The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 1115

"Wynter warned me to be careful, given my constitution. So, I didn't expose myself. I pretended not to notice anything.

"If it weren't for Austin being in the bathroom and preventing me from using it, I wouldn't have ventured into the Fenton family's main hall.

"It was odd that despite the early hour, the entire Fenton residence was devoid of housekeepers. It was as if they had all been dismissed.

"I was already suspicious at that point. When I emerged from the bathroom, I witnessed that scene."

The image was etched deeply in Logan's mind. He had tiptoed back, his heart pounding in his chest, terrified of being discovered. Upon returning, he inquired about Alijah's recent behavior from Austin.

Austin, engrossed in his video game, replied nonchalantly, "Why would my grandpa act strangely? The old man just wants me to learn from the Quinnells. Do you think I'm cut out for that?

"Oh, and he also mentioned that I should learn from your older brother. Your grandpa knows mine well. What's up with you lately? Why haven't you been home?"

Logan avoided the question, fixated on confirming whether he had witnessed the truth or if his mind was playing tricks on him.

The following day, after receiving Wynter's message, Alijah summoned Logan to the study. Still shaken by the previous night's events, Logan attempted to come up with an excuse to decline.

Suddenly, Alijah put down his cutleries and lifted his gaze. "Logan, did you see something yesterday?"

"No, I didn't!" Logan blurted out in a hasty denial. He didn't know he had fallen for a linguistic trap.

Alijah chuckled, his silver hair and beard contrasting with his unusually grim expression.
