Chapter 1189 The Wray Family’s Conspiracy

Ultimately, the socialites could also be doing it for fun.

However, at this moment, Desmond felt overwhelmed by Wynter’s

presence.

Her face was still as beautiful as ever, but her eyes were cold. The tear mole at the corner of her eyes gleamed with a chilling light when she looked at someone. It was as if she could see through everyone’s thoughts in an instant.

Desmond genuinely felt fear from the depths of his heart. It was the first time he had ever felt this way.

Even Yvette, who had been the talk of the town in Hawford for the past two days with her fortune–telling abilities, hadn’t made him feel this way.

He suddenly recalled a rumor from Kingbourne he had heard

previously. It was regarding the recent nationwide sensation of the Welcoming the Heroic Spirit Home” case.

The rumor suggested that the person who had uncovered the

suspicious activities at the chapel was not some special task force. but Wynter.

Due to Wynter’s discreet and sudden action, the locals and those. associated with the chapel didn’t have time to react and were all imprisoned.

Otherwise, it would have been difficult to uncover the heroic spirits suppression, given the complex relationships involved.

No one had believed such rumors. It would have been more credible if

Wynter had provided evidence or stumbled upon something and

reported it.

But saying she single–handedly took down an entire chapel sounded.

absurd. Not even Fabian could have accomplished that.

It had to be something orchestrated from the top. How was it

possible for Wynter to single–handedly achieve that?

But now, Desmond was reconsidering his previous stance. Could the rumors actually be true?

“So…” Wynter spoke and interrupted his thoughts. She tapped her

cheek rhythmically with her fingers. “The Wray family has now tied their interests with the Clinton family.

“Then they certainly wouldn’t welcome the Quinnells back. After all, my great–great–grandpa founded the Southern Cascadia Chamber of

Commerce.”

She asked bluntly, “What tricks has the

Desmond hadn’t expected such bluntness from Wynter. It made him.

hesitate. “Alliances are common in business. The Wray family isn’t

supported solely by the Clinton family.”

He quickly continued as he feared Dalton’s displeasure, “The Wray family has maintained close ties with the Whitman family for years. Mrs. Quinnell and Lynette Wray from the Wray family are still best

friends.

“The Wray family’s proposal is to act as mediators between the

mens and Whitmans to resolve old misunderstandings.”

Wynter chuckled. “The price for this mediation is that the Quinnell family would no longer have a say in the Chamber of Commerce.”

Desmond’s eyes widened in disbelief. “How did you know?”

“It’s obvious. The Wray family wants to dominate the Chamber of Commerce. As long as the Quinnell family has a say, the Wrays can never be legitimate.”

Wynter’s gaze was dark. “It was all fine before I returned. My return disrupted some of their plans.”

Desmond didn’t hold back any information. “Indeed. After all, there are still many people in the Chamber of Commerce who once followed Mr. Quinnell Senior.

“His goal was to use wealth to save the nation in times of crises when he first established the Chamber. Although I haven’t reached that level of dedication myself, I’ve heard a lot about Mr. Quinnell Senior.

“Back then, we were short on money. How could we become strong and victorious when our citizens were starving and unable to eat or dress warmly2”
