The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 316

Chapter 316 Toxins

Shane bristled and made to argue further. Fabian, however, was in

such a rage that his chest tightened. His breath came up short, and

when Shane drew near him, he broke into a violent coughing fit.

Shane hadn’t come to rouse Fabian’s temper. He was just about to

rub Fabian’s back to soothe the coughing when the latter suddenly

coughed up blood.

A spray of crimson landed on Shane’s shirt. “Dad!” he cried in alarm. ”

Dad, what’s wrong?”

“Get out,” Fabian rasped.

Just then, Alexis walked into the living room, saying, “Mr. Quinnell

Senior, I have Ms. Quinnell on the phone. She’s on the highway now

and will be arriving in Kingbourne this afternoon. Do you want to… Mr

Quinnell Senior!”

Alexis’ smile was replaced by a look of horror when he saw Fabian’s

ghastly state, and his voice filled with panic.

It was only then that Fabian seemingly caught his breath. “S- She’s on

the phone? Quick, hand it to me!”

“But, Mr. Quinnell Senior, your cough…” Alexis hesitated.

Wynter had heard everything on the other line. Frowning, she asked, ”

Grandpa, are you all right?”

“I’m fine, little princess. Alexis is just being dramatic,” Fabian lied to

keep her from worrying.

He tried to keep his breath steady as he continued, “Is there anything you and your grandmother would like for lunch? I’ll have the chef make whatever you want. Why don’t you stay here for the night?”

Wynter had always been perceptive. So when she heard Fabian

rasping on the other line, she asked gravely, “Grandpa, turn on the

camera.”

“I’m fine,” Fabian insisted. “Trust me little princess.”

As he said this, he waved his hand, motioning for Alexis to get Shane

out of the house.

Shane heard the female voice speaking on the other line that supposedly belonged to his long-lost daughter.

He leaned forward, but just as he was about to say something, Alexis clamped a hand over his m*uth and dragged him out of the room.

Fabian didn’t want Wynter to find out about the nonsense her

incompetent father had spewed.

Alas, Wynter sensed there was something off on Fabian’s end.”

Grandpa, is somebody there with you?”

She advised calmly, “Grandpa, have someone open all the windows in the house, and remember not to get worked up today. I’ll see you later.

Fabian beamed. “Looking forward to it, little princess! I think you’ll

Jove your bedroom. I decorated it myself!”

She laughed. “Promise me you won’t get worked up, Grandpa. No

takebacks.”

“I have no reason to get worked up, not when my little princess is arriving soon,” he quipped, cheering up considerably.

Chap 316 Toxins:

After a while of cajoling him, Wynter said, “Grandpa, could you pass the phone to Alexis? I need to ask him a couple of things.”

Alexis had only just gotten rid of Shane, who had left begrudgingly after Fabian wouldn’t let him speak to his long-lost daughter on the phone.

Alexis took the phone and said, “Ms. Quinnell, about Mr. Quinnell

Senior’s condition-”

“I know,” Wynter cut him off, her voice crisp. “It’s caused by toxins. Alexis, get rid of anything scented in the house and leave the rest to

1. Also, I’d like to know who Grandpa saw today.”

If there was nothing in the house that was releasing toxins into the

air, then there was only one possibility left-someone brought the

toxins in.
