Chapter 1412 Time to Face Reality

“Why?” Cyrus raised his voice and simply couldn’t understand. He felt like his head was going to explode, and his heart was in agony.

After all, from what he remembered, Tamia would indulge in whatever he wanted.

When he found physics too difficult, Tamia was worried that studying would overstrain him. She contacted a prestigious overseas school and spent dozens just to make things easier for him without any hesitation.

Tamia’s and Reuben’s approaches to education were completely different.

Cyrus had always thought that the person who understood him the most and gave him the most freedom was Tamia. No matter what he did, she would always think he was wonderful. That was what gave him confidence throughout his life.

Wynter glanced at him. She was aware of the many issues ahead and that it was time for Cyrus to face reality. “It’s because you’re the Whitman family’s eldest grandson, and I am standing in your way.”

“What do you mean by standing in my way?” Cyrus thought it was completely ridiculous. “We’ve only known each other for a few days!”

Their first meeting was at Quaint Villa, where Wynter was beating Easton up.

Wynter was cold. “How long we’ve known each other doesn’t matter. Everyone is praising me when it comes to the Blaise family.”

“That’s only natural. You should be praised. Mr. Blaise was so worried about the factory, and you stepped in and made a huge difference. The livestream is still pulling in over 100 thousand viewers every day, which is impressive! Who else should be praised if not you?”

Seeing Cyrus‘ excitement, Wynter knew he wasn’t inherently bad. Her tone softened and wasn’t as cold as earlier as she continued, “That logic makes sense, but Mrs. Montclair Senior sees me as a threat to you,

“She believes that people should remember you after the livestream, ‘Mr. Whitman.“”

Cyrus finally understood. Yet, this understanding made him even more troubled. “But even if I don’t have much money and she uses some schemes to prevent me from investing, there’s still the Whitman family!”

Wynter replied calmly, “Your mother is the Whitman family’s daughter–in–law. Whether the Whitman family invests depends on how your mother feels about it. And, of course, it also depends on what Uncle Noah thinks.”

Cyrus completely froze at Wynter’s words.

Wynter didn’t say any further. Her initial goal was to help him recognize the Montclair family sooner. It was the right time for him to finally realize it.

Ophelia’s case was more tricky, but giving him a heads–up now would better prepare him for what was to

come.

Just as they were speaking, a few village women approached them.

“Are you the investors coming to take the land?”

“We’ve had several investors come here before. They were all trying to take advantage of us. Thankfully, our village chief was fair, and we didn’t get deceived!”

“You’re not like them, are you? Our requests are simple!”

Time to Face Reality

Wynter listened without getting emotionally involved. She knew that these people might have used similar tactics in the past to lure in investors and proceed to leave them with nothing.

“Don’t worry, ladies. We are legitimate investors. We are not like those you’ve encountered before. We’ll negotiate with the government and draft a contract. You can sign it once you’re satisfied.

“Money isn’t the issue. Our goal is to help you improve your environment so your children can grow up healthy and happy!” Wynter feigned excitement.

Wynter thought to herself that they couldn’t possibly run the same routine with every investor that came. The children they encountered earlier had hinted to them that money wasn’t the issue. What was problematic was that there was no money to give them! However, Wynter still spoke reassuringly to them. Immediately, the women looked at each other with what seemed like tearful gratitude in their eyes. However, in reality, it was just the eye drops they had used to create this moment of “gratitude“.
