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

Chapter 1456 Threatening Wynter

The other Chamber of Commerce members had already completed their additional investments. Kenton was frustrated that he was the only one left.

Fortunately, with some professional traders' help, his investments were quickly secured half an hour before the market closed.

Kenton breathed a sigh of relief when his investments were added. "Thank god I managed to catch up. It's all the accountant's fault. He acts like he's the boss just because he handles money."

One of the Chamber members who had overheard the argument earlier asked, 'Mr. Wray, do you have personal connections with the accountant?"

"He used to be one of my underlings.' Kenton took a drag from his cigarette. 'He's just a country bumpkin. I hired him because he was smart and did well in school.

"He even got a full scholarship and went abroad for further studies. If he wasn't good with numbers, I wouldn't have kept him."

"Then you have to be cautious, Mr. Wray. Accountants can be very vengeful and ruthless when it comes to getting their revenge. I had a similar situation with an accountant before.

"The traitor was thinking about reporting me to the authorities. Fortunately, I had someone planted inside the department where he submitted the report. Otherwise, I'll be in trouble thanks to that dimwit."

Kenton narrowed his eyes and spoke in a dangerous tone, "What are you implying?"This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

"Mr. Wray, it's wise to be on guard." The person continued, "You saw how he left quietly after you slapped him. As the saying goes, it's the quiet ones you have to watch."

Kenton stubbed out his cigarette and replied, "Probably not. I'm using my own money, after all. By tomorrow, when the stock market opens, the profits will cover the funds I pulled from the company's accounts.

"He'll just be a barking dog by then. What can he do about it?"

The member nodded in agreement. "That's true. Our money will be back in the account by tomorrow. It was just a mere reminder. Don't take it too seriously, Mr. Wray."

But how could someone like Kenton not take it seriously?

Although the stocks Kenton and his associates invested in rose slightly, they paled in comparison to the skyrocketing gold prices.

As a result, the celebratory banquet they had planned never materialized. It was a shame, especially since they had already opened the champagne.

Each of the Chamber of Commerce members had their own hidden agendas. One of them, in particular, had connections to the Montclair family.

The land in Wynter's possession was undoubtedly a lucrative project that every businessman wanted a stake in. The news had already been released, and development would soon begin.

Though they no longer expected to share in the land profits, development would definitely require investors. Hence, maintaining good relations with Wynter could significantly increase their chances of winning contracts in the future!

However, they had previously expressed strong disdain for Wynter. It was difficult to reconnect with her.

However, with Cyrus in the picture as the negotiator, the situation would be different. He was a part of the Montclair family, after all.

Lorien Montclair decided to visit Tamia, wanting her to think of ways to pressure the Whitman family. After all, the land that came through Cyrus' connections shouldn't exclude him from the benefits.

If Wynter wanted to save the family from embarrassment, she would likely have to relinquish some control over the project. Otherwise, she might as well alienate herself from the Whitman family entirely!

Lorien's plan revealed the Montclair family's true nature-conniving and self-serving. However, their schemes were ultimately foolish. They were blinded by arrogance and a false sense of superiority

Meanwhile, Kenton took those words to heart.

After the Chamber of Commerce members had left, he summoned a few of his private bodyguards. They weren't just any ordinary security personnel but were basically thugs.

Kenton lowered his voice and said seriously. "Pay a visit to Mr. Tucker's house. Make sure he knows what happens to those who betray me.'
