The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 1037

Chapter 1037 Grandpa’s Sufferings 

As soon as Wynter spoke, the scene exploded in confusion. 

“Ashes? What ashes?” 

“What are you talking about?” 

It wasn’t just the relatives who were puzzled. Even Fabian and Albert turned their eyes toward Wynter. She had neve mentioned any ashes to them before. 

Declan, in particular, couldn’t believe she knew about the ashes. For a fleeting moment, an unprecedented panic flashed across his face, but he quickly regained his composure. 

He had also studied geomancy at Mt. Dragon. If someone had tampered with the geomantic layout, he would have known. 

She must be bluffing. This was the only explanation Declan could think of. 

With a cold sneer, he said, “This is getting more and more ridiculous. Everyone 

knows Mr. Pennington’s skills. If there was something here, don’t you think he would 

have sensed it?” 

Kolton, who had been mentioned, lifted his chin and moved his fingers thoughtfully. 

He tried to maintain his impartiality. “There’s nothing supernatural or evil here. Ms. 

Quinnell, be careful with your words.“. 

“But there’s a crow, isn’t there?” Wynter smiled. “I don’t know much about geomancy, 

but I do understand some animal behaviors. 

“Crows are scavengers. It’s unusual for it to be cawing for so long without reason, 

don’t you think?” 

Kolton opened his mouth to speak, but Wynter cut him off. “Mt. Dragon should have taught you that crows announce death, right? Mr. Pennington, surely, you’ve learned 

this.” 

“I…” Kolton fidgeted slightly. 

Wynter’s voice was mocking. “You’ve learned it, haven’t you?” 

She was doing it on purpose. If Kolton didn’t understand by now, he would be a fool. But he couldn’t tarnish Mt. Dragon’s reputation, either. 

“Of course, I’ve learned it.” Kolton glared at Wynter. “It’s the most basic entry–level knowledge in the Arcane Way.” 

Wynter smiled and addressed the crowd. “Did you hear that? Even Mr. Pennington says there’s something underground. So, how am I being ridiculous?” 

Kolton was flabbergasted. When had he ever said there was something underground? They had been 

g about the crow announcing death. 

At this point, Declan’s chest heaved with anger. 

Shane, still confused, interjected, “Even if crows are scavengers, that doesn’t mean 

there are ashes underground. 

“Your disrespectful tone is unacceptable. Your grandpa might indulge you, but I 

won’t! It’s wrong to slander people like this!” 

“Slander?” Wynter smiled. “Are you saying Great–uncle feels wronged? That’s easily solved. Let’s dig and see for ourselves.” 

Declan’s expression changed dramatically. “You can’t move this layout.”
