Chapter 697 Planning to Harm Dalton
However, another person wasn’t as confident as Naomi.
In the villa, Declan stared at the chessboard on the table and didn’t move for a long time. The most recent information about Wynter was placed under the chessboard.
He was curious. She was only a girl returning from the countryside. How could she possess such abilities?
Over the years, he had learned to match his words to his actions. Even if he was emotional, he wouldn’t show it on the surface.
“Go find out what she did in Havenlight County. If she truly rescued Elliot, we should pay heed to her.”
The butler standing next to him was young. Logically speaking, he shouldn’t have been in charge of the matter, but Declan favored him.
The butler asked, “Are you worried that the Scotts incident has something to do with her?”
“Yes, because she appeared at the perfect time.”
Declan set down a chess piece. “Go back and inform your boss. I can’t offend the Yarwoods. Dalton has already made his attitude clear at the Quinnells‘ reunion banquet.
“Unless your
boss has a way to deal with Dalton. Otherwise, our cooperation won’t go smoothly.”
The young man bowed and poured Declan some tea. “I’ll convey your orders to him. Don’t worry. My boss. has a way of dealing with Dalton. After all, the medium is there.”
Declan nodded. “Those on the list are interested in joining us. Put away the offerings they gave properly. I didn’t attend the shareholders‘ meeting this time, but that girl noticed the doll. If she finds out more, we’ll be doomed.”
“We’ve been safe for so many years. The young man smiled. “We have a backer, after all. What’s more, ordinary people would never think of that place.”
Declan stood up. “You still have to pay attention to her. You may go ahead.”
The young man saluted and walked out.
Declan’s expression turned solemn. According to the plan, it wouldn’t be long before he could help Shane take over and use the latter as a puppet. Then, he would control the Quinnells behind the scenes.
Marie disappointed the Whitmans. So, if something happened, the Whitmans would consider whether to intervene in the Quinnells‘ affairs. After all, they were in Hawford.
As for his brother, he had heard that someone could make him mute.
Declan stared at the half–length mirror, pondering. It had been so long, but he had received no results. Foplyans were too slow in doing things.
Just as he was thinking, someone came outside. He immediately shifted his cunning expression to a

gentle one.
He had a principle that he wouldn’t do anything on his own. He would wait for the other party’s solution, as they had stated. Everything would be fine as long as they could deal with Dalton.
Moreover, he was ready to move some “chess pieces” he had been preparing for a long time.
In the weekly news, Quinnell Group was the most popular. Rowan woke up after a good nap, and his fever
had gone away.
The Quinnell residence was rarely lively. The maid had prepared many dishes.
Tobias came right after he got off the stage and started gossiping the minute he walked through the door. “Rowan, your trending topic is quite popular. Has your endorsement fee doubled?”
“From now on, I’ll only endorse the Quinnells‘ brands.”
Rowan, who was in a white shirt, said gently, “I’m now Wynter’s artist, so I’ll only listen to her. Now you’re still nominally my and Wynter’s competitor.”
Tobias was rendered speechless. When did he become Wynter’s competitor?
Sebastian reminded the yellow–haired Tobias from a lawyer’s perspective, “You’re signing for the
Yarwoods‘ entertainment company. Although the company you worked for was the largest in the past, Wynter has now taken over our entertainment company. There must be competition.
“You’re unlike me and Rowan. You can’t help Wynter make money. But we can.”
