Chapter 136 The Mysterious Boss
“Sir, why did you deceive me?”
Larry’s hearty laughter filled the room as he entered with a smug look on his face.
Warren shivered and hid behind Wynter.
Wynter raised her eyes slightly. Her gaze was calm and indifferent, yet it was strikingly
beautiful.
Larry immediately spotted her as soon as he entered, but he didn’t think much of Wynter’s identity.
He strolled in with his bodyguards and tactfully inquired, “Kid, is your guardian home? I’m not feeling too well. I saw your live stream online, so I wanted to come over for a consult at
the clinic.”
He was familiar with pickup lines and thought, “Since Boss lives in such a place, she surely prefers to keep her identity concealed.”
Wynter’s l*ps curved upward in a faint smirk. “Who are you calling a ‘kid‘?”
Larry’s smug expression vanished instantly as he spun around upon hearing that familiar NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
voice.
Wynter chewed on her gum. Her long black hair cascaded down, and she smiled slightly.” Mr. Hilton, it seems even important people forget sometimes. Do you not recognize me?”
At that moment, Larry was shocked to see her–the person whom he had longed to meet.
“I, uh…” he stammered, almost calling her “Boss.”
However, Wynter silenced him with just a glance.
Warren’s eyes widened. Then, he questioned, “Wynter, do you know this man?”
She responded persuasively, “Mr. Wick, take a closer look. Isn’t he the wealthy businessman who appeared on TV not long ago?”
Warren rubbed his blurry eyes and then glanced at Larry. “My goodness! It’s him!”
He recalled seeing him on his phone and immediately recognized Larry as the wealthy investor planning to invest in Southdale. He had been closely following Larry’s news on TV.
“He used to be my grandmother’s patient,” Wynter explained.

Warren nodded knowingly. “That explains it. No wonder he’s here!”
“Shall I attend to him first?” Wynter asked with a smile.
Warren caught the hint and replied, “Alright, I’ll take my leave.”
After he left, she glanced at Larry’s bodyguards.
“Mr. Hilton, since you’re here for an undisclosed illness, let’s keep things low–key,” she said casually as she placed her equipment down. Then, she glanced at Larry. “Don’t you agree?”
Larry touched the large gold chain around his neck and responded, “You’re right, Boss. Jerry, stay. Everyone else, wait outside.”
“Don’t loiter in the alley, either. It’s too conspicuous,” Wynter added nonchalantly.
Larry immediately added, “Everyone, wait by the car!”
“Yes, Mr. Hilton!”
The bodyguards all made their way outside. However, they were puzzled by Larry’s sudden show of respect and his addressing Wynter as “Boss.” They couldn’t help but wonder when Larry had become so deferential.
Inside the clinic, Larry’s expression toggled between admiration and shock.
“Boss, I never imagined you were still so young! You’re really beautiful. Anyone who didn’t know might think you’re the campus belle. It’s all Greg’s fault for reaching out to you and not telling me!”
“I told him not to tell you,” Wynter said calmly as she handed him and Jerry each a cup of
tea.
Larry felt deceived. “Boss, you can’t play favorites like that!”
The more Larry looked at Wynter, the more unbelievable it seemed that she was this young.
Jerry was also taken aback. He recalled their encounter at the Yates family’s villa during a conversation with Ewan. “Oh, her? She’s just an insignificant adopted daughter,” he
remarked.
Jerry hadn’t forgotten the disdain in Ewan’s eyes when Wynter’s name was brought up, or how she had been driven out of the Yates family on the night of the banquet.
While Jerry didn’t concern himself with such matters, he couldn’t help but feel that Ewan had been too ruthless. He found himself scrutinizing her more closely because of her aloof
