The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 1148

Wynter swiftly turned her gaze to Dalton. Not only were his lies more convincing than hers, but his stoic face also lent credibility.

Wynter noticed Dalton remained expressionless throughout the deception, even throwing her a casual glance.

As expected, Margaret believed Dalton's lies. "Oh, I've heard about Mr. Stavius. My, Wolf is lucky to gain his recognition. Tell Wolf to work hard. I'll go visit him soon."

"Sure, let's visit him at Mt. Dragon together," Wynter agreed, unwilling to dampen Margaret's spirits.

Since Wynter planned to set off to Hawford, she decided to stay for a meal. She also offered some advice regarding the clinic's development but entrusted the rest to a professional manager.

Wynter recalled that Margaret had stayed by her side during the time she lost her five senses. And, despite Wynter losing her sense of self, Margaret never abandoned her.

However, the Yates family was beyond redemption, especially with Ewan's insatiable greed.

Wynter only wished that Margaret would live out her life peacefully and stop worrying about those undeserving. She also refrained from mentioning Yvette as she didn't want to cause Margaret any distress.

At that moment, Margaret recognized Whitley and exclaimed, "Oh, aren't you a resident from Waterview Alley?"

"Do you still remember me?" Whitley asked in surprise and took a step forward.

"Of course I do. You and your friends might look mean and tough, but you're all kids inside. How did you end up with Wynter? Why are you alone?" Margaret inquired.

"I ran into some troubles after arriving in Kingbourne," Whitley replied with his eyes downcast.

When he could no longer feel the existence of the one he sought, he feared that they had met a grim fate.
