Chapter 1251 Checking on Reuben
Wynter clenched her fists nervously. She didn’t feel such anxiousness when reuniting with the Quinnell family.
Despite already arriving at the Whitman residence and meeting Taylor, she just realized she needed a plan to resolve the longstanding conflict.
She resembled her mother, and Wynter knew that Noah and Taylor wouldn’t dismiss her appearance as a mere coincidence.
At that moment, Taylor put the phone conversation on hold and started to turn around. However, his attention was immediately captured by Kenton’s deep sigh.
“What are you hesitating for, Taylor? We’ve known each other since childhood. You know that no doctors out there can cure Mr. Reuben’s illness. Don’t keep the old man suffering.
“I spoke with Evan about Mr. Reuben last time, and he insisted on Mr. Reuben’s immediate surgery. His condition will only worsen with delays, but I’m sure you’re already aware of that,” Kenton urged.
He paused briefly and continued, “I understand you might have concerns about the Chamber of Commerce, but that’s nothing to worry about. You’re not a stranger -you are and will always be my close friend.
“Besides, there’s nothing wrong with welcoming foreign investments. Grant them some power, and money flows in! It’s a win–win for everyone, and we can make profits together!
“Once we’ve sorted things out with the Chamber of Commerce, Evan will be able to visit Mr. Reuben and provide treatment more easily. Otherwise, Mr. Reuben might continue to suffer. It’s not easy to bring Evan in for treatment.”
At that point, Kenton’s words could be interpreted as a subtle warning. As a fellow businessman, Taylor recognized the underlying implication.
However, Taylor would never risk Reuben’s life on a gamble. He stated sternly, “We still have time, so let me think it over. But if I do agree, you must ensure Evan will keep his
temper in check and abide by the Cascadian rules.
Kenton gave a hearty laugh and reassured him, “Don’t worry, I’ve already spoken with Evan about that. I understand Mr. Reuben’s a conventionalist, and I respect that.
“Don’t say I didn’t warn you, Taylor–our generations have a different way of conducting business. It’s all about international connections now.
“No one cares where you’re from; you’re considered a friend if you can bring in profits.”
To think there came a day when the Whitmans were offered business advice from the Wrays. The times had regrettably changed, and now they required the Wray family’s assistance.

That said, Taylor didn’t share Kenton’s sentiment and cut the conversation short. “Call me once Evan arrives in Hawford. I might need to convince my father…”
As Taylor’s voice trailed off, Wynter came to a sudden realization from the phone call. She had previously wondered why the Whitman family heeded the Wrays‘ suggestions on certain matters.
She sincerely doubted that the Whitman family had fallen so far behind that the Wrays had emerged as the leading force in Hawford’s business industry.
At that moment, Wynter finally grasped the whole situation.
While the Whitman family remained standing, they required the Wray family’s assistance in treating Reuben’s illness. That dependence left Taylor and Noah at the Wrays‘ mercy.
Upon noticing Wynter listening to Taylor’s conversation, Jesslyn approached her with a low and disapproving tone.
“I assume Dr. Harper has been too busy to brief you on the Whitman family’s rules. You’re advised to ignore any distractions and focus solely on your work.
“However, it seems Mr. Taylor is rather busy. Let me show you upstairs–Mr. Taylor will see you afterward. By the way, Mr. Lockwood will be overseeing your examination of Mr. Reuben.”
As Jesslyn rambled, she turned to head upstairs. Wynter followed suit without sparing another glance at Taylor. At present, her top concern now was to check on Reuben’s
condition.
