“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.”
