The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call

Chapter 1641 Everyone Has to Grow Up Someday

Wynter couldn't possibly be unaware of what was going on.

Furthermore, Sebastian was a lawyer who specialized in economic crimes. He knew there was no way Wynter would be in custody this quickly. Yet, with no warning at all, her "guilt" had been publicly declared.

Sebastian was furious. He tore off his tie and declared that there was definitely corruption involved. Albert was also using his connection. Even Fabian rushed down from Kingbourne and had just arrived.

Meanwhile, Reuben had reached out to every contact he could find, even those from his days in the education system.

Marie clenched her fists. "They promised my dad they'd look into it."

"They were just stringing Mr. Reuben along. The higher-ups have already given their orders." Rosalyn continued with a quiet voice, "They want this situation to cause a relapse in Mr. Reuben's health so that Whitman's family will truly be finished."

At that very moment, a low voice came from the doorway. "So, that's what's happening. I was wondering why nothing has changed for Wynter after a whole day."

It was Noah. His eyes were dark, clearly filled with anger. Every single one of those people owed something to the Whitman family. And now, when it counted, they were all lining up to kick the Whitman family down.

Perhaps the saying that the Whitman family was too kind was true, after all.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Rosalyn hadn't expected Noah to appear, especially since she had deliberately chosen this time to visit to avoid attention.

"Mr. Whitman." She immediately stood up from the couch. "I don't want any involvement beyond today--I just felt that I had to do this. But if anything comes of it, please don't let anyone know it was me who spoke."

Noah was truly grateful for Rosalyn's help. There weren't many left who would still come to the Whitman family and warn them at a time like this.

"Thank you," he said, noticing her readiness to leave. He turned and instructed, "Mr. Mccoy, please escort her out, and make sure no one sees."

Rosalyn appreciated his thoughtfulness and courtesy. She had come in haste, and now she was leaving just as quickly.

As they passed, Noah said softly, "The Whitman family will never forget your kindness today. If you ever need help, we will repay it."

But Rosalyn wasn't here to get them to owe her. Her visit stemmed from a genuine wish not to see the decline of entrepreneurs like the Whitmans-a family her father had often praised when he was alive.

Sometimes, she wondered if things would have been different if her father had lived longer. Maybe then she wouldn't be feeling so stifled now.

But everyone had to grow up someday. They couldn't live sheltered forever.

Rosalyn had not achieved much in her life and had even married a man who valued her father's power more than anything else. All she could hope for was that her actions today hadn't brought shame to her father, who had always been proud and dedicated to serving the people.

Upon hearing the news, Noah knew he needed to act quickly. His first thought was to bring Reuben home as soon as possible.

In just one day, the Whitman family had endured countless dismissive looks and rejections, but none more hurtful than what Reuben experienced.

He was a man who had lived his entire life with dignity and integrity, never once lowering himself to flattery. But now, he found himself doing so for Wynter's sake.

But the people who once depended on him had responded through their secretaries with excuses. "Ah, Mr. Whitman, such unfortunate timing. My boss has gone on a business trip. Perhaps you can try again another day." Others were even more blunt. "The Whitman family? Do you mean the one that everyone online is condemning? Sorry, this is beyond us."

Some agreed to help, though that proved to be the cruelest. They offered hope only to crush it later.

When Reuben finally understood what was happening, he seemed to age overnight, his voice heavy as he murmured, "So, this is how it is..."

Just as he was about to make his way home, his phone buzzed with a new voice message. He blinked in disbelief when he saw it was a message from Wynter.
