Chapter 56:

“Fifty million p>

Ricky didn’t have time to argue, but when she named her price, his grip on his phone tightened in anger, veins bulging across his hand. “I bought these for just over ten million, and you’re asking for fifty million for me to buy them back now p>

“This isn’t about the jewelry. I spent fifty million to salvage the Flynn family’s reputation. Do you know what people said when they handed the jewelry to me? They wanted to know if Flynn Group was bankrupt. If not for the reputation of Flynn Group and the Flynn family, I would never have come here. So pay up—fifty million, not a penny less p>

Shaking with frustration, Ricky completed the transfer, his warning trailing behind. He insisted Amelia keep quiet about the matter.

No sooner had Ricky left than Amelia made her way to Dalia’s office. As soon as Dalia saw her, she asked worriedly, “How did it go? Did Ricky give you a hard time p>

Waiting anxiously at her desk, Dalia had considered checking on the situation herself, but she had held back to avoid complicating things for Amelia.

“You don’t have to worry about me, Dalia. I know how to deal with my father. What worries me is you—my father views you as a constant obstacle and will do anything to kick you out of the company. Please be careful p>

Dalia felt a bittersweet pride upon seeing how well Amelia had dealt with Ricky. If only Katrina were still around, Amelia wouldn’t have to fight these battles. Dalia’s voice turned serious as she said, “Don’t worry. I’ll make sure Ricky never gets any leverage over me p>

Ricky wanted to oust her and take full control of the Flynn Group, but it wouldn’t be easy. For Amelia’s sake, Dalia had resolved to stand her ground and remain in the company, no matter what it took.

Dalia looked at Amelia and said, “By the way, according to that agreement, you get those sixty percent shares after you’re married. When is your wedding with Jaxton supposed to happen? Tell me so I can p>

“Actually, I’m ending things with Jaxton,” Amelia interjected.

Until this point, she had kept the plan to herself. Still, the thought that Dalia might reach out to the Morrison family nudged her to reveal it now. She braced herself for objections or questions, but Dalia just squeezed her hand, her voice unwavering. “Whatever you choose, Amelia, I’ll always support you p>

So many people had turned their backs since Katrina’s passing, but Dalia remained steadfast in her loyalty to Katrina, caring for Amelia. Gratitude filled Amelia, though words felt inadequate. She would carry this kindness with her, always.

Though her main reason for coming here was to tell Dalia about the broken engagement, Amelia also had another matter to discuss. Hearing that Amelia needed her help, Dalia immediately replied, “Just tell me what you need. I’m ready to help p>

Amelia glanced at the closed office door, then lowered her voice to whisper a few words in Dalia’s ear. Dalia’s face lit with understanding after hearing her. “That will keep Janessa and her daughter busy for a good while. All right, sit tight—I’ll find someone to handle it right away p>
