Chapter 1203 More Than Meets the Eye
Frustrated, the drivers started blaring their horns Impatiently.
Confused, Benjamin attempted to step out to inspect the situation. when he heard Wynter asking him a question.
“What’s that building?” she asked. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
Despite his irritation with the traffic, Benjamin replied respectfully,” It’s the Hawford Financial Center, Ms. Quinnell.
“You might not be familiar since it’s your first time in the city, but that place houses numerous finance companies worth over 100 million. See that building across? That’s Hawford’s famous stock exchange.”
Wynter closed her eyes, seemingly deep in thought. A three-
dimensional layout of the crime scene and its surrounding buildings. materialized in her mind. When she opened her eyes once more, she noticed the car had slightly moved.
Wynter shifted her gaze and questioned, “What about that majestic building?”
“Oh, that? That nightclub has been the youngsters‘ favorite! It’s been all the rage for the past two years.
“You should’ve seen the crowd flocking in. My daughter wanted to check it out and asked for my money, but I refused.
“Call me conservative, but I don’t think young girls should visit such places often. If you’re interested, you can ask Mr. Yarwood to
accompany you. Just don’t go alone as it’s dangerous,” Benjamin advised.

Wynter chuckled in response. “I’ve been there a few times. It’s quite decent under normal circumstances.”
As soon as she spoke, Dalton seemingly finished his conversation
and removed his Bluetooth earbud. He looked at her, his face
charming and elegant, and asked, “You’ve been there a few times?”
When Wynter affirmed, Dalton didn’t seem bothered. Instead, he
teased, “To think you’ve even gone to such places. Your business
interests truly span various industries. Have you also paid for the
male escorts then, Dr. Genius?”
Wynter answered truthfully, “It’s something you have to experience at least once. It’s one of the privileges of being a wealthy woman.”
“Oh? You sound quite used to this,” Dalton hummed as he caressed
his scarlet rosary bracelet. Though his face was as handsome as ever, his eyes remained cold.
It seemed that Wynter’s interests never changed. Perhaps, he should praise her for her commitment.
Sensing the awkward tension within the car; Benjamin quickly gave a soft cough.
He shot a glance at Wynter through the rearview mirror, signaling her to show some restraints. After all, it didn’t seem appropriate to
discuss male escorts in front of her fiancé.
Unfortunately, Wynter failed to recognize his cues and posed another
question instead. “Mr. Leigh, you mentioned your daughter is
interested in that nightclub. What makes it so special?”
“Can’t say I understand what the youngsters find appealing. However,
this place does offer a sensation of luxury and extravagance.
“It might look nothing out of the ordinary right now, but when night falls, this street will be lined with branded sports cars,” Benjamin
replied while steering the car toward a different path.
Wynter smirked as she pictured Benjamin’s description. “The owner has a good head for business. It seems they have some powerful backers.”
“Indeed. Even the Wray family has their stake in it,” Benjamin remarked.
Hearing that, Wynter gazed out of the window once more and instructed, “Stop the car. Mr. Yarwood and I are going for a walk.”
Benjamin did as he was told. Once the car pulled over to the roadside, Wynter realized there was more to the crime scene than met the eye.
