Chapter 10
Leaning against the bike with her legs, Wynter casually looked over. She exuded a strong presencethat demanded attention.
Ewan glanced at her. He held back his irritation as he shoved the bank card into her hand. Then, hesaid lowly, “Wynter, take the money and go.”
Today was Yvette’s apprenticeship in medicine, and he didn’t want any unforeseen incidents.
Wynter was initially lounged casually and unimpressed. She couldn’t help but smirk at his words.
Fifty thousand? Offering assistance? Taking the money and leaving?
The Yates family seemed eager to cast her as a penny–pinching “poor relative” at any cost.
Just when everyone thought Wynter would take the card and leave, she surprised them all. In one swiftmotion, she tossed the bank card back at him, decisive and precise!
The crowd froze.
Wanda couldn’t contain herself, screaming, “What are you doing! We’re trying to help you. Don’t takeadvantage!”
“Help me?” Wynter propped her chin. She was smiling softly. “Ms. Scott, I’m not interested in acting outyour drama.
He looked at Wynter and said, “Considering where you’re from, you lack sophistication. We won’tengage with you at that level.”
Then, he turned to Wanda and remarked, “Be more cautious when helping others in the future, lestyour kindness be mistaken.”
Wanda’s hostility was evident as she continued to gaze at Wynter.
Wynter held Wanda’s gaze, her stunning appearance and enigmatic eyes leaving others puzzled.
Wanda was almost losing her composure again due to her attitude.
“Mom, don’t be upset over an outsider,” Yvette remarked, linking her arm with Wanda’s. ” MadamGibson has a relaxed demeanor. She won’t lose her temper over some rumor.”
This was a gentle reminder for Wanda to stay composed without risking her image.
Wanda quickly got it, sighing. “I’ve totally screwed up by trying to help.”
Yvette reassured her, “Mom, you’re not wrong. Nowadays, people have big egos. Handing a bank carddirectly might make sensitive folks feel disrespected.”
Was she implying Wynter was too needy? Wynter looked at them.
Yvette was quite sneaky. Yet, earlier in the morning, she had seen Wynter through the car window,knowing she was here to treat someone. Had Yvette already forgotten?
