The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 1021

Declan's attention immediately shifted at those words.

Liam adjusted the lamp slightly higher. "Mr. Quinnell, I'm concerned that Mr. Albert isn't quite aligned with us. His attitude toward Ms. Horton today wasn't very welcoming."

"That's true." Declan squinted. "After all, he's not like his dad. We'll have to test his intentions."

Albert had endured long enough, but he knew he couldn't expose himself. He needed to give Wynter time.

Though Wynter had said he should follow his heart, he decided to wait for Wynter.

Albert also wanted to know what was going on with Declan, the Quinnell family's savior, who was perfect in front of others.

At the same time, in Quinnell Villa's backyard, a crow emerged silently from a black mist, unseen by anyone. He had arrived on command.

Dalton couldn't enter this formation, but the crow could. However…

"Lord, should we investigate Ms. Quinnell's past life?" The crow could see the mirror image in the formation.

He continued, "The voluntary dissipation of a heroic spirit is understandable, but that Soul Commanding Badge isn't something just anyone can obtain, right?"

The crow scrutinized Dalton's profile cautiously. "Lord, do you think Ms. Quinnell might be connected to that—"

"The formation is breaking," Dalton interrupted. His handsome face was devoid of emotion, but his pale complexion was stark against the night. "She's coming out. Stay here."

The crow cawed softly.

Dalton's dark eyes were unreadable. "Celestial Dragon is here. You two can catch up."

"Are you suggesting I take Celestial Dragon to meet you?" the crow speculated.

Dalton supported himself with a black umbrella, gesturing for the crow to return to where he had landed.

To disguise himself as a common bird, he needed to suppress his presence. The crow swooped back.
