Chapter 479:

Hendrix Garcia, head of a research enterprise in Hans, possessed patented innovations eagerly sought after by both the Carrillo and Griffiths families. Nora had come to the Figueroa banquet not only to block Sean from aligning with the Figueroa family but also because she knew Hendrix would be there.

She showed no surprise at Hendrix’s refusal. Once he finished speaking, she said, “As I understand it, you have yet to sign anything with Sean p>

“We have not executed a contract, but p>

“Mr. Garcia, if you decide to cooperate with me, Stewart Group will also join our alliance,” Nora interjected.

Hendrix, who had been determined to decline, instinctively glanced at the man beside Nora after hearing that. Given the Stewart Group’s immense power in Kretol, if they were willing to participate in the deal, then working with the Griffiths family would become a viable option.

Meeting Hendrix’s probing eyes, Wyatt gave a confirming nod. “What Nora stated is accurate p>

With Wyatt’s validation, Hendrix promptly shifted his stance. “In that case, Miss Griffiths, let us find a private spot to negotiate the patent deal thoroughly, with Mr. Stewart alongside us p>

“Wyatt, we’ll go together.” Before Wyatt could respond, Nora, clutching his arm, spoke to him.

Although Hendrix’s invention was remarkable, the Stewart Group had never intended to step into that field. Nevertheless, Wyatt found it impossible to reject Nora’s request.

Back when Polly was still alive, she had half-joked about arranging a marriage between Nora and Wyatt.

Wyatt had refused back then, but Polly had taken it seriously. She adored Nora and often reminded Wyatt to look after her.

Remembering that, Wyatt chose to follow Nora to the lounge.

The banquet hall lighting was low, and Nora was wearing high heels.

As she turned a corner, her ankle suddenly twisted.

Hearing Nora cry out in pain, Wyatt instinctively reached out to steady her.

When Amelia entered the hall with Weldon beside her, she saw Wyatt and Nora in each other’s arms.

Nora was leaning against Wyatt’s chest, while Wyatt looked down at her with concern.

In that instant, every bit of emotional strength Amelia had gathered on her way there collapsed.

She had spent the entire way telling herself she needed to trust Wyatt.

She had even taken the initiative to come see him in person, hoping he would explain everything.

But she had never imagined that this would be the first thing she saw.

“Amelia, wait here. I’ll go confront Wyatt right now!” Weldon exploded, his face flushing with anger, his fists clenched as he moved to storm over to Wyatt.

But Amelia stopped him.

“Amelia, after all Wyatt has done to you, you’re still protecting him p>
