Chapter 1355 Turn the Tables

"It's nothing much. I have a connection from overseas. This time, we managed to bring in a new batch of goods with very high profit margins. They're all the latest trending items overseas and will arrive in a few days. We'll make a big profit."

Benette smiled at Cyrus as he spoke. "We owe it all to you, Cyrus. Our store can stock up on such great goods thanks to you."

Cyrus furrowed his brows. He had a nagging feeling that something was off about what Benette just said, but he couldn't quite pinpoint it.

Benette only dared to act this way because Cyrus had been studying overseas all this time, making him unfamiliar with how things worked domestically.

As for Wynter, Bennett didn't take her seriously at all. After all, what could a girl possibly know about this? But his smile froze the next second.

Wynter, who he had underestimated, was now looking at him with a mischievous, almost sinister expression. "So, which customs is this batch of goods going through?"

Benette hesitated before trying to explain.

Wynter casually played with her car keys. "The way you said it, it sounds like the goods might be illegal. But it seems that Cyrus will be the one taking responsibility for it if this is exposed."

Benette suddenly looked up in alarm, and even Bryson couldn't stay seated.

Benette quickly shook his hand when Cyrus glanced over. "That's not what I meant at all. It's just that some paperwork is missing, but the goods are all legal."

"Luxury goods with missing paperwork can be fatal. Cyrus isn't very perceptive about these things. But for someone who has been in the business this long, you're telling me you don't know?"

Wynter turned sideways with a sharp gaze. "Where did the goods come from? Will you tell me now, or should I have you explain it to the authorities in prison?"

Benette was dumbfounded. He never expected someone so seemingly harmless to suddenly change her demeanor and deduce so many accurate details from just a casual mention! His anxiety grew, and sweat began to bead on his forehead.

Bryson, who was sitting by the door, immediately tried to make a run for it. He didn't think Wynter could react fast enough.

However, as he was about to open the door, a pen flew past him. It embedded itself into the door handle, just an inch from Bryson's hand.

These men had never encountered such a situation before, and Bryson's legs went weak.

Wynter approached him before snatching his phone with a raised eyebrow. "Are you trying to inform someone of the situation?"

"Cyrus!" Benette's face turned pale. "It's just a misunderstanding! We're buddies, right? You need to do something about your cousin. Let's talk about it. The batch of goods-"

Cyrus didn't wait for him to finish before punching him.

"Have you really ever thought of me as your buddy? You planned to throw me under the bus and tricked me into investing from the very beginning. I took the store as a serious business.

"What about you? You don't even manage the employees. You were chilling upstairs, discussing pretty girls. I used to think you were just like this by nature, but now I realize what a fool I am!"

Cyrus had always wondered why Noah seemed to maintain a distance from Kenton. He had thought that since the Wray family and theirs were once so close, they must be on the same side.

But now, thanks to Wynter, Cyrus finally understood what the Wrays truly were.

This was far more effective than any lecture.

Cyrus just returned from abroad and had always been a privileged child. However, in just an hour, he finally realized the reason why the many buddies he had were always flattering him.

It wasn't because of his abilities or leadership skills. It was because he was Noah's son and the Whitman family's eldest child. They targeted him precisely because he was the weakest of the Whitmans!
