The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 973

Albert sighed deeply. "Alright. Let's stop talking about Wynter. Let's discuss our own matter."

Albert went to great lengths to play along with his sister's charades. He was doing things he wouldn't have done in normal circumstances.

"Great uncle, Grandpa always had issues with Jolene. You are the only one who can persuade him and that stubborn nature of his."

Albert decided against holding Jolene's hands after some thought. Instead, he only looked at Declan and said, "I want to marry Jolene."

Jolene was so thrilled her heart nearly leaped out of her chest. She almost couldn't hide the money-hungry gleam in her eyes.

"Al, you finally…" Jolene forcibly changed her tone when she noticed Declan's warning gaze.

"It will only strain your relationship with Grandpa further if you bring up marriage now. Al, I can wait for you. Don't let me be the cause of a conflict between you and Grandpa."

Albert looked at Jolene deeply. "This isn't for you. It's for myself." However, Albert didn't say that sentence aloud. He was grateful to Wynter for allowing him to see through all the deception.

Declan had always cared for them since they were young. Whenever Fabian was strict with them, it had always been him who pleaded on their behalf.

Albert still remembered the time he almost drowned at the beach. It was Declan who saved him. Ever since then, Albert had always regarded Declan as a hero in his heart.

But now, seeing the silent exchange between Declan and Jolene, Albert was completely disillusioned. There was no need to make excuses for him anymore.

The truth was just as Wynter had said. The two not only knew each other but had even conspired to drive a wedge between Declan and Fabian to manipulate him. It was all an act from the start.
