Chapter 1449 A Brighter Future
Reuben was momentarily stunned before caressing Cyrus' head. "There's nothing to apologize for. It seems like you've figured something out. I guess learning from Wynter has been worthwhile.
"I honestly thought you might give up or feel threatened by her, worried she would take over your position as the Whitman family's heir, but you didn't. Wynter has told me about your actions, including your private support to Orson.
"When your mother demanded you withdraw the investments and confined you, you escaped the house to tell Wynter the truth. Despite knowing the risks for potential losses, you still offered all your savings to her.
"You didn't go back on your words or betray your cousin, nor did you naively believe others as you once did. You have developed your own judgements. To be honest, I didn't expect this from you."
Reuben sighed and continued, "I was too stubborn back then and didn't consider your stance. I'm truly proud to have a grandson like you, Cyrus."
His words struck a chord with Cyrus, who confidently met Reuben's gaze for the first time. He never realized that his once-formidable grandfather had grown old until then. Reuben's hair had turned white, and his face showed signs of aging.
In the past, Cyrus instinctively turned away whenever he saw Reuben. But now, all he felt were regret and distress.
Cyrus reached out to hug Reuben as tears silently streamed down his face. Marie watched the heartfelt moment with a warm smile when Noah and Taylor arrived at the door.
"You can finally rest assured, Noah. Cyrus has truly matured. He'll become a strong and dependable member of the family," Taylor said.
Noah took a deep breath, as if he was trying to hold back his sorrows. He knew exactly who to thank for such a touching development.
That said, his way of showing gratitude was straightforward -he transferred around 30 million dollars to Wynter's account, along with two messages.
"I know you're not short of money, but the stock market is unpredictable. You might not be able to access cash immediately. Consider this the pocket money I should've given you in the past 17 years," Noah texted.
It turned out Wynter was nowhere to be found when the news broke, and even the Whitman family wasn't certain of her whereabouts.
They were all concerned whether she had sufficient funds in her account, given that she hadn't accessed any funds from the Quinnells' savings account.
Meanwhile, filled with anxiety, Fabian asked, "Is Sevie still unreachable?"
"No, but Mr. Albert mentioned she might not be able to answer the phone since the afternoon stock market is about to open," Alexis replied as he glanced at his watch. There were still 15 minutes before the stock market opened.
In truth, Wynter wasn't intentionally staying out of reach. Time was running out, and she sought to ensure that everything was impeccable.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
She had actually predicted the affairs regarding the land acquisition, drawing inspiration from her review of the map.
As a reborn soul, Yvette had witnessed such policy reforms in her previous life. In other words, those changes were an established reality.
Such was a strong individual's mindset. Instead of dismissing Yvette's ability, Wynter took advantage of them to achieve her own goals.
