The Heiress’ Return Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 306

Chapter 306 Thick-skinned

Nelson’s expression darkened gradually with Wynter’s every word.

She might as well have mentioned the Shepherds by name if she was going to be that obvious with her retort.

Anyone who heard her immediately understood what Wynter was

implying. The contemptuous looks they cast Nelson cut him open like

daggers.

Nelson didn’t expect Wynter to be so sharp-tongued. She had put down the Shepherds in public without even breaking a sweat.

At first, he thought she would be easily manipulated given her history with Charlie. According to Charlie, Wynter was still pining over him,

and her indifference back at the manor had been a mere act.

With all this in mind, Nelson had approached Wynter to let everyone

see that the Shepherds and Jackson’s favorite mentee were on friendly terms. He never expected to be humiliated by her.

To add salt to injury, Wynter pointed out dryly, “May I remind you, Mr. Shepherd, that it was Charlie who wanted to kick me out of this ceremony? You tried to pass that off as a misunderstanding, but it does make me wonder about Shepherds’ arrogance.

“Did you assume I was playing hard-to-get when I said I had not

interest in Charlie whatsoever? Did you also assume that I turned up

today just so I could beg Charlie to take me back?

“Well, pardon me, but I can’t even stand looking at Charlie’s face. And

I have nothing else to say about his bad grades, terrible personality,

and untrustworthiness.”

She stopped in mock apology. “Ah, perhaps I’ve gone too far. After all, what would a commoner like me know about the prestigious

Shepherd family who are way out of my league?

“Everyone, please don’t think differently of the Shepherds because of what I said. I was merely stating my opinions. I had to be crude, you see, or the Shepherds wouldn’t be able to understand the full extent of

my annoyance.”

At once, the crowd that had gathered to listen began to whisper

among themselves.

This confrontation was different from the last. It was public, for starters, and Wynter’s newfound status as a hero gave her an edge.

The more the bystanders whispered, the more Nelson felt like he was being publicly ostracized.

Wynter even smiled as she added, “I wonder where you got the nerve to come up to me in the first place. Mr. Shepherd.”

Nelson wished a hole would open up and swallow him whole. He was

furious with her blatant insult. As for the rest of the Shepherds, they

doubted they could ever show their faces on the streets again after

this humiliation.

No one would again think of them as a reputable medical family, but rather as a family who had been publicly put in their place by a young

Meanwhile, the Vanderwoods, another family that had long been

calling off the engagement.

“Now, that same person is walking back on his decision. He’s so thick- skinned, it makes me sick!”
