The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call

Chapter 306 Thick-skinned

Nelson’s expression darkened gradually with Wynter’s every word.

She might as well have mentioned the Shepherds by name if she was going to be that obvious with her retort.

Anyone who heard her immediately understood what Wynter was

implying. The contemptuous looks they cast Nelson cut him open like

daggers.

Nelson didn’t expect Wynter to be so sharp-tongued. She had put down the Shepherds in public without even breaking a sweat.

At first, he thought she would be easily manipulated given her history with Charlie. According to Charlie, Wynter was still pining over him,

and her indifference back at the manor had been a mere act.

With all this in mind, Nelson had approached Wynter to let everyone

see that the Shepherds and Jackson’s favorite mentee were on friendly terms. He never expected to be humiliated by her.

To add salt to injury, Wynter pointed out dryly, “May I remind you, Mr. Shepherd, that it was Charlie who wanted to kick me out of this ceremony? You tried to pass that off as a misunderstanding, but it does make me wonder about Shepherds’ arrogance.

“Did you assume I was playing hard-to-get when I said I had not

interest in Charlie whatsoever? Did you also assume that I turned up

today just so I could beg Charlie to take me back?

I have nothing else to say about his bad grades, terrible personality,

and untrustworthiness.”
