Chapter 436
Chapter 436:
At the bottom of the authorization letter, Alden’s autograph slashed across the sheet with flair that couldn’t be missed.
Everyone at Star Wish Investments knew his penmanship instantly—nobody would’ve dared fake it.
For a beat, people just stared at each other in stunned silence. Even Helena looked like someone had pulled the rug out from under her. She hadn’t had the faintest idea that Alden had ever signed such a document.
The only one who didn’t blink an eye was Xavier. He spoke up, his tone even and deliberate, directing his words mostly toward Rylan. “Mr. Wilson has full faith in his wife. He handed her the reins to the whole business. If she chooses to shut a few folks out—or even hand everything over to the Harrison family—well, he doesn’t mind p>
“NO! Alden can’t do this! Even if he doesn’t mind, what about Grandma? She still owns part of the Wilson Group!” Rylan clung to the mention of his grandmother like a drowning man grabbing at driftwood.
Xavier gave a sharp, dismissive laugh before replying, “You barely ever showed any concern for Mrs. Frida Wilson, so you clearly don’t know the full picture. Truth is, she thinks the world of Mrs. Helena Wilson—more than she ever did of Alden—and handed over her shares to her ages ago p>
“No… this can’t…” Rylan’s complexion drained of all color, as if life had just been sucked out of him.
After sitting frozen in disbelief for a while, he suddenly smacked the side of his wheelchair and shouted in fury, “Idiots! Grandma’s lost her mind, and Alden’s even worse! Handing over such a powerful company to a woman p>
Helena didn’t so much as glance his way. Once the matter was resolved, she turned on her heel and left with Xavier right behind her. She’d been tied up with things the entire day and hadn’t even glanced at her phone.
As soon as she settled into the car and they started heading home, she checked the time in Corland and decided to call Alden. Just as she was about to make the call, Helena spotted a message from Liliana waiting for her.
She felt completely drained, and by the time she made it to the villa, she knew dinner would be long finished.
Not wanting her parents to waste their time waiting for her, she typed a careful reply. “I’ll make it for the birthday party, but let’s keep it low-key—no need for a big fuss. It’s been a hectic day, and I won’t be coming back tonight p>

Right after that, she added another line. “Please look after Mom—thank you p>
Liliana didn’t respond, but Helena didn’t linger. She went straight to dialing Alden’s number.
Before she could even greet him, his easygoing tone came through the receiver. “Got the influencers’ situation sorted already p>
Helena blinked, caught off guard. “You knew?” she asked, frowning as her gaze flicked toward Xavier, who was at the wheel. “He just had surgery, and you’ve bugged him with this small problem p>
She was normally soft-spoken and hardly ever challenged anyone like this, but her worry for Alden came straight from the heart.
