The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 1124

"He's not the only one who said that," Albert spoke up. "It's the general consensus in the business community.

"They believe the Winston family rose to prominence in the south. After the factories' collapse, the government increasingly encouraged entrepreneurship rather than relying on communal resources.

"They say Mr. Diego seized this business opportunity back then and expanded his enterprise. He then moved from the south to the north, finally settling in Kingbourne."

Logan nodded. "That's true."

"Mr. Diego had led the Winston family for so many years. Doesn't he deserve a memorial tablet?" Albert's question hit a sore spot.

"He didn't want one," Logan said, unfazed. "Maybe it's because of foreign culture's influence. After all, they don't have that kind of thing."

"Fine, then." Wynter played with her purple sugilite pendant. "Your great-grandpa might not have a memorial tablet, but your family must have a family tree.

"Finding it would help me interpret the divination. After all, the whole business community knows your family's history."

Logan's expression changed at her words.

Wynter raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong?"

"Our family tree was burned a long time ago." As Logan said that, he pulled out his phone. "I'll ask Chad if there's anything left."

Before he could dial the number, Wynter stopped him.

"No need to ask him. Your grandpa does have a problem, but it's not possession. It's something else. The missing family tree is strange, but if you ask now, I won't be able to find anything.

"For now, let's follow Phil's plan. After visiting all the families, I'll go to your house. I want to find out what's really going on with Mr. Winston Senior as well."

The blood wasn't some herbal remedy. It was a method used by cultivators. But since this method was against the natural order and morality, no righteous cultivator would learn it.

Yet, Clyde did.

No, she shouldn't call him Clyde. The person in his body was likely the man she encountered in the formation.

If that were the case, everything would make sense, including why he had been sick for so long.

By normal logic, he should have died long ago. He used a method to deceive the underworld and its guards.

Clyde was not just practicing the dark arts. He was using them to extend his life.

Realizing this, Wynter suddenly stood up.
