Chapter 1428 The Threat Against Wynter

Wynter’s predicament provided the Montclairs a perfect excuse to visit the Whitman family. Unexpectedly, Tamia herself came to speak with Noah.

Tamia started with a sigh. “I don’t have anything against Wynter, but there are risks engaging in stock investments. While five million dollars isn’t a huge amount, what’s more important is how other capitalists perceive us.

“Both the Whitman and Montclair families are long–standing enterprises in Hawford. If Cyrus continues to fool around with Wyner, it could raise doubts about his capabilities and jeopardize his future fund acquisition.

“I understand that families ought to help each other out, but Cyrus‘ position is different. He has much more to consider since he will be inheriting the Monclairs‘ family business. Given this, Cyrus will cease all involvement with Wynter and focus on his own ventures.”

Tamia’s points were both reasonable and solid. As she spoke, Noah listened in silence. Though his expression remained stoic, his knuckles had turned white from gripping his cup tightly.

Just then, Ophelia placed her hand on his shoulder and

advised, “I know you’re worried about Marie and Sevie, but you need to think about our family, too. At the very least, we must ensure Cyrus has a way to back out.

“You know how treacherous Valen Village can be. If he gets

caught in this mess, he won’t be able to get away without coughing up several hundred million.

“Sevie has always been headstrong, and no one can reason with her. Besides, she has nothing to worry about.

“She can always return to Kingbourne if things don’t work out, but our businesses are rooted in Hawford. Do you remember how Shane dealt with something similar in the past?”

The mention of Shane hit a sensitive spot for Noah. He immediately looked up at Ophelia and heaved a sigh. “Alright, we’ll do as you say. We’ll call Cyrus back and halt his

investment with Sevie.”

His last statement sounded reluctant, as if he had struggled internally to voice it.

Tamia felt a deep sense of relief upon hearing Noah’s affirmation. With her goal achieved, she now focused on fostering a harmonious family ambiance.

Tamia wasn’t only adept at handling internal family matters but was also rarely troubled by business losses. A resilient widow from the bygone days, she wasn’t one to be

underestimated. She was a skilled manipulator and sought to seize control of everything.

Even though the Montclairs‘ heir remained undecided, Tamia was determined to secure Cyrus‘ connection to the Whitman family. She wouldn’t hesitate to eliminate any hindrances that stood in her way.

At that point, Wynter’s reputation had taken such a hit that people started to forget that she had revived the Blaises‘

business in just one day.

When some of the Whitmans‘ allies started wavering, Orson reached out to Wynter with concern. “Ms. Quinnell, you’ll

always receive half of the profit from the applesauce factory.

“However, the business is just beginning to recover, and we can’t afford any more setbacks. If you’re facing financial difficulties, I have some funds in my personal account…”

Before Orson could finish, Wynter interjected, “You’re doing the right thing, Mr. Blaise. No matter what happens, it’s crucial to maintain a healthy cash flow for your factories. No need to worry about me.”

Still, Orson remained anxious. “You saved the Blaise family from ruin, Ms. Quinnell, I can pull together one million dollars on my end. I know it’s not a lot, but that project of yours is

costly. Why not stop now? There’s still a way out!”
