Chapter 1339 Dealing With Outsiders

Realizing this, those who had previously thought about informing the Wray family of the situation after Teaving now abandoned that idea.

Easton, in particular, fell to his knees. He hoped that the Whitmans would spare him.

Wynter got straight to the point. “Tell me everything you’ve done regarding my mother.”

At this point, Easton no longer dared to hide anything. He revealed how the Wray family found him and how he used the fact that he was Ophelia’s distant relative to subtly deepen the misunderstanding.

He also mentioned how he advised Ophelia to stay calm and consider the family situation when she tried to speak up for Marie. If Reuben became unhappy, the one who would suffer would be their side of the family.

Especially since Cyrus Whitman, Noah and Ophelia’s son, was already not highly regarded by Reuben. If this issue created more distance, it would be counterproductive.

Noah’s chest heaved with anger as he heard this. He turned around, ready to return home to confront Ophelia.

“Come back.” Reuben’s voice was firm. His hand gripping the cane was slightly stiff.

Noah’s voice was hoarse. “Dad, it’s all my fault. I didn’t fulfill my role as the head of the family properly.”

“It has nothing to do with you.” Reuben’s gaze was fixed on Easton, his eyes cold. “I have truly underestimated all of you.”

It was true that he didn’t particularly favor Cyrus, but he had never been dismissive of him.

The Whitmans‘ enterprise was large and prosperous. Reuben should have anticipated that such problems would arise sooner or later.

It was because of various people’s mixed motives that Marie couldn’t return home. But ultimately, it all came back to him. People were speculating about his intentions. As long as the Whitman family hadn’t chosen an heir, these issues would persist.

He knew Noah and Taylor lacked the ambition for the position, and the two brothers had always been united. But others would always come to their own conclusions.

The sight of Reuben in such a state was one that Wynter couldn’t bear. But if these issues weren’t brought to light, they would always remain a hidden danger for the Whitmans. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Kenton had planted traps not only with Taylor but also with Noah. He was so familiar with the Whitmans that he knew he would benefit no matter which side fell apart.

Wynter had Easton confess because, given her position, she couldn’t directly confront these issues. With Noah, Ophelia, and Cyrus involved, she couldn’t take action herself without risking creating animosity.

Kenton was well aware of where the difficulties lay, which was why he enlisted Ophelia’s relative to handle these issues. It was clear that Cyrus was the key in this scheme.

Wynter was also uncertain how Noah would handle the situation.

Noah seemed to sense Wynter’s gaze, and he lifted his gaze slightly. “No, Dad. I’m definitely responsible. It’s my fault for not properly educating Cyrus. Wynter, don’t worry. I will take care of this fiasco.

Noah’s demeanor terrified Easton. As a distant relative, he finally understood how he had come to enjoy his current good fortune.

The Wray family sought him out precisely because of his connections. If Noah were to divorce Ophelia, he would be nothing.

Easton clung to Noah’s legs as he continually begged for mercy.

Wynter looked at Reuben. She knew full well that the Whitmans couldn’t afford any more disturbances at this time. However, she couldn’t fully trust Ophelia and Cyrus.

“Uncle Noah, I still need an extra helper for the upcoming practical test and to assist Mr. Blaise. Could you bring my cousin over for me?” Wynter asked.
