“She can’t?” Jeffrey asked.

Jack knew the agreement inside out. “No, she can’t.”

Jeffrey remembered that Rebecca had tucked the Deed of Property Transfer beneath the pillow in the master bedroom. He’d just taken a quick look and put it right back, even reminding Mary Shaw not to mess with anything in there when changing the sheets.

‘Now that I think about it… Jeffrey realized, an uneasy feeling creeping up on him.

The date of Amelia’s accident lined up exactly with the date on that deed.

“Those people probably made their move because they were worried that after Amelia handed everything. over to Rebecca, Rebecca would come back around and buy out their shares, Jeffrey thought, suspicion flaring in his chest.

“Did they even care if they pushed things too far and Amelia ended up dead?” Jeffrey narrowed his eyes, a dark look passing over his face.

“Her life or death never mattered to them,” Jack replied, leaning back in his chair, voice flat. “As long as Richard Jensen was still breathing, Rebecca was out of the running for first heir–she didn’t pose any threat to them.”

Jeffrey didn’t say anything more.

‘Looks like May Summers was the only one who knew about Amelia and Richard’s contract marriage,‘ Rebecca realized.

“That’s enough to get some cooperation going, wouldn’t you say?” Jack asked, his tone purposely teasing.

“I’m not the one to decide,” Jeffrey said. He wasn’t someone you could just make use of–he was all about fair exchanges. “Rebecca and Amelia have no interest in getting involved with the Quinn family, and since I’m about to be divorced by Rebecca, I don’t get to make decisions for them.”


Jack couldn’t help but give a small, knowing laugh.

Jeffrey’s eyes stayed steady on him, showing no reaction.

“Alright, I’ll go tell them,” Jack said, getting to his feet. The hospital gown made him look even thinner and more fragile than usual. “You’ll back me up quietly, right?”

Jeffrey just stayed silent.

His silence said it all.

Not long after they finished talking, Daniel showed up at the door.

Seeing Jack standing there with his collar open in Jeffrey’s chilly hospital room, Daniel strode in, greeted
