Chapter 1024 Make a Fool of Herself

But having gone through an Earthbound Formation, Wynter had connected the formation and the present world. Moreover, it all pointed back to Gordon.

Wynter needed to stay calm.

The medium inside the formation was too enigmatic. Wynter had never seen him, but he was clearly

worshiped in the present world. Who exactly was he?

She had discussed this with the cultivator inside the formation.

Logically speaking, the medium couldn’t still be alive. Even if he were, he wouldn’t be able to walk.

No one around them fit this description. But Wynter’s experiences told her that this person was not far

from her.

She was leaning toward the idea that he had used some sort of secret technique, like soul–switching.

The thought made her eyes darken. She glanced at her phone, recalling Dalton’s past–life presence in the

Hawford formation.

Wynter felt there was some connection here, but a missing piece prevented her from seeing the whole

picture.

“What are you thinking about?” A deep, pleasant voice from her phone brought her back to reality.

Wynter looked down. “I’m wondering how Declan managed it all.”

Declan kept so many secrets and hid them so well. And what was with that badge? Abel had investigated, but Declan was too meticulous, so the information gathered was too fragmented.

“He has many connections. If it weren’t for Mr. Quinnell Senior, with Declan’s methods, Shane wouldn’t even have a place as a puppet in the Quinnell family,” Dalton said casually.

Wynter heard the implication in his words. “Besides the Quinnell family’s shareholders, does he have

other hidden connections?”

“Since ancient times, the nobility believed in fortune–telling.” Dalton chuckled lightly. “If Shane is just

infatuated, then Declan truly has ties with various Arcane Way sects.”

Just then, Dalton dropped a bombshell. “He studied Arcane Way but didn’t fully grasp it. Strictly speaking, he was a lay apprentice of Mt. Dragon, so it was easy for him to make connections.”

Wynter raised an eyebrow. “He has connections with Mt. Dragon?”

How did she miss that?

“It’s quite a secret.” Dalton’s eyes twinkled with a smile. “Declan is clever, setting up sophisticated gatherings attended by influential people. Everyone wants a peace of mind.

“After all, no one would admit to being superstitious, especially those who have been in high positions for

a long time. They’re sure to grant him favors.”

Wynter squinted. It seemed like a long process, but there was no rush. She would take her time. She wouldn’t miss any of them.

Dalton could tell from her expression that she already had a plan.

At the same time, when the shareholders and aristocrats saw Fabian’s fiery rant on social media, they each had their own thoughts.

“Is he really going to break ties with his granddaughter?”

“They won’t actually break ties, but Wynter has indeed been reckless.”

“I’ve always said this. What could someone from a small place actually know? She’s just lucky.”

“Now it seems her luck has run out. Mr. Quinnell Senior is furious. I think this was all part of his plan to get Wynter to behave, but who knew she would be so reckless after gaining benefits?”

“I heard they’re going to the villa tomorrow. Shall we go and see?”

“Of course. It’s bound to be entertaining.”

They had really been overshadowed by Wynter lately. Now, finally, they could see her in a bit of trouble.

Throughout the Kingbourne business circle, despite the appearance of harmony, everyone secretly hoped for Wynter to make a fool of herself. They all had their own schemes.
