The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 969

Wynter thought to herself that that was exactly what she was doing. She was indeed making a veiled accusation, but she pretended to be surprised.

"Great uncle was adopted? I've never heard Grandpa mention that! Grandpa doesn't treat him like an adopted brother at all."

"Mr. Quinnell Senior has always valued brotherhood deeply," Liam responded instinctively. It was only after finishing his sentence that he realized he had complimented Fabian.

"Moreover, there's a backstory to their bond. It was Mr. Quinnell who stood up and saved Mr. Quinnell Senior when the Quinnells were facing a crisis."

Wynter was very skeptical about the backstory. She couldn't believe that Declan would risk his life for anyone. After all, he had used the Quinnells to siphon off Earth's energy to benefit Foplya. There had to be an underlying motive.

Her current curiosity stemmed from why Declan could gain the protection of the Quinnells' ancestors if he wasn't a true Quinnell. Something had to be wrong with this mansion. The problem didn't seem to be the mansion itself, so something must have caused it.

Wynter tapped her fingers on the table. It was a habit she had when thinking.

Meanwhile, in the back garden, Tyler couldn't suppress his fury no matter how hard he tried to lower his voice.

"You idiot! A dozen of us were wiped out by a single person, and you're telling me that you still don't know their identity?"

The wounded cultivator struggled to breathe steadily, "That person appeared too quickly. We didn't even get the chance to react.

"I was in charge of the perimeters so I was far away and managed to escape. The others…" The cultivator spat out blood before continuing, "were all captured."

Tyler grabbed the cultivator's collar tightly. "By who?"
