” Jewell bellowed, clutching the worthless contract as fury twisted his features.

In Conroy’s presence, Wyatt gave a cold command to the guards, instructing them to remove Jewell from the Stewart Mansion. Though the share transfer contract was fake, the divorce papers were real.

When Della accepted them from Wyatt, her eyes were red with emotion, but a smile bloomed.

“Congratulations,” Amelia said warmly.

After longing for this day for countless years, Della felt elated, but also a little unsettled. Amelia’s kind words washed away the last of that unease.

That night, no one in the Stewart Mansion found restful sleep.

Amelia tossed and turned, unused to the bed.

When daylight arrived, Wyatt accompanied Amelia back to Hillside Villa. As Amelia stepped through the entryway, she immediately noticed Shepard reclining on the couch.

Her expression darkened, guarded tension replacing her earlier warmth.

“I’m here to propose a business deal,” Shepard said.

But instead of easing her suspicions, his words only made Amelia more guarded.

Noticing this, Shepard let out a resigned sigh and presented a document. “I’m serious. I really want to work with you p>

Amelia accepted the thick packet with a look of distrust.

Could Shepard’s intentions for collaboration be genuine?

Flipping through the contents, her skepticism gave way to a glimmer of interest.

The Chadwick Group’s greatest strength lay in their artificial intelligence division — a field the Davis Group had been eager to enter.

Partnering with them on this could save the Davis Group nearly three years of work.

But that spark of interest died just as quickly.

Pushing the document toward Shepard, Amelia said with quiet resolve, “I can’t work with you p>

“Why not?” Shepard asked, confused.

Before she could answer, he leaned forward urgently. “Are the terms not good enough? We can negotiate p>

“The terms are good,” Amelia interrupted, her tone steady and unyielding. “But you want this partnership not because you want to work with the Davis Group, but because of that DNA test result. That’s not a foundation for a real partnership p>
