The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 287

Chapter 287 Sabotage

Elliot drew a deep breath as he lay in the intensive care unit of

Havenlight Hospital.

It seemed as if he was the only person in the world who had yet to

meet Wynter, his long-lost sister. Everyone else had already met her,

even considering adopting Naomi? Doesn’t he know Wynter has been

didn’t tell your father that Ms. Quinnell has been found.”

Most of the Quinnells were sharp and intuitive, not airheads. Elliot

understood at once the implication behind Ryan’s words.

“Is there something bothering Grandpa?” Elliot guessed.
