Chapter 1305 Wynter
“Mr. Reuben, what are you talking about? Wynter isn’t an outsider. She is the late Mr. Quinnell Senior’s descendant. So, of course, she is qualified to participate in the Chamber’s assessment,” Kenton continued.
At this moment, Kenton regretted sparing Reuben’s life. If he had dealt with him back then, he could have avoided his current passive position.
If it hadn’t been for the instructions from that person, who needed to use Reuben to restrain the Whitmans, he would have been long dead by now Instead, he now stood before Kenton, calling him his name with such familiarity every breath.
“That’s good, then,” Reuben said, not bothering to look at Kenton’s expression while leaning on his dragon cane.
He continued, “When I heard everyone belittling my granddaughter in my presence just now, I thought perhaps you had forgotten the true purpose behind the Chamber of Commerce’s establishment.
“It’s good that Kenton hasn’t forgotten. Otherwise, if the Chamber members were reduced to relying on fortune telling, I wouldn’t know how to face the idealistic and ambitious heroes above with this old face of mine.”
Reuben’s statement not only left Kenton unable to refute but also embarrassed Yvette.
After all, it was absurd to allow a fortune teller to dictate everything in a well–established Chamber of Commerce. When everyone lost their own judgment, how different would they be from puppets?
Wynter listened from the side, suppressing the urge to applaud Reuben. Was this the feeling of having someone powerful backing you? It was definitely an exhilarating experience.
Indeed, being vulnerable was the first necessary step to improve the relationship between the Quinnell and Whitman families.
Wynter knew Reuben wouldn’t leave her in a passive position at the Chamber of Commerce. Even if she didn’t cure Reuben, she knew both her uncles, Noah and Taylor, also wouldn’t target her at the Chamber.
The Whitmans‘ values didn’t condone taking pride in taking others‘ possessions. And those who had thought otherwise felt like they had been slapped in the face.
Wynter stood still at the side, the tear mole at the corner of her eye glinting. She remained silent throughout, allowing Reuben to take the lead.
It wasn’t as if Wynter didn’t have more direct methods at her disposal. She could expose her identity as the angel investor. This would cause several of the Wray family’s industry chains to face critical shortages.
It was just that it wasn’t necessary to resort to such measures yet. More importantly, in this situation, one would come to understand what truly mattered.
Chapter 1305 Wynter
The Wray family’s threat to the Whitmans relied on the rift between the Whitman and Quinnell families. But what if that rift were mended?
Could Kenton still speak so recklessly to Noah and Taylor as he did earlier? Was Kenton not obedient now?
Wynter smirked as her fingertip idly brushed against the black ring on her index finger.
Reuben glanced sideways at Wynter. “Wynter, remember to consult your uncles if you need to take action later. Don’t act recklessly like you did when you first arrived so that embarrass Mr. Quinnell.”

In reality, no one knew exactly what was discussed at the Chamber of Commerce if they hadn’t been there before. However, with Reuben’s remarks, Wynter began to understand that there must be some sort of selection criteria in place.
“Don’t worry, Grandpa. I will remember that,” Wynter replied.
Just then, the surveillance camera beside Wynter moved slightly.
In a hidden room on Serenity Hotel’s top floor, Gail held a glass of imported grape wine as he watched the live feed from the surveillance monitor. Next to him lay a recently played game.
At that moment, a knock was heard.
“Come in.”
“Boss, there’s nothing special about this Chamber meeting. In the main hall, only the Wray and Whitman families are noteworthy. The rest are minor players. There’s also a new heir sent by the Quinnell family from Kingbourne,” Samiyah said as she searched for a chair and sat down.
As Gail watched the monitor, an image of Wynter smiling faintly at the camera suddenly appeared. He instinctively leaned back as he revealed a deeply intrigued expression.
