Chapter 1315 Let’s Discuss
Lynette’s downfall left everyone present with a sense of unease. She had undoubtedly become the Chamber of Commerce’s laughingstock.
In the world of business, no one was a fool. It was clear now that Lynette had lied about her connection to the Darnell family. But what about Kenton? Would Lucius really back him up?
Just as everyone was speculating, the aloof and indifferent Lucius suddenly spoke to Wynter. His tone was inscrutable, but his deep green eyes landed on her “What do you want to discuss?”
Instantly, murmurs rippled through the crowd.
Kenton’s face turned ashen, looking as lifeless as a withered autumn leaf. He stood frozen, unable to utter a word. After all, Lucius, who stood before him, represented the pinnacle of power and capital.
Wynter was finally polite now. “May we speak privately?”
Lucius glanced at his bodyguard with a meaningful look. The bodyguard, a foreigner with an earpiece, swiftly cleared a path.
“You’re running out of time,” Lucius noted, referring to the auction items.
Wynter responded with casual ease, “Then I’ll keep it brief.”
The both of them were quickly separated from the crowd by a wall of bodyguards. It was impossible for anyone to eavesdrop on their conversation.
Kenton clenched his fists as he felt an unprecedented sense of crisis. He couldn’t understand why Lucius was willing to talk with a privileged brat like Wynter. Could it really be because of Gordon?
As Kenton scanned the surrounding members‘ expressions, his biggest concern was that they might turn on him at the last minute. After all, he knew better than anyone that most of the Chamber members were
opportunists.
It seemed he needed to make preparations. With this in mind, Kenton glanced at three or four people standing in the distance. They were positioned behind Reuben, and they each gave a subtle nod in return.
Amid the chaos, no one noticed this exchange… Well, except for the people monitoring the surveillance
cameras.
“Boss, should we intervene? It seems like the Wrays have planted people in the Whitman family and are planning something shady,” Samiyah asked.
Gail continued with his game. “No, it’s none of our business. Have you forgotten the hotel’s rules? We should not interfere in the guests‘ private affairs.”
Samiyah silently questioned it. Hadn’t Gail claimed that the woman downstairs was the boss‘ wife? She was starting to doubt that statement’s truthfulness.
Meanwhile, Wynter didn’t waste any time beating around the bush with Lucius.
“I’ve heard you and my mother are old acquaintances.” Wynter’s eyes curved in amusement. “So, it should be alright if I call you Mr. Luce, right?”
Lucius was caught off guard by the unexpected nickname. He paused for a moment, then nodded. “It’s alright.”
“Then I’ll be straightforward, Mr. Luce. My mother mentioned that you might be able to help me.” Wynter got straight to the point. She believed that it was better to be direct with someone like Lucius.

Besides, if he had really harbored feelings for Marie for decades and was a man of good character, Wynter wouldn’t mind lending a hand. She had a nagging feeling that there was more to their story.
Upon hearing this, Lucius chuckled. His deep green eyes gave nothing away. “She really tells you everything. It seems the rumors are true. She must care for you a lot.”
Wynter didn’t respond directly. Instead, she asked, “Mr. Luce, you must know that my mother has divorced my scoundrel father, right?”
Lucius felt a lingering discomfort in his chest at the mention of that. However, his expression remained cool and composed. “Yes, I’m aware.”
Wynter thought about what she had learned the previous day before raising an eyebrow. “Were you only aware of that when you were negotiating with my mother last night?”
Lucius was rendered speechless for a moment.
