Chapter 287 Sabotage
Elliot drew a deep breath as he lay in the intensive care unit ofHavenlight Hospital.
It seemed as if he was the only person in the world who had yet tomeet Wynter, his long-lost sister. Everyone else had already met her,as far as he knew.
He glanced at Ryan despondently. “Hey, Mr. Lloyd. Shouldn’t Grandpaat least bring Wynter here to visit me?”
“Mr. Quinnell did come by, but you were asleep,” Ryan said as hepeeled an apple for Elliot. “Alexis told me Wynter’s been taking care ofMr. Quinnell after his condition relapsed.”
Elliot had a deadpan look as his gaze flickered down to his bandagedshoulder. “I need someone to take care of me too.”
“Mr. Elliot,” Ryan chided quietly with a smile. “Your grandfather hasfinally reunited with Ms. Quinnell. I'm sure he'll remember you after a few days and come to visit you. Just be patient.”Elliot chuckled. “I guess Grandpa hasn't changed at all.”
Ryan grinned and made no reply.
“Well, that’s probably for the best,” Elliot said with approval. “At least then everybody will know who’s the real heiress of theQuinnell family.
Hearing this, Ryan handed Elliot the freshly peeled apple andexplained, “The thing is, your father called Mr. Quinnell this morningChap 287 Sabotage
and suggested that the Quinnells hold a family meeting.
“He plans to formally adopt Ms. Naomi, and you can imagine how furious your grandfather is about that.”Elliot frowned at this as emotions flickered in his eyes. “Why is Dadeven considering adopting Naomi? Doesn’t he know Wynter has beenRyan quickly motioned for Elliot to keep his voice down. “Mr. Quinnelldidn’t tell your father that Ms. Quinnell has been found.”
Most of the Quinnells were sharp and intuitive, not airheads. Elliotunderstood at once the implication behind Ryan’s words.novelbin
“Is there something bothering Grandpa?” Elliot guessed.
Ryan did not hold back for once. “Everything went smoothly when we started tracking down Ms. Quinnell this time. But halfwaythrough, we kept feeling as if someone was sabotaging us and always stayed one step ahead of us.
“We knew Granite Village was a treacherous place, and the strangetopography of Havenlight County made looking for Ms. Quinnell evenharder.
“Nevertheless, Mr. Quinnell and | knew there was another reason why our operations kept getting hindered -someone else wastrying to stop us from bringing Ms. Quinnell home!”
Elliot clenched his right fist when he heard this. A dangerous look flashed in his eyes as he bit out, “Who?”
“We haven't found any potential leads, so we’re only guessing at this point.” Ryan glanced at Elliot. “There’s a storm brewing inKingbourne.

“l will,” Elliot said, his gaze dark. “I can’t believe someone would target Grandpa. What do they take the Quinnells for? Choppedliver?”
Ryan laughed. “Naturally, Mr. Quinnell is tougher than he looks. His only concern is that Ms. Quinnell wouldn't get the supportshe needs
if she comes home with us to Kingbourne.”
Intelligent as he was, Elliot stared at Ryan and remarked, “You reallycare for Wynter, don’t you, Mr. Lloyd?”
Ryan blinked. “Oh, I... uh...”
“Thank you, Mr. Lloyd.” Elliot beamed. “It’s no wonder Wynter likes you

Elliot could only hope that Wynter would continue meeting peoplewho were as kind as Ryan down the road.
He was well aware of what she had gone through. Fanny andDickson, the wretched couple from the mountains, were worse thdevils.
Elliot and his brothers would have greatly failed Wynter if theycouldn’t promise her security and comfort after her return.
