Chapter 288 The Quinnell Brothers
Tobias’ message was met with a series of replies from his older
brothers.
CEO Albert: “Set up a meeting and solve the problem yourself.”
Racer Blake: “Hey, Rowan runs in the same circles as you. Ask him for
help.”
A-lister Rowan: “I’m busy. Go ask Sebastian.”
Attorney Seb: “My fees aren’t cheap.
Toby the Celebrity: “…”
Attorney Seb: “Ask your agency. I doubt the Yarwoods would let you
be plagued with controversy.”
A-lister Rowan: “What can his agency do about his crappy acting?”
Racer Blake: “I’ve got it! Tobias, why don’t you quit acting and go back
to run the family business?”
CEO Albert: “I second that.”
Toby the Celebrity: “Nice try, guys, but no dice. If anything, Elliot
should be the one to quit his dangerous job and run the family
business.”
Attorney Seb: “Elliot hasn’t been checking his messages. He’s
probably on an assignment again.”
Racer Blake: “Pitching in a million dollars for Tobias to run Quinnell
Changi za The Gonnell Brothers
Corporation.”
CEO Albert: “Five million dollars.”
Incognito Elliot: “@Everyone, I have news.”
Attorney Seb: “Elliot?”
2/4
Toby the Celebrity: “Do my eyes deceive me? Is Elliot joining our chat?”
Incognito Elliot: “Before I say anything, I need you all to calm down.”
There was a pause before Elliot added: “Our little sister has been
found.”
The group chat fell silent at once.
Where the six men had been scrolling their phones one second, they
were sending out voice notes the next. Elliot could tell how anxious
all of them were over the phone.
“Where is she?”
“We’ll go over right away!”
Pleased to know that at least he had seen Wynter before any of them,
Elliot said, “I can’t tell you where she is right now, and I’ll need your
guys to keep this a secret.”
“Why?” Tobias demanded. As a rising celebrity, he was used to being
blunt.
Frankly, he couldn’t care less about Naomi’s adoption as long as it
wasn’t at Wynter’s expense. With that in mind, he declared, “If Naomi does plan on taking Wynter’s place, then I’ll make her regret it for the
rest of her life.”
“So how come you almost died, Elliot?” one of the brothers asked.
Elliot told them what happened during the last few days. When he was done, all his brothers wanted to storm into Paradise Village and
burn it down.
“Grandpa plans to bring Wynter back to Kingbourne. Mr. Lloyd was.
right when he said Kingbourne is where our real battle lies.
“Someone’s bound to snub Wynter for what she’s been through,” Elliot
said after telling his brothers to calm down.
Rowan agreed. “I’m in Meridon right now, but I’ll go back as soon as shooting wraps. Rumors were going around after the Yarwoods.
called off the engagement last time.
“Our circle can be vicious, and I don’t want Wynter to be bullied the.
moment she comes home. In any case, she should be the one who calls off the engagement, not the Yarwoods.”
Elliot interjected with a frown, “Hold up. Rowan, did you just say
Dalton called off the engagement?”
“Yeah,” Rowan answered. “You’re away so much that you must have
missed the news. It happened some time ago.”
Elliot narrowed his eyes. “And that man has the nerve to approach Wynter?” He couldn’t believe Dalton had the audacity!
