Chapter 1165 The Whitmans in Hawford
It was common knowledge in the Hawford circle that Marie had recently been striving to reconcile with the Whitmans.
However, Yvette had just arrived from Kingbourne and couldn’t possibly know the intricate details of the situation in Hawford.
Yet, she talked about kinship right off the bat. Was she referring to Marie? Or perhaps the Quinnell family members who were about to arrive in Hawford?
Regardless of who Yvette was referring to, her fortune–telling was eerily accurate. The readings provided by Yvette skyrocketed her fame overnight.
In reality, the aristocratic families had each been harboring their own ulterior motives. They had long been waiting to cause trouble for the Whitmans. Yvette’s readings struck a chord with them perfectly.
The Wray family, who had a good relationship with the Whitmans, approached them. “Robin, you really should be careful if even the fortune teller says so.”
Robin stood there. The ring on his finger bore the family crest, a symbol of his
immense wealth and power.
Despite being middle–aged, he exuded an air of sophistication. He maintained a well- kept physique and looked sharp in his suit. He had an air of mature elegance.
“I’ve never believed in Arcane Way and such. You should know I’m a staunch materialist,” Robin said.
Kenton Wray was about to say more when Robin tapped his glass. “I have other matters to attend to. I’ll take my leave now. As for Lady Angelica’s cooperation terms, I’ll go back and consider them carefully.”
“I can see you’re hesitant about teaming up with the Winstons.” Kenton gave Robin’s shoulder a reassuring pat.
“However, you have to consider this. Times have changed. Trying to monopolize everything can bring risks.
“You may not think highly of the Boyd family, but they’ve been solid in risk
management. Let’s explore a new approach to collaboration.”
Robin didn’t turn him down immediately. “I will give you an answer by next week.”
“I hope you come around soon. There’s no better offer than what Lady Angelica has put forward,” Kenton replied.
