Chapter 1394 They Do Not Know Each Other Well
After being together for so long, Wynter suddenly realized there was perhaps still a distance between her and Dalton.
No, "distance" wasn't quite the right word. It was more like they didn't fully understand each other yet. Her handsome fiancé always seemed to have a veil of mystery about him. To be precise, he wasn't entirely open with her. Thinking about this, Wynter felt a bit stifled in her chest.
Just as she was about to say something, her phone rang in her pocket. It was a call from the Wray Family, and it seemed urgent-otherwise, they wouldn't have called her so frantically.
She glanced at the two people in front of her.
Dalton smiled lightly. "Cyrus, if you have any questions, feel free to discuss them with Ms. Loria."
Shermaine responded quickly, "Mr. Whitman, let's step outside."
Meanwhile, Cyrus was still confused the whole time.
"Wait," Wynter said, picking up the phone. She believed in keeping work and personal matters separate. I just heard Ms. Loria came from the Wray Family's bar. Let's talk later."
Hearing this, Shermaine froze for a moment and glanced at Dalton. Seeing his indifferent expression, she understood she had to handle this herself.
She nodded stiffly. "Feel free to reach out to me anytime if you want to discuss anything, Ms. Quinnell." Watching her leave in her elegant dress, Wynter felt a bit puzzled. She raised an eyebrow slightly when they left. "Ms. Loria seems a bit afraid of me."
"Is that so?" Dalton smiled faintly while unwrapping a sandwich and handing it to her.
She took a bite and answered the call directly in front of Dalton as she didn't intend to hide anything from him. "Go ahead. What's happening with the Wray Family?"
Abel, who was on the other end of the call, could tell that she wasn't in a position to ask specific questions earlier, so he lowered his voice.
"Kenton secretly invited a few people to dinner. It's unrelated to the factory, but we're not sure what he's planning."
She grabbed Dalton's laptop with the sandwich still in her mouth. "Who did he invite? Give me their names."
"Addison Barker, Jessica Parry, and Danni McCarthy. They're not significant figures, but Kenton did make a point of inviting them to dinner."
As Abel relayed the information, Wynter quickly pulled up details on the three people. Her expression was sharp as she looked at the webpage. "They hold some quite useful positions."
"What?" Abel didn't catch what she said but felt compelled to mention, "Boss, I have a bad feeling about that scholarship fund Kenton is involved in, but it's tough to investigate. Their defenses are too tight."
Her long fingers halted when she heard what Abel said. "Is the scholarship fund active?"
"Not yet, but soon. I sense Kenton is in a hurry. I don't know what he's rushing for, but his connections are well hidden. I feel like this won't be easy.
"Boss, don't you know someone in Southdale? He's returned to Kingbourne. Maybe you should reach out.
This scholarship fund isn't something just anyone can look into."
Sensing his concern, she replied, "Alright. I'll get in touch with that person. Be careful out there. Keep that lucky coin I gave you with you at all times."
"Got it. Boss, about that lucky coin... Where did you get it?"
Wynter replied casually, "I prayed for it. Why?"
"It always feels cold, but it's brought me some luck. I almost got caught the other day, but the coin fell, and it saved me from being discovered."
Abel touched the coin in his pocket as he spoke. "Also, Boss, I looked into Yvette like you asked. She really has changed. Ever since Kenton visited her, she hasn't interacted with anyone much."
Wynter seemed to have caught onto something. "Did Kenton meet those three people before or after that day?"
