Chapter 1036 Slapping Declan in the Face 

Wynter aimed to uproot Decaln’s 70–year foundation.ungbourne. 

“Saving Grandpa’s life once earned you a lifetime of comfort.” Wynter locked eyes with Declan. “If the Quinnell family didn’t genuinely care for you, they could have sent you away with ten silvers back then. 

“After all, beggars were everywhere in those days. Great–great–grandpa couldn’t bear to see a child begging for survival during such a harsh time, so he adopted you. 

“All these years, Grandpa has never revealed your true identity to anyone, always treating you as a real brother.” 

Wynter’s gaze was icy. “The Quinnell family has always treated you fairly, protecting you in every way. Yet to you, our family is still ungrateful. Great–uncle, you truly remind me of a saying.” 

Her eyes made people uneasy. “Some ingrates can never be grateful, no matter how much you do for them.” 

“How dare you?” Declan, in all his years, had never been spoken to like this since he 

was a child. His hands trembled with rage, and a murderous look flashed across his 

face. 

He shouldn’t have spared Wynter and should have confirmed her death back in 

Southdale years ago. It would have been better than having her expose his secrets 

now. 

“What a sharp tongue.” Declan dropped his previous gentle demeanor. “Is this how you behave toward your elders? I’ve truly seen your ability to twist facts today.” 

He looked at the murmuring crowd. 

“I’ve never denied Grandpa’s nurturing. Without him, I wouldn’t be where I am today. He was kind to me, but it’s not the current Quinnell family that I am indebted to.” 

Wynter chuckled coldly. “So, you acknowledge that you wouldn’t be where you are today without Great–great–grandpa.”

Her words carried a deeper meaning. 

Yet, Declan assumed she had other arguments, as he

Feigning sincerity, Declan said, “I’ve never forgotten his kindness.” 

“Really?” Wynter took a step forward. 

She had examined that newspaper closely before leaving the formation. 

Often, the most overlooked details were in local gossip. 

There was a small mention of a beggar rising to become a wealthy scion after saving someone outside the Foplya consulate. 

Initially, Wynter hadn’t connected this incident to the Quinnell family. It was only upon revisiting the article that she noticed that the consulate mentioned in the 

newspaper was the same school built by the Foplyans in Hawford. 

In the previous formation, she recalled that the school had been burned down. But where would the students go after that? This had always worried Wynter. 

Perhaps she was overthinking it, but prolonged education and indoctrination could gradually infiltrate one’s humanity. 

Wynter didn’t really trust the children who came out of that place, even if they were once Cascadians. 

The influence of thoughts and beliefs could be nurtured and ingrained. This was proven by the two Foplyan–sympathizing students she encountered in the formation this time. 

From entering to exiting the formation, Wynter pondered why this formation was so unique and what Gordon’s regrets were that caused his deep resentment. 

Finally, she understood that Gordon’s resentment wasn’t merely due to adopting a son who endangered the Quinnell family. It was because Declan was one of the children who had been raised by the Foplyan troops. 

Since he openly admitted he wasn’t a Quinnell, this simplified everything.
