Chapter 1489 Wynter's Identity Is Exposed
Clement was a legendary figure everyone talked about in Hawford's investment circles. There were even absurd rumors that went around, believing that whatever he touched would turn into gold.
Whether it was the stock market or a company, as long as it was something he was interested in, the prospects would soar. For years, aristocratic families tried to recruit him, but he never showed up.
Even Kenton had tried to lure him into his company. After all, who wouldn't want such a legendary figure for themselves?
Nevertheless, Clement went to no one. He even rejected the Chamber of Commerce. But now, was he calling someone his boss? Could he be tied to foreign investors?
Cassian was no longer able to keep his usual calm. He knew Kenton played dirty, but he never expected him to go this far.
How dare he target his daughter? If it hadn't been for someone stepping in, Zara would have been kidnapped! Those men even planned to assault her!
Initially, all Cassian wanted was to quietly walk away from this mess. His sole goal was to not be the
scapegoat for anyone. But now? Now he was both afraid and furious. He was terrified of Kenton but hated him just as much.
He didn't know why Clement decided to step in and help him, either.
Cassian was anxious as he took the phone. "Hello..."
"This is Wynter speaking. I'm sure you've heard of me, so there's no need for any further introduction," Wynter spoke with a usual nonchalant tone.
But Cassian felt a chill run down his spine. Was the person who Clement called his boss her? He never would've guessed it.
After all, everyone knew about that time when Wynter was doing laps around their office building in her sports car. She was the epitome of a spoiled rich kid and was just another wealthy scion they were all used to seeing.
But now, he'd just heard Clement call her his boss! Did the people at the Southern Cascadia Chamber of Commerce or Kenton know about this?
Cassian stammered, "M-Ms. Quinnell?"
"That's me. You know the kind of relationship I have with the Wray family-we're like oil and water," Wynter replied casually. "And since I had someone rescue you, I also know exactly why Kenton used those tactics on you.
"But listen carefully, Cassian Tucker, I'm not someone who likes to make things difficult for others. However, you have a lot of money that passed through your hands-money that appears out of nowhere.
"So, what's it going to be? Are you going to turn yourself in, or spend the rest of your life in fear of your wife's and child's safety?
"I'm sure you know the economic laws better than I do. If you turn yourself in and provide evidence, your sentence could be reduced.
"But if you don't care about what Kenton did to you... I can have my people pull back from your home right now."
Wynter's words were sharp and straightforward, leaving no room for confusion. Cassian knew exactly what she meant. If he didn't come forward to take down the Wray family, she would withdraw her protection.
He clenched his fists. The image of Zara nearly being assaulted was still fresh in his mind. The Wray family truly feared nothing. And with the secrets he held, Kenton would never let him live in peace.
Of course, Cassian wanted to hand over everything he had. Turning himself in wasn't a big deal to him.
However, there was still one thing bothering him. He rubbed his face and replied, 'Ms. Quinnell, I do want to agree with your proposal, but you don't understand.
"Over the years, many people have tried to take down the Wray family, and none of them have succeeded. Don't you think the situation is more complicated than it seems?
"This isn't a situation that most people can handle. Even if I go to the authorities and hand over what I have, the outcome might not be what you're expecting.
"Big scandals can get swept under the rug. After all, Kenton is a 'philanthropist.' You understand what I'm trying to tell you, don't you?"
