Chapter 1348 Walked Straight into Trouble
With a pat on Cyrus‘ shoulder, Taylor burst into a hearty laugh. “Exactly. We’re both gullible softies–way too trusting and easily deceived.”
The account ledger Wynter previously showed him was a testament to the turmoil that unfolded, all because of his blind trust in Kenton during his youth.
“It’s best if you follow Wynter’s lead,” Taylor bluntly advised.
But Cyrus had only witnessed Wynter’s more aggressive side. Considering he was older and had graduated from business school, he believed he might have more expertise despite lacking a knack for
business.
That said, Cyrus knew better than to speak out of turn on such occasions and simply nodded in acknowledgment. Little did he know that Wynter had read his mind, but she kept the thoughts to herself.
Just then, Wynter received a call from Wolf, who tapped the microphone wordlessly. Wynter’s lips curled into a faint smile as she replied affectionately, “Alright, I’ll check it out later. Are you hungry? Go grab something to eat, then.”
Wearing an aloof expression, Wolf sent Wynter a message while staying on the line. “I’m not hungry. Mr. ATM treated me to a grand meal at the restaurant and even bought me a milkshake.”
Though Wynter was confused by the unusual name, she had a hunch about who it might be. Her suspicion was soon confirmed when a familiar baritone voice came through the phone. “I’m with Wolf. Don’t worry about him.”
Wynter immediately recognized the voice belonged to her handsome fiancé, though she wasn’t sure if he had overheard Wolf’s reference to him.
She cleared her throat and stated, “You know he has a large appetite.”
“Being his walking ATM, I can still cover his meals. I’ll be borrowing Wolf for some businesses,” came Dalton’s calm reply.
Wynter wondered what Dalton needed with Wolf. Before she could ask, she was cut off by a call from Orson. Deciding to address official concerns first, she set her questions aside.
Dalton was aware of her plan and seized his chance to search for his last soul fragment.
Never did Wynter imagine that the hotel Wolf mentioned was Serenity Hotel, but she chose to address
Orson’s concerns first.
Orson sounded anxious as he reported a problem at the factory. He urged her to come over and sent a
video to her.
“It seems like our adversaries are resorting to underhanded tactics. Give me some time, Mr. Blaise. I’ll be there soon with the others,” Wynter stated calmly.
Orson was visibly freaked out by the surge of online allegations against his juices. However, he was confident that the juice–making process met all standards and would pass any quality checks.
With her background in network technology, Wynter could easily tell if the video had been edited. She was aware of the implication behind such measured defamation.
