CHAPTER 1198
Chapter 1198 Fabian’s Regret
Wynter found it strange that Larry kept her engagement a secret. She had expected him to share the news excitedly.
Pablo was stunned. “But weren’t you supposed to be in college, Boss?
“I repeated a grade and only started college this year. Besides, age doesn’t have anything to do with my bethroral. We’ve been engaged since we were kids,” Wynter replied nonchalantly.
Pablo was curious to know the man that caught Wynter’s attention. Judging by the voice, he assumed the fiancé came from the northern
region.
He also noted a faint cough over the phone. While Wynter’s fiancé seemed considerate, Pablo couldn’t help but worry for his health. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Wynter realized Pablo had yet to learn that she was the Quinnell family’s daughter. However, she understood it was an oath of secrecy
that Larry and his friends had taken.
“That reminds me. I need your help, Pablo. I recall you hold
considerable influence within the Southern Cascadia Chamber of
Commerce.
“Are you perhaps familiar with the Wray family?” Wynter asked upon
recalling the invitation she received.
“Of course. Are you thinking of joining the chamber of commerce,
Boss?” Pablo replied eagerly, feeling happy to be of assistance.
Wynter smirked. “Indeed. To be exact, I’m more interested in the Wray
family.”
Pablo’s tone instantly turned serious. “The Wrays aren’t exceptional characters but are sharp in business. They’ve been hoping for a collaboration, but I turned them down. What do you need to know
about them, Boss?”
“Tell me everything about the Wray family. And can you tell me about Cleo Sinclair in Hawford? What about Clyde Winston? Have you heard anything about his whereabouts?” Wynter fired off her questions.
Despite having conducted an online investigation, she believed it wasn’t enough.
Wynter had journeyed to Hawford to retrieve an item left by Gordon. However, she discovered layers of secrets as she delved deeper into
her investigation.
It was as if an unseen force was orchestrating a sinister conspiracy. On top of that, they had been stalked since arriving in Hawford.
As the Special Unit’s leader, Wynter quickly identified the stalkers with her sharp counter–surveillance skills. Instead of confronting them, she chose to ignore them as she hoped to uncover their intentions.
Based on the clue Gordon had left on the newspaper, Wynter deduced that the item was hidden in the Quinnell residence in Hawford.
As she was conspicuous, she instructed Bryce to head to the Quinnell residence instead. No one would care to notice a butler anyway.
Wynter didn’t reveal her search to anyone. She instructed Bryce to observe the residence for anything unusual and look into the
remaining individuals Gordon had brought with him.
She also tasked Bryce with identifying those who remembered Gordon’s kindness.
Only after obtaining the necessary information could Wynter proceed with her plan.
Meanwhile, Warren was reporting to Fabian in the Quinnell family’s memorial hall in Kingborne.
“It seems Ms. Wynter and her companions have safely arrived in Hawford. She has instructed Bryce to head to the residence there.
“As expected of Ms. Wynter, she has cleverly understood my intentions. When do you think we should initiate the preparations, sir?
Warren questioned.
Fabian sighed wearily. “The time will come. There’s no need to hurry. I have faith in Wynter’s capabilities. While I’m unconcerned with other matters, I’m troubled by the Whitmans. We need to know the cause of
their resentment.
“I sense there’s more than just the issue with Madam Morrow. Now
that Sevie has gone to see them, I hope we can mend the rift that has lasted for so long, even if it requires my personal apology.”
