The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 1529

Landon had always been timid and had never endured any real hardship. The thought of spending the rest of his life behind bars was unbearable for him.

"Your greed is the reason why Ophelia and I turned out like this. You've always thought that the Whitman family was better than us. Whether it's you or Ophelia, you guys have always felt inferior to them. That's why you were so greedy.

"You were already beyond redemption from the very beginning. Yet, you still had to drag us down with you. Mom, you can't be so selfish," he said to Tamia.

Landon's words nearly made Tamia faint with anger. But Wynter deliberately kept her there, forcing her to listen to Landon speak.

"Sevie, my mom did a lot of things that you don't know about. I know even things from a long time ago, including matters involving Marie. I know all of it. I'm sure you'll be interested!"

Landon had never been so desperate before. He was willing to betray anyone if it meant avoiding prison!

Tamia was already broken inside. She had spent her entire life scheming for power, all for Landon's sake. Yet, the one pushing her into the abyss was the very son she had doted on the most!

What a ruthless tactic deployed by Wynter! It was as if she was cutting straight into her heart!

Wynter glanced at Landon, signaling for him to continue.

"At that time, your mother followed your father when he came to Hawford. I noticed that Marie was acting strange. She wanted to meet with Noah and the others, but instead, she ran into my mom.

"You should know that Ophelia had given birth to Cyrus at that point, so we were practically family. Marie trusted my mom to take her back to the Whitman residence. The Wray, Waldron, and Calico families all knew about this.

"My mom saw that something was wrong with Marie's mind and suggested keeping it hidden."

Instead of giving all the information to Wynter, she thought she could at least take some secrets with her to the grave. If she couldn't have a happy ending, then neither would the Whitman family! She wanted them to carry this burden forever!

However, she had underestimated Wynter.

"This is a huge scheme. The Wray family's influence alone wouldn't be enough. How did four average aristocratic families manage to cover this up?" Wynter was calm and logical, completely unaffected by Landon's ramblings.

Landon, who had never worked well under pressure, hadn't thought deeply about this matter. "I don't know… it just kind of happened naturally."

"My uncles and grandfather would never be so easily outwitted." Wynter lifted her gaze. "Mr. Landon, think carefully—apart from the Wray, Montclair, Waldron, and Calico families, were some others also involved?"

As soon as Wynter uttered these words, Tamia couldn't sit still any longer.
