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

Chapter 1416 Husband and Wife Duo

Everyone visibly relaxed with the "demon lord" taken away.

However, there were still tasks to be completed. For instance, the bidding that Dalton had instructed them to pursue against the Wray family.

To ensure that Kenton felt the pressure, they leveraged their connections but used them sparingly. They were cautious because an accidental successful bid could complicate matters, and they wanted to avoid any messy outcomes.

If it were before, Kenton would be furious if someone tried to snatch something he had his eyes on. Of course, he wasn't entirely pleased now, either, since it was just too unfortunate. "The Yarwood family is said to have conducted a site assessment," Adrien reported.

Kenton's eyes darkened slightly as he considered this information. After a moment, he said, "It's not entirely a bad thing."

Not a bad thing? Adrien held the information he received tightly. "But the price will definitely go up with the Yarwood family bidding."

"So what if it doubles?" At this point, Kenton wasn't too concerned about how much he had to invest.

The Yarwood family had always gotten what they targeted. Their involvement meant that the land was indeed valuable, which only served to confirm Yvette's predictions.

Kenton's eyes lit up. "Have the finance department prepare an additional 200 million."

200 million wasn't significant enough to shake the group's foundation, but seeing that much cash leaving the accounts was still unsettling for Adrien.

Perhaps he wasn't fully in sync with Kenton's way of thinking, or maybe the conference already had a concrete plan. After all, the applications had already been submitted.

In any case, the results would be clear in five days once the conference concluded. Adrien didn't dwell too much on it. He knew the focus now was on securing the investment.

The market was closed on weekends, so the real action would start on Monday. Adrien understood this well, and so did Wynter.

Wynter wasn't bringing Dalton along for a simple date. Her sports car was parked in front of the trading platform.

Many people turned to look when they got out. After all, they were a good-looking couple. Especially with a CEO-like presence coming from Dalton, they caught a lot of attention.

Dalton typically avoided crowded places except when accompanying Wynter.

"Didn't you hand over the account details to me? What are we doing here?" Dalton pulled her back as Wynter tried to move ahead.

Wynter glanced back and whispered, "Maintain some distance, Mr. Yarwood. I'm your secretary now."

"Secretary?" Dalton raised an eyebrow before quickly getting into the role. "Since when do secretaries walk ahead of the boss?"

Wynter considered his words for a moment before slowing her pace. "Fine."

Dalton continued walking slowly. "So, Ms. Secretary, what's the purpose of bringing me here?"

"Mainly to chat with the older folks and express your confidence in gold valuation." Wynter loved collaborating with Dalton. It was effortless since he always knew what she wanted.

Dalton smiled. He always carried an air of aloofness despite his charming appearance. His inherent nobility became even more apparent especially when he lifted his eyes slightly." Am I supposed to chat with them?"

For someone like Dalton, who could bring in millions with just a few words at a casual overseas meeting, this was indeed quite an extravagant use of his time.

However, Wynter had her own ideas. "You're bound to appeal to the older folks with your looks."

Dalton was truly speechless.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Wynter continued flattering him. "Someone like Cyrus wouldn't do. Your staff might be okay, but they don't have that charm to make the older ladies swoon, either."

Dalton halted. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and a smirk tugged at his lips. "You're quite thoughtful, Ms. Secretary."

So, she brought him here to make the older ladies swoon...

"Nah, it wasn't much. It was just a spontaneous idea." Wynter was quite pleased with her wits. After all, she felt it would be a waste not to make use of him, especially after witnessing the scene where he was standing next to that off-road vehicle.
