CHAPTER 1266
Chapter 1266 Come With Me
The first thing Wynter did when she returned to the hotel was to report everything that had happened at the Whitman residence to Marie.
Marie couldn’t sit still upon hearing this. “How could your
grandfather’s health suddenly deteriorate so much? Was it due to medication errors, or something else?”
Wynter understood Marie’s anxiety. She reassured her by placing hand on her shoulder.
“Mom, don’t worry. Grandpa will be fine. The medicine is already on its way. What I wanted to talk to you about are the previous misunderstandings.
“After you recovered, you tried to return to the Whitman family several times, but neither Grandpa nor my uncles seemed to know about it. Besides the Wray family, there must be others causing trouble.”
Wynter lowered her gaze. “Let’s attend tomorrow afternoon’s Chamber of Commerce together. You can use the invitation, and I’ll find another way to get in.”
Marie was more than eager to see Reuben after hearing about his illness. Hence, she agreed to follow Wynter’s plan after knowing that she could meet him. However, she had one concern. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“The Wray family’s connections in Hawford are very intricate. I’m worried about you,” Marie said while holding Wynter’s hand.
Despite Wynter’s capabilities, Hawford was perilous. The Wray family’s rise to power wasn’t simple. There must have been more

than what met the eyes.
Wynter smiled softly. “Mom, don’t forget that Grandpa has paved the way for me. I’m going to visit the old Quinnell residence now.” “Going to the old Quinnell residence will definitely draw attention.”
Marie recalled today’s news reports and felt uneasy. She had an idea of what could have happened which led to the tragic incident involving Vanessa jumping to her death.
Marie wasn’t at the age where she was clueless and innocent. After learning that the Wray family has a share in the bar, it added to her anxiety.
Ever since they reached Hawford, it felt as if Wynter, Albert, and even the hotel she was in were under surveillance.
If Wynter went to the old Quinnell residence, it would mean telling the people in the Chamber of Commerce that she was there to reclaim the leadership for the Quinnell family. Such an approach was bold but also dangerous:
Marie, as her mother, didn’t want to hinder Wynter’s ambitions but sought a safer approach. “I’ll go back to the Whitman residence again. Even if I can’t get in, I can at least divert some of the Wray family’s attention.”
“Mom, there’s no need. Let them come to me. That would be for the best.” Wynter smiled. “That way, I’ll know exactly who doesn’t want things to return to their rightful place.”
Her logic was sound. The Chamber of Commerce was founded by Gordon. Now, those people not only wielded power but were also oppressing the very people who helped build it.
Wynter couldn’t allow this to continue. Every debt had a debtor, and she intended to settle accounts with everyone involved.

The fact that the Winston family had yet to show up was another matter weighing on her mind.
If Wynter had a weak point, it would undoubtedly be Marie being alone in Hawford.
Therefore, she left Whitley at the hotel to protect her. With a Savior around, no evil forces would succeed. This would ensure absolute safety for Marie.
Having arranged everything, Wynter returned to the taxi. A closer look revealed that the taxi was modified.
Wolf sat inside. The back seat was surrounded by monitors displaying different areas of Club Solstice.
Unlike usual, Wolf seemed exceptionally hungry. He can’t help but find his surroundings aromatic. He was constantly nibbling on bread and staring at the hotel with bright eyes.
Wynter noticed his unusual behavior. She furrowed her brows as a thought struck her. “You mentioned wanting to eat grilled snake before. Do you have a particular liking for reptiles?”
