The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 259

Chapter 259 Can’t Dislike Elliot

Upon hearing Garfield’s words, Wynter paused. Her hand hovered over the purple sugilite pendant. Ryan glanced at Wynter, his m*uth slightly agape. If that was the case, then Wynter…

Wynter knew what Ryan was thinking. She furrowed her brows slightly and said, “I was switched at birth, not trafficked.”

At least, that was what the Quirks had claimed, though they weren’t exactly trustworthy. Wynter decided to keep that part to herself. Honestly, she found the actions of the Quinnells, raising that spoiled

woman, rather unacceptable.

According to Ryan, the Quinnells had been spoiling Naomi simply

because she looked too much like Ms. Quinnell when she was young.

From Wynter’s perspective, it was akin to projecting love onto a

surrogate.

Nevertheless, it was understandable to lose track of and fail to locate

a child back then, especially in remote areas.

After all, the internet was not as widespread at the time. Moreover, facial recognition, DNA sampling, and household registration checks were not as advanced as they were now.

Moreover, human traffickers often used cunning strategies, making it extremely difficult to recover abducted children. Many parents traversed mountains and rivers, prematurely aging in their relentless search.

However, Wynter found the Quinnells’ decision to raise a child solely

because she resembled their lost girl rather… incomprehensible.

If all parents in the world acted similarly and allowed a stranger to replace their missing daughter, what hope would remain for those abducted girls who still clung to the hope of being reunited with their

families?

Elliot couldn’t quite pinpoint it, but he sensed a subtle reluctance from Wynter toward the Quinnell family, despite her smiling demeanor and light-hearted attitude. His intuition suggested that she harbored some aversion toward the Quinnell family.

The realization left Elliot feeling somewhat disappointed, though he couldn’t quite understand why. Nevertheless, his overwhelming determination to find his little sister overshadowed these sentiments.

He turned his gaze toward Dalton. It was evident that the two were acquainted, but not particularly close.

“Hand him over to me, and I’ll owe you one,” Elliot said urgently.

Wynter’s attention was drawn by Elliot’s words, causing her to glance at him. Despite his injury, Elliot continued to stand protectively close

in front of her.
