Chapter 545
545 Dalton Is Courting Wynter
Naomi held Wendy’s hand. “Wendy, let’s not talk about it anymore.”
“Why not? I’ve never seen this happen before.” Wendy was indignant. “Don’t worry, even if he doesn’t
invite you, we’ll take you inside. Mr. Quinnell won’t let you be bullied, either.
“Besides, if you don’t go, you won’t be able to watch the show.”
“That’s right, Naomi. You have to go. You need to show her she can’t ever compare to you!”
“They don’t know what kind of a woman she is. Now that she doesn’t have a dress to wear, it’ll be
hilarious if she orders one from Temu in haste,”
The young ladies burst into another round of laughter.
Naomi repeated that it wasn’t good to laugh at others like that, but she didn’t have any intention of
stopping them.
She needed to gather their energy as that was the only way to generate medical incense of better
quality.
She glanced at their hair accessories, feeling considerably more at ease.
Wendy was still chatting away. “I’ve asked Logan about the thing you wanted to know.”
“What did he say?” Naomi looked at her, looking anxious.
Wendy noticed. “Naomi, aren’t you a little too nervous? Logan just plays around a lot. Grandpa Clyde
got angry at Logan because of the situation with the Scotts.
“Logan and Mason are close, but Logan didn’t help them out this time. Because of that, the business
partnership between the two families has been postponed. Grandpa Clyde is very unhappy.”
“Logan left the group because of that?” Something felt off to Naomi.
“That’s what he said. He said he was in a bad mood. You know how devoted he is to Grandpa Clyde. If
only you showed this level of concern for Chad, you’d have been part of our family by now.”
“Wendy, you know I only have eyes for one person.” Naomi looked her straight in the eye and added,
“Just like you.”
Wendy blushed as she remembered that elegant and charming man. “Indeed, no one can compare to
him.
“Yeah, so I’m actually quite jealous of Wynter.” Naomi instigated, “We’ve been around him for so long,
yet he might not even recognize us. But the moment Wynter returns, she’s presented to him as his
fiancé.
“Wendy, are my thoughts wrong?”
Wendy seemed to grow angry. “What do you mean wrong? Your feelings for the Yarwoods are sincere.
Even I’d admit I can’t compare to you. I would’ve accepted it if I lost to you, but Wynter’s just a country
bumpkin.

“She’s just taking advantage of a broken promise made from their childhood.”
Wendy’s disdain was evident. “How could she be worthy of someone as pure as him?”
“But I heard he’s courting Sevie.” It was obvious who they were referring to.
Wendy snickered. “That’s ridiculous gossip. You know how unreliable the rumors in our circle are. Only
some of them are true.
“The Quinnells must have deliberately leaked the news to save that bumpkin’s dignity. I’ve also looked
into it. The earliest source of this news came from Ronan.
“Even though he’s from a reputable family and has a good standing in the antique circle, deep down,
he
owes a lot to Mr. Quinnell Senior. Of course, he’s inclined toward the Quinnell family.”
Wendy thought she was smart. She continued, “Think about it, Naomi. Does he look like someone who
will court a woman? The Quinnells are using him.”
Wendy glanced at the painting beside her. “But it’s better that way. I’ve saved all the information I
found.
I’ll thoroughly humiliate that country bumpkin at the banquet!
“They can spread rumors to elevate her status, but spreading news that Dalton is courting her? The
Quinnells are so far gone that they’re willing to sacrifice their dignity.”
Wendy was full of resentment. “I’m not only going to ruin her reputation in Kingbourne. I want her to
remember not to covet anything that’s not hers!”
