Chapter 1491 Sensing the Abnormality
The stock market? The receptionist's eyes widened as the realization hit her.
Everyone knew the company was in shambles because Kenton had lost a fortune in the stock market. But no one knew there was a reason behind it. Could it really have something to do with Wynter?All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
The receptionist hesitated. "But you don't have an appointment, so..."
"Here's my business card." Wynter slid a card to the receptionist with a flick of her fingers.
The receptionist looked up in disbelief when she saw the name on the business card. Her hand trembled as she reached for the phone and dialed for the CEO's office.
Kenton was currently in a fit of rage. He was yelling furiously at Yvette, and the room was in a chaotic mess, with shattered objects strewn across the floor.
"Didn't you say it was just a matter of time? How much more time do you need?" Kenton screamed at Yvette. Kenon's fury was palpable, as if he was ready to tear Yvette apart.
Adrien looked utterly exhausted as he had been juggling far too many responsibilities. Several managers had already quit, and every phone call was from someone demanding payment.
The last thing he wanted to hear was the phone ringing again. Yet, the receptionist just had to call.
"I've told you a dozen times! Tell them that Mr. Wray is too busy to take any calls!"
The receptionist whispered over the phone, 'Mr. Meyer, it's the lady from the Quinnell family. She said Mr. Wray would want to see her."
Adrien's expression changed the moment he heard the name "Quinnell. He couldn't fathom what reason Wynter would have to show up here.
This was far beyond something he could decide on. Entering Kenton's chaotic office, he whispered into Kenton's ears.
Kenton's eyes turned even more malicious. 'Did she come alone?"
After Adrien nodded, Kenton sneered coldly. "She's got a death wish, coming to see me at a time like this. Bring her up."
"Understood." Adrien left to carry out the order.
Within minutes, Wynter was riding the elevator up to Kenton's office
The receptionist watched from behind. No one had expected the infamous Ms. Quinnell to be so young.
In the office, Yvette shrank back when she heard Wynter was coming. She was a far cry from the confident young woman who had first arrived in Hawford. Her hair was disheveled, and she had no choice but to endure the throbbing pain.
If she weren't here, Kenton would hand her over to the Chamber of Commerce members who had listened to her advice and invested in stocks. Just thinking about her fate sent shivers down her spine.
But what truly gnawed at her was the thought of Wynter seeing her in such a state! How could she possibly accept that? She was the one who had been reborn, grasping the future in her hands! How dare Wynter repeatedly sabotage her plans?
Desperate to regain some control before Wynter arrived, Yvette tried to sway Kenton once more. 'Mr. Wray, although you may not trust me as much as before, you must be cautious of Wynter. She's not coming here with good intentions."
Kenton shot her a glance. "You and your sister truly can't stand each other, can you? At first, I suspected Wynter had orchestrated your presence here to set me up. If I hadn't investigated you, I wouldn't have realized how deeply you hated her."
He then tightened his fists. "You gave me the impression that you two were evenly matched. If you were able
to harm her back in Riverburg, why can't you do the same in Hawford?"
"I..." Yvette had no idea what he was thinking anymore.
Kenton, a man who had once thrived in the business world, now seemed like he was on the brink of attacking her. This made fear wash over her. 'I don't know why, either. She just suddenly changed."
