Chapter 1313 Wynter Never Loses to Snobs
The murmurs around her utterly crushed Lynette’s once lofty pride. Her face shifted between paling and flushing with embarrassment.
Indeed, back in school, Lucius truly didn’t care about anyone. But how could he forget her? She even had Marie deliver a love letter to him on her behalf.
That memory still made her resent Marie. Despite knowing him, Marie had refused to help. She told Lynette that confessions should be made in person.
Back then, she was eager to become Lucius‘ girlfriend. She even tried to ask him out directly, knowing he was open–minded, but he never paid her any attention.
Lynette thought that she had completely changed herself after all these years. There was no way Lucius wouldn’t remember her. How could he, in front of so many people, claim not to know her?
Kenton felt nothing but embarrassment. Seeing that Lynette was on the verge of losing control, he grabbed her and roughly pushed her aside. “Lynette, this is a Chamber meeting. If you have something to discuss, do it privately.”
Kenton wondered if Lynette realized that Lucius‘ words had already made their allies question whether their relationship with the Darnell family was as close as they claimed. This fool should have stayed at the club instead of causing trouble here!
Lynette had originally come with the intention to embarrass Marie. She wanted to see how the Whitmans, who once adored Marie, would treat her now.
But who would have thought that it would be her who ended up being embarrassed in front of
everyone?
Lynette’s eyes locked onto Wynter. It was all this little wretch’s fault! It was her question that had stripped away all her pride!
Wynter had indeed done it on purpose. She even shrugged at Lynette’s glare. “Ms. Lynette, don’t be upset. It’s my first time at the Chamber of Commerce. I had no idea you were pursuing Mr.
Lucius.”
It might have been fine if she hadn’t said her last sentence. But as soon as she did, every Wray family member’s face turned red with embarrassment.
Wynter even shook her head and sighed at Lucius. “Mr. Lucius, how could you say you don’t know her? That’s too harsh on Ms. Lynette. Being pursued by her is quite the honor in Hawford. You’re the first to have to have that honor.”
“I’m not interested,” Lucius replied, his gaze never leaving Wynter.
Lucius thought to himself that Wynter seemed a bit too clever, even to the point where it was a little flippant.
How did it come to this? How did his own romantic status become a tool for Wynter to mock the Wray family? Was it just his imagination? This was the first time he had ever been used in such a way since taking over his family.

Wynter sighed. “What a shame. Ms. Lynette, don’t be too upset. Matters of the heart are like this…”
“Enough!” Even with Kenton holding her back, Lynette couldn’t help but let out a low growl. She still had to maintain her image even when she was so enraged that her fingers were trembling.
“Wynter, didn’t your mother teach you how to behave in different situations? I think she’s been so focused on Shane since marrying into the Quinnell family that she forgot to teach you such basic manners,” Lynette continued.
“Ms. Lynette, why are you so angry? Did I say something wrong?” Wynter was clearly not very skilled at playing innocent. Her tone was neither pitiful nor bewildered, and her expression remained indifferent.
Her clear, refined face looked aloof. “My mother only taught me that as a girl, you should never throw yourself at someone. We shouldn’t claim to be a former schoolmate of someone who doesn’t even know you, either.
“How delusional must one be to imagine themselves as a person’s future wife just because they attended the same school? I truly don’t understand.”
