Chapter 384 Sarcasm
Shane’s head felt like it was about to explode, and his expression was extremely pained. He opened his mouth as if wanting to give an explanation.
“Sevie, I didn’t mean it like that. I hadn’t seen you before and didn’t know it was you. That’s why I said those things. I-”
“Mr. Quinnell,” Wynter interrupted his words in a calm tone. “The daughter you want to reunite with is standing next to you. It isn’t me.”
Shane froze before saying subconsciously, “Sevle, how can you say that?”
“What do you think I should say then, Mr. Quinnell?” Wynter raised her eyebrows slightly. “Should I joyfully acknowledge you as my father?”
Shane frowned. “I am your biological father, Sevie. You can’t bear a grudge against me just because of a misunderstanding.”
“Oh.” Wynter’s smile was breathtaking, and her long black hair was cascading. “I’m afraid you will be disappointed. My greatest virtue is holding grudges.”
Shane finally realized that she probably didn’t want to acknowledge him. He was starting to panic.
“I know what I did just now was wrong,” Shane said, stepping forward.
He spoke sincerely, “I have been looking for you ever since you came back, but no one told me what your look like or where you live. I was worried, too. It’s been so many days, and I finally get to see you.”
If it were someone else, seeing a middle–aged man in tears would be touching.
But Wynter was different. After all, she was proficient in psychology and forensic science. She had lived in a haze for so many years, with only a few memories from her childhood.
Some of those memories had gradually resurfaced.
If it weren’t for Atwater, she might have been sold by human traffickers and thrown onto the streets to
beg.
In her few memories, she could recall having one chance to escape when the traffickers wanted to return
her for ransom.
But it was precisely at this moment that news came out that the Quinnell

The traffickers had once called Shane, but he didn’t answer.

*So, women are worthless. Even a rich family like the Quinnell family can just move on by adopting another after losing their daughter.
These fuzzy fragments of memories had only surfaced after she arrived at Kingbourne.
To her, Shane seemed almost transparent.
YOU
Wynter wasn’t in a hurry. She waited until his emotions calmed down before saying lazily, “Mr. Quinnell, since you miss me so much, why didn’t you come to find me in the past ten years or so? Instead, were thinking about adopting a sponsee to replace me.
Her words hit too close to home.
The atmosphere at the scene seemed to freeze.
Shane was speechless, and his mouth was agape. “…….. L”
“You thought I was dead, and you thought I caused Mom’s illness.” Wynter’s gaze moved slowly as she spoke casually.
“Sometimes, you even couldn’t help but think that my abduction cast a shadow over the whole family and
that I was unfortunate.
“So, you wanted to choose a daughter who could bring you luck. This one happens to be suitable. She’s lively, cheerful, and loyal to you, while I am just a harbinger of disaster.”
With each word Wynter spoke, Shane’s body couldn’t help but tremble. He looked extremely embarrassed.
“Mr. Quinnell, I’m sorry to disappoint you. I’m tough, and I didn’t die.”
As Wynter finished her last sentence, a sudden burst of crying came from beside her. “I forbid you to say such things about yourself!”
It was Marie, who had been silent the whole time.

She had been quiet for too long. During the confrontation, her gaze turned from bewilderment to surprise.
She had wanted to touch Wynter’s face several times but still couldn’t believe it was real. Was her precious daughter really back? Was her daughter standing right in front of her?
