The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 1666

The scene grew tense as former Whitman family associates now stared at their phones, eyes rimmed red with regret. If they had known about this drastic twist and that the Whitman family had such powerful backing, they would never have voted to oust them.

Meanwhile, every breath sent pain through Edison's battered organs. "You guys… call the police…" With each word, more blood dripped from his lips. "What are all of you doing?"

But the other members were transfixed by their screens, as if they had lost all their senses.

Edison tried to struggle away from Wynter, who gave him a chance to do so, throwing him aside to the floor.

Just then, his secretary scrambled over, desperate. "Mr. Waldron, n-never mind calling the police! Why... Why haven't you checked your phone yet?"

Edison, still reeling from the pain, had barely thought of anything else. He was fixated on seeing Wynter jailed, convinced she was nothing more than an unrefined troublemaker country bumpkin.

Yet, his secretary's distressed expression made his heart sink. Could something serious have happened? His mind clicked into gear, and he instantly switched on his phone.

As Edison struggled to make sense of things, his phone rang, and he instinctively answered it. The voice on the other end belonged to a dealer he had persuaded to break ties with the Whitman family, and his tone was frantic and accusatory.

"You finally picked up! Mr. Waldron, we're just average people trying to do business. We can't handle these high-stakes games!

"Didn't you say the Whitman family was about to go under? You promised us deals with profit margins 50 percent above industry standards if we terminated our contracts with them!

"But now, the entire internet's gone crazy for the Whitmans' products! Not only did they not go bankrupt, but their stock value even doubled several times over! Mr. Waldron, you're cutting off our livelihood! You need to honor your promises!"

His screen lit up with a breaking news alert. The report detailed a long list of charges—abuse of power, extortion of honest businesses, disregard for legal standards, corruption, hurting the common people, and bribery.

Almost every offense listed against Fredric was punishable by death.

But the shock didn't end there. Another notification came up, one that made Edison gasp aloud—the person who had sold them out was Judah from the province.

As he read through the news, Edison collapsed onto the floor. It was over. Everyone involved in this was done for!

"Call the police?" Wynter lifted his gaze slightly as she flicked a coin between her fingers. "No need to trouble yourself, Mr. Waldron. I'm here to personally deliver you a special gift."
