Landon was smiling widely, lacking any semblance of the dignified demeanor expected of a scion from a prominent family. In fact, he seemed beneath even some street thugs. There was a reason the Chamber of Commerce members looked down on him.
Landon believed that his gambling-addicted elder brother wouldn't return to Cascadia for nearly a decade. As long as the Montclair family could bring down the Whitman family, he would have the power to dictate terms within the entire Chamber!
In this regard, he certainly aligned with Tamia, who embodied all the flaws of her generation. She was shrewd, calculated, and had a knack for playing favorites while looking down on others.
Tamia had no desire for Alfred to return, which explained why she was so quick to hand over money.
In her eyes, it was only a matter of time before Taylor would soon face legal troubles and the Whitman family would plummet from its current highs into despair. Wynter, too, would pay the price for it.
All of this felt like an established fact to her! The movements of various aristocratic families conspiring against Wynter only bolstered her confidence.
None of them thought to ask Kenton for information. If anyone had the slightest intention of saving him, they might have been able to gather some real intel about Wynter.
Yvette, on the other hand, was begging everywhere. She was claiming she knew Wynter's secrets and could help them avoid potential pitfalls.
But among the aristocratic families, who would still want to meet her? The wealthy ladies would rather see her gone.
The rich had their own subtle ways of humiliating others and were never direct. Instead, they would choose to torture one slowly.
Right now, Yvette was so terrified she could barely sleep.
She knew murder was illegal, and they couldn't simply make her disappear in the bustling city. With her involvement in the Wray family's economic scandal, she was compelled to assist with the investigation.
Ironically, she felt safest when she was in the police station. After all, once she stepped outside, she would be shadowed by a group of intimidating bodyguards
At night, she could hear knocking on her windows and doors, with those men seemingly intent on assaulting her. They wouldn't allow her to leave, nor did they plan to let her live comfortably in Hawford.
Yvette had attempted to report this to the police, but without evidence, her cries for help went unheard. Now, she had no choice but to seek out the ladies whom she had previously maintained good relations with. "We didn't go looking for you, but here you are. You're just a bumpkin who crawled out of the hills, yet you dared to fool us into thinking you're some kind of fortune teller," Rosalyn Barne, the Waldron family's lady, said with a sneer.
She continued, "That sister of yours is the esteemed one. What are you supposed to be? We've arranged a meeting with Ms. Quinnell, so I advise you to leave now if you don't want to see her."
Yvette perked up at the mention of Wynter. "Mrs. Waldron! I know you're just trying to put on a show by inviting her here.
"It's not like you genuinely want to get to know her. You're just trying to intimidate her. I know her secret! I really do!
"She's not what she seems. Don't be fooled by her appearance. You must have read comics, right? She's just like-"
"Shut up!" Rosalyn was utterly disgusted with Yvette, a mere bumpkin, who didn't know how to behave appropriately.
No matter how much the Waldron family wanted to deal with Wynter behind the scenes, they shouldn't air it in public
Wynter had already cost them a fortune in the stock market. Firstly, it was because of the false promises made by Yvette. Secondly, Wynter not only had the Quinnell and Whitman families backing her but also reportedly had the support of the Yarwood family's youngest head.
Rosalyn's husband had considered this and thought it was best to invite Wynter for a discussion. The
Waldron family certainly hoped Wynter would realize the situation and act wisely.
Now, with Yvette shouting like this, Rosalyn couldn't help but feel annoyed. 'If you can't handle this game, then don't play! What business do you have meddling in our affairs, you bumpkin?"
