The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call ( Wynter Quinnell )

Chapter 1478 Wynter Has Arrived

Ophelia's eyes grew wide, and she could barely stay on her feet. On the other hand, Tamia remained impassive. Some elders grew fond of the young ones as they aged, but others became increasingly self-centered.

Since Cyrus would no longer heed her words, Tamia decided to discuss the matter more pragmatically. "To think you'd pull such a scheme. My poor grandson was beguiled and has come to loathe me

suppose the Whitmans have chosen to sever our ties. Well, let's see how you'll survive without the Montclairs."

She turned to Reuben and continued, 'Ophelia will sign the divorce papers, but she has the right to half of the marital property. I trust the Whitman family won't be so shameless as to offer nothing in return for the divorce.'

Cyrus abruptly lifted his head, realizing that Tamia was demanding the Whitman family's shares. But that wasn't all-the marital property also included the company where Noah held a stake.

Cyrus instinctively looked at Reuben, whose expression was far from pleased.

A shareholding carried significant weight in the company. If Noah and Ophelia were truly divorced, the Montclair family would be entitled to half of the Whitmans' assets.

Clenching his fists, Cyrus ignored Tamia and approached Ophelia. 'Did you plan to take away Dad's shares as well?"

When Ophelia hesitated, Tamia whispered in her ears, "You've seen how Cyrus treats you. Like father, like son. They're all an ungrateful bunch! You won't get anything without claiming those shares.

There was no doubt Ophelia would demand the shares. She couldn't simply let the Whitman family walk away without claiming anything. Since Noah insisted on the divorce, she was ready to show him the consequences of his actions.

With newfound confidence, Ophelia gazed at Cyrus and replied, "I'm legally entitled to my share of the marital property. Blame your dad for prioritizing the Whitman family without considering the Montclairs.

"We could've remained a happy family, but he chose Marie's side and refused to give you the piece of land. I can't stand him anymore."

At that point, Ophelia no longer held back her feelings and directly confronted Reuben. "I know you don't like me, Mr. Reuben. You've always been against me since my marriage.

"Even when I bore a son for the family, you treated him less favorably than your granddaughter. But now, I'm divorced.

"The Whitman family has wasted my youth. If you refuse to give me my share, you might find your names trending soon. Everyone will know how awful the values upheld by the Whitman family truly are.

"You should be aware there's a serious gender conflict in today's society. Everyone will only sympathize with a divorced woman like me.'

Cyrus was so furious that he felt a sharp pain in his chest. He couldn't believe Ophelia and Tamia dared to attempt seizing the Whitman family's shares through marriage laws and public opinion.

Before he could refute her, a soft chuckle sounded from behind. "You can go ahead and try what you suggested, Aunt Ophelia.'

It was none other than Wynter, appearing rather weary. Her eyelids slightly drooped, and the reddish tint at the corner of her eyes lent her an alluringly wicked look.

For some reason, Ophelia felt a shiver running down her spine at Wynter's calling. It was as if she had been targeted by a snake.
