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

Chapter 1516 The Plan Backfired

In an instant, they felt disenchanted with Yvette. They all had the money to pay for their meals anyway, so there was no need to flatter her any longer.

All of them glanced at Terrence, whose mind was a chaotic mess. He wished Yvette was right as that would mean his judgment wasn't flawed. However, the reality was quite the opposite. All he could feel was the mounting embarrassment!

"I'm not going," Camell was the first to speak up.

One by one, the others followed suit, expressing their reluctance to join the meal. When no one wanted to go out for even a treated meal, it clearly indicated that the host lacked social standing.

Yvette had never experienced such humiliation before. She was used to being the center of attention and having people flock to her. Now, even these inexperienced young men were looking down on her!

"I understand now! You all favor the rich. Now that Wynter is successful, you want to curry favor with her." Yvette sneered. 'It's just like how you used to flatter me."

No one wanted to hear her speak like that. They were all young men filled with youthful vigor.

"Who are you talking about?' Carnell was offended. "We're not Terrence!"

"Terrence, listen to him! How can he say that about me?" Yvette was on the verge of tears, leveraging her looks to appear pitiful.

Terrence stood in the middle, caught between his friends and crush. He could never have imagined that coming to Hawford would result in such a scene.

Yvette had changed, and the mutual disdain between his friends and Yvette was palpable. The arguments were overshadowing any semblance of camaraderie.

He had thought that once they arrived in Hawford, Yvette would summon a chauffeur to take them on a tour of major companies. He had even bragged about it before they arrived, only to find that nothing was as he had imagined.

Yvette, like her social media persona, seemed glamorous but was riddled with flaws.

This was the most embarrassing moment for Terrence! Men like him often didn't truly like anyone. He was only enamored with the status and benefits she could bring.

So, when Yvette was no longer someone with a high standing, he swiftly pulled his hand away from hers. Yvette was momentarily stunned. She hadn't expected her most loyal admirer would ever defy her. Terrence was also at a loss, feeling only frustration. "Yvette, let's forget the meal. We're really in a hurry." Without waiting for her response, he strode off with the other young men. It was as if he was deliberately putting as much distance between himself and Yvette as possible

No one was more regretful than Terrence currently. He might have felt better if Wynter had taught them a lesson.

The most painful part was that Wynter didn't even glance at them, treating them as if they were mere nuisance. That realization hit the hardest!

The group of young men experienced true indifference for the first time.

Terrence wanted to find a way to contact Wynter. He asked everyone in the alumni group but soon remembered she hadn't even been added to the group.

Standing there, Yvette felt a headache coming on from the anger building inside her.

"Those arrogant fools will see what happens when I exchange information with the Winston family!' Yvette was fuming.

Recently, Yvette had been hounded by people hired by the aristocratic families. Now, she found herself

resentfully grateful to Wynter for forcing her into this humiliating situation. Without that confrontation, she might not have been able to shake off her pursuers!

Convinced of her own cleverness, Yvette thought she had the upper hand. She believed that Wynter was oblivious to her schemes.

And, unlike her, she was certain Wynter had secrets buried deep. With the Winston family backing her, she was confident she could create chaos!

Yvette believed that she had gotten rid of the aristocratic families that were stalking her. She waited until the male students were completely out of sight before she plotted to approach the Winston family.

However, she remained oblivious that this was a scheme deliberately orchestrated by Wynter. The comments about the stocks were also a calculated move. Since the very beginning, Wynter had already suspected that Yvette was not truly aligned with the Wray family.

Clyde's whereabouts had remained a mystery ever since he entered Hawford. Wynter didn't believe Yvette was unaware of it. That was why she had provoked her in front of everyone, planting a few pieces of bait to make Yvette think she had leverage over her.

Hence, the moment Yvette started making a move, there were already people following her. This time, however, the pursuers were not from the aristocratic families but from Wynter's side.

At the same time, Rosalyn, who had invited Wynter for afternoon tea, seemed amiable enough. But every single word she had said was subtly warning Wynter to be humble.

"I know your mother, Wynter. Let me give you some advice. Being amicable brings profits. We're all part of the Chamber of Commerce, so there's no need for us to turn against each other. Isn't it better if we all make money together?"

Wynter listened to her, not even bothering to lift her teacup. With one hand supporting her chin, she yawned out of boredom. It wasn't until her phone lit up with a notification that her eyes lit up with interest again.

"That's not a good idea,' she said, pressing a button on her phone.

After sending a brief message, she looked up with a playful smile. 'I thought you would be of a higher caliber since you took an hour out of your busy schedule for this, Mrs. Waldron. But it seems like we're just going around in circles with the same old advice."

Rosalyn couldn't help but chuckle dryly at Wynter's boldness. It was true that she had only managed to invite Wynter out due to her connection to Marie. But she had never encountered such arrogance from a youngster before.

"Well, what a sharp tongue you have!' Rosalyn sipped her tea. 'It seems we can't continue this conversation. I thought I was doing you a favor by reminding you out of respect for your mother, but you clearly don't appreciate it. Then I guess we'll see each other in business!"

Rosalyn grabbed her bag and left with a displeased and darkened expression.

When someone asked about it, she would just coldly remark, "Since she wants to ignore my warning, let's see what happens when the Montclair family steps in. Let's see if she can still be so arrogant when her uncle goes behind bars!"

The Montclair family had been eager to take action for a while. This was particularly true for Landon, who wanted to have a say in the Chamber of Commerce.

Hence, as soon as Alfred arrived at the airport, he made a call to the relevant authorities to report the Whitman Group for questionable financial practices.

In an instant, this action stirred up a storm of gossip. After all, the Whitman family already had a responsible figure embroiled in a divorce lawsuit. Noah was allegedly a scoundrel who refused to share any assets with his estranged wife after cheating on her!

The aristocratic families were more than happy to see such drama unfold, and the Montclair family was

thrilled.

Meanwhile, in Whitman Group's office, Noah sat in his office as he stared at the USB drive on his desk.

He soon called his secretary in. "Take this, and make everything public."

It was time to let the truth be known. No one enjoyed having their personal affairs become the subject of public scrutiny, but Whitman Group would suffer even more damage if he remained silent.

At the same time, Rodrigo sighed as he got on a phone call with Ophelia, who was in the Montclair residence. "We've just gathered some new information. It turns out that the Whitman family had transferred their shares long before, which means your marital assets are effectively zero.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

"There's more bad news, Ms. Montclair. In the past two days, the internet has been buzzing about your divorce. At first, people sympathized with you, but just now, some very damaging evidence surfaced.

"Apparently, someone revealed that your marriage with Mr. Whitman wasn't as consensual as it seemed and that Noah was coerced into marrying you under a plot.

"Furthermore, there are allegations pointing toward Mrs. Montclair Senior's son, linking him to illegal activities and a series of crimes. Now, public opinion has completely shifted, with most of the blame falling on the Montclair family."
