“Okay,” Rebecca agreed without hesitation.

“Alright, I won’t bother you any longer.” Jack stood up, looking young and charming. “Amelia, if you ever need any info, just give me a shout. I promise to spill everything I know–no secrets kept.”

Amelia didn’t respond.

She was well aware they were just playing each other.

Jack didn’t seem to mind. He flashed Rebecca a smile and said, “Alright, Cousin Rebecca, I’m heading out.”

Rebecca was speechless.

After Jack left, Rebecca finally turned to her mom and asked, “Mom, why did they want to hurt you?”

Amelia told her everything about the shares.

Her daughter could buy back the shares at the original price, but Amelia wasn’t allowed to get involved in anything about the Quinn family anymore. Once Rebecca was officially tied to the shares, Amelia couldn’t step in or offer any advice.

Those people probably made their move back then because they were afraid Rebecca would find the money to buy the shares back. With Jeffrey working things behind the scenes, the Quinn Group might’ve easily ended up in their hands.

“They went after you just because of some stupid shares? Aren’t you his actual sister?” Rebecca couldn’t believe it.

“Family means nothing to those people,” Amelia replied with a cool detachment. “When it comes to profit, they’ll cut off anyone–blood doesn’t matter.”

Rebecca frowned, feeling uneasy.

She never thought her mom had grown up in such a cold, ruthless family.

“But those shares you called ‘just a little‘ are now worth hundreds of billions,” Amelia said, calm as ever, dropping the kind of bombshell that could shatter worlds. “They’ve gone up more than a hundred times since I sold them.”

Rebecca’s jaw nearly hit the floor.

‘Hundreds of billions?‘ Rebecca’s mind was spinning.

She just blurted out, “Then why did you sell them?”

“They thought it wasn’t right for a woman to hold that many shares,” Amelia replied, her voice flat, totally unfazed. “They tried every trick in the book to squeeze me out. Frankly, I was just done arguing, so I sold and walked away.”

Chapter 220

Rebecca felt an overwhelming mix of emotions swirling inside her.

Just how much did Mom really suffer to be able to say all that so calmly? Rebecca thought to herself.

“They won’t just let you get those shares without a fight,” Amelia said, her voice full of certainty from years of dealing with them. “Are you scared?”

“Not at all.” Rebecca shook her head. The moment she thought about reclaiming what should’ve always belonged to her mom, every trace of fear vanished.

Amelia reached out and gently ruffled Rebecca’s hair.

All along, Amelia never taught Rebecca the ins and outs of business or finance. Her reasons went beyond what she’d said before–the real reason was simple: she didn’t want Rebecca getting mixed up with the Quinn family. She knew the moment Rebecca started learning, those people would be plotting and scheming in no time.

Amelia’s savings were more than enough to keep Rebecca set for life–living in luxury, never having to worry about a damn thing. Why throw her daughter into the toxic, ruthless world the Quinns lived in?

Turns out, Amelia’s instincts were spot on.

They’d held back before.

But once they caught wind of Amelia passing her fortune on to Rebecca, even that last bit of hesitation vanished–the Quinns made their move, all because of greed and that tiny shred of fear.

So now, Amelia figured there was no point in holding back anymore. It was time to let go of doubts and face this head–on.

“Mom,” Rebecca said, her voice soft but full of curiosity.

Amelia looked at her. “Yes?”

Rebecca met her mom’s eyes. “When they were pressuring you back then, what was Mr. Guzman doing?”

Rebecca thought to herself, ‘Seriously, if Mom was dating him back then–May said so–boyfriends are supposed to be there for you, right? Even if he couldn’t do much, wasn’t he at least supposed to give her some emotional support?‘

“He was…” Amelia paused, her words faltering for a moment.

He was off messing around with other women.

He kept her waiting, always promising more.

He was even lining up an engagement with someone else.

“Too busy battling his uncle for control,” Amelia finally said, steering the conversation away. She didn’t want Rebecca dragged into that ugly mess–no good would come of it except making her miserable.

Chapter 220

Rebecca scrunched her eyebrows, clearly troubled.

Seriously, why is everyone so obsessed with power struggles?‘ Rebecca thought to herself.

Her phone chimed.

She glanced down–the notification had just popped up.

Rebecca picked it up and saw a message from Jack: [Hey, Cousin Rebecca! It’s me, Jack–the most adorable and trustworthy little cousin you’ve got. Seriously, if you ever need anything at all, just text me.]

Rebecca locked her screen and didn’t bother to reply.

Jack waited a good thirty minutes with no reply, then muttered, “Wow, Cousin Rebecca is ice cold.”

Daniel just stared at him, speechless.

Daniel said, “Mr. Sebastian Quinn just called–he couldn’t reach you.”

Jack shrugged. “My phone was on silent.”

Daniel warned him, “He’s gonna be mad, you know.”

“No problem,” Jack said with a grin, dialing right away. As soon as Liam picked up, Jack turned on the charm. “Hey Grandpa!”

Liam didn’t answer right away.

Jack had his excuse all lined up. “I just dropped by to see Aunt Amelia and Cousin Rebecca. Tomorrow’s Rebecca’s birthday—are you gonna send her a present?”

Liam’s attention shifted at once. “Tomorrow?”

Jack said smoothly, “Yep.”

Liam Quinn sat in the courtyard, stroking his beard as he mulled over what kind of gift to give.

“If you’re stuck on what to pick, just go pricey,” Jack said, sounding relaxed and playful. “Send her something big–like a piece of prime real estate, a luxury estate, even a yacht or a ship. Even if Cousin Rebecca isn’t a fan, she can always cash it in and walk away with a bundle.”

Liam nodded.

‘Not a bad idea,‘ he thought to himself.

Meanwhile, Ryan was busy getting Rebecca’s birthday gift ready.

When Jeffrey heard what they were planning to give her, he couldn’t help but frown.

Sure, he’d given Rebecca all that stuff before, but as her still–legally–married husband, there was no way he could let them outdo him.

“Give Rebecca the winery and the island I bought recently,” Jeffrey said, his voice cool and decisive. “And send over every limited–edition sports car that came out this year.“.

Gregory just stared at him, totally speechless.
