Chapter 890 The Truth
Budd was about to lose his temper when Wynter gestured for him to calm down. She took Jone’s hand off him. Jone’s instincts told him that he was finished. He had not forgotten what Wynter did in his dreams.
Wynter bent down, seemingly a little curious. “Why did you call Dulcie poor? Can you tell me about it?”
Kate let her guard down upon seeing how Wynter looked quite fashionable and was wearing branded shoes.
“Nothing much. Everyone knows that she’s not local. She doesn’t have much money or connections. Isn’t she poor then?
“Not everyone can go to our school. I really don’t know why she insists on coming to our school when she’s not at our level. But, I mean, it’s school, right? There will always be some people who don’t fit in,” Kate said casually.
Wynter smiled. “And those people that don’t fit in are the poor?”
“Of course.” Kate nodded. “We have a clear division. We know everything about each other’s families. Some of the poor are still quite obedient. Dulcie just had low emotional intelligence!”
Wynter noticed that Kate still had some makeup residue on her eyelid. Although she should not judge a person by it, she could still understand a person through their image.
was natural for a girl to like makeup. Putting on heavy makeup at an inappropriate age could just be attributed to teenage rebellion.
Wynter asked, “In what way did Dulcie have low emotional intelligence?”
Budd could not listen to their words any further. His eyes reddened, but his gut was telling him that Wynter was helping him. He turned to look away. He held his sobbing wife’s hand.
At this moment, Kate suddenly was on guard. She looked up. “Nothing much. She just didn’t get along with us.
“Your father works at a TV station, while your grandfather and mother work in a bank, right?” Wynter no longer asked about Dulcie. Instead, she switched her focus to Kate’s family.
Kate was surprised. “How did you know?”
“I’m a client of your grandfather,” Wynter said calmly. “Logically speaking, if I wanted to cause your grandfather any trouble, he could be investigated tomorrow morning. As for your father, it’s easier to get him fired from the TV station.”
Jone’s legs turned into jelly. “Ms. Quinnell, I—”
“So, do you want to tell the truth or not? This has to do with whether your family can continue earning a living or not.” Wynter looked at Kate.
“I’m guessing that the thing you’re most proud of is your grandfather’s job, right? If he goes to prison, will

you become the poor you mentioned in your school?”
Although Kate was young, she had learned a lot from school. Upon seeing her father’s reaction, she knew that Wynter was not bluffing. Her grandfather might really lose his job!
“I’ll say it!” Kate said anxiously. “Miss, I swear I never bullied her. I just didn’t want to play with her. She insisted on standing up for someone. On top of that, she looks quite pretty, which was why she…”
At that point, Kate stopped. She seemed a little worried. “Miss, please don’t tell anyone that I was the one who told you all this. She really offended someone she should not have offended. I wouldn’t dare to offend that person either.”
