Chapter 1475 I Respect My Dad's Decision
As Wynterd had been declining requests lately, she hung up the call.
Dalton stared at her and asked, "Goldie Quinnell.. Did you choose that name yourself?"
"That's right. It suits me, don't you think?" Wynter replied with a hint of pride in her tone. She chose to confess since Dalton had overheard the ringtone. Besides, she wasn't lying about her wealth.
Dalton couldn't understand Wynter's smugness before, but now he simply raised an eyebrow and went along with her. "If that makes you happy, my dear fiancée.
Wynter was visibly thrilled, especially since she made a significant profit. Plus, Noah's decisiveness had eased many of her worries. After all, she had always found personal favors distasteful.
Since arriving in Hawford, she had been hunting for clues. Upon realizing that the misunderstanding between the Whitmans and Quinnells was due to outside interference, she turned her attention to the Montclair family.
Wynter doubted that the Montclairs were all innocent, especially Tamia. Having lived a longer life, she likely held information that others were unaware of. However, Wynter knew she couldn't circumvent Noah to confront the Montclair family.
If Noah chose to overlook the Montclairs' misdeeds for the sake of family peace, Wynter might need some time to resolve matters. Fortunately, he always stood by his family, just as Marie claimed.
The Whitman legacy was still intact. What was right would remain right, and what was wrong would remain wrong.
Even so, Tamia believed she was blameless and sought an explanation from Reuben. After the call with Kenton, she took Ophelia to the Whitman residence.
Meanwhile, Cyrus was practicing calligraphy with Reuben in the study. The two rarely shared such a close bond, though the mood was anything but relaxed, all because of Noah and Ophelia's impending divorce. Reuben glanced at Cyrus and asked, "Did your father tell you about his decision?"
Cyrus nodded slowly, seemingly lost in thought. He couldn't quite figure out his current feelings. By all rights, he should've opposed his parents' divorce. However, Noah had sent him footage showing Ophelia demanding the land from Marie.
Despite the land rightfully belonging to Wynter, Cyrus heard Ophelia asking for a larger share and insisting Wynter be removed from the project.
A lot of things had happened in the past few days. Even though Cyrus knew that Ophelia and Tamia weren't as gentle as they appeared, he couldn't help feeling disheartened at the sight of their disgraceful behavior.
With a bitter smile, Cyrus replied, "I respect my dad's decision. This might sound harsh to Mom, but if I were in his shoes, I'd probably file for a divorce, too. Grandpa, can you please not make Mom's words public, for my sake?'
"Don't worry, I won't do that. Sevie sent that footage to Noah, and your dad shared it with you. This means neither of them wants to disclose it. The Whitman family won't resort to such tricks to protect our shares.
"Noah is the eldest son in the family and your dad. He'll take your feelings into account and won't back Ophelia into a corner. Reuben sighed as he caressed Cyrus' head.
Clenching his fists, Cyrus attempted to refute when Reuben casually cut him off. "The Whitmans won't make things hard for partners they've spent years with-unless the Montclairs keep stirring troubles."
Just as Reuben finished speaking, a loud commotion sounded from the hall downstairs.
