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

Chapter 1667 Cleaning up the Trash

Hearing the word "special gift" made everyone present freeze in fear. They knew this meant that there was a high possibility that they would undergo thorough investigations.

If even Judah, someone with even more influence than Fredric, had fallen, they were next!

Eamon's face contorted with fear and his mind raced before he threw himself onto his knees before Wynter.

"Wynter, it was all Edison's doing! He threatened me! He said if I didn't side with him, I'd face the same fate as the Whitman family. I didn't have a choice!

"I had such a great relationship with your uncle and worked so hard for the Whitman Group all these years! Please forgive me! I beg you! I'll apologize to your uncle! I will call him right now!"

Hearing his plea, the other Chamber members crowded forward, mimicking his groveling tone.

"I'll apologize too, Ms. Quinnell! We were wrong! We'll return to the Whitman family now!"

"That's right! If it weren't for Edison's threat, he wouldn't be able to become the acting chairman!"

Edison's eyes widened, bloodshot with rage. "You ungrateful traitors! Me, threatening you? Weren't you just complaining that the Whitman family was too strict with its rules and were too old-fashioned?

"Just a few minutes ago, you people were drinking, swearing your loyalty, and saying we'd all live it up together. Now you turn around and play me for a fool!"

As he spoke, Edison pointed

Eamon. "Who was it that said the Whitman family deserve all this? It was you,

wasn't it? You want to take over the Whitman family, yet you haven't got the guts or skills!"

Eamon's face drained of color as he glanced at Wynter, visibly flustered. He then yelled at Edison, "You're trying to slander me!"

"Slandering you? I couldn't get the Whitman family removed on my own! We all had a part in it," Edison said as he had reached the point of no return.

He turned to Wynter, pleading, "I admit my mistakes, Wynter, but don't let these people deceive you. I am the one being played here.

"If we're talking about connections, I've always had the closest ties with the Whitman family. They've just been setting me up for a fall, propping me up only to pit me against them."

Edison had always been shameless. Even now, he was still trying to weasel his way out.

Wynter's gaze was calm as she watched the middle-aged men squabble. She lightly rolled a cigar between her fingers, her tone laced with disgust.

"All of you should have known this would be the result when you hid the news of my mother's return for your own selfish interests. You didn't get away with it—it's just that the time wasn't right for your punishment."

As soon as Wynter mentioned Marie, the faces of three men, especially Edison's, changed. Wynter knew full well that both he and the Wray and Montclair families were the root cause of this.

"Edison Waldron, you've wanted to replace the Whitman family for a long time now. Don't worry, jail is too light of a punishment for you. I'll make sure you taste the same bitterness everything that the Whitman family has been through."

Edison's face stiffened. He didn't quite understand what she meant.

"As for you all?" Wynter's voice dropped lower. "None of you are innocent. You've broken the law, engaged in malicious competition, and spread rumors about domestic brands."

She looked up. "Take them away. Let the courts decide their fates. If they want to file a lawsuit, that's fine, too. The Quinnell's Legal Department is always ready to engage."

"Understood." With that, a dozen or so people in uniforms rushed in.
