Chapter 1303 None of Your Concern
The crowd visibly paled as they watched the heartfelt exchange between Wynter and Reuben, especially those who had long colluded with the Wray family.
Throughout the years, Kenton’s associates had discreetly sowed
discord between the Whitman and Quinnell families for their own
interests. Sometimes, they even exaggerated misunderstandings or remained silent about the truth.
If the Whitman and Quinnell families made amends, it would inevitably bring their past misdeeds to light. In that scenario, the Whitmans would never forgive them, particularly regarding Marie’s affairs.
The whole reason they sided with Kenton could be traced back to when they deceived Shane and provided false information about Marie.
Upon learning of Wynter’s disappearance, Isabella attempted to meet Marie out of concern. In truth, Marie had regained her sanity during her time with Shane. Though she had hoped to reach out to Isabella, Shane hindered her attempts.
Driven by their greed, Kenton’s associates hesitated to speak the truth about Marie. Instead, they claimed that Marie would be belittled if the Whitmans didn’t support Shane’s success in Hawford.
Despite noting her longing and desperation, they chose to keep the truth from Isabella. In the end, Isabella never had the chance to reunite with her daughter before her passing.

Given Taylor’s adamant nature, Kenton’s associates couldn’t help fearing his reaction to the truth. They were apprehensive about hi swiftly cutting off their business connections.
At that moment, some individuals considered betraying Kenton t gain the Whitmans‘ favor during the voting session.
Though Kenton was crossed, he had no choice but to accept the nickname given. He wasn’t particularly annoyed by Reuben
outsmarting him, but he was certainly taken aback by Wynter’s brilliance.
Kenton had expected Wynter to be an ignorant prodigal with nothing to offer but her looks. However, he never anticipated her demureness around Reuben, seemingly trying to ingratiate herself with him.
Reading Kenton’s mind, Wynter gazed at him and stated, “I believe Mr. Wray’s affirmation remains to be proven.
“While it’s essential to bring fresh perspectives into business, we must also remember our roots. Grandpa Fabian once spoke of Grandpa Reuben not just as a businessman but also as an
entrepreneur.
“I recalled Grandpa Reuben once inscribed a vision of a land of peace and flourishing. He had hoped that Cascadian merchants would build their wealth, and in turn, contribute to the nation’s prosperity.
“I can’t agree less with your statement, Mr. Wray. Instead, I’ll heed
Grandpa Reuben’s advice and follow his examples. Cascadian
merchants should stay true to the core values. There’s nothing to fear when our country is strong and thriving.”
