Chapter 637 The Truth About the Quinnell Family
Even Sebastian frowned. Was the legendary Dalton this shameless in the rumors?
Fabian, however, seemed to have figured it out.
From this banquet alone, it was evident that the Quinnell family had been declining over the years.
But the Yarwood family was different. With Dalton’s, support, Wynter’s later years could be much
smoother.
Once inside the study, Fabian gestured for Alexis to close the door. Then, he strolled over to the
bookshelf and moved one of the books.
With a click, the shelf shifted.
Tobias didn’t know there was a hidden compartment behind Fabian’s bookshelf.
Inside, there was a well–crafted leather chest. On the wall were some newspapers from the special period, along with some documents and photos. Among these lay a well–preserved lucky coin.
When Wynter saw the coin, her gaze paused.
Fabian approached and picked up a family portrait from the shelf. “I’m not a dutiful son. I haven’t passed on the Quinnell family to the next generation yet. Luckily, I have a granddaughter now.”
Smiling, he continued, “Today, I can finally give your great–great–grandpa some peace of mind.”
With that, he started explaining. “The Quinnell family didn’t start in Kingbourne. We have control over
various trading firms.”
Fabian looked at his grandchildren. “Even now, reactivating these firms will impact some people. In the heyday of the Quinnell family in Hawford, we attracted the Foplyans‘ attention.
“I was young

grandpa didn’t want to work for Foplya in exchange for me. He exchanged his own life for the Quinnell
family’s peace.
“Since then, all trading firms have been operating in secret. They served the Youth Daily and other ambitious individuals by providing resources and financial support.
“Your great–great–grandpa said Cascadia would have its own schools, and its future would be bright. He believed that day would come but didn’t live to see it.
“As a member of the Quinnell family, I’ve never revealed these trading firms until today.”
Fabian set down the photo. “Wynter, this is the truth about the Quinnell family. Get ready to take over.
Some things from the Quinnell family, even if kept hidden, must never fall into the wrong hands.”
Being a national businessman was never just a casual title.
Wynter looked at the elderly figure in the photo.
