“Yes, I’m sure. We won’t be proceeding with the collaboration. Let’s cease contact from now on,” Malik declared firmly on the phone. Upon ending the call, he felt a heavy weight. being lifted off his shoulders.
Although Malik grieved the loss of his father, he was left disheartened by Alijah’s malicious
intentions.
The chaos within the Fentons seemed to go unnoticed by the other families, who remained calm and composed.
That said, the ladies appeared full of smiles as they escorted Wynter to the door. Such a sight left their daughters stupefied, who had been eagerly expecting to see Wynter embarrass herself.
While the socialites scornfully belittled Wynter at their usual tea parties, Wynter had risen to a level they could never attain. The country bumpkin they loathed had easily brought down the Larson family without the need for socialization.
But that wasn’t all. The socialites had been falling over backward to please the difficult ladies, only to see them showering Wynter with kindness and affection. The ladies were
practically singing Wynter’s praises!
“Just what kind of spell has Wynter cast over them?” the socialites indignantly wondered
aloud. Yet, their question remained unanswered.
They were silently seething with rage. Each had planned a scenario to embarrass Wynter, but it failed before they could even execute it.
Adding to their frustration, they had to wait their turn to meet Wynter. Their fathers even
warned them to treat Wynter with respect in the future.
“Why do you want me to treat that woman with respect?” the socialites yelled out
indignantly. Used to the veneration, they refused to accept the sudden turn of events and
wreaked havoc in the house.
“You’ve raised such a good daughter!” Seamus Hoffman ridiculed his wife over their
daughter’s tantrum. He couldn’t stand the infighting in the house.
Analia Benton retorted dismissively, “You always say that. I admit we’re not as wealthy as
the Quinnells, but that doesn’t mean our daughter has to stoop so low to flatter a country
bumpkin.”

“You ignorant woman! Can’t you see how the Quinnells treated Wynter?
“And it’s not just the Fentons–the other ladies have stopped inviting you to their
gatherings, haven’t they? We’re the ones falling behind this time, not the Quinnells!”
Seamus refuted sternly.
Hearing that, Analia suddenly recalled that she hadn’t been in touch with the other ladies
for half a month. She had no idea about their recent conversations at all.
As the realization dawned upon her, Analia turned to her husband in shock.
“If you finally understand the situation, you should visit the Quinnells more. Although Marie and Shane ended up in a divorce, she’s still the mother of their children.
“Besides, Wynter couldn’t have attained such power and influence solely through the Yarwoods‘ support.
“You should’ve seen how both Mr. Quinnell Senior and her brothers dote on her! Don’t come crying when we get kicked out of the social circle,” Seamus lectured while fixing his tie.
He then strode out of the house, leaving his wife with no words to refute.
The socialites were oblivious to the recent developments during their gatherings.
Among them, some returned from abroad and intended to build a career in the country. Being educated at prestigious schools, they boasted outstanding academic records.
While the socialites dutifully pursued the paths set for them, Wynter had discreetly acquired and merged various companies under her family’s name.
She attained such success without Fabian’s assistance, let alone mapping a plan for her future.
At that point, the Quinnells were in a league of their own when it came to fame and assets.
