?Chapter 1325 A Fake Genius
Those who sided with Wynter exchanged knowing nces. While some remained puzzled, others could hardly contain their excitement.
Reuben burst into heartyughter as he beamed at Wynter with pride. "As expected of my granddaughter, you''re truly a reminiscence of my younger years. It''s a shame my sights were set in the past.
"With your sharp instincts and skills, you don''t need to consult Taylor regarding business. He''s stillcking and won''t be able to teach you much."
Taylor had a conflicted expression, feeling that Reuben was being unfair. Before Wynter''s arrival, Reuben had praised him for his business acumen. Yet, he was now dismissed as inadequatepared to Wynter.
That said, Taylor was genuinely impressed by Wynter''s tactics. Leaving aside the auction''s specifics, she had brilliantly fooled Kenton and his associates with a simple calction. Taylor could hardly suppress his smile, feeling immensely proud of his niece.
Being polite as ever, Wynter responded to Reuben''sment with sincerity. "Even so, I still need to learn from Uncle Taylor. I''d feel more assured if he guided me on certain business matters."
Taylor understood that Wynter was honoring him with respect in front of others. In truth, he could already tell Wynter possessed both the talent and experience needed for business. He couldn''t help but wonder if her achievements in Kingbourne were more than just rumors. While some were still bewildered, those who sided with Yvette were on the brink of a breakdown. Instead of admiration, they now gazed at her with doubts and skepticism.
Having faced simr stares in Kingbourne, Yvette felt a deep sense of unease and difort. She was determined not to return to her miserable life and thought of an excuse to save her own skin.
"It was all too sudden. I couldn''t make my prediction in time," Yvette exined with a pale face. Though she wasn''t certain if anyone would believe her, she had to take her chances. After all, she did bring them financial returns from stock investments.
Despite his infuriation, Kenton had no choice but to cover for Yvette. He still needed her for his grand Ponzi scheme, after all.
Kenton hurriedly echoed, "It''s true that Ms. Yates didn''t receive a reading in her divination."
"What should we do now, Mr. Wray? We can''t join the Chamber of Commerce now!" some businessmenined. They had offered sincere gifts to Kenton in exchange for his guarantee of their admission.
Kenton''s brooding expression deepened into a scowl in response to their outcry. "Quit yapping. We''ve only lost the auction, and the profit ratio has yet to be determined. There''s no need to be so anxious."
"But how are we going topete against them with just a phone holder? I don''t understand. If Ms. Yates is truly aspetent as you im, why didn''t she catch on to M: Quinnell''s provocations in the first round?
"Instead, she ended up spending half of our funds on the first item! Is she truly proficient i business?" someone expressed their skepticism.
Hearing that, Yvette was seething inside. If Wynter hadn''t tricked her, she wouldn''t be facing such criticism.
Kenton took a deep breath and exined, "Business is not Ms. Yates'' strong suit. Besides that girl isn''t as smart as you think. Mr. Whitman Senior probably gave her some pointers "Exactly. I doubt she''ll get far with her schemes," someone echoed.Original from N?velDrama.Org.
