Unknown Fate
Bertram naturally recognized Winter; he just never expected such a high and mighty woman to end up in such an embarrassing state.
After all, she had always been Walter’s favorite daughter. It was just a shame that she didn’t have the best taste and insisted on liking Tristan.
Doesn’t she realize who he is? He’s not someone she can play tricks on!
Winter called out to Tristan as she watched him leave.
“Tristan! Have you really never liked me a single bit?” She had been so fixated on him all this while, but in the end, was this love only one-sided?
The woman thought he would at least answer her. Yet, he didn’t even look back.
Tears spilled down the sides of her eyes. It was then she knew he would never like her.
It was also about time she put a stop to this one-sided love.
Seeing that she was Charles’ sister, Bertram gave her two pieces of tissue.
“Don’t cry. Ms. Quigley. I’ll arrange to have someone pick you up. There are plenty of other guys a woman like you can choose from, so don’t be upset!” He didn’t really know how to console someone, but he tried his best after seeing the way she was sobbing her heart out.
“Am I that terrible of a woman, Bertram? Why won’t he ever acknowledge me? What makes Sophie better than me?”
Bertram paused. Should I be honest? But she’s already so upset. She’ll flood the entire place if I tell her the truth.
“You’re amazing. Ms. Quigley. It’s just that Mr. Tristan isn’t into you. That’s why he doesn’t realize how good you are. All right. I have other things to take care of, so I’ll get someone to take you to the airport.” He couldn’t afford to waste any more time on her.
With that, he quickly called for someone.
“She’s the third daughter of the Quigley family. Take her to the airport. I’ve already arranged her flight so she can head straight back to Jipsdale.”
Fandar was far too dangerous now.
After Winter had left, Bertram immediately gave Charles a call.
“Hello, Mr. Quigley. Your sister’s flight has been taken care of. Do keep a lookout on your end.”
“Thanks, Bertram. I’ll buy you a meal when you come back.”
Charles was certainly worried about his sister, but he hadn’t had the time to get someone to bring her back as Felix’s fate remained unknown.
“I don’t deserve the credit. Mr. Tristan helped her because of Ms. Tanner.” It wasn’t as though they didn’t
know what Tristan was like; he never would’ve bothered with Winter if it weren’t for Sophie.
“I know.” Sophie was always this magnanimous.

She never wanted to make Winter’s life hard. It was the latter who didn’t know her place and kept trying to make Tristan recognize her existence.
“All right, I’ll talk to you later. Things are really busy here.” They had to deal with so many other forces while also looking for Felix, who remained missing.
“Is there still no news on Felix?” Charles’ expression looked particularly grim.
The men had been friends since young, but now, no one knew what had happened to Felix. Charles and Sean couldn’t head over personally as they were caught up with all the affairs in Jipsdale, but they were still extremely worried.
“Not yet. The longer this goes on, the lower our chances of saving him.”
Most importantly, they didn’t even know if Felix was still alive.
That was the most concerning part.
“I understand, Bertram. Give it your all and save him.”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Quigley. We’re all trying our best. Mr. Tristan and Ms. Tanner are here too. With them around, you can rest easy. Anyway, I have to get back to work, so I’ll talk to you next time.”
