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



Chapter 1532 Things Had Yet to End

Fredric didn't want Wynter around Hawford any longer. Meanwhile, Wynter had also already set sight on dealing with Fredric first.

The incident with Vanessa jumping off a building, though legally resolved, wasn't over for Wynter. While the law may turn a blind eye when no complaint was filed, Wynter refused to believe it was so straightforward.

Club Solstice's location was too suspicious, and she was certain that it was merely a facade hiding something much deeper she hadn't yet discovered.

Furthermore, where did the Winston family go? How could they vanish so easily upon arriving in Hawford? Wynter could not rest easy without uncovering Clyde's whereabouts.

After obtaining the crucial information she needed, she immediately tasked her team with investigating how Fredric had risen so quickly to become the city's third most powerful official over the past 18 years.

While dealing with him, she knew she had to strategically expose the true mastermind behind him as well.

From what Wynter could discern, this person behind Fredric was someone composed. He showed no reaction when the Wray and Montclair families fell. To someone like that, these families were mere ants, and their downfall was of little consequence.

She also recognized the threat of foreign infiltration and had already started mapping out how to dismantle these hidden forces.

Once she had resolved the matters in Hawford, she would lead the Special Unit in uprooting the foreign elements embedded within Cascadia, no matter how deep they were buried. After all, no matter how carefully concealed, they would eventually reveal their weak points.

At the same time, Fredric, dressed in a crisp shirt with gold-rimmed glasses perched on his nose, held a teacup in hand as he sat back in his chair. He had thought of a compromise. With the Wray and Montclair families already being interrogated to the point where nothing more could be extracted, it was time to make a different move. He might as well contact a different family.

Rather than use his own phone, he reached into his drawer and pulled out an old, outdated mobile phone. The design looked as if it belonged to another era, clearly showing its age.

Flipping through the records, he marked each of the four aristocratic families with distinct symbols. His finger hovered over the last name in the list.

As the call began to connect, Edison was still busy trying to cut off all ties with the Montclair family.

After the way Rosalyn spoke to Wynter today, it was clear that the Waldron family could no longer remain neutral as they had in the past.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

The Calico family, on the other hand, was already contemplating a reconciliation with the Whitman family. The Montclair family's downfall had hit them hard.

Some dismissed the Wray family's collapse as a mere coincidence thanks to the Dalton family's support for Wynter. They were said to have helped her observe the stock market and guided countless Cascadian investors to avoid foreign capital traps during a rare bull market.

But the Montclair family's fall was a direct statement. It made it clear that Wynter had the power to make these things happen!

The Calico family no longer dared to underestimate Wynter, who they once dismissed as uneducated and incapable. The Waldron family also wanted to reconcile, but it seemed impossible with things having escalated this far.

Edison didn't believe that Wynter would be easy to negotiate with. However, Rosalyn held a different perspective.

The impression Wynter had left on her today was profound. She didn't think escalating the situation further would benefit the Waldron family.

"Edison, listen to me. We don't have deep grudges with the Whitman family like the Wray and Montclair families do. Those families brought it upon themselves.

"We simply weren't as resolute in following the Whitman family's lead. With Mr. Whitman Senior's magnanimity, he won't make things difficult for us.

"We just got mixed up with the wrong people. We listened to the Wray family and treated that so-called fortune teller, Ms. Yates, as if she were a treasure.

"We thought that this girl from the Quinnell family was raised in a small town and wouldn't understand anything nor have any real skills. But after meeting her, I now realize she's far more capable than we ever thought."

Rosalyn, worried that Edison might not be able to resolve things on his own, suggested, "I'll go speak to Marie and apologize to the girl.

"It's all my fault for having a bad temper. Marie has always been forgiving. As long as we show sincerity, everything can be resolved."
