Chapter 318 The Scions of Kingbourne
Inside the study, Fabian was listening to the voice note from Wynter reminding him not to get worked up
He refused to open the door for Shane and raised his voice as he
said, “I’ll be fine if you stop pissing me off. You’d better leave before I think about revoking your position in the company.”
Shane grew anxious and stepped closer to the door. “Dad, I’m just worried about your health.”
“Worry about your intelligence.” Fabian gripped his dragon-headed
cane and snarled. “Leave.”
Shane’s fists clenched at his sides. He couldn’t understand why
Fabian had such an aversion toward him. It was like he meant
nothing to Fabian.
“Fine, I’ll leave,” Shane relented. “But my doctor will be stationed
outside your study just in case.”
When he heard no reply from Fabian, he left. Until now, he had yet t
tell Marie that their long-lost daughter had been found.
He wasn’t sure how he was going to break the news to her. He
worried that if he did, her condition would deteriorate.
More importantly, he didn’t understand why Fabian was adamant
about sending Naomi away. It was tantamount to emotional
blackmail at this point.
The Quinnell family would still be grieving if it weren’t for Naomi.

Shane was planning to meet his long-lost daughter so that he could
explain his side of the story. However, Fabian seemed intent on never letting them meet.
It was ridiculous how Shane was made to feel less when he was the
biological father. There was nothing more important than having peace and solidarity in the Quinnell family.
Shane couldn’t bring himself to send Naomi away and leave her
homeless. He figured he could wait until he saw his long-lost
daughter and talk things out then.
Meanwhile, after arriving in Kingbourne, Wynter grabbed her purse and got out of the car before anyone else.
Her black motorbike was stored in the back of the mover van. She put
on her helmet and had the driver set her motorbike down on the
ground.
The house with the courtyard that she had chosen from Abel’s
properties was across town from the Quinnell residence.
She was grateful that Dalton had assigned enough men to escort and her family to Kingbourne, for they helped Margaret settle do
into the new house.
Glancing at the map, Wynter saw that the traffic was building up on
the main roads. The fastest way she could get to the Quinnell residence was on a motorbike, and she wasted no time in doing so
She perched on her motorbike and leaned forward, revving up the engine. The sleek black motorbike gleamed under the streetlights.
From a distance, the motorbike effortlessly weaved through the
Chap 318 The Stons of Kingboure
traffic piling up on the road like a shadow.
Upon noticing that the biker was a woman, some men seated inside a flashy sports car whistled at her. Wynter ignored them. She had to get to Fabian’s place as quickly as possible.
However, the men in the sports car were none other than the scions
of the Scott and Winston families.
Chad Winston, the eldest of the Scott scions, did not bother looking out the window as he drawled, “Can we make a move already?”
“Are you that worried about Naomi?” Logan Winston asked.
Sean elbowed Logan, who quirked his l*ps in displeasure before grumbling, “She only looks for you when she needs something from you, Logan. Besides, everyone in our circle knows who she has feelings for.”
Chad’s expression turned grim. “If you have nothing better to say
out.”
“All right, calm down guys. Logan, you should know better than to badm*uth Naomi in front of Chad,” Sean Scott interjected. “She’s n as bad as you think, and she only went to the Yarwoods’ place because of the engagement.”
Logan shrugged. “Yeah, which is a thing of the past. Anyway, do we know why she’s in such a bad mood, Chad?”
Chad’s jaw went rigid. “Because the Quinnells have found their long
lost daughter.”
“What?” Logan’s eyes widened. “They found her? I thought she was kidnapped, and nobody knew if she was dead or alive! How did the

find her?”
Sean was concerned about something else. “If the Quinnells found their daughter, what will happen to Naomi?”
“Mr. Quinnell Senior wants her to pack up and leave,” Chad answered,
his fists clenching. “She’ll be heartbroken if they make her go through
with it. You guys know the Quinnells are like family to her after all these years.”
