“I have a plan to deal with the Chamber of Commerce,” Wynter interjected.
She refused to burden an elderly man with her troubles. And, given her status as one of the few angel investors, she could easily join the Southern Cascadia Chamber of Commerce.
Aside from Larry and his associates, no one knew about Wynter’s role as an angel investor. Even Fabian was unaware of her involvement at such a young age. It might be bewildering, but Wynter was undeniably an exceptional
individual.
Her remarkable intuition for profits and sharp business acumen set her apart from others. What began as casual investing had turned Wynter into a prominent angel investor.
If those in the Southern Cascadia Chamber of Commerce
learned of that, they wouldn’t have belittled her as an ignorant girl.
Little did they know that Wynter might hold certain shares in their companies. The aristocrats were dependent on
capitalists, and Wynter was one of them.
Although Henry acknowledged Wynter’s capabilities, he feared the application of Kingborne’s methods into Hawford might lead to setbacks.
Despite Wynter’s reassurance, Henry still arranged for someone to accompany her. “This is Marco Vaughan, Ms.
Wynter. He’s fourth in rank here.
“While he might be mute, he’s well versed in the affairs and personnel in the Chamber of Commerce and knows a lot of secrets. We’d feel more at ease if you bring him along.

The caretakers, who were once supported by Gordon, had never forgotten the Quinnell family’s former glory in Hawford.
Yet, only the strong would thrive in the world. They could only. watch with sorrow and helplessness as changes unfolded within the Southern Cascadia Chamber of Commerce.
