Chapter 10 Wynter Embarrasses the Yates family
Leaning against the bike with her legs, Wynter casually looked over. She exuded a strong presence that demanded attention.
Ewan glanced at her. He held back his irritation as he shoved the bank card into her hand. Then, he said lowly, “Wynter, take the money and go.”
Today was Yvette's apprenticeship in medicine, and he didn’t want any unforeseen incidents. Wynter was initially lounged casually and unimpressed. She couldn't help but smirk at his words. Fifty thousand? Offering assistance? Taking the money and leaving?
The Yates family seemed eager to cast her as a penny-pinching “poor relative” at any cost.
Just when everyone thought Wynter would take the card and leave, she surprised them all. In one swift motion, she tossed the bank card back at him, decisive and precise!
The crowd froze
Wanda couldn't contain herself, screaming, “What are you doing! We're trying to help you. Don't take advantage!”
"Help me?” Wynter propped her chin. She was smiling softly. “Ms. Scott, I'm not interested in acting out your drama.
“Mr. Yates, you should keep this money for Ms. Scott. After all, she seems quite demanding as a mistress.”
“You! You..." Wanda's chest heaved with anger, nearly causing her to say things she shouldn't have. Ewan clenched his fists, his anger barely restrained. If not for the presence of others, he might have acted.
Wanda wasn't Ewan'’s first wife. He came to the city for business and caught Wanda’s eye, leading to their passionate relationship.
Noticing the Scott family’s influence in Southdale, Ewan abandoned his wife back home on the outskirts to marry Wanda. However, nobody would openly admit to these facts.
Wynter's words ruined Ewan and Wanda's lovey-dovey image! How could they have underestimated Wynter's resilience and strength?

The expressions of everyone present darkened. Even Hilda furrowed her brows, unaware of the situation
Yvette, who had been brought back to the family, knew the truth behind the situation. Being smart, she understood that it wasn't the right time for Wynter to continue speaking.
She gently said, “Dad, Mom, it's dinner time. Let's go inside.”,
Yvette's words snapped Ewan and Wanda back to reality.
Ewan knew how to create a good image in public.
He looked at Wynter and said, “Considering where you're from, you lack sophistication. We won't engage with you at that level.”
Then, he turned to Wanda and remarked, “Be more cautious when helping others in the future, lest your kindness be mistaken.”
Wanda's hostility was evident as she continued to gaze at Wynter.
Wynter held Wanda's gaze, her stunning appearance and enigmatic eyes leaving others puzzled. Wanda was almost losing her composure again due to her attitude.
"Mom, don't be upset over an outsider,” Yvette remarked, linking her arm with Wanda's. “ Madam Gibson has a relaxed demeanor. She won't lose her temper over some rumor.”
This was a gentle reminder for Wanda to stay composed without risking her image.
Wanda quickly got it, sighing. “I've totally screwed up by trying to help.”
Yvette reassured her, “Mom, you're not wrong. Nowadays, people have big egos. Handing a bank card directly might make sensitive folks feel disrespected.”
Was she implying Wynter was too needy? Wynter looked at them.
Yvette was quite sneaky. Yet, earlier in the morning, she had seen Wynter through the car window, knowing she was here to treat someone. Had Yvette already forgotten?
