The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 1534

Fredric's words completely put Edison at ease. If Fredric was taking action, it could only mean that "that man" was already displeased with what Wynter had been doing.

Others might have only made vague threats. However, Edison knew better than anyone else about Fredric's capabilities.

No one could detect anything unusual from Fredric's plans. Years ago, it was also he who had covered up the situation regarding Marie.

The lie had been so full of holes, yet Fredric managed to smooth it over in front of Noah and Taylor. That alone was enough to demonstrate his skill.

And he had only become more formidable now as the third-ranking official in Hawford, with the backing of provincial leadership. His current power was beyond mere businessmen's imagination.

For the Waldron family, this marked a turning point. Edison had just been regretting offending Wynter. But now, he hoped more than anyone that this outsider—who had disrupted the Chamber of Commerce—would face a heavy downfall!

If she didn't, Hawford would soon be entirely under the Whitman family's control.

Fredric would always remember that period because he truly had nothing at that time.

"I understand." After a long pause, Fredric finally spoke again. His tone was chilling. "You should also be aware that I don't like discussing matters from the past. Consider this a one-time warning, Mr. Waldron.

"I will ensure that Wynter leaves Hawford within two weeks at most. The city needs development, and her disruptions in the stock market are detrimental to the public's morale."

Edison immediately sensed Fredric's displeasure. The warning was unmistakable. Edison couldn't help the cold sweat breaking out on the back of his neck.

Fredric was too astute. Edison only needed to mention the past once for him to realize his motives. This was why those in high positions were often so inscrutable.

As Edison felt the chill wash over him, Fredric added, "And regarding the scholarship committee…"
