Chapter 1146 The Talk of the Town

Analia swiftly took out her phone, hoping to reconnect with her friends.

Upon joining the group chat, she attempted to strike an engaging conversation but found everyone focused on building a connection with Wynter. Bewildered, Analia made a call to a friend.

“What’s going on? Is there a need to sing Wynter’s praises? They didn’t seem so enthusiastic when Cassie returned from Traoland,” Analia grumbled.

Hearing the jealousy in her tone, her friend hurriedly interjected, “I don’t mind your complaints, but please refrain from saying such things in the group chat.”

Embarrassed the rebuke, Analia argued, “I just don’t understand. What in the world has

happened?”

“I understand where you’re coming from, Mrs. Hoffman. We’ve been friends for so long,

after all.

“But there’s something you must know–Ms. Wynter Quinnell is kind and capable. She understands the pain and struggles all housewives face.

“Don’t feel jealous of her stealing Cassie’s limelight. Set aside your hostility and

discrimination against her. It’s a fact that she brought the sinking Quinnell family back to life,” the friend insisted firmly before ending the call.

Analia stared blankly at the messages flashing on her phone, completely oblivious to her

daughter’s calling.

Upon hearing her daughter’s vow to teach Wynter a lesson, Analia snapped back to reality

and turned around.

“Your father’s right, Cassie,” she stated sternly.

Cassandra Hoffman could hardly believe her ears. As far as she knew, her mother had always supported her claims.

Besides, Wynter had always been an eyesore. Ever since her arrival, she had been the talk of the town. On top of that, she set Naomi up and sent her away.

As Naomi’s close friends, Cassandra and the other socialites promised to stand up for her.

Stroking Cassandra’s hair, Analia gently advised, “I know what you’re thinking, Cassie.

“I know you’re close to Naomi, but have you ever thought about the true nature of your friendship? She knew you had feelings for Chad, yet she didn’t turn down his advances.”

“But everyone knows who Naomi really likes. Her heart has always belonged to Mr. Yarwood. Even so, Chad never stops chasing after her,” Cassandra refuted.

With a sigh, Analia shook her head and decided to pay the Quinnells a visit. She would rather have Cassandra confront the formidable Wynter than worry about the devious Naomi.

On top of that, Analia was alarmed by the flooding messages in the group chat. She feared the possibility of being ostracized from the social circle if she failed to establish a connection with the Quinnells.

In truth, Wynter was deeply aware that her visits had a profound impact on the aristocratic families. She had purposely done so to warn them against antagonizing the Quinnell family.

Naomi heard about Wynter’s growing influence in prison, where she continued plotting her

escape.

She knew that someone would get her out of prison eventually. After all, her backers weren’t one to be deterred by the Quinnells.

However, she was disgruntled when none of the aristocratic families succeeded in suppressing Wynter. To make matters worse, she had lost contact with all her connections within the families.

Naomi knew that she couldn’t solely rely on emotional manipulation, but things had seriously gone awry. She couldn’t afford to stay in prison and wait any longer! At that moment, Naomi lifted her eyes and cast a gloomy glance to the side.
