Chapter 1495 Wynter's Counterattack
After this incident, the Chamber of Commerce members could no longer pretend that nothing had happened.
It was especially so for those who had betrayed the Whitman family and relied on the Wray family to rise. They began to feel an uncontrollable fear, particularly of Kenton revealing what had happened.
That day, there were more people than ever in front of the commercial building. Previously, the members had managed to maintain a facade of harmony. But now, they rushed ahead with their entourage, disregarding any attempts to stop them.
Of course, such commotion didn't go unnoticed by Wynter. Her purpose in meeting Kenton was to wait for those lurking in the shadows to reveal themselves.
The Waldron family, which used to be close to the Whitman family but was now not very influential in Hawford, was a good example.
If it weren't for Chad's recent problems that led Wynter to follow the trail and uncover the truth, even she wouldn't have realized that the Waldron family had already sided with the Wray family.
Those who had been in the business world for a long time didn't expect to see Wynter as soon as they entered. This left them with no time to retreat, and their expressions were varied as they hesitated to go further.
Wynter remained the calmest among them, while Kenton desperately wanted to keep her from leaving. However, the relevant authorities were already en route to the building.
Kenton was powerless. Not only could he not take action, but he also couldn't openly contact the person involved.
"You're quite ruthless for someone so young," he remarked.
A public report meant an investigation had to take place, even if it was just for show. Wray Group had to cooperate with the inquiry. However, such a scandal meant that no one could save the company now.
Wynter's drastic action left everyone at a loss. Who would have thought everything would have such a chain reaction?
The Chamber of Commerce members weren't worried about getting trapped in the stock market as they thought they could weather the storm eventually. But Wynter didn't give them any time to recover.
The Waldron family's representative quickly glanced around, searching for an escape route. "Wynter, are you here to urge the Wray family to repay their debts?"
Disguising themselves as someone here to collect debts might leave them a slim chance of survival.
Wynter chuckled. "Unfortunately, I came here to wait for you gentlemen. You're quite late, and I'm starting to feel a bit hungry."
As soon as those words left her lips, the smiles on the others' faces froze. Had the Whitman family realized their connection with the Wray family? That couldn't be! They had always covered up their tracks!
Taylor still regarded them as friends after so many years, too. So, how exactly did Wynter find out?
Knowing what they were thinking, Kenton sneered. "Don't you understand? It's obvious she did this to make you come to me."
His biggest regret was not suppressing her when she first arrived in Hawford. That would have prevented her from seizing this opportunity!
Now that everyone had gathered, those traps he had carefully laid within the Whitman family were causing everyone to panic!
The person from the Waldron family was the most astute. Realizing that everything had been exposed, he looked at Wynter with murderous intent.
"Wynter, you've caused such a ruckus. You should consider whether the Whitman family can handle the consequences that follow."
"I'm young and don't think much," Wynter replied nonchalantly. "It's nice to formally meet you all. Consider this my introductory gift. As for the consequences, I'll be waiting."
Another person spoke up, "Aren't you afraid that we might join forces against you? It would be wise to ask your elders before making a decision.
"No one in the business world wants to make enemies. With the Wray family on the verge of collapse, you should know when to hold back."
Hearing that, Wynter stepped closer to the group. "I detest being threatened."
