Chapter 348 Dalton Is Actually a Hopeless Romantic
Ronan apologized to the Winstons in his mind. It wasn't that he was oblivious, but Dalton spoke of retribution while maintaining a polite demeanor.
The stark contrast left Ronan feeling a chill down his spine. Suddenly, he wasn't sure if it was a good thing for Wynter to marry a man like this.
At this moment, Dalton’s voice softened again. “Mr. Quinnell must have had his reasons for asking you to show her around. Please assist her if she needs anything.”
Ronan responded quickly, “Even if you hadn't called, I would have been willing to help Ms. Quinnell. It's an honor for me to meet her.” The Xerton coin in his pocket felt conspicuous. He had accompanied many people on shopping trips in Panzarath.
Who cared about those old rules nowadays? Some people, like Naom and Shane, treated him like a servant and expected him to cater to them.
Today, for the first time, Ronan felt that being an external member of the Quinnell family wasn’t so bad.
Previously Fabian, and now Wynter. While businesspeople often pursued profit, Ronan admired and devoted himself to those who would leave behind lasting value.
Dalton seemed surprised by Ronan’s response. Ronan’s information was on Dalton’s desk. Ronan was on good terms with all the

aristocratic families in Kingbourne. They were considered his employers.

He smiled at everyone and spoke kindly, but it was hard to have him. open up.
As long as there was no personal gain involved, he could betray anyone at any time. Only Fabian could truly connect with him.
Ronan had never openly declared his support for anyone before. But now, he was backing Wynter. It seemed Wynter had once again done something unexpected.
Smiling, Dalton tapped his long fingers on the desk. “Sorry for overstepping. I'm relieved that you think that way. With you by her side, she won't be left alone if any conflicts arise.”
“But I don’t think Ms. Quinnell feels alone at all,” Ronan couldn't help but comment when he noticed how engaging the legendary scion was. “She didn't seem to care about the rumors circulating in our
circles.”
Dalton’s fingers paused, and then he asked slowly, “What rumors?” Ronan repeated what he had told Wynter earlier. Upon hearing his words, Dalton’s eyes turned cold, and his grip on his pen tightened. The scarlet rosary bracelet on his wrist seemed to glisten like blood. This was the scene Franklin witnessed when he entered the room. He had never seen Dalton like this before. The air around him was chilling as if he were about to do something dreadful at any moment.
Then Franklin heard Dalton say on the phone, “You can spread a fact.” Ronan was puzzled. “What?”

“I pursued her. She ignored my affection and denied my advances,” Dalton said, still smiling as he spoke. “The wedding date depends on her mood.”
Ronan was shocked. This wasn't a fact. If this were to get out in their circles, it would be like dropping a bomb.
“No one would believe you if you said that.”
It was quite outlandish. After all, Dalton had the kind of face that suggested he didn’t need to pursue others.
But now, he was claiming that Wynter had rejected his advances. That seemed too far-fetched, even for the rumor mill.
Dalton looked up and took the contract from Franklin's hand while. saying calmly, “Sir Rathbone, feel free to spread this. I'll affirm it later. Let's see who doesn't believe it.”
Ronan and Franklin were left speechless.
