Chapter 416 They Had No Idea They Were the Joke
“It’s not quite right to say that. Tobias gives amazing performances. Posting a photo or video of yourself with him now will quickly make you go viral.”
“Well, the Quinnell family is also going viral right now. He’s only acknowledged his biological sister and has been making Naomi look bad, hasn’t he? Mark my words. Sooner or later, he’ll be dragged down by
that bumpkin.”
When Naomi read that, she gave a timely response. “Wendy, it’s normal for Tobias not to acknowledge me. I’m just a sponsee of the Quinnell family.”
“Don’t give me that. Mrs. Quinnell lost her mind back then. Nobody knows what the Quinnells would be like today if you hadn’t been there. Now that the bumpkin is here, they want to disown you, and they’ve
even made the hotel’s rating plummet during the mess.”
“Wendy, Dad has always treated me well. He’s trying to fix this right now. Let’s stop talking about my
sister.”
Wendy Winston was Logan’s cousin and had been close to Naomi since childhood. They even attended the same college but were in different departments. She was well–known on campus. Though she appeared to be wealthy and outgoing, she had always alienated others, even over trivial matters.
Essentially, their social circle was headed by the younger members of the Quinnell, Winston, Scott, and Fenton families. Scions from other affluent families were also in it.
Wendy had always been a spoiled young lady. She was fearless.
Almost everything she and Naomi said dictated the course of events in the circle.
The six brothers of the Quinnell family did not hang out with them. As a result, Naomi, the adopted daughter, became the representative of the Quinnells‘ younger generation.
The Yarwood family was not like the other four families. Their wealth and prestige far surpassed the others. So, they were unconcerned about social circles and did not join the group.
In the hotel, Logan was holding his phone, infuriated.
“Wynter, have these people lost their mind or something?”
Wynter had just helped her mother calm down. Logan’s words were the first thing she heard when she
came out.
“Who are they?” She was parched. She looked at Dalton, then at the cup of tea in his hands.
Dalton gave her an attractive’smile before moving the cup to her lips.
Logan froze in the middle of opening the group chat.
He was stunned by how professional Dalton seemed to be waiting on Wynter.

The group chat would go mad if they saw this.
It appeared to him that Wynter had treated Dalton as her gigolo. As soon as she sat down and nodded, Dalton voluntarily peeled a fruit for her.
Most importantly, with Dalton’s noble and aloof bearing, he didn’t appear like the typical gigolo.
He appeared more like a demon from a fairy tale that she had tamed, cunning yet gentle.
Dumbstruck, Logan briefly forgot to speak.
“Well? Who are they?” With her energy restored, Wynter asked again.
Logan handed her his phone and raised his right hand in an oath. “All I said was that you were brought back from the mountains at the start. I didn’t say anything else after that. Austin was quite involved. You
can stop trying to save him, Wynter.”
Wynter looked at the group chat before bringing up the members list, swiping up and down a few times,
and handing Dalton the phone.
“Take a look to see if there is anyone from your family. I don’t want to harm any allies by accident when I go all out.”
Dalton’s mirthful eyes turned cold after he read what the group had been discussing. “Kingbourne
socialites?”
When he said that, he was looking at Logan.
Logan’s back stiffened. At that moment, he could see the coldness in Dalton’s expression.
“I… I honestly never said anything about Wynter.”
Only then did Logan realize that everyone in the group was probably doomed.
Putting aside how impressive Wynter was, even Dalton could make them suffer greatly.
Wynter raised her brow and poked Dalton’s face. “Look for your family members.”
“There’s none. The Yarwood family is no match for those at this level.” Even though Dalton was grinning, he never took his eyes off Logan. The pressure was bearing down on Logan.
