The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 1142

Ironically, one would finally mature upon recognizing that not all parents genuinely loved their children.

Some desired the glory brought upon them, while others sought dominance and control. Some favored sons over daughters, and others overwhelmed their children with overprotectiveness.

Many failed to understand the harsh reality and never stopped questioning, though their answers remained unheard.

For Alijah, his desire for immortality outweighed all concerns in his life.

Wynter forbade anyone from touching Alijah's corpse. She took out a talisman and drew on it.

"I suggest cremating Mr. Alijah's body by this afternoon. Don't let anyone stay in this room for now. And Austin…"

Upon hearing his name called, Austin lifted his eyes sorrowfully. Wynter glanced at his shoulder and handed him a lucky coin.

"Here, hold onto this. You probably need to take some herbal baths, so I'll write you a prescription later.

"As for the sigil, the fastest way to remove it from your shoulder is through acts of kindness. Your merits will repress any lingering resentments," Wynter remarked.

"I know. That's why you asked my mom and the others to make donations," Austin replied softly.

"There's no harm in doing good. Over the years, the Fentons might have conducted wrongdoings in businesses, whether by accident or deception. You may have unknowingly borne personal burdens," Wynter explained.

She was only willing to give further advice for Austin's sake. Despite being family, Austin differed greatly from his egotistical grandfather.
