The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 1620

Edison's expression instantly turned sour. After all, Taylor was speaking the truth.

Both Fredric and Judah had initially planned to bring the Whitman family into their fold, particularly hoping to win Noah over by leveraging the Montclairs as a breakthrough. However, Tamia failed to convince him.

Tamia often boasted that Noah listened to Ophelia and believed they could manipulate him. However, they had failed to settle the divorce case and ended up in prison, which only deepened Judah's admiration for Noah.

Fredric noted that Judah once remarked how much simpler things would be if Noah had worked for him.

Such feelings of inferiority fueled Edison's spite. "I don't think you understand your situation, Mr. Whitman. Mr. Whitman Senior has been going around pleading for help, but that only proves futile.

"You and your family are too arrogant to see who you've offended, especially that niece of yours. She never should have investigated the school, and now she'll be stuck behind bars. What do you think will become of the Whitman family?"

"That's enough, Edison!" Stetson walked over and shot Edison a warning glare.

If Edison rambled further, he might reveal certain truths. Stetson decided to have a word with him.

Upon meeting Stetson's glare, Edison was so shaken that cold sweat broke out on his back.

"You're one of the decision-makers now, Edison. Show a little compassion. The Whitman family is temporarily affected and will return once the commotion dies down.

"I've seen the vote count, so the Whitman family will respect the final outcome. What the future holds will be addressed at a later time."

Stetson was pleased with Noah's attitude. "You're as sensible as ever, Noah. Take this chance and get some rest. Also, inform Reuben about the situation here. I'm sorry about Wynter. There's not much I can do.

"I suggest you educate her properly. Don't spoil her just because she's the youngest. If her elders neglect her, she'll face serious consequences from the world. Besides, what she did was a felony."

"I'll keep your advice in mind, Mr. Leftnan." Noah gave an ambiguous reply, though others failed to decipher his true meaning.

The security guards didn't even bother to show the Whitman brothers respect. They stormed into the room and ordered disdainfully, "In that case, I ask that both of you leave. Outsiders are not allowed during the meeting."
