Female Novel
Chapter 317
Chapter 317 Precious Cargo Alexis did not hold back. He named the people who had dropped by the house and described whatever they had carried on their persons.
"Ms. Naomi, whom the Quinnells sponsored, came by yesterday with tonic for Mr. Quinnell Senior," he said.
Wynter raised a brow. "Tonic?"
"Yes. She would drop by the company at first, but lately, she's been delivering tonics to the house," Alexis elaborated.
"Assuming Grandpa didn't drink it, I don't think the tonic is the issue here," Wynter remarked plainly.
"Mr. Quinnell Senior didn't take one sip of it," Alexis confirmed. "I didn't let anyone into the house either. The only ones who came in were the chef and Mr. Quinnell.
Wynter's gaze darkened. "Mr. Quinnell?"
"Your father," Alexis clarified, though he sounded reluctant to dive into this conversation. "He got into a fight with Mr, Quinnell Senior earlier."
On the other line, Wynter appeared to be in deep thought. After a long pause, she said, "Alexis, could you prepare a few medicinal ingredients for me? In the meantime, keep an eye on Grandpa and don't let him see anyone until I get there, even Mr. Quinnell."
The formality with which she addressed Shane told Alexis enough- she wouldn't acknowledge Shane as her father anytime soon.

"Don't worry, Ms, Quinnell, I'll take good care of Mr. Quinnell Senior,"
Alexis promised solemnly.
"Thanks, Alexis," Wynter said. Her tone grew serious as she added, "
Remember, do not let anyone see Grandpa until I get there."
She had been feeling that something was off ever since she had that nightmare weeks ago.
Under normal circumstances, Fabian would have more than a year to live despite his condition, unless somebody was deliberately poisoning him.
If that were the case, the person poisoning Fabian must have been family or someone trusted, or Fabian wouldn't have let his guard.
down.
She tapped her phone as she contemplated. The toxins that had triggered Fabian's infection could be slow or fast-acting.
For Fabian's condition to worsen so suddenly today meant someone had probably predicted his outburst.
Meanwhile, Margaret had fallen asleep and did not know of Wynter's phone conversation. Wolf, on the other hand, was staring at her while signing something.
Wynter glanced at the driver assigned to bring them to Kingbourne and shook her head at Wolf.
As comfortable and spacious as the Alpard was, Wolf was agitated by it. He signed furiously, "Was this driver assigned to bring us to Kingbourne or to keep an eye on us? I don't like this one bit!"
Chapter 317 Precious Cargo Wynter simply tossed him a tablet and sent a message to it. "I want all the information you can find on the Quinnells before we reach our destination."
Wolf looked at the message on the tablet and grinned. He then began typing in codes.
Wynter turned to the driver and requested that he speed up. The driver worked for Dalton. Though he looked unassuming, he was well-
versed in combat.
More importantly, the Alpard was the Yarwoods' family car. Dalton. had made his intentions clear-Wynter might have been the long-lost daughter of the Quinnells, but to Dalton, she was the future mistress of the Yarwood household.
As such, the driver dared not disobey her. He sped up accordingly, and the fleet of cars behind them followed suit.
Presently, Shane was still standing qutside Fabian's study at the Quinnell residence and trying to force his way in. Alexis was still pleasant as ever, even as he refused to let Shane through.
In the end, Shane relented. He sighed and said, "Fine, I won't go in, but could you at least ask Mr. Quinnell Senior if he was serious about casting Naomi out of the family?"
Alexis adjusted his glasses. "Sorry, Mr. Quinnell, but Mr. Quinnell Senior needs to rest now."
Shane wasn't so single-minded that O. he had become heartless: I've
