Chapter 1199 The Wray Family
Fabian had been consumed by guilt over Shane’s misdeeds.
Understanding his distress, Warren shifted the conversation and mentioned Tobias‘ endorsement.
He added, “Ms. Marie has made a brilliant and flawless decision. The Wrays might have a hard time stirring conflict.
“I believe blood is always thicker than water. The Whitmans will come to acknowledge Ms. Marie and Ms. Wynter.
“Besides, the scions from the Whitmans used to adore Ms. Wynter as well. They’ll surely attempt to reach out to her.”
Fabian stood with his dragon cane as he looked out of the window. The Wray family has absorbed many companies throughout the years. Some of our partners can hardly survive under their rule.
“As for the Southern Cascadia Chamber of Commerce… I only hope Sevie perceives my thoughtful intent.”
Warren comforted him. “Ms. Wynter is a smart girl. I’m sure she’ll understand your ambition.
“Besides, Mr. Albert willingly suggesting going to Hawford validates your decision. I’m sure none of the ancestors would have wanted to
see the fall of the Chamber of Commerce.”
Looking up, Warren continued, “The Quinnell family hasn’t changed. This is something everyone has anticipated, including yourself.
“And now, our time has come. Entrusting the company to Ms. Wynter
is just the first step. Hawford presents a more challenging and
complex environment compared to Kingborne, but that’s not a
concern.
“What’s important is ensuring the Chamber of Commerce remains in the Cascadians‘ hands. That is our legacy.”
As he spoke, Warren cast his eyes downwards. “I’m truly grateful that Ms. Sevie is here. She has fulfilled many of my regrets. She’s a
remarkable leader, and I believe she’ll let an old man like me reflect on the past with fondness.”
Indeed, an average business person could never restore the Southern Cascadian Chamber of Commerce to its former glory.
With how the world had changed, it was difficult to find loyal followers who would adhere to their rigid rules. Warren could only pray for a miracle.
“In that case, let’s look forward to Wynter making waves in Hawford!” Fabian gazed at Warren with a hearty laugh.
It seemed the city was in for a sleepless night ahead.
In contrast to Fabian’s cheerfulness, the Wray family was enveloped
in glum. Upon learning the Wrays had delivered an invitation to
Wynter, their allies couldn’t help expressing their confusion.
Kenton gently blew on his coffee before setting the cup down. “It’s
not my decision to make. Someone from the Darnell family requested
it.”
“Are you talking about that person? Has he returned to Hawford?”
Someone wore a pale expression at Kenton’s words.
“What’s with the face, Callum? You had a weird look when you heard
about him.” Kenton chuckled.
“That guy really roughed me up back in school,” came the reply. The others instantly burst into laughter.
“That said, the Darnells rarely involve themselves in official affairs. Why did they decide to step in now?” one questioned curiously.
Kenton gave a casual shrug. “Who knows? It’s not a big concern,
anyway. That person has beef with the Quinnells. There’s no way he’ll
stand by their side.
“He might have sent the invitation to embarrass them. Moving on, I’ve
gathered everyone here to hear your thoughts.”
Kenton gestured to open the box behind him, leaving everyone
astounded. Though they were no strangers to money, they couldn’t
help but marvel at the hefty sum.
“Here’s the deposit. You know we’re currently short a key member. In
fact, Ms. Clinton has repeatedly expressed her interest in investing in
the Chamber of Commerce,” Kenton explained.
