CHAPTER 1282
Chapter 1282 Wynter’s Lifeline
What exactly was the injustice women faced? It was the contradictory roles society expected of them.
Society would expect women to be the perfect mother and a corporate elite simultaneously. When a woman chose to leave her career to focus on her family, people would judge them.
Even if they didn’t regret their decision, there would be people regretting it for them. They would say that the woman was only deluding themselves and that she would regret it sooner or later.
Indeed, there was often regret.
But because of love, many mothers chose to become full–time homemakers despite foreseeing potential future dissatisfaction. Did they truly feel secure, believing they would be happy forever? Of course not. They did it willingly.
Others, unwilling, may later say, “I only stayed because of you.”
There were many people with many different opinions. Marriage success or failure inexplicably became a measure of a woman’s worth, which was both ironic and real.
People in Hawford called Marie a love–struck fool, as if everything she did, including the Whitman family’s troubles, stemmed from her blind love for Shane. Yet, those people would never tell the Whitmans the truth–that Marie was ill.
No one would willingly fall ill, much less lose a part of their soul, live like a puppet, and go unseen by the world.
Marie’s unfortunate circumstances arose from her being a Whitman, marrying into the Quinnell family, and giving birth to Wynter. Every factor played a part.

whether in reality or her imagination, Marie’s inner strength was more resilient than anyone else’s. This was something Wynter had always believed.
Sure enough, Marie spoke up, “He promised me he would use his position as a decision–maker in the Chamber of Commerce to help oust the Wray family at the critical moment.
“Once that’s done, the Darnell family will withdraw from the Chamber. They will no longer compete in the Cascadian business market.”
Hearing this, Wynter circled Marie.
Marie thought she had negotiated poorly. “Was that a bad deal for us?
“No, I’m just curious.” Wynter circled her again. “Did Lucius really agree?”
Marie nodded and continued, “Call him Mr. Lucius when we get to the
venue.
“Okay. He’ll be worth a lot to us,” Wynter muttered, her voice getting softer at her last sentence. She could undoubtedly think of ways to

others below them.
Even after learning so much in the old Quinnell residence, Wynter hadn’t planned to use Marie’s connections. But now, it seemed that Lucius was the real love–struck fool.
