Chapter 1312 Embarrassing Lynette
In the past, this kind of demeanor from Lynette might have softened Reuben’s heart. After all, no one would want to believe that a child they watched grow up could suddenly become so
unfamiliar.
But after a serious illness, with the Whitmans now at a disadvantage, everything became clear. Coupled with the fact that Wynter had pointed out the spies planted in the Whitman residence by the Wrays, Reuben had no reason to be soft–hearted anymore.
He shifted his gaze away, completely ignoring Lynette, and addressed Wynter instead. “Wynter, once your assessment is over, I’ll go with you to see your mother.”
Misunderstandings needed to be spoken about. Reuben wanted to see Marie and ask her what had truly happened back then.
Wynter smiled at his words, her bright eyes sparkling. “Alright, then. I’ll hurry.”
Marie hadn’t come in, which probably meant the Wrays had orchestrated her exclusion.
Wynter wasn’t worried about this. In fact, it was better for Marie not to be present in such a situation. This way, she could better assess Lucius.
Having spent so much time at the Whitman residence, this was the first time Lynette had been completely ignored. Not only Reuben but even Wynter didn’t spare her a single glance! It was as if she was just an insignificant figure.
This reminded Lynette of her first meeting with Marie. She had been the same way. She was aloof with no regard for anyone else, surrounded by a crowd of admirers.
What a joke! Hawford was now under the Wray family’s control!
As for Reuben, she had once hoped that Marie’s father could be her own. That way, she might also become the object of envy throughout Hawford. That was why she had always been so gentle and attentive in front of him, hoping to be adopted as his goddaughter.
But after all these years, he had never regarded her as his own daughter. It was a waste of her efforts.
The Whitmans deserved to be completely wiped out, every last one of them! Only then could the Wray family truly rise to the top!
Wynter didn’t even need to look to know what Lynette was thinking.
As she brushed past Lynette, Wynter sensed a faint, elusive energy she couldn’t quite place. The twins and Leo were restless as they reminded Wynter to be cautious.
Wynter didn’t stop. She walked ahead and stood before Lucius. “Mr. Lucius, how about we have a chat? You might be interested in the project I’m about to undertake.” Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
Before Lucius could respond, Lynette gracefully shifted aside. A cold smirk lingered at the corner of her mouth.
She shook her head slightly and addressed Wynter with a condescending tone, “Lucius never

deals with small businesses and shouldn’t be taken lightly. Perhaps you should gain more experience before approaching him.”
“Oh? Can you speak on his behalf?” Wynter was at the age when people spoke bluntly. “What’s your relationship with him?”
Lynette’s face instantly flushed red. Almost everyone present knew about her feelings for Lucius. “I
“There’s no relationship between us at all,” Lucius deep voice interrupted. His green eyes, cold and indifferent, seemed to chill the air. It made everyone who was looking at him shiver. “I don’t know her.”
Lynette’s admiration for Lucius was indeed not a secret within the Chamber of Commerce. Given the close ties between the Darnell and Wray families, many had thought that Lynette might marry into the Darnell family if she ever remarried.
But today, Lucius publicly stated that he didn’t know Lynette.
“Didn’t she say that they were schoolmates?”
“Yeah, I heard Ms. Wray mention it before.”
“What’s going on?”
