The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 1671

Wynter glanced at Whitley and instructed, "Something's not right. Go and stand over there. An auspicious being can suppress evil."

Though Whitley was left speechless by her statement, he complied. True to Wynter's words, nearly half of the morbid energy had been repressed.

Upon noticing Wynter's arrival, Vanessa quickly released Astrid but felt a scorching pain tearing through her soul. The heavens didn't condone a child striking their mother, and now Vanessa was facing the consequences of her action.

Only one formation stood out as the deadliest—the Sacrificial Soul Formation. It appeared someone attempted to use Vanessa's soul to break open the ground and release the creatures within.

Wynter recalled a similar tactic was employed in the past to strengthen one's power. She chided herself for overlooking the possibility.

"I want her dead, Lady Wynter. I want her gone! Why was I born into such a family? Just why?" Vanessa murmured.

Wynter stepped closer to observe Vanessa's condition, but her eyes widened in shock. Without hesitation, she grasped Vanessa's spiritual form. The black mist instantly seeped into her fingers—a manifestation of Vanessa's personal burdens.

Wynter turned to Vanessa and said, "You don't have to take this on yourself. Sometimes, it's worse to be alive than dead. The greatest revenge isn't ending her life, but to let her live in a world she dreads most."

She then raised a hand and extinguished the flames on Vanessa. "Do you trust me?" she asked.

Vanessa realized that Wynter had taken on her personal burden. With reddened eyes, she voiced her trust in Wynter. Of all the gods and mortals, Wynter was the only one who stood up for her.

"And who the hell are you? I'm telling you—stay out of our family matters! You have no right to interfere!" Astrid sneered. While others regarded the cultivators with fear, she remained unshaken.

Wynter glanced over and retorted, "I almost forgot about you, since you've been so quiet earlier. Looking at your grades, it's obvious something's off about your admission to the top school.

"You shamelessly leech off your sister, and now you dream of becoming an influencer? Well, get ready to enjoy the public's scorn for the rest of your life."

Krishen's expression instantly turned sour.

Astrid placed a hand on her waist and pointed at Wynter. "Why do you keep sticking your nose in other people's affairs? Don't you have anyone else to care about? I'd like to see who dares take back the money I got for trading my own daughter!"

Vanessa stood at a side, surrounded by resentful energy. She would be far from calm if Wynter weren't next to her. Perhaps, it was Wynter's presence that kept her earlier aggression restrained. After all, she believed that Wynter would serve her justice.
