Chapter 1326 Making a Comeback
Spencer Wadford was among the first to defect to the Wray family. At that moment, he had no choice but to follow up Kenton’s statement.
Spencer was also the first person Wynter sought to collaborate with, yet he turned her down. If he now admitted that Wynter had outwitted them, he would be seen as a fool.
Besides, Yvette had a card up her sleeve. Her ability to foresee stock trends was inimitable in real business.
In truth, Spencer backed Kenton merely to get a share of the stock market profits. However, others didn’t share Spencer’s views, especially those who had recognized Wynter’s prowess.
Not all business people were easy to fool. One businessman shared his thoughts on Wynter, “I believe we must be cautious, Mr. Wray. Judging from Mr. Whitman Senior’s reaction, it’s unlikely he schemed this.
“That girl is really something. Whether she wins the bid or not, she just needs to place four silver coins during the auction. She must’ve noticed the special rule and has been setting a trap for Ms. Yates from the start.”
Someone caught on to his words and asked, “Are you saying that she’ll play by the rules to ensure she gets both the fourth and fifth items, no matter what? But that’s impossible!”
“It’s possible if she understands our thinking. Remember, she won the second item with only the starting bid,” the businessman refuted.
The group fell silent. Though the auction rules were basic arithmetics in theory, they knew the real challenge in business lay in mastering such simple calculations. Yet, Wynter skilfully calculated the numbers without anyone realizing.
She had deliberately placed a bid that misled others into thinking she yearned for the first auction item. They had foolishly believed they had driven her into a corner, but in fact, she had lured them right into her
trap.
The best hunter often appeared as the prey. From the very beginning, Kenton and his associates were destined to lose. Still, they were puzzled how Wynter had come to know them so well.
“You’re just scaring yourself. She’s just a vocational student with no higher education. Do you seriously think she understands such concepts?” Kenton scoffed, masking his anxiety.
He was determined to become the Chamber of Commerce’s chairman. He couldn’t risk having anyone from his side sway others‘ opinions as it would affect his future investments and voting.
Now that the Quinnell and Whitman families had declared their reconciliation, he mustn’t let Wynter ride roughshod over him any longer!
“She’s just lucky. Do you really believe she could win without the hotel’s assistance?” Kenton refuted.
His sharp inquiry struck a chord with some of his allies. Those individuals were often regarded highly, yet they couldn’t help feeling diminished at Serenity Hotel.
Despite their frustration, they knew better than to offend the mysterious owner and chose to swallow their indignation in silence.
“So, what should we do now, Mr. Wray?” someone questioned.
As he glared at Wynter’s back, Kenton reassured his allies, “What’s the rush? She’s not the only one with a scheme. Even if she secured a lucrative project, it doesn’t guarantee her victory.

“Remember, the outcome is dictated by the profit ratio, and we won’t know the result for another week.”
Suddenly, someone pointed out, “But according to the rules, the auction’s winners will be selected as members of the Chamber of Commerce. In other words… the Quinnell family is making a comeback.”
Little did they know, that was exactly what Wynter hoped for. She had never forgotten her mission in Hawford, vowing to restore Gordon’s reputation and reclaim his lost properties. And this was just the beginning.
