554 The First Person to Be Embarrassed
Some reporters were already stunned. They didn’t even need to guess Wynter’s identity.
Naomi’s look only reflected Shane’s value for her, whereas Wynter’s appearance revealed the
Quinnells’
true heiress.
None of the CEOs present expected to see this scene, nor did they expect the “bumpkin” Ms. Sevie
would
look so outstanding.
The two Quinnell scions stood on either side of her, holding her hands like gentlemen. They seemed to
dote on her.
“Mr. Quinnell, didn’t you say your sons were busy?”
Someone glanced at Shane and set down his wine glass, indicating that he wouldn’t stand by Shane’s
side.
Shane’s expression shifted as he heard such ridicule.
Meanwhile, Fabian also stepped out of the car. Elliot gave him Wynter’s hand.
Fabian patted her hand. After she took his arm, he walked forward with the dragon cane.
Fabian wore an old-fashioned attire and a gentleman’s hat. His suit’s material was identical to
Wynter’s.
They seemed to have stepped out of a painting of a prestigious family from the Victorian era.
Their outfits were consistent with their identity because they had always been “national businessmen”.
The so-called national businessman didn’t mean taking advantage of connections or taking shortcuts
when conducting business.
Throughout the most chaotic year, the Quinnells did their best to do business. They had provided all
the resources and channels needed for the revolution at that time.
Their karma had accumulated over generations, which was why s n a t c h i n g the Quinnells’ fate
wasn’t something that could be done in a day.
With Fabian’s nationalistic beliefs, the outside world wouldn’t readily conquer them.
The scene the socialites imagined of a “bumpkin” without a dress and looking embarrassed didn’t
happen.
Instead, when Wynter arrived, all of them became her foils.
Wendy was extremely jealous. She clenched her wine glass tightly. Her eyes were practically filled with
hatred.
Naomi noticed it. She whispered, pretending to be ignorant, “Is Sevie wearing a dress designed by
Lamar?”
Her sentence piqued Wendy’s interest.
She took a closer look and noticed it resembled Lamar’s style. But everyone knew Lamar never made
55. The First Person to Be Embarrassed:
Shumland-style outfits.
“Naomi, Wynter must be an idiot. She didn’t even investigate Lamar’s design style and wore a knockoff.
“She probably doesn’t even know who Lamar is and just wants to show off her pretty dress. Just
watch.” Wendy smiled and walked toward Wynter with a wine glass. She exclaimed loudly, “You must
be Ms. Sevie! Mr. Quinnell Senior has missed you all these years! Your dress is so pretty!”
Wynter glanced sideways when she heard that.
Tobias frowned. He didn’t think anyone who would approach them at such a time would be a good
person. After all, he knew everything those socialites did.
When he was about to get angry, Wynter responded lightly, “Thank you.”
She looked at Wendy meaningfully, who had also appeared in her dream.
Naomi was the one egging others on behind the scenes, while Wendy was the one openly ostracizing
others.
The Winstons had overpampered her, which made her assume nobody should be more in the limelight
than she was.
