The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call

Chapter 1431 True Allies

"Even the Whitmans' eldest grandson withdrew. It's obvious that the Whitmans know this project is a money pit."

"Even though it's not proper for them to pull out like this given that they're family, who wants to lose money?"

"Exactly. We should stay sharp and keep our distance from the Quinnell family. We should steer clear with whatever they're up to."

"Who can afford to get involved? I'm afraid she might come after me and tell me to invest."

It was only when one was at rock bottom that one could truly see who their true allies were. Those who were indecisive or had ulterior motives were now clearly avoiding Wynter.

Even though she hadn't paid them any attention and merely crossed paths with them at the Chamber of Commerce, they acted as if they had seen something dirty. They would pretend to be busy and disperse quickly.

This was when people's true nature became most apparent.

Some people had modest profits and were simply using the recent trend in domestic products to stabilize their cash flow.

These individuals were the ones who genuinely tried to offer advice to Wynter when they encountered her. Such people were genuinely well-meaning.

However, the overwhelming majority were merely interested in observing the spectacle.

Wynter arrived at the Chamber of Commerce to submit some documents.

Her car was parked outside, and sitting inside was none other than Dalton. He was more perceptive of the reactions around Wynter than anyone else. His eyes grew darker and colder, as if a layer of frost was about to form.

Finally, he picked up his phone and dialed a number. His voice was low as he spoke, "Transfer another 500 million to Mrs. Yarwood's account."

Wynter, who was outside the car, couldn't hear this phone call.

The saying that fate had a way of bringing enemies together was illustrated perfectly by this scene.

Just then, Kenton arrived with a group of people. He was also here to submit documents. After all, they were involved in a project with the Chamber of Commerce.

"Oh, look who it is. It's Wynter and her flashy car." Kenton continued with a tone that was anything but pleasant, "I heard you recently acquired a piece of worthless land and might end up losing money.

"Don't worry. The Whitmans might not help you, but you'll always have me. If you meet any difficulties, you can always talk to me about it."

As soon as he was done with his sentence, the men behind him started laughing. It was clear that they were mocking Wynter.

Wynter glanced over, her eyes slowly moving across the people's faces. "I didn't realize you were so concerned about me, Mr. Wray. I'm still figuring out whether the land I bought will be profitable or not, but you seem to have already figured it out."

Kenton waved his hand, which was holding a cigar, dismissively. "Wynter, you're still young and

inexperienced in real estate. It's obvious whether some land will be profitable or not.

"As your elder, and given the good relations between the Wray and Whitman families, I'm just looking out for you to help you avoid any pitfalls."

Wynter chuckled at his words and casually played with a small knife before lifting her gaze slightly.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Wray. I heard you also bought a piece of land. I wish you success. But if it turns out to be a bad investment, it might end up being quite a joke."

"You!" Someone wanted to argue but was quickly stopped by Kenton.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Wynter didn't bother looking back. She walked toward her Lamborghini right after speaking.

The Chamber of Commerce's members were displeased with Wynter's attitude. "Mr. Wray, are you really going to allow that girl to walk all over you? I'd have dealt with her a long time ago if it were me!"

Kenton regained his composure and replied, "She's not only from the Quinnell family but also the fiancée of the Yarwood family's scion. The Whitman family might have given up on her, but the Yarwood family might not just stand by.

"We can occasionally give her a hard time, but we need to be careful with how we do it. It's not like she will be able to act so arrogantly for much longer anyway. Just wait and see,"

By Monday, whether it was her or Albert, they'd be left with nothing but regret and a need to kneel and beg!
