The Wife He Forgot to Marry (Winona and Yule) novel Chapter 847

Shortly after, Liana posted a full confession and apology across all her social media feeds.

When the Linden family found out what she had done, they rushed over to formally apologize to Stefan and Winona, swearing up and down that they would discipline Liana and ensure she never stepped out of line again.

Once Margaret caught wind of the scandal, she instantly dropped any mention of setting Stefan up with Liana.

The various factions within the Goddard and Shepherd families suddenly realized Winona was absolutely ruthless. The swift, clinical way she had annihilated Liana's reputation terrified them.

They realized Stefan's girlfriend was not someone to be trifled with, and their wariness of her skyrocketed.

Daisy Falconer and Wanda Zeller were particularly disappointed.

Since neither Margaret nor Liana could outplay Winona, they'd have to find a new pawn to do their dirty work.

Otherwise, with Stefan backing her so fiercely, the second and third branches of the Goddard family would never get a slice of the pie.

When Valor Bell heard Winona was establishing her own lab, he harbored no resentment. Instead, he started sending resources and connections her way.

In his eyes, a talent like Winona was going to bring massive prestige to the nation's scientific community. As a veteran in the field, he believed it was his duty to pave the way for the next generation.

On Tuesday evening, Winona attended an exclusive R&D dinner party in the capital at Valor's invitation.

The guest list was a mix of academic titans looking for partnerships and corporate heavyweights hunting for investments.

Winona had seamless, engaging conversations with several top researchers.

Ms. Finch walked over.

Winona greeted her with a warm smile.

Ms. Finch was incredibly gracious. "I heard you're launching your own lab. If you ever need a collaboration partner, please keep me at the top of your list."

Winona nodded. "Absolutely."

After they chatted, Ms. Finch went to mingle with the other guests.

Winona was just about to sit down and rest when she spotted two painfully familiar figures.

Yulen Locke and Mamie Tatum.
