The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 302

Chapter 302 Eventual Disgrace

Roland was so anxious that he broke into a cold sweat. He quickly

ushered the Shepherd family out of their seats and snapped, “All of

you, to the back!”

“The back?” Charlie was incredulous as he protested, “But I’m supposed to go up on stage for the award!”

Lucas gave Roland an icy look. “Mr. Lewis, I expected better

arrangements from you.”

Blood drained from Roland’s face. He didn’t bother with civility. anymore as he grabbed Charlie by the arm and hauled him away.” Who do you think you are to go up on stage? That award is meant for

Dr. Genius!”

Charlie gaped at Roland in surprise. Nelson, on the other hand, knew better than to argue with Roland. As such, he turned away from

Charlie and flashed Lucas a polite smile.

Just like that, the Shepherd family was put up in a remote corner.

Charlie was disgracefully escorted out of the hall as everyone watched in bewilderment. He stared at Roland with wide eyes and

demanded, “Roland, we agreed that I was supposed to go up on stage!

With nobody watching them outside, Roland let go of Charlie like the latter was a filthy animal and snapped, “That’s Mr. Lewis to you!”

Charlie wanted to step forward to confront Roland, but the security

team formed a human blockade and stopped him from going any

further.

Roland sneered in contempt and wondered how the Shepherds had managed to raise such an ignorant son. Charlie hadn’t even

pretended to understand what Lucas was implying! It was only a

matter of time before Lucas cracked down on the Shepherd family’s

crimes.

In the past, Roland wouldn’t have balked in front of Lucas.

After all, it would take a lot of work before Lucas could even get a hint of dirt on the Shepherds, and the investigation would have dragged on for months or years on end. At some point, Lucas would probably have called off the investigation or even deemed it a failure.

But things were different now, and Lucas’ forces were formidable Nothing good would come to Roland from getting on Lucas’ bad side.

Meanwhile, Charles couldn’t believe that he had worked on his speech for a full day and overnight for nothing. It didn’t help that his fellow university classmates were pelting him with questions in their group

text.

“Charlie, how’s the award ceremony? We’re all waiting for your

interview!”

“Why are you more anxious about this than Yvette?”

“That’s because Yvette is busy and I’m asking on her behalf.”

Yvette participated in the conversation diplomatically. “I’m at the school entrance. Coffee’s on me, everyone.”

“Long live Yvette!”

“An angel through and through-Yvette should be voted model citizen.

Charlie was feeling worse about himself as he read the group’s lively messages. He loosened his tie and could not shake off the bad feeling that was creeping up on him.

He was stunned that Roland and Lucas were speaking up for an imposter like Wynter. Narrowing his eyes, Charlie was determined to keep this a secret from his classmates.

“Something’s come up, guys,” Charlie texted. “An important

consultation came in and I have to miss the ceremony. Someone else will receive the award on my behalf. Sorry for the wait. Dinner’s on me when I get back to Kingbourne.”

The excitement in the group text died down at once. Some of his classmates felt bad that he was going to miss the ceremony, while others thought it was right of him to prioritize his patients.

No longer in the mood to read the messages in the group, Charlie

clicked on Yvette’s name and texted her privately.

“Do you know if Margaret has any important connections in

Southdale?”

Yvette read his message and frowned, replying, “Why do you ask,

Charlie?”

“No reason. I heard Margaret got to know a lot of important people during her prime, that’s all,” he lied.

He added for good measure, “I think you should keep in touch with Margaret every once in a while, Yvette. You can’t have that imposter

winning your grandmother’s favor. You’re the one who’s related to Margaret by blood, after all.”

After that, he told Yvette about Lucas coming to Wynter’s defense, though he spared her the details. He sounded sure of himself as he declared, “I bet Margaret knows someone in the Keller family.”

Yvette grew uneasy as she typed, “How would Margaret know the

Kellers?”

In her previous life, the Kellers played a key role, and she only knew this because of Ewan. Lucas had been a decisive leader who didn’t
