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

Chapter 1309 Need Time to Process It

Even during the earlier commotion, Wynter had not seen Reuben react at all. Now, sitting beside him, she could clearly sense the complexity of Reuben’s emotions.

“In the past, the Chamber of Commerce united to gain a foothold internationally during economic hardships. Now, we’re relying on a foreigner. It’s truly ironic.”

“Dad.” Taylor wanted to comfort him.

Reuben looked up and said, “I’m fine. It’s no use blaming others. After all, businessmen are driven by profit. No one wants their company to go bankrupt, especially when there are so many people depending on them.”

He didn’t fault those who left their seats. Everyone needed to survive. But in such circumstances, was this still the Southern Cascadia Chamber of Commerce it used to be?

Wynter understood what Reuben was thinking and turned her gaze back to Lucius. She wondered if this was the man who secretly admired Marie. He did look quite handsome and young, though he was difficult to approach.

If Lucius did end up supporting her as he said he would, she might reconsider her strategy.

However, one thing about Wynter was that she never relied on others to determine the outcome. Wynter decided it was best to first have a private conversation and ensure it was done discreetly.

She felt it was important to also coordinate with Reuben beforehand. So, without delay, she leaned in and whispered, “Grandpa, are you aware that this mixed–race gentleman has feelings for Mom?”

Reuben was visibly taken aback. In all his years in the business world, he had always maintained a calm demeanor, given his scholarly family background.

Now, seeing Reuben’s reaction, even Taylor was curious about what Wynter had said to make him react this way.

Rueben took a while to regain his composure before finally saying, “Wynter, you aren’t joking, are you?”

“Of course not. Grandpa, you might not know this, but my Grandpa Gordon left a few people behind for me.” Wynter thought for a while before continuing, “I’ve looked into some gossip about

Mom and this man.”

Reuben was rendered completely speechless before he spoke again, “You… Give me a moment to process this first.”
