Chapter 1268 Angering the Wrays
The chatter resumed in the club, but Lynette couldn’t act like
nothing had happened. Her old acquaintance’s words had struck a nerve.
Marie was always such a flirt! How dare she, after having so many children, still shamelessly throw herself at others?
The more Lynette thought about it, the angrier she became. She desperately wanted the Whitman family to collapse completely.
Did Marie really think that returning to Hawford meant she could go back to the way things were before? It seemed she needed to be taught a harsh lesson.
Lynette was already fuming by Tobias‘ refusal to endorse their club. How dare they refuse her when she gave them a chance?
She wanted to see how Marie would come begging for help once Reuben was left without medical care!
What Lynette didn’t know was that her plans were already thwarted. After all, the Whitmans had just formally rejected all cooperation with the Wray family.
This left Kenton fuming in his office. He threw a fit right after hanging up on Taylor. “What is going on with the Whitmans?”
They were clearly about to sign the contract. As long as he could invite Evan, the Whitmans would seal the deal.
But in the blink of an eye, the Whitmans had changed their minds! Taylor had abruptly said they no longer needed him. This “grateful son” dared to say they didn’t need his help! What a joke!

Kenton called the hospital frustratedly only to be told that Chester was already resting.
Just then, his staff reported that Wynter had shown up, driving a sports car that was currently parked outside his company building. Kenton thought Wynter would come up to plead her case. He believed that by now, she should understand who held the power in the Southern Cascadia Chamber of Commerce.
If she wanted to reconcile with the Whitmans, she would have to pay her respects to him first.
With that in mind, Kenton smirked. He leaned back in his executive chair and crossed his legs. “What can’t get from the Whitmans, I’ll get from the Quinnells. It will be the same.”
In a partnership, there should always be something to gain. Since Wynter was the one asking him for help, he was sure to set a high price.
Confident and prepared, he had his secretary ready an investment contract and coffee.
But five minutes passed, then ten, and she still hadn’t come up. He waited and waited until he finished his coffee, only to be told, “She just drove around and left.”
Kenton’s blood boiled even further as his anger flared. “That
Quinnell brat!” Clutching his aching chest, he was truly at his wits‘ end with frustration.
Meanwhile, Wynter’s purpose for the joyride was merely to stir up resentment. It wouldn’t be fair if only Reuben was ill. It would only be right if everyone was equally angry.
Wynter wanted the focus on her, ensuring the ongoing

investigation proceeded smoothly. The most crucial key was that no one knew the true intentions behind her act.
3/3
Her antics had already spread throughout the Southern Cascadia Chamber of Commerce, painting her as rebellious and uncouth.
Among the members of the Chamber of Commerce was Taylor. He saw the photos and touched the screen with his fingertip.
As her uncle, his only thoughts were that Wynter remained unchanged since childhood. She had always enjoyed interests that boys typically liked. She was rough and rebellious, just like him!
As Wynter completed her round, she mentally mapped the routes and noted down some network passwords.
“How was it?” she asked Wolf and casually rested a hand on the steering wheel.
Her handsome racing attire and wind–blown hair gave her an effortlessly chic look, especially as she turned to him with a smirk She looked just like a stunning antagonist straight out of a movie.
