Chapter 1310 Looking Down on Wynter
Raphael’s remarks drew the attention of everyone around them. He was very smart, designing his words to pledge allegiance to Kenton and the Darnell family.
After all, many people had been wary of a renewed alliance between the Whitman and Quinnell families. They were teetering indecisively. By making such a statement now, Raphael was clearly signaling his loyalty to Kenton and Lucius.
Sure enough, Kenton’s lips curled into a faint smile before he put on a show of fairness and
stopped Raphael. “Mr. Hollin, that’s a bit too much. We should give the young ones a chance to prove themselves.
“Wynter isn’t just relying on her family. Hasn’t she been managing the Quinnell group quite well herself?”
“Mr. Wray, as businessmen, we’re all aware of how the Quinnell group was revived,” Raphael said, trailing off suggestively. “I don’t want to collaborate with Ms. Quinnell. Let’s see if anyone else here is willing to.”
The topic was already one that invited criticism. After all, the Quinnell Group was a large corporation with complex interests. It seemed improbable that a young girl recently brought back from a small county could revive a struggling old enterprise.
She even managed to push influential figures like Shane and Declan out and ultimately seized control of the entire Quinnell family’s fortunes. How was that possible?
Even an idiot could figure out that this was Fabian’s idea. The real masterminds were probably Albert and Sebastian. One was thriving in the venture capital circle, while the other was a top lawyer specializing in economic cases.
Wynter was merely a figurehead to boost the Quinnell family’s image. After all, in today’s digital age, marketing was essential to enhance an enterprise’s visibility.
The story about a young girl from a county town rising to become the Quinnell Group’s head could be sensational. In the end, it was all a part of Fabian’s great scheme. He had pulled off a major move.
Their friends in Kingbourne had noted that Fabian now visited the company almost daily. It was a stark contrast to his previous semi–retired state, indicating that the online rumors were far from
credible.
They believed that Wynter was a privileged brat. From driving a sports car to show off yesterday to making her grand entrance today, it was obvious that everything she had was thanks to her family.
And yet, she dared to look down on Yvette. They thought that was ridiculous.
However, while these people were looking down on Wynter, they failed to notice Lucius, whom they were trying so hard to please.
His gaze had navigated through the crowd and fixed on Wynter, and he wondered if this was really the daughter Marie held so dear.

His deep green eyes were as calm and inscrutable as a still lake. He had genuinely harbored a dislike for the Quinnell family. However, upon seeing Wynter, who appeared relaxed and languid, he seemed to dislike her less than he had anticipated.
Wynter certainly did not resemble Marie. They were different in appearance and temperament. Wynter’s presence was distinctively unconventional and refined. The ancient inscription tattoo on her neck accentuated her features.
She was not unlikeable because he didn’t look like Shane. In fact, her clear and expressive eyes reminded Lucius of Marie.
Wynter also noticed that Lucius, whom she was trying to probe, was looking at her. She was about to approach him when a light and sweet voice interrupted her.
It was Lynette, who arrived late. “Kenton, why didn’t you call me when the Chamber’s meeting started?”
She was dressed fashionably. She carried a Hermès handbag and wore the latest diamond necklace design.
Her makeup was flawless, and she moved with grace. The sound of her high heels clicked on Serenity Hotel’s wooden floor. She was beautiful, but something about her appearance…
