The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 1126

The market share in Hawford was limited. The Quinnell family's entry would inevitably take a portion of it.

Moreover, Marie's greatest wish was to reconcile with the Whitmans.

Wynter's visit to Hawford would surely bring a sense of crisis, with people likely sowing discord.

After voicing these concerns, Phil added, "Indeed, as you suspect, there's more to it, Ms. Quinnell. But outsiders will latch onto this and continuously feed information to the Whitmans."

Phil poured coffee for everyone. "Mr. Reuben was famously devoted to his daughter. When Mrs. Quinnell agreed to the marriage, the Whitmans didn't have much to say about it.

"At that time, Mr. Shane offered shares to reassure the Whitmans. Later, as you know, the Quinnell family's shares were diluted. Mrs. Quinnell fell ill after you were kidnapped.

"The Whitmans came numerous times, especially Mrs. Quinnell's brothers, Mr. Cedric and Mr. Marlon. They were desperate to bring her back.

"Mrs. Quinnell's grandmother, Madam Aleena Morrow, adored her and found it unbearable to see her suffer."

Phil continued, "Madam Morrow's health also declined with age. Despite her condition, she personally came to take Mrs. Quinnell back to Hawford.

"Everyone thought Mrs. Quinnell would go back with Madam Morrow, but she refused and told them not to come again, saying she was married and belonged here.

"Madam Morrow was heartbroken. Not long after returning, we received news of her passing.

"Mrs. Quinnell fainted upon hearing the news. After that, her condition worsened, and she was sent abroad for treatment."

Phil said with a sigh, "This incident is a deep pain for Mrs. Quinnell and a significant concern for the Whitmans.

Keeping Marie away from the Whitmans made him her only support. Her condition would worsen, and she would no longer be able to overshadow him.

Phil's perspective on the Quinnell family was grounded in reality.

After Shane was imprisoned, the first thing Fabian did was invite the Whitmans to dinner.

Phil sighed deeply. "The conversation wasn't pleasant. Your uncles were genuinely heartbroken. Death is irreversible, and regrets linger.

"If the Quinnells truly rekindle their ties with the Whitmans, the aristocratic families in Hawford will undoubtedly feel threatened. That's not something they want to see."

Hearing this, Wynter fully understood Phil's concerns. "Phil, your worries are valid, but we can't delay going to Hawford."
