The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 1317

Chapter 1317 The Beginning of a Sweet Revenge 

Lucius was undoubtedly devoted to Marie. It was hard to understand how he had led such a reckless life In his youth. 

Marie’s past misunderstandings were understandable. After all, with his playboy image, it was difficult to believe he could be so deeply committed and faithful. 

Wynter recalled some of the tactics Shane had employed in the past, especially the ones that were vividly clear in her dreams. 

She hadn’t paid much attention to them before. However, as Wynter reflected on them now, she couldn’t shake the feeling that there was a scheme behind why Marie ended up with Shane. 

However, if Marie hadn’t married into the Quinnell family, Wynter wouldn’t have existed. If all of this was truly a regret from Marie’s youth, Wynter hoped to use this opportunity to uncover the full truth. 

Though it seemed like the conversation had lasted for a while, it had actually only been three minutes. 

At that moment, the bodyguards in black stepped aside, and Lucius remarked, “Business competitions here aren’t child’s play. The Darnell family isn’t interested in deals that result in a loss.” 

With that, Lucius returned to the crowd. 

Reuben, who was watching from afar, furrowed his brows in concern. 

Kenton finally broke into his first smile of the evening, more pleased than ever. This was more like it. There was no way Lucius would side with the Quinnell and Whitman families, who were so opposed to foreign investments. 

Even if Lucius were willing, the Darnell family wouldn’t be. Their business principles were entirely different Kenton realized he had been unnecessarily worried earlier. The previous chaos must have clouded his judgment. Everything seemed back to normal now. 

Kenton stepped forward with a laugh as he attempted to console Wynter, “Don’t be too upset, Wynter. Mr. Lucius has always had high standards for his partners, so it’s not just you. Even your uncles haven’t been able to secure a deal with them.” 

It was clearly an attempt to belittle the Whitmans. 

Wynter’s eyes bore into him, a deep, unsettling glint of mischief in her gaze. For reasons he couldn’t quite grasp, a chill ran down Kenton’s spine as she looked at him. 

Without another word, Wynter brushed past him and headed toward Reuben. Her lowered gaze concealed the smirk tugging at her lips. 

The Wrays were arrogant, weren’t they? Wynter was determined to make sure they were wiped out without a single trace of their former pride. 

Reuben was about to rise and welcome Wynter back to her seat. 

However, before he could get up, someone stopped Wynter, their tone incredibly friendly and sincere.” Ms. Quinnell, let’s collaborate.” 

Upon hearing this, Wynter’s gaze shifted toward them. “You want to collaborate with me?” 

“Yes. Some of us were once supported by the Whitman family, and some have benefited from the late Mr. Quinnell Senior’s influence. If you don’t mind, we’d like to collaborate.” 

Another person said, “It’s just that our vision might be a bit narrow since we focus on manufacturing

industries right now. We are interested in your opinion, Ms. Quinnell.” 

2/2 

Wynter observed the group with a gaze that was both thoughtful and inscrutable. “Let’s work together, then. The market does indeed need manufacturing industries. Besides that, I’ll select another project, and we can join forces on that as well.” 

“Great! As long as you’re not worried about us holding you back.” 

“Dealing with the Wray family definitely requires more people.” 

Wynter listened to their offers and collected their contact details. Their standing in a row meant they 

were a team. 

As previously mentioned, the competition was based on total assets. If a partner lost money, it would impact the total profit. Hence, choosing the right collaborators was crucial. 

Taylor couldn’t understand why Wynter would choose her partners so casually. It was in stark contrast to Yvette on the other side, who clearly followed a well–defined strategy.
