Chapter 1175 The Capital
“Everyone has their own career at this point. She’s the only one who has achieved nothing, gone completely mad, and now wants to reconcile with the Whitman family. I can’t tell if she’s naive or just plain stupid.”
Lynette’s words were directed at the person sitting behind her. As she spoke, the person stood up, gradually revealing their face.
It was none other than Madeline.
“She probably doesn’t know that in Hawford’s capital circle, the Wray family’s influence is on par with the Whitman family’s. Especially you, Lynette. Everyone
knows about the club you run.
“As for Marie, she’s so out of touch. At first, I thought she was impressive because of how famous she was as Hawford’s Red Rose. She probably is just all show.”
Madeline chuckled softly, clearly belittling one while praising the other.
Lynette liked what she was hearing. She took a sip of coffee before commenting, “It’s a pity she didn’t listen to me about going to Ms. Yates.”
“Ms. Yates?” Madeline was puzzled. “Lynette, why did you want her to see Ms. Yates?

Lynette didn’t care much. “My brother asked me to tell her that. Who knows what they’re up to again? But from the looks of it, it’s probably his insatiable lust acting up
again.”
Lynette sneered. “It’s one thing to fool around outside, but is he trying to be a stepfather? The child is already so grown.”
“You mean, Mr. Wray…” Madeline seemed to have stumbled upon a shocking piece
of gossip.
Lynette looked at her reflection, still not quite satisfied with the right side of her face.
“Kenton has always liked Marie. He’s been restless since he heard she was coming back. But it’s just because he couldn’t have her before that he wants her now. He

would never get divorced and marry Marie.
“Don’t worry. It’s not the end of the issue with your daughter. If Marie wants to come back, she’ll have to get past me first.”
“I knew you’d stand up for me. The Quinnell family has completely disregarded us,” Madeline complained, fanning the flames on purpose.
Lynette sneered. “That was in Kingbourne. The Capital has already taken action.
They won’t have an easy time in Hawford.”
Hearing that the Capital had taken action, Madeline knew everything was set in
motion. She thought that Wynter was overconfident.
Madeline hadn’t wanted to stoop to the level of dealing with someone much
younger. However, the issue with Phoebe almost implicated the Boyd family and
even affected her position at the law firm.
Since the other party was so inconsiderate of the Boyd family’s reputation, it was
time for Wynter to taste the bitterness of being suppressed by the Capital!
Lynette still felt uneasy because of Marie’s beauty.
“How has she stayed the same all these years? It’s like she’s frozen in time. Her face
hasn’t changed at all.” Lynette seemed to be talking to herself, yet it also felt like she was asking Madeline.
The Boyd family only rose to prominence later on. Madeline, too, came from an
unknown background.
If Lynette was Marie’s follower in the past, Madeline was someone who couldn’t
even get into their social circles.
She had never seen Marie in person. However, she had heard about Hawford
University’s dazzling and enchanting campus beauty.
Seeing her just now, Madeline was stunned and took a long time to recover. If she
hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn’t have believed that someone could
take care of themselves so well.
Despite being peers, Marie looked like she was just over 30. How could anyone not
be jealous? Moreover, her flawless and smooth skin made anyone who saw it want
