Chapter 1246 A Change in Dalton
At the Wray residence, Kenton was on the brink of a breakdown as his plans faced constant disruptions.
To make matters worse, the Whitman family had suddenly reneged on their agreement. Kenton wondered what Lynette had done to bring about such predicaments.
“I didn’t expect the Whitmans to break their promise. They gave me their word! That old man is going to end up dying for his troubles!” Lynette argued aggrievedly.
“How are we supposed to manipulate the Whitman brothers if Reuben dies? Use your brains for once!
“And you better clean up the mess at the club. You’re doomed if we get dragged into your scandals,” Kenton warned angrily over the phone.
Hearing that, Lynette was visibly displeased. “You have some nerve lecturing me like that. You wouldn’t have gotten this far if it weren’t for my club. Besides, have you forgotten who sowed the seed of vanity into those girls? It was me!”
“Okay, you win. Keep contacting Marie and dig into the Quinnells‘ situation,” Kenton groaned.
He couldn’t shake the feeling that he had overlooked something, especially upon discovering his men had lost track of Wynter.
However, Kenton heard that Albert had acquired some stocks and met with several venture capitalists in Hawford.
In the past, Kenton would’ve been wary of such news. But with Yvette at the helm, he did not need to worry about his investments.
After all, Albert was no match for the prophetic Yvette. Still, Kenton couldn’t help but wonder about Wynter’s whereabouts.
Believing Kenton was fretting unnecessarily, Lynette gave a dismissive scoff. “How much can a young lady accomplish? Besides, the bodyguards mentioned losing track of her while she was shopping in Riogeb.
“She’s probably dazzled by Hawford’s splendor and plans to bring home some luxuries. After all, she’s just returned from the countryside.”
“You’re underestimating her. She must possess remarkable skills since she took over the Quinnell family.

“Though my friends in Kingborné can’t quite identify her capabilities, they’ve all warned me against starting a conflict with her. They called her a jinx.
“So, you better be more cautious and make sure no one finds any dirt on you,” Kenton warned with narrowed eyes.
Chapter 1247 The Damell Family
Chapter 1247 The Darnell Family
True to Wynter’s suspicion, Dalton had undergone noticeable changes. He could feel the evil aura intensify as he drew closer to his soul fragment..
It seemed that someone had been exploiting his remaining power for their own benefit. How bold, yet incredibly foolish.
Dalton caressed his red beaded bracelet, his fingers so pale they almost seemed transparent. He didn’t recall having any connections with the Wray family, though his memories had become hazy over time.
Beside him, Wolf sat obediently. Upon noticing Wynter, he hurriedly gestured to her with an angry face. His sign language made it clear that he was furious with the crow’s escape and vowed to skin him the next time he caught the bird.
The crow observed Wolf from the shadows, wondering if they should clear his head. Though Wolf suffered a blow to his head during the thunderstrike trial, he shouldn’t be confusing his allies with enemies.
Seeing Wolf’s frantic desire to devour him, the crow mused how Wolf would react upon meeting Whitley. After all, the fearsome beast Chaos had a penchant for eating snakes. The crow couldn’t help but wonder if Wynter was aware of that fact.
Unfortunately, Wynter had yet to realize Chaos‘ eating preferences. She wasn’t particularly troubled by the crow’s disappearance as she wasn’t keen on forcing a mythical beast to
stay.
At that moment, she seemed to recall something and turned to Wolf.
“You’re meeting a friend tonight. He showed up around your time of appearance.” Wynter grinned, leaving Wolf puzzled as he focused on counting his payment.
In truth, Wynter had left Whitley to protect Logan. Given Logan’s condition, she feared that something terrible would happen to him without a mythical beast’s protection.
Wynter had even arranged for Logan to join Tobias‘ film crew, hoping that the two could look out for each other while ensuring Logan’s safety. She was aware of Tobias‘ talent in spiritual practices and felt it would be a waste not to put it to use.
At that moment, Pablo called to update her about the invitation from the Southern Cascadia Chamber of Commerce. Apparently, the Darnell family had requested the Wrays to send Wynter the invitation.

Hearing that, Wynter arched a brow as she gently tapped on the armrest.
The Darnells were a highly affluent family with a diverse portfolio across various industries. Wynter wondered why such a family would send an invitation to the Quinnells.
“What do you think of them, Pablo? Are they a friend or a foe?” Wynter questioned curiously.

As Pablo monitored the stock trends, he replied, “Their representative in Hawford has close ties with the Wray family. However, I recently learned that their new head has arrived at Hawford.
“He might be the one who requested the invitation for the Quinnells. It’s possible he’s keen to meet the Quinnells, but he could have other intentions. I’m still working on the details.”
He paused momentarily and asked, “There’s something strange going on with the stocks lately, boss. Should I acquire some?”
“Strange stocks, you say?” Wynter hummed with interest.
“Several stocks have experienced a meteoric rise. I suspect someone has been deceitfully tampering with the stock prices. They’ve gone up over 100 points now,” Pablo reported as he moved the cursor.
Wynter’s eyes showed a brief flicker. She calmly instructed Pablo, “Give me the stocks‘ names. I’ll check it out tonight.”
With that, Wynter ended the call with Pablo. She then messaged Albert, asking for a meeting about the recent stock trend. After contacting Albert, she looked into the Darnell family’s recent activities.
While others struggled to uncover detailed information, Wolf easily pulled up a side profile picture of the Darnells‘ new head on his screen.
“We can’t see his face clearly. Are there any front–view pictures? But I guess he’s as secretive as you are.” Wynter chuckled as she enlarged the photo.
Her comment was directed at Dalton. When Wynter investigated his background, all she had been able to gather was a wide–shot photo capturing his tall stature and commanding presence.
The same went for the Darnell family’s new head–he was equally mysterious and elusive.
