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

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

and untrustworthiness.”
