Chapter 1267 Lynette’s Jealousy
Wolf’s appetite was whetted by the mention of snake meat. He eagerly nodded and abandoned his work momentarily.
Wynter paused for a moment before she pulled out her phone and googled what Ancient Beasts preferred to eat. The search results were incomplete, so she turned to the knowledgeable Dalton for help.
Dalton’s reply was prompt and straightforward. “Dragons.”
As expected.
Wynter felt a sense of relief as she patted Wolf’s head. “It’s a good thing I didn’t take you upstairs. Alright, let’s switch cars. You’re coming with me to find something.”
Switch cars? Wolf was visibly puzzled.
Just then, a brand new Lamborghini arrived at the hotel. Its appearance was incredibly sleek, with lights and a rear wing that looked stunning.
Wolf’s face lit up with excitement. His youthful features reflected a single thought–trouble! He knew Wynter well enough to
understand that the flashier the entrance, the bigger the plan. And he loved it.
The people under the Wrays, who had been following Wynter all day, finally caught a glimpse of her and looked at each other in confusion.
“Is she just coming out of the hotel? Didn’t she already leave?”
“Could she have come back earlier? When did she return?”

“Never mind, just tell everyone outside to head to the front. Tell them that Wynter Quinnell has appeared, and it looks like she’s heading toward Riogeb.”
But Wynter’s destination wasn’t just Riogeb. She drove the Lamborghini with its sunroof wide open, making a grand spectacle from Riogeb all the way to the Wray family’s club. The attention she garnered was impossible to ignore.
Many onlookers, including wealthy ladies who frequented the club for beauty treatments, were abuzz with gossip.
“Whose child is driving so wildly?”
“That’s the girl from the Quinnell family. She just arrived in Hawford.”
“A girl?”
“Yeah. Marie’s daughter.”
Lynette, standing nearby and listening, felt increasingly irritated She hadn’t expected that after all these years, the mother–and- daughter duo could still dominate conversations so effortlessly.
Someone asked her, “Lynette, do you know Marie’s daughter?”
“I haven’t met her,” Lynette replied with a stiff smile. After all, she just got botox treatment. “But from this display, she doesn’t seem much like Marie.”
“Indeed, she seems more like a nouveau riche. She is showing her car off as if no one else has luxury cars.”
Lynette’s smile remained fixed, though she was inwardly pleased by the comment.
“Well, I did run into Marie recently. She looks just as she did before.

“You saw her? When?” Lynette didn’t believe that her old acquaintances could still reach Marie, as she had long intervened.
“Just yesterday. Didn’t she come to the club?” The person
hesitated, glancing at Lynette before continuing in a lower voice,” And she left in someone else’s car.
“Someone else? Who?” Lynette asked.
“The one from the Darnell family.”
As soon as those words dropped, Lynette’s expression instantly changed. She gripped her coffee cup tightly, struggling to control her emotions. “That’s impossible! How could she be in his car?”
Lynette didn’t think Marie deserved such treatment. Although she didn’t say her last thoughts aloud, her voice was sharp enough to silence the surrounding chatter.
Realizing the sensitivity of the topic, the person quickly corrected herself, “I must have been mistaken. How is it possible for her to be in his car?”
Everyone present knew Lucius Darnell’s significance and Lynette’s intentions.
“Of course, it must have been a mistake!” Lynette yelled before she continued, “Still, it’s shocking how poorly Marie raised her daughter. I wonder if Mr. Reuben’s health would deteriorate if he saw this…”
