Chapter 320 Slow Poisoning
Wynter looked as sharp as she was stunning, a trait that a true
Quinnell heiress would have. None of the household staff dared
challenge her identity. They couldn’t even help staring at her.
They watched as she made her way from the threshold to the study in
long, confident strides. There was no denying her beauty as the staff
took in her chiseled profile.
Wynter never thought she could win over a crowd with her looks
alone, not that she particularly cared about winning anyone over. She was more concerned about the toxins that were working their way
through Fabian’s system.
As the door to the study swung open, Fabian leaped to his feet and grinned at Wynter. “Come here and let me have a look at you, Wynter. Are you cold?
“I would have sent my fleet of cars to bring you to Kingbourne, but that Yarwood brat told me his entourage offered more security.

Wynter looked grim at the sight.
Fabian froze. “Wynter, is that… poison?”

Alexis had no idea what the herb was, but the doctor who followed
him into the study had been privileged enough to come across the
herb before. “A Zenith herb! A real-life Zenith herb!”
Zenith herb was extremely hard to come by, and for Wynter to
produce an actual, freshly plucked one was surprising.
“You want this cooked?”

He had never been one to feel like splurging, but that changed when Wynter came into his life. He bought the cars after watching a livestream. While the viewers had praised the cars’ appearances, they
found the million-dollar price tags too steep.
However, Fabian had only taken one look at the fronts of the cars and
called up the dealers to order them.
Wynter cast him a thoughtful look. She knew he only meant well, and
she smiled as she took the keys.

“Thank you for the gift, Grandpa. It’s perfect. I was just thinking getting one so I could bring Grandma around, what with her bad legs.

“I knew you’d like it!” Fabian beamed. With half the toxins out of his
body, he could breathe properly again.
Everything seemed fine until Wynter reached the living room and
