Chapter 452:
Hearing Amelia’s words, Shepard felt an immediate urge to argue, but his own motives for pursuing the partnership left him momentarily speechless. After a brief pause, he admitted with a hint of resignation, “I’ll confess, I had personal reasons for pursuing this alliance, but I’ve thoroughly assessed your handheld device project before. The Davis Group is undeniably a strong collaborator. Please, Amelia, give me a chance to explain before you make a decision. Talk to your company’s executives first about this. You can give me a reply after that p>
Afraid Amelia might reject him again, Shepard quickly left, not allowing her time to respond.
At that moment, Wyatt picked up the contract from the table and read it.
“Frankly, this agreement reflects a genuine commitment from Shepard. Amelia, maybe you should set aside personal bias and evaluate it purely from the Davis Group’s perspective,” he said.
Wyatt’s words made Amelia’s resolve waver.
With technology — especially artificial intelligence — driving innovation in the electronics sector, the Davis Group, a long-standing player in this industry, stood to gain significantly from Shepard’s proposed partnership, and it carried no apparent risks.
Professionally, Amelia had little basis to refuse.
Wyatt continued, “Shepard’s suggestion has merit. You might want to consult with the company’s management before dismissing it outright p>
Convinced by Wyatt’s reasoning, Amelia forwarded the contract to Dalia via email.

Soon after, Dalia called Amelia, her voice brimming with excitement. “Amelia, this contract looks perfect as it is! We should sign it p>
Hearing the excitement in Dalia’s voice, Amelia considered revealing her connection to the Chadwick family but hesitated.
Instead, she replied calmly, “Dalia, I need to review this further. If everything aligns, I’ll proceed with signing p>
Right up until the call ended, Dalia continued to highlight the project’s advantages for the Davis Group’s future.
Unaware of the full background behind the deal, Dalia assumed the Chadwick Group’s interest came from the Davis Group’s recent successes. After the call, she…
Quickly, she shared details of the contract with other senior executives at the Davis Group.
After handling several follow-up calls, Amelia texted Shepard the next day to arrange a meeting to revisit the partnership discussion.
They decided to meet at a downtown restaurant.
When Amelia and Wyatt arrived at the private dining room, Shepard was already there, waiting.
As Amelia entered, Shepard stood instinctively. “I know you can’t have coffee during pregnancy, so I ordered some juice for you p>
Once seated, Amelia noticed the juice was her favorite mango flavor, accompanied by an assortment of her preferred pastries.
The thoughtful gesture touched her, and she murmured quietly, “Thank you p>
Amelia then took the lead in addressing the partnership.
She explained that the Davis Group was open to working with the Chadwick Group, but she emphasized that Shepard needed to keep personal matters out of their professional dealings.
Additionally, she requested that Shepard refrain from mentioning the DNA test to anyone in the Chadwick family.
Shepard’s expression shifted briefly at this condition, but he still nodded in agreement.
“You have my word. As a businessman, I only pursue deals that are profitable. Our partnership will stay strictly professional,” he said.
