Chapter 319 The Real Ms. Quinnell
Sean nodded. “I don’t think anyone could take such sudden news with
an open mind.”
“Chad,” Logan began, “Naomi is just an orphan sponsored by the
Quinnells. Are they obligated to adopt all the orphans they’ve sponsored then? She should leave now that the Quinnells have found their long-lost daughter.”
“Shut up,” Chad hissed angrily.
Sean quickly tried to placate both of his friends. “I am curious as to
why the Quinnells didn’t say a word about this. You don’t think the news of their daughter being found is fake, do you?”
“As if they’d let anyone know that their daughter was found in the mountains. I heard she’s illiterate,” Chad said contemptuously,
though he remained straight-faced.
“We don’t know what she looks like, but I bet the Quinnells must want
her to go through etiquette lessons before they announce her return
to make her debut easier.”
Sean rubbed his jaw thoughtfully. “She’s the polar opposite of Naomi.”
Chad sneered, “There’s no competition. Naomi’s in an entirely
different league.”
“Chad, I don’t think the Quinnells care whether the young lady is well- cultured or not as long as she’s their biological daughter,” Logan interjected exasperatedly. “Tobias even said that he never thought of Naomi as a sister anyway.”

Sean gasped. “He said that? Outright?”
Logan kept his hands on the steering wheel as he shook his head.”
Yeah, it was during a dinner party or something. He got all angry.
when someone told him his sister had arrived.
“He said Naomi wasn’t his sister and that his real sister was still
missing. Nobody had the guts to argue with him. You guys know what Tobias is like when he’s angry.”
Chad was silent after hearing this. A moment later, he said, “Tobias
doesn’t speak for the Quinnells. Mr. Quinnell does.”
Logan didn’t bother arguing with Chad and simply dismissed the
latter’s statement as one made by a lovesick fool. After all, one would
have to be foolish indeed to meddle with the Quinnells’ private affairs.
He would have stayed out of this if he were Chad, lest Tobias decide
to beat him up for interfering.
The Quinnell brothers were formidable characters, and one had to
tread carefully around them. At any rate, none of them had ever seen
Naomi as a sister.
Logan couldn’t help wondering when the public had simply treated
Naomi as the Quinnells’ adopted daughter. It was odd how that
became a commonly accepted fact, and Chad’s infatuation with
Naomi was odder still.
