The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 1554

Logan clenched his fists, his smile seeming more painful than the sight of his tears. "Wynter, this is hilarious, isn't it? I'm the type of guy who's into clubbing, racing, whatever—but I never imagined my ancestors were traitors."

Wynter understood Logan's straightforwardness and passion. He was the type who loved watching superhero movies and had figurines in his sports cars. Deep down, he loved this land more than anyone.

Wynter wasn't good at comforting people, so after pondering for a moment, she said, "Your circumstances are special, so this won't affect you. Whatever your ancestors did doesn't change the fact that you're a good person."

Logan's feelings were a mess. Knowing the truth was painful, but not knowing would have left him living in a lie. He had never spoken to anyone about it, but every time he returned to the Winstons' old family estate, Astraea Villa, he would feel an eerie sense of decay.

"My progress is too slow right now," Wynter said, raising her gaze. "So, I want to use you as bait."

Logan stiffened. "Me? Bait?"

"Yes, bait. That person is currently in someone else's body, but possession isn't simple. Whoever they possess, they take on that person's karma.

"The first time they possessed your great-grandfather, he suffered a backlash, and the underworld must have sensed something. When a person dies and their soul vanishes, it's a major violation.

"From his perspective, you're the most suitable host. You're young and have a unique constitution." She paused before adding, "Besides this, there are still some lingering connections. I need you to recall—did your grandfather have close ties with any families in Hawford?"

"I'll have to think about it." Logan had received too much information today—Clyde's death, Diego being a traitor, and Chad's disappearance. He had never felt this exhausted before.

After hearing Wynter's words, Logan stood up abruptly with his swollen eyes. "I'll be the bait!"

For so many years, no one had ever told him the truth. But of course, he also had another driving force behind his decision.

"I want to meet the person who possessed my grandfather. I need to know why he turned him into what he is now!"

Revenge is often the fastest way for someone to grow. But beyond that, Logan spoke in a low voice, "I want to do something to atone for the Winston family's sins."
