Chapter 264 Miss Quinnell Finally Revealed
Ryan contained his excitement. After piecing together the Quirks’ lies and motives, and observing their deliberate attempts to conceal the truth, Ryan reached a seemingly impossible but logical conclusion.
He pushed the door open abruptly and voiced his inner speculation,” You and the Yates family didn’t switch children, did you? You simply didn’t like the one you abducted, so you exchanged her for another. The truth is, you never actually had a daughter!”
Fanny was taken aback by Ryan’s sudden appearance, and her expression changed abruptly. Wasn’t he the relative of that troublemaker, Wynter? Did he and Mr. Quinnell know each other?
Ryan didn’t beat around the bush. “You deliberately led me to inquire with the Yates family, who believed that Wynter is your biological
daughter.
“The Yates family harbor resentment toward Wynter for supposedly usurping their daughter’s identity all these years. Considering their animosity toward Wynter, they wouldn’t disclose the truth to me. Essentially, they must have deceived me about the information they
provided!
“The second time I visited you, you mentioned that a child from Kingbourne was adopted by someone in a village called Stone Village, but you weren’t sure if it was the one I was looking for. The child left around the age of 14 and was quite short.
“I followed the leads you provided diligently, but to no avail! How
foolish of me! I should have realized that you’re traffickers!”
“Mr. Elliot,” Ryan said, turning to Elliot with reddened eyes. “Ms. Quinnell… she’s… she’s the one who saved you today!”
The Quirks became visibly agitated upon hearing Ryan’s words, especially Fanny.
She promptly retorted, “Hey! Can you not jump to conclusions like that? That’s our child you’re talking about!”
Despite feeling uneasy about the truth being exposed, Fanny knew she couldn’t afford to back down as this was their only chance of
survival.
Elliot’s ears were drowned in silence as Ryan revealed that Wynter was his sister. Lowering his head, Elliot felt a surge of indescribable
emotion in his chest.
Ignoring his wound, he grasped Ryan’s hand and flashed a joyful smile, one he had never experienced before.
“No wonder, Mr. Lloyd… I felt a sense of calm familiarity the moment I laid eyes on her. She’s my sister!” Elliot’s eyes sparkled with
newfound realization. “She’s my sister!”
It was believed that blood relatives often shared a unique bond, particularly biological siblings. Elliot had never encountered such a
sensation before.
An intense longing compelled him to see her immediately, to gently
stroke her head, and to assure her that her brother had arrived and no
one would ever dare to harm her again!
Ryan had never seen Elliot in such a state before. At home, Elliot was typically reserved. Even his mother, Marie, wished he would open up
more.
He spent most of his time in the Air Force, where he commanded respect and obedience. Though polite with well-mannered, he seemed distant from his family.
Even Fabian, Elliot’s grandfather, questioned whether bringing Naomi
into their family was the right decision. Since her arrival, Elliot’s
demeanor had noticeably changed.
Despite Elliot’s initial objections, Fabian felt compelled to bring Naomi into their family to ease Marie’s grief over her lost daughter. It was a difficult decision, but one that Fabian believed was necessary.
to keep their family intact.
“Mr. Lloyd, quickly! Call Grandpa!” Elliot’s demeanor reverted to its
former self. “Let him know that we’ve found his real granddaughter!
The true Miss Quinnell!”
As for Naomi, no matter how much she resembled his sister in her
childhood, Elliot could never warm up to her.
Yet, Naomi’s presence undeniably lifted Marie’s spirits, and even his
father, Shane, had grown fond of her.
Though Elliot understood Fabian’s decision was made for the family’s
sake, he and his brother, Tobias, remained firm in their belief that no
one could replace their little sister!
