Chapter 321 Wynter’s Many Talents
Wynter sauntered up to the lily pond. As she surveyed the mini
landscape, the greenery, and the water feature meticulously arranged

Fabian thought she found the set-up appealing. Beaming, he said, ”
Your brother, Albert, had a foreign designer work on this. If you like it,

“All right.” A smile curled on Wynter’s l*ps. “I’m just looking at the

rest of the household staff. Alexis was the only one in his and Wynter’s company.
Once the living room had quieted down, Fabian asked, “Wynter, I need
you to be honest with me. Do you have much knowledge about gemstones and the such?”
