The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 1125

"Phil, get ready. We're going to Hawford," Wynter announced decisively.

The man's decision to go to Hawford wasn't made on a whim. There was something there that could help him achieve his spiritual goals.

Though Wynter wasn't yet clear on what exactly that was, her intuition told her she'd regret not going.

Phil didn't immediately agree this time. He was always steady in his affairs and adept at navigating social intricacies without ever giving anyone a handle against him.

After some thought, he responded, "Ms. Quinnell, while I would go without hesitation to any other city, Hawford requires careful consideration."

Wynter quickly grasped his meaning. "Is it because Mom's brothers are there?"

"The Whitman family made their fortune in Hawford and have been prominent there for years.

"When Mrs. Quinnell initially married Mr. Shane, the Whitmans didn't approve. After all these years and all that's happened, even Mrs. Quinnell has hardly ventured there."

Phil was concerned. "Misunderstandings tend to run deep when it's family because they care about each other. This whole situation stemmed from Mr. Shane's mistakes.

"Mr. Quinnell Senior tried several times to mend fences, but every attempt fell flat. After all, the damage had already been done.

"Mrs. Quinnell was Hawford's belle back then. She was sought after for alliances. In the end, she chose Mr. Shane.

"At first, the Whitmans weren't entirely on board because Mrs. Quinnell's father, Mr. Reuben, didn't see Mr. Shane as suitable. He thought Mr. Shane was too superficial and constantly trying too hard to please, which he disliked.

"At that time, Mr. Shane wasn't as impressive as Mrs. Quinnell. There was even a very eligible gentleman pursuing her, but she ultimately chose Mr. Shane."

Wynter was puzzled. "So, did the Whitmans cut ties with her just because my mom married a jerk? There must be more to it."

The jerk's identity was obvious. Wynter didn't mince her words at all.

After all, family alliances could be helpful in business development.

In reality, the Quinnell family was once prominent in Hawford, alongside the Burton family.

In times of turmoil, warlords reigned, leading to various instabilities. However, during that period, the Chamber of Commerce held sway.

Gordon was very influential in local circles and forces from both sides of the law.

During that time in Hawford, there were numerous Frenda Concessions, and there were more foreigners compared to now.

After all, that was then, and things changed over time.

When the Quinnell family moved to Kingbourne, their development trajectory shifted. If they went back now, those longstanding families in Hawford probably wouldn't be very welcoming.
