Chapter 306 Thick-skinned Nelson's expression darkened gradually with Wynter's every word.
She might as well have mentioned the Shepherds by nif she was going to be that obvious with her retort.
Anyone who heard her immediately understood what Wynter was implying. The contemptuous looks they cast Nelson cut him open like daggers.
Nelson didn't expect Wynter to be so sharp-tongued. She had put down the Shepherds in public without even breaking a sweat.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt first, he thought she would be easily manipulated given her history with Charlie. According to Charlie, Wynter was still pining over him, and her indifference back at the manor had been a mere act.
With all this in mind, Nelson had approached Wynter to let everyone see that the Shepherds and Jackson's favorite mentee were on friendly terms. He never expected to be humiliated by her.
To add salt to injury, Wynter pointed out dryly, "May I remind you, Mr. Shepherd, that it was Charlie who wanted to kickout of this ceremony? You tried to pass that off as a misunderstanding, but it does makewonder about Shepherds' arrogance.
"Did you assI was playing hard-to-get when I said I had not interest in Charlie whatsoever? Did you also assthat I turned up today just so I could beg Charlie to takeback? "Well, pardon me, but I can't even stand looking at Charlie's face. And I have nothing else to say about his bad grades, terrible personality, and untrustworthiness." She stopped in mock apology. "Ah, perhaps I've gone too far. After all, what would a commoner likeknow about the prestigious Shepherd family who are way out of my league? "Everyone, please don't think differently of the Shepherds because of what I said. I was merely stating my opinions. I had to be crude, you see, or the Shepherds wouldn't be able to understand the full extent of my annoyance." At once, the crowd that had gathered to listen began to whisper among themselves.
This confrontation was different from the last. It was public, for starters, and Wynter's newfound status as a hero gave her an edge.
The more the bystanders whispered, the more Nelson felt like he was being publicly ostracized.
Wynter even smiled as she added, "I wonder where you got the nerve to cup toin the first place. Mr. Shepherd." Nelson wished a hole would open up and swallow him whole. He was furious with her blatant insult. As for the rest of the Shepherds, they doubted they could ever show their faces on the streets again after this humiliation.
No one would again think of them as a reputable medical family, but rather as a family who had been publicly put in their place by a young lady.
Then again, Charlie and Nelson reaped what they sowed. Anyone in their right mind would see that the Shepherds were delusional to think themselves better than Wynter. Such st*pid arrogance was rare indeed.
At the sight of the bystanders' mocking grins, Nelson blanched and anxiously sought out Roland to speak with him. However, Roland avoided him like the plague.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmStanding sways apart from the crowd, Quinton asked his brother in puzzlement, "I thought Wynter was head over heels for Charlie. Why is she doing this now?" "Do you have a brain in that head of yours or is it just a bunch of loose screws? Stop botheringwith st*pid questions," Abel snapped.
"Charlie is just a pompous brat who doesn't deserve Wynter. You must be an idiot if you think otherwise." Quinton muttered, "I was only quoting what Yvette said. She also toldshe felt bad for dating Charlie because of Wynter." "Don't you ever get sick of hearing that pretentious wannabe ta Abel asked sharply, his expression grave. "Haven't I told you befo You know where our family stands when it comes to the Shepherd "They aren't our friends, and if you think otherwise, then maybe Grandpa's sheltered you too much. Snap out of your idiocy before it costs us." Abel hardly ever got angry, but Quinton could tell that he was furious this time.
