The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 1295

Was it related to her past life, or was it related to Gordon? With no clear answers in sight, Wynter decided to head into the hotel first. She kept the ring and stepped into the center room.

Meanwhile, the guests gradually filled the seats in the theatrical hall. However, Kenton had plotted for Wynter to be late.

Many foreigners attended the meeting that year, and they seemed to enjoy the opera performance on stage.

Reuben, seated to the left side of the stage, carefully observed the spectators' expressions. Much to his anger, the Chamber of Commerce had been turned into little more than a bargaining chip to curry favor with foreign investors. He raised his hand, only to let it fall in resignation.

A noticeable divide had emerged between the Whitmans and the Wrays. Those who sided with the Whitman family were primarily from sunset industries, while most of the capitalists had gathered around Kenton. Such stark contrast boosted Kenton's ego further.

"That's enough questions for me. Why don't you consult Mr. Whitman Senior? After all, his business acumen is equally impressive. I'm sure he has a better grasp of current trends and profitable opportunities than I do." Kenton grinned.

Someone snickered. "Forget about him. It's been ages, yet the Quinnell family's daughter still hasn't shown up. We can't possibly keep waiting for her."

"He's right, Mr. Wray. Let's start the meeting," another echoed.

Kenton had been anticipating that moment. So what if the Quinnell family had received an invitation? He would make sure they were blocked at the door. Everyone knew who would be left humiliated once the meeting commenced.

There would be no place for the Quinnell family within the Chamber of Commerce any longer. It was time they bid farewell to their former prominence.

When Taylor attempted to intervene, the people beside him stopped him instead.

"It's best not to complicate things further, Mr. Whitman. Perhaps, fate has decided on the Quinnell family's absence," they stated softly.
