Chapter 326 The Next Level
Dalton slid the plate of steak he had sliced up over to Wynter. “She
wanted to marry into the Yarwood family, but I turned her down.”
Wynter stared at him speechlessly.
“I figured I should tell you myself before you get the wrong idea,” he
explained, though exasperation filled his sparkling eyes. “You’re
unnervingly fl*ppant for someone I’m rumored to be dating.”
Wynter gave the steak a cursory look before saying, “I have yet to hear
about your valiant effort of turning down a young woman’s
affections, but I still care about you enough to tell you to stay away
from her.”
“Got it,” Dalton replied in amusement, wondering if Wynter was
jealous of Naomi.
But jealousy was not the reason behind Wynter’s warning. “She has a strange scent on her that could be bad for your health.”
“That’s it?” he asked incredulously under his breath.
“Sorry, what was that?” Wynter couldn’t hear him over the saxophone.
“Nothing,” Dalton dismissed with a pleasant smile. “Do you think. she’s plotting against the Yarwoods? What did you find out after you
visited the Quinnell residence?”
Sometimes, Wynter thought Dalton was too smart for his own good. He could read between the lines even though the information she had
given him was vague.

“Grandpa’s condition is a result of toxins. In other words, he’s been
poisoned.” Wynter left out the strange set-up she had seen in the
Quinnell residence.
“It’s almost impossible for outsiders to bring in the poison, which
means it’s an inside job.”
Dalton suddenly thought of something and asked, “You once told me
that medical incense was bad for me if I breathed it in over a long
period. Do you think she had something to do with that too?”
