Chapter 1331 The Vengeful Wrays
Kenton took a glance at Yvette as he heard Wynter's words.
Yvette spoke up at just the right moment, "Although the Yates family is known as a family of medical practitioners, we've always been based in Southdale and never ventured beyond. After the incident with my grandmother, no one in the Yates family has practiced medicine since.
"I recall that Ms. Quinnell attended a trade school in Southdale. Perhaps this was something that happened only after she returned to the Quinnells. Meeting a doctor like Dr. Campbell is a great honor for anyone in the medical field.
"I really envy you, Ms. Quinnell. After all, even during my time at Sacred Heart Medical University, I only had the chance to attend Dr. Campbell's lectures from afar. I've never had the privilege to approach him directly."
Yvette's words might have sounded like praise, but the underlying implication was clear. She had never met Evan even as a top student. So, how could someone like Wynter, who only attended a trade school, possibly have crossed paths with him?
After all, there had never been any mention of Evan having close ties with the Quinnell family.
The crowd picked up on the insinuation. Their gazes were filled with doubt and even a hint of disdain when they looked at Wynter again.
Kenton burst into laughter. "Mr. Reuben, look at Wynter. She is still a little too young and hot-headed. She can't keep things to herself and tends to exaggerate. She probably doesn't realize how rare Dr. Campbell's visits to Cascadia are.
"Most of the time, he's only brought here with substantial compensation. Even I haven't had the chance to meet him often, let alone someone her age.
"Wynter, you speak as though you're familiar with Dr. Campbell. When the time comes and you actually meet him, I hope you can maintain this confidence. After all, some things are hard to fake."
Upon hearing this, Wynter slowly curled her thin lips into a smile. "You are right, Mr. Wray. Some things are indeed hard to fake."
She then cast a glance at Yvette. "For instance, not knowing much about business acumen or the Arcane Way but still trying to maintain a facade. That must be quite uncomfortable."
Yvette's expression froze at Wynter's remark. A sense of inexplicable tension and unease surged within her.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
She wondered if Wynter already knew she had stolen the Arcane Way books from Margaret. But she eventually convinced herself that it seemed unlikely.
If that were the case, Margaret would have surely reprimanded her long ago and demanded the books be returned. Wynter couldn't possibly know about it. Those books didn't even seem like something that belonged to Margaret.
At this point, it no longer mattered whether Wynter knew or not. After all, she would never be able to guess that Yvette was reborn.
Yvette steadied her breathing. At least it wouldn't get to the point where she embarrassed herself in front of the crowd.
The recent auction had already displeased the Wray family. She knew she couldn't afford to draw any more attention at this moment.
However, what Yvette didn't realize was that Kenton would be even more frustrated at her current reaction. To him, it was evident that she had displayed weakness in front of Wynter, giving Wynter the upper hand.
While Yvette had many admirable qualities, her bumpkin mindset was an ongoing habit that made her unsuited for the limelight.
Kenton took a deep breath. "We'll meet again in a few days. I'll bring Dr. Campbell with me. Wynter, do not be hiding then."
Hide? Wynter lowered her gaze, her smile more enchanting than ever. The ancient script inscription on her neck seemed uncharacteristically devilish. "Mr. Wray, we'll definitely meet again."
Kenton didn't say anything else to her. He was worried that the more he spoke, the more Yvette would mess up.
It didn't matter to him. After all, the Quinnells would come to regret their decision to return to Hawford when they re-enter the Chamber of Commerce.
He planned to make them leave all their money behind. No, not only that. He would ensure to demand the Quinnells to use their shares to cover his losses here!
