The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 1309

Chapter 1309 Need Time to Process It 

Even during the earlier commotion, Wynter had not seen Reuben react at all. Now, sitting beside him, she could clearly sense the complexity of Reuben’s emotions. 

“In the past, the Chamber of Commerce united to gain a foothold internationally during economic hardships. Now, we’re relying on a foreigner. It’s truly ironic.” 

“Dad.” Taylor wanted to comfort him. 

Reuben looked up and said, “I’m fine. It’s no use blaming others. After all, businessmen are driven by profit. No one wants their company to go bankrupt, especially when there are so many people depending on them.” 

He didn’t fault those who left their seats. Everyone needed to survive. But in such circumstances, was this still the Southern Cascadia Chamber of Commerce it used to be? 

Wynter understood what Reuben was thinking and turned her gaze back to Lucius. She wondered if this was the man who secretly admired Marie. He did look quite handsome and young, though he was difficult to approach. 

If Lucius did end up supporting her as he said he would, she might reconsider her strategy. 

However, one thing about Wynter was that she never relied on others to determine the outcome. Wynter decided it was best to first have a private conversation and ensure it was done discreetly. 

She felt it was important to also coordinate with Reuben beforehand. So, without delay, she leaned in and whispered, “Grandpa, are you aware that this mixed–race gentleman has feelings for Mom?” 

Reuben was visibly taken aback. In all his years in the business world, he had always maintained a calm demeanor, given his scholarly family background. 

Now, seeing Reuben’s reaction, even Taylor was curious about what Wynter had said to make him react this way. 

Rueben took a while to regain his composure before finally saying, “Wynter, you aren’t joking, are you?” 

“Of course not. Grandpa, you might not know this, but my Grandpa Gordon left a few people behind for me.” Wynter thought for a while before continuing, “I’ve looked into some gossip about 

Mom and this man.” 

Reuben was rendered completely speechless before he spoke again, “You… Give me a moment to process this first.” 

Wynter nodded. “Take your time. I’ll go check things out. He wanted to marry into the Whitman family but was rejected by Mom, so I’ll see how he is now.” 

Wynter stood up right after she spoke, giving Taylor no time to react. In fact, he, who had been decisive and authoritative in the business world, had no clue how to react at all! 

The very thought that the Darnell family’s heir had once been interested in Marie and even wanted to marry into the Whitman family left him stunned. He had no idea what Wynter was talking about!

Taylor felt a little disoriented. He shifted in his seat and cleared his throat. “Dad, do you think what Wynter said is credible?” 

“That man does seem somewhat familiar, especially those eyes,” Reuben replied as he watched Lucius, who was surrounded by the crowd, as if lost in thought. 

Only Taylor was feeling restless, especially as Wynter approached those people. He was worried that she might be rejected while selecting a business partner. 

Taylor’s worries were indeed valid. As Wynter approached, those seemingly casual yet meaningful glances exchanged among the crowd silently conveyed their disdain and contempt for her. 

To conceal her true intentions, Wynter randomly approached someone. “Hello, Mr. Hollin. Would you be willing to collaborate with me?” 

Raphael Hollin was engaged in a lively discussion with som
