Chapter 1620 The Whitman Family's Ruin
Edison's expression instantly turned sour. After all, Taylor was speaking the truth.
Both Fredric and Judah had initially planned to bring the Whitman family into their fold, particularly hoping to win Noah over by leveraging the Montclairs as a breakthrough. However, Tamia failed to convince him.
Tamia often boasted that Noah listened to Ophelia and believed they could manipulate him. However, they had failed to settle the divorce case and ended up in prison, which only deepened Judah's admiration for Noah.
Fredric noted that Judah once remarked how much simpler things would be if Noah had worked for him.
Such feelings of inferiority fueled Edison's spite. "I don't think you understand your situation, Mr. Whitman. Mr. Whitman Senior has been going around pleading for help, but that only proves futile.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
"You and your family are too arrogant to see who you've offended, especially that niece of yours. She never should have investigated the school, and now she'll be stuck behind bars. What do you think will become of the Whitman family?"
"That's enough, Edison!" Stetson walked over and shot Edison a warning glare.
If Edison rambled further, he might reveal certain truths. Stetson decided to have a word with him.
Upon meeting Stetson's glare, Edison was so shaken that cold sweat broke out on his back.
"You're one of the decision-makers now, Edison. Show a little compassion. The Whitman family is temporarily affected and will return once the commotion dies down.
"Why don't you head back first, Noah? I'll find a solution by then," Stetson advised as he patted Noah's shoulder. He couldn't afford to have his own facade exposed, especially considering his affiliation with Fredric. Even at that point, he maintained a fair and impartial front.
Before Noah could respond, Taylor glanced around and declared, "We've wanted to leave this organization for a long time. We wouldn't really stick around if it weren't for the sake of the founder, Mr. Gordon.
"That said, I never imagined the Chamber of Commerce, once united against foreign forces, would end up like this. The same goes for you, Mr. Leftnan.
"Sevie is Mr. Gordon's descendant, yet you support her removal from the list and force us to take a leave. Are you really letting the treacherous Waldrons take our place? Mr. Leftnan, I can't help but reminisce..."
Noah swiftly cut Taylor off, yet he maintained a respectful demeanor toward Stetson. "Please don't take Taylor's words to heart, Mr. Leftnan. He can be quite impulsive.
"I've seen the vote count, so the Whitman family will respect the final outcome. What the future holds will be addressed at a later time."
Stetson was pleased with Noah's attitude. "You're as sensible as ever, Noah. Take this chance and get some rest. Also, inform Reuben about the situation here. I'm sorry about Wynter. There's not much I can do.
"I suggest you educate her properly. Don't spoil her just because she's the youngest. If her elders neglect her, she'll face serious consequences from the world. Besides, what she did was a felony."
"I'll keep your advice in mind, Mr. Leftnan." Noah gave an ambiguous reply, though others failed to decipher his true meaning.
The security guards didn't even bother to show the Whitman brothers respect. They stormed into the room and ordered disdainfully, "In that case, I ask that both of you leave. Outsiders are not allowed during the meeting."
