Chapter 1246 A Change in Dalton
At the Wray residence, Kenton was on the brink of a breakdown as his plans faced constant disruptions.
To make matters worse, the Whitman family had suddenly reneged on their agreement. Kenton wondered what Lynette had done to bring about such predicaments.
"I didn't expect the Whitmans to break their promise. They gave me their word! That old man is going to end up dying for his troubles!" Lynette argued aggrievedly.
"How are we supposed to manipulate the Whitman brothers if Reuben dies? Use your brains for once!
"And you better clean up the mess at the club. You're doomed if we get dragged into your scandals," Kenton warned angrily over the phone.
Hearing that, Lynette was visibly displeased. "You have some nerve lecturing me like that. You wouldn't have gotten this far if it weren't for my club. Besides, have you forgotten who sowed the seed of vanity into those girls? It was me!"
"Okay, you win. Keep contacting Marie and dig into the Quinnells' situation," Kenton groaned.
He couldn't shake the feeling that he had overlooked something, especially upon discovering his men had lost track of Wynter.
However, Kenton heard that Albert had acquired some stocks and met with several venture capitalists in Hawford.
In the past, Kenton would've been wary of such news. But with Yvette at the helm, he did not need to worry about his investments.
After all, Albert was no match for the prophetic Yvette. Still, Kenton couldn't help but wonder about Wynter's whereabouts.
Believing Kenton was fretting unnecessarily, Lynette gave a dismissive scoff. "How much can a young lady accomplish? Besides, the bodyguards mentioned losing track of her while she was shopping in Riogeb.
"She's probably dazzled by Hawford's splendor and plans to bring home some luxuries. After all, she's just returned from the countryside." "You're underestimating her. She must possess remarkable skills since she took over the Quinnell family.
"Though my friends in Kingborne can't quite identify her capabilities, they've all warned me against starting a conflict with her. They called her a jinx. "So, you better be more cautious and make sure no one finds any dirt on you," Kenton warned with narrowed eyes.
Lynette scoffed disdainfully, "Right back at you. With such a major incident at Club Solstice, it would be disastrous if your friends were discovered. One arrest could unravel the entire criminal network!"
Kenton had always been annoyed with Lynette's biting remarks. If she weren't his blood sister and hadn't been helping him with falsifying the accounts, he would've kicked her out of the house.
That said, Kenton agreed to stay vigilant on the Club Solstice case. After all, Vanessa's parents didn't strike him as the type to hold secrets. "Have we cut off all connections with the insurance company?" Kenton questioned as he strode forward.
"Rest assured, Mr. Wray. They won't trace anything back to the Wray family," Adrien replied confidently.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Indeed, the Wray family was clear of suspicions.
But, unbeknownst to them, Wynter was looking into the patrons on the day of Vanessa's death. Thanks to Wolf's expertise, she had compiled a full list of suspects.
As certain evidence required time to process, Wynter decided to visit the Whitmans. After giving the necessary instructions, she hopped into an inconspicuous SUV.
The SUV was different from the one the Wray family was trailing, which explained why they lost sight of Wynter. Never in their dreams did they expect Wynter would gain access to the sealed crime scene.
When Wynter settled into the car, she met Dalton's gaze. For some reason, she felt that his eye color seemed to have changed.
