The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call

Chapter 1414 Truly Handsome

The customized off-road vehicle was already attention-grabbing enough. It became even more eye-catching with the row of bodyguards dressed in black.

Only Dalton was dressed in a well-tailored wine-red suit. With his long legs, narrow waist, and a cigarette delicately held between his fingers, his strikingly handsome face was even more defined.

Wynter raised an eyebrow. Wasn't he supposed to be a non-smoker?

Yet, even amid the bodyguards, his presence was so commanding that it didn't get overshadowed. Instead, everyone seemed to only serve as backdrops with him around.

Wynter finally understood the phrase "with a commanding presence, power follows" in a tangible way. It described Dalton perfectly.

It was only natural for her to park her car when encountering her fiancé.

A hint of warmth crept into Dalton's cold gaze upon seeing Wynter.

This brought a sigh of relief to those accompanying him. Although they were unsure why Dalton was in such a good mood suddenly, at least they wouldn't need to face the brunt of his displeasure.

Wynter only noticed the several other high-ranking executives nearby after she got out of the car.

Before she could wonder if it was appropriate to approach now, Dalton spoke up, "Are you taking Cyrus back to the Whitman residence?"

"Yes." Wynter watched as he extinguished the cigarette and walked over. She decided not to press further about her presence's appropriateness.

The others also started to recognize Wynter. They exchanged glances as they thought of ways to avoid being in the way.

Dalton's voice was casual when he addressed them. "Since everyone is unprepared, please see to it that Mr. Whitman is taken care of."Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

"Yes, of course!" one of the executives immediately responded. "Rest assured, Mr. Yarwood. Mr. Whitman is also a familiar face to us, and with our connections with Mr. Calico, we'll make sure he gets home safely."

Dalton merely hummed in approval and didn't say any further.

Cyrus didn't want to leave. He still wanted to discuss family matters with Wynter a bit longer. After all, the sudden recent changes were difficult for him to accept all at once.

However, considering that these individuals were all his elders and had offered to escort him, he felt it would be impolite to stay.

The Yarwood family's connections were indeed inscrutable. Even when it came to hosting and dining, everything had to align with Dalton's schedules. It was evident how influential they were with the prominent figures accompanying him.

Cyrus continued to look back even as the car drove away. The others, however, breathed a sigh of relief. Dealing with Dalton was far more demanding than interacting with higher- ups from their own side.

They couldn't quite decipher what Dalton was thinking. It felt like any small misstep might reveal their own inadequacies.

The management team from the Yarwood family was less concerned with the intricate dynamics. They were more focused on discerning Dalton's intentions. It seemed like he might be interested in acquiring land in this area.

However, they also considered it unlikely. After all, this location was too remote and challenging for development. They thought that perhaps it was just a fleeting interest.

But Wynter had a different perspective on this matter. She had no intention of competing for land with Dalton at this time.

"You're late. I've already secured this land," Wynter said nonchalantly as she leaned against her Lamborghini. She was replying to texts as she spoke to Dalton.

Dalton suddenly chuckled as he listened to Wynter. "You're quick to act."

"Is this land part of the Yarwood family's commercial plans?" Wynter was sharp. "I didn't know that."

Dalton's tone betrayed nothing. "It's more of a personal interest."

After all, beneath this land lay something significant to him.

Wynter chose not to delve into the reasons and focused on her warning. "Don't compete with me on this. It will complicate things if they realize what I'm doing. They think I'm after the urban village."

Dalton understood her plan from this comment alone and chuckled softly. "In terms of your cultivator jargon, this piece of land is right on the Celestial Force, though it doesn't show on the surface. It seems you bought it at a very low price."
