CHAPTER 1283

Chapter 1283 Unrequited Love

To describe Lucius simply, he was just someone who appeared to be a playboy. But in reality, he might have saved his first kiss for Marie.

Wynter glanced at her phone record again as she thought about this. The more she looked, the more it seemed true. His many girlfriends were quite proactive but never got too close. He was surrounded by women but often drank and smoked alone on the side.

Even though the photos were old, Wynter had an epiphany. After all, Lucius almost entrusted his entire family to Marie and was even worried that she would find him dirty. How interesting.

Wynter stroked her chin thoughtfully.

Marie felt that there was a bit of a generation gap with Wynter. She didn’t quite understand Wynter’s sly smile.

“Mom, don’t tell him our conversation yet.” Wynter’s lips curled into a thin smile. “I will meet Mr. Lucius tomorrow at the Chamber of

Commerce.”

“Alright,” Marie readily agreed, acting like a doting mother. She agreed to everything Wynter said.

“By the way, Mom.” Wynter suddenly realized something. “Is Mr. Lucius younger than you?”

Marie nodded while carefully adjusting the strap of the black bag Wynter was carrying. “It was your grandfather who arranged for his schooling back then, even changing his age to be about three years younger than me.

Marie turned back after speaking. “Why are you so interested in his affairs?”

“He’s a business partner now, so I want to know more about him,”

Wynter replied seriously. “I’ll have other collaborations with him in the

future.”

Marie was aware that the Quinnell family had been facing

suppression overseas recently. It was true that they needed to walk out of it one day. Understanding that Wynter intended to collaborate further with Lucius, she shared everything she knew.

Wynter’s smile deepened as she looked at Marie’s surreally beautiful face. “Mom.”

“Hmm?” Marie paused. “What is it?”

Wynter gave her a thumbs–up. “You’re really good at business.”

Marie, who had been amused by Wynter several times today, prepared Wynter’s clothes for her to take a bath.

Wynter indeed needed a bath to relax and reset her pace. The Wrays‘ move had surprised her, but she was prepared for such encounters

Marie’s timely information allowed her to preempt the Wray family and cut off their path. As for Lucius…

Wynter typed on her phone with one hand as she soaked in the bathtub. “The Darnell family practices polygamy, right? Have you interacted with them?”

Very quickly, a voice message came through. As soon as Wynter pressed onto it, a deep, magnetic voice with a hint of a cough came through. It sounded especially alluring in the quiet of the night.

“You seem overly concerned about this head of the Darnells,” Dalton replied.

Dalton, with his pale fingers, was flipping through a black leather- bound book with yellowed pages, like a grim reaper’s ledger. It exuded an indescribable eerie feeling. The two men standing beside him were trembling, unable to move.

Wynter couldn’t see this scene. From just the voice alone, it would seem like he had already gone to bed.

Dalton even let out a low chuckle. “What are you planning?”

“I want your analysis.” Wynter didn’t have many friends. Hence, she sought his perspective.

To Wynter, her handsome fiancé was well–read and knowledgeable. He was perfectly suited for discussing unrequited love late in the

night.

Hence, Wynter began with, “So, I have a friend.”
