Chapter 1535 Lost Their Final Chance
"The Wray family is done for, and there's no hope left for the Montclair family, either." Fredric was the type of person who would give with one hand and take with the other. "From now on, the scholarship committee will be handled by the Waldron family."
Edison could no longer control his expression as he heard Fredric's words. A greedy smile crept across his face, twisting his features. "You can count on me. I'll make sure everything with the scholarship committee is handled perfectly!"
Fredric's tone remained flat. "It's not that I doubt your abilities, Mr. Waldron. I just want to make sure that incidents like the suicide case in Club Solstice don't happen again.
"Even though her parents signed an agreement and didn't press charges, the higher-ups haven't overlooked it.
"You know how important the scholarship committee is to Mr. Randell. After all, you've worked with Kenton on a few deliveries.
"Mr. Randell's health is deteriorating, so you need to act fast and pick out some fresh faces. As for Wynter, leave her to me."
Hearing this assurance, Edison's eyes lit up with excitement. "Rest assured, Mr. Monty, I've already got some candidates in mind for the committee.
"Whatever Kenton did well, I'll do better. Whatever he couldn't handle, I'll take over. As long as Wynter doesn't bother the Waldron family, we'll soon be able to send him some new faces.'
Satisfied with the answer, Fredric ended the call.
Edison went downstairs, brimming with excitement. Seeing Rosalyn dressed up and ready to leave, he spoke up immediately, 'There's no need to go to the Whitman residence anymore."
"No need?" Rosalyn frowned. "Edison, didn't you just agree to let me go and talk things out?"
Edison's eyes sparkled with barely concealed excitement. "That was then. There's no need for that now. Just go about your usual business. You don't have to worry about the Whitman family anymore."
"Edison, all that's happened recently is right in front of us. I can't just pretend I haven't seen anything. The Wray family is gone immediately after opposing the Whitman family.
"The Montclair family also tried to frame the Whitmans, and now they're all in prison. There's not even a word about them anymore."
Rosalyn, having grown up in an influential household, felt a deep sense of unease about the situation.
"I've been trying to find out about the Montclair family, whether it's Mrs. Montclair Senior or Ophelia, to see what punishment they're facing, but no one has given me any answers. All the replies say they have no idea." Rosalyn looked up at Edison. "Edison, trust me. Something isn't right. We should stick to what we discussed earlier. I'll go and make peace with Marie."
"I told you, there's no need.' Edison scoffed coldly. "I know you come from a high-ranking family and think I'm too insensitive to these things. You probably think this is a good chance to make me cut ties with my mistresses.'
He lit a cigarette as he continued, "Sometimes, you should look in the mirror and look at yourself. Do you know your age? Do you really think I will still have an interest in that body of yours?Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
"Rest assured, you'll always be Mrs. Waldron. You don't need to worry about that. But stop thinking you can control me beyond that.
"I had to listen to you all the time when your father was still alive. I've always played the underdog in your family. Now, after all this time, do you still expect me to play that role?"
Grabbing his coat from the couch, Edison added one final remark, "For the last time, you don't need to do anything. Just fulfill your role as Mrs. Waldron.
"As for that girl from the Quinnell family, you have even less reason to worry. There's no way she can touch me. Because very soon, she's going to meet her end."
Rosalyn watched Edison's retreating figure, her heart feeling as though a thousand needles were piercing it.
