The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 613

Chapter 613 Something Is Off About Her 

Dalton raised his gaze and mischievously curved his lips. “Are you Mr. Quinnell Senior’s granddaughter, the one who studied abroad?” – 

Wynter remained composed and replied, “Yes. I’ve heard a lot about you. 

Dalton’s laughter echoed melodically, just like she remembered. “We are meeting for the first time, Ms. Quinnell. How have you heard so much about me?” 

“Your reputation precedes you.” Wynter glanced at Dalton’s female companion and lowered her voice slightly. “I prefer the version of you in a century.” 

She was somewhat concerned about his hedonistic lifestyle. 

Wynter wasn’t sure if Dalton caught her last remark as he let out a cough. “Ms. Quinnell, the way you look at me is quite intriguing.” 

“Is it?” Wynter was waiting for the guests to exit the study. She doubted Gordon had invited these people 

for her to make acquaintances. She guessed that he must be trying to send something away. 

Wynter’s suspicions were accurate. The small–scale gathering wasn’t as simple as it seemed. Gordon was still speaking to someone. 

As Wynter turned away slightly, Dalton approached and remarked, “Forgive me if I’m being rude, Ms.. Quinnell. It seems you’re not particularly fond of me. You look at me as though I’ve cheated on you.” 

Wynter couldn’t help but scoff inwardly. “I simply prefer to steer clear of individuals with complicated romantic entanglements,” she replied nonchalantly. 

After a brief moment of hesitation, Dalton let out a light cough. 

Just then, Gordon and his friend emerged from the study. 

“Ah, you’ve already gotten to know each other? I guess there’s no need for me to make further 

introductions.” 

Gordon was surprised that Dalton was conversing with Wynter. After all, he was usually reserved and 

detached from any matters. 

Dalton had arrived in Hawford a year ago. Although he was skilled, he displayed little interest in anything. He always seemed to distance himself from the hustle and bustle of life. 

However, Dalton would occasionally lend a hand when Gordon sought his assistance. 

Today was no exception. No one would have guessed that Gordon had passed the film to Dalton, despite spending his time conversing with his old friend. 

Gordon decided to steer the conversation toward introducing Wynter. 

As time drew near, his friend asked with concern, “Do you really have to go to the Foplya consulate?”

Gordon could guess the Foplyans‘ intent behind the invitation. After fetching his hat and putting on his wool coat, he smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter if it’s a trap. Someone has to take a look.” 

Next, he turned to Wyner and asked, “Are you ready, Wynter?” 

“Yes.” Wynter had changed into a stylish dress that showed off her slender, fair legs, with anklets adorned with shiny tokens. Many people turned to look at her as she walked by. 

Gordon and Wynter entered the car arranged by the Foplyans. Wrapped in a fur coat, Wynter exuded elegance. She embodied the grace of a lady from a wealthy Hawford family. 

Just then, a fog descended near the waterfront. The sound of ferries could be heard echoing from the 

pier. 

The woman accompanying Dalton earlier said, “Sir, that can’t possibly be Mr. Quinnell Senior’s granddaughter. There’s something off about her.” 

Dalton, sitting in the back seat of the car, remained silent. He looked away from the window and ran his slender fingers over the matchbox. 

Next, he lit a cigarette and chuckled. “Of course there is. She’s not from this city.”
