Wynter attempted to speak with Kendrick twice, but he ignored her. He continued to walk ahead on his own.
It was Dalton who paused momentarily, clearly waiting for Wynter. His profile was refined and dignified. As he reached out to assist Wynter down the steps, his presence exuded an aristocratic air.
Outside of the Quinnell residence, his imposing presence was unmistakable.
Observing Dalton's behavior, Kendrick finally noticed Wynter and said with a smile, "Mr. Yarwood, who would have thought you and Wynter have such a close relationship?"
He referred to Dalton as Mr. Yarwood and Wynter by her first name. He was obviously trying to use his seniority to undermine Wynter.
It seemed that some people in this circle still hadn't learned their lesson.
Dalton raised an eyebrow. Instantly, a chilling frost lurked in the corners of his eyes.
If those accustomed to being around him had been present, they would have recognized it as a prelude to him dealing with someone.
Though Kendrick had met Dalton a few times, their social and financial standings were vastly different, so he was unaware of Dalton's temperament.
He didn't notice any hint of impatience on Dalton's handsome face. Instead, there was a faint smile.
Kendrick thought he had hit the mark with his flattery.
"Mr. Yarwood, I heard you like paintings. My daughter, Sara, is currently working on her graduation design project."
Chuckling, Kendrick shook his head. "She's won quite a few awards abroad but still wants to return home for her career. When we sit down later, maybe you can offer a few words of guidance."
Dalton halted momentarily, and his gaze deepened.
In his view, when dealing with a family like the Larson family, he preferred direct acquisition through financial pressure. Making a casual visit was such a waste of time.
He glanced at Wynter.
