Chapter 1344 The Infighting
At worst, Taylor might be taken away by the authorities. Regardless of the consequences, the Whitman Group’s stocks were set to take a hit.
Given Reuben’s condition, he could barely handle the setbacks. Noah, too, already had a lot on his plate.
Although Taylor wasn’t afraid of going to prison, he was deeply concerned about his family’s potential ruin. Still, he couldn’t fathom how the account ledger surfaced, especially since it pertained to the property development made a long time ago.
Clearly, such an issue should never be made public. Taylor now understood the reason Wynter insisted on a private discussion.
“You’ve got to believe me, Sevie. I’ve never done anything against the law throughout my business career. Is this the Wrays‘ doing?” As Taylor flipped through the financial statement, he drew a smart conclusion.
“Indeed. It’s their ace in the hole,” Wynter affirmed, laying out the truth to remind Taylor of the threat while observing his reaction.
Despite having complete faith in her family, Wynter had to make sure there weren’t any hidden pitfalls. After all, Cyrus didn’t strike her as trustworthy. Fortunately, Taylor affirmed that he remained clear–headed and in compliance with the regulations.
With no other relatives raising concerns, Wynter could carry out her investigations without apprehensions.
Little did Kenton know he had underestimated Wynter’s network. To Kenton, Wynter was nothing more than an heir to the Quinnells‘ legacy. Although she had shown her brilliance in business, he doubted she could unearth the truth of the past.
If Wynter persisted in exposing Kenton, she would need to delve into his associates as well. However, those individuals were far beyond the scope of a scion from Kingbourne like her. Ultimately, the Whitman family was bound to take the fall for him.
With the backing of such powerful connections, Kenton purposely set up a bait for Wynter to deepen the rift between the Whitmans and Quinnells. He was hoping to see her personally drive Taylor into prison.
Kenton’s scheme was so intricate and flawless that his true intentions were nearly impossible to discern.. Unfortunately for him, his opponent was Wynter Quinnell.
Kenton’s greatest regret was dismissing Wynter as just another scion, a belief he learned from the fortune teller he had hired.
Disgruntled by Yvette’s performance, Kenton didn’t hold back his ruthlessness and ferocity. Indifferent to the watching eyes, he hurled a scalding cup onto the ground.
“You seem rather relaxed, Ms. Yates. How can you enjoy tea at a time like this?” Kenton scowled and waved his hand. The household staff attending to Yvette fearfully retreated without a word.
Yvette had basked in admiration and reverence for so long. She never expected such privileges would be stripped away, nor did she expect Kenton, who had once held her in high regard, would erupt into such fury.
At that moment, Kenton’s bodyguard grabbed a fistful of her hair and slammed her head onto the coffee table.
Yvette grimaced in pain as her face grew pale. “This is a misunderstanding, Mr. Wray. I…”
Kenton slumped onto the couch and glared at her. “You might be able to fool others, but you can’t fool

- me. Do you have any idea how you’ve humiliated me today, Yates?
“Given your ties with the Winstons, I acknowledge your capabilities. But don’t forget, the only reason you gained a foothold in Hawford so swiftly is thanks to our support!”
