Chapter 696 She Should Be the Quinnells‘ Heiress
When Austin got in the car, he observed Logan and whistled,
“Logan, this is the first time I’ve seen you rebuke Chad in front of others. What do you mean by showing him respect for the last time?”
“It’s nothing.” Logan was distracted.
Austin had also heard of the Winstons and was aware of their problematic relationship with their siblings. But Logan had given up on inheriting the company from the start.
“Why is your brother unable to let go of Naomi?” Austin changed the subject. “He’s stubborn and insists on confronting Wynter head–on. If she takes action against him, he’ll be doomed.”
Logan abruptly asked, “Do you think he does everything for Naomi?”
“Who else could it be for?” Austin appeared naive.
Logan lowered his eyes. “Maybe I’m overthinking it. My brother always…”
“Always what?” Austin couldn’t hear the rest clearly. Logan didn’t want him to know either.
Logan knew, however, that Chad always acted following Clyde’s wishes. He wasn’t sure why. But when he returned to the Winston residence recently, he felt a chill. Perhaps it was due to fear. He was afraid he
wasn’t aware of his family’s true colors.
“Nothing.” Logan turned the steering wheel. “I’ll drop you at the subway entrance. I want to go back to the
Winston residence.”
Austin gazed at him. “Are you going to visit Mr. Winston Senior? You’re amazing. I’m scared every time I see him. He left a deep impression on me when I was little.
“Go ahead. Help me offer him a fruit basket. I hope he gets better soon.”
Logan nodded. Clyde was indeed ill for a long time. He hoped everything went smoothly and that Chad
wouldn’t cause any trouble during this period.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the private room became extremely awkward after Logan left. When Naomi came in, her smile stiffened when she saw the scene.
She only had two friends left who weren’t from the socialite circle. They may, at most, be considered
wealthy. They weren’t even deserving of attending such an event in the past.
However, since the last family reunion banquet, the ladies who had greeted her affectionately no longer
allowed the socialites to get close to her. She was even unable to Invite some scions. Indeed, those people were always realistic,
Naomi clenched her hands and sneered inwardly, but she still appeared elegant.

“What’s going on?” she asked gently, “I invite you guys to dine. Why do you look so unhappy?”
A loose–tongued scion revealed everything that happened just now.
Naomi gazed at Chad. “I know you feel sorry for me, but I’m doing well now. Wynter has her reasons not to accept me. After all, I wouldn’t be who I am without the Quinnells.”
At this point, she changed the subject and grinned. “Don’t worry about me, Chad. I’m here to tell you that I’ll be on TV. I’ll probably be able to find some good stuff.”
