Wynter's gaze deepened as she listened to Fredric. "That was why what?"
Fredric hesitated. "Mr. Randell must have already told you about this."
"He only disclosed your actions, not his own." Wynter smirked slightly.
Hearing this, Fredric gritted his teeth. "I was only following his orders."
Then, looking almost pleadingly at Wynter, he added, "Ms. Quinnell, haven't you already uncovered what happened to your grandmother, and why your mother fell out with the Whitman family all those years ago?
"All of it was orchestrated by Judah! He knew the Quinnell and Whitman families' bond was deeply rooted in the challenging times they faced together. It was practically an unshakable relationship.
"Typical schemes wouldn't affect them, no matter how much hardship was created. Even when Shane deceived your two uncles, Mr. Whitman Senior didn't waver. As long as Mr. Quinnell Senior was around, their relationship would hold.
"Judah never understood how they kept such a bond, but he knew that the Quinnell and Whitman families, at the peak of their power, had to be separated. Otherwise, even if he rose to power, he'd still lack influence over certain areas in the business world.
"That was why he decided to undermine them from within. Mr. Whitman Senior was a scholarly businessman, devoted to his wife and daughter. If anything were to happen to those two, it would irreparably destroy the bond between the Quinnell and Whitman families."
Fredric paused and clasped his hands in front of him anxiously before continuing
cautiously, "Mrs. Whitman Senior's death was no accident. Judah had someone administer a drug-a stimulant.
"It wouldn't be fatal if used on a healthy person. However, since Mrs. Whitman Senior had a pre-existing heart condition, it appeared entirely natural. This was especially true given that she was faced with stressful conditions then.
"Her daughter wouldn't return home, and her son-in-law only brought trouble. Everyone naturally assumed Mrs. Whitman Senior's death was due to the emotional strain your mother caused."
Fredric expected Wynter to react strongly to his words, but to his surprise, she remained silent. Instead, she activated a recording device, her eyes deep and unfathomable as she stared at him without a word.
Fredric had met countless people, but for the first time, he was genuinely scared by the look of a young woman.
The calmer Wynter appeared, the more intense the murderous intent in her gaze. It was as
if, had he not been sitting there, she would have reached out and strangled him, ending him right then and there.
Wynter's hand had indeed moved, the violence in her demeanor so palpable that she seemed to have disregarded everything else in the moment.
Sensing the danger, Fredric panicked. He couldn't help but shout into the camera, "Help! She's going to kill me! Help!"
This shout finally brought Wynter back to her senses. She looked at him, a slight smile curving her lips. "I didn't expect you to be afraid. You've said so much and blamed everything on Judah, but some of it doesn't match the details I've uncovered.
"For instance, what you just mentioned. According to my investigation, my mom, despite being ill, still came to Hawford to see my grandmother. It was you who told those who had met her to not inform the Whitman family.
"The reason this news was kept under wraps so well was because you were working behind the scenes."
Wynter leaned in closer to Fredric, her voice cold. "You hate the Whitman family and my grandfather because he saw through your true nature when you were just an insignificant official.
"If it weren't for my grandfather, you would have turned a blind eye to the environmental pollution for power and money. You didn't just follow Judah's order—you did this for your own benefit."
