Chapter 128
After spending some time together, Quincy was beginning to understand why Winnie had the attitude she did towards the Hendersons.
As the biological son, he himself felt resentment when he sensed the unfairness in his mother’s. treatment of Kathryn, and Winnie had endured it for eighteen years.
Quincy wasn’t oblivious before, he just didn’t take it to heart.
“What’s your suggestion?” Quincy asked, without getting hung up on formalities, his mind set on resolving the current issue.
Candace and the others were also curious.
From what Quincy had said before, the ghost girl would always appear suddenly in his dreams, sleeping at the far end of his bed, and each night she seemed to sleep closer than the night before. Judging by her actions, this ghost girl probably had a thing for Quincy.
Could Winnie seriously be advising Quincy to be with the ghost girl?
Candace’s imagination ran wild, even picturing the scene in her head.
The others gave Quincy looks of sympathy.
Winnie, oblivious to the expressions of the others, glanced at Quincy and seemed to look through him to the Henderson living room behind him. With a calm and light voice, she said,
“It’s simple, just move out of the house.”
She knew about the ghost entangling Quincy.
Back when she lived in the Henderson estate, this ghost and another were quite well–behaved, even after she had expelled them once. They returned and just nestled quietly in the corners.
They didn’t harm anyone, so naturally, Winnie had no reason to forcibly destroy them.
She just let them nestle in the corners of the Henderson estate. But she hadn’t expected that after she left, these mischievous spirits would start causing trouble again.
After Winnie succinctly delivered her advice, Quincy and the others were visibly stunned.
“Move out of the house… Just like that?”
Quincy was still trying to wrap his head around it.
Kane couldn’t help but interject. “Isn’t the ghost after Mr. Henderson and wants to marry him?”
Clearly, he and Candace were on the same page.
Candace nodded vehemently in agreement, “Yeah, why not stage a fake wedding and burn a paper husband to her or something!”
Winnie gave them a strange look, “Who said the ghost was after a person?”
Chapter 128
Whether it was that ghost or her companions, they were all initially fixated on the house.
Winnie hadn’t delved deep into the matter, but it was clear they had an attachment to the mansion that prevented them from moving on, and after staying in one place for so long, they were close to becoming bound spirits.
But they weren’t true bound spirits. Winnie had the ability to force them to stay away, but that didn’t mean she would, especially not for Quincy.
Winnie didn’t want to bother with such efforts, hence her straightforward suggestion.
Quincy stared at Winnie, making sure she wasn’t joking. His expression soured.
Suzan and Kathryn were incredulous at her so–called “advice.”
“You want us to give up the house? On what grounds?!” Suzan balked.
Did Winnie have any idea how much the house was worth now?
Suzan felt that Winnie wasn’t sincerely trying to help the Hendersons and was even scheming for them to incur more losses!
Just like the time she tricked Kathryn out of five million and then went ahead to give that recording to that little vixen Catherine to post online.
As Suzan glared at Winnie, the live stream audience, already swayed by previous rumors, was taken aback by her venomous look.
Their doubts deepened.
“Mrs. Henderson wasn’t as gentle and generous as she seemed. Perhaps there was more to Winnie’s adoption by the Hendersons than met the eye?”
“The drama of the wealthy was never straightforward.”
“Because the harassment is directed at you,” Winnie replied calmly to Suzan, but before she could dwell on it, Winnie nonchalantly added, “I’ve given my advice. Whether you take it or not is up to you.” With that, she stepped aside, as if her work there was done.
Quincy’s face was a mask of internal conflict.
If what Winnie said was true, he had been looking at the problem all wrong.
If it weren’t for the live broadcast, he might have been able to convince his father to sell the house to get rid of the ghost.
But now, with the issue made public on the show, everyone would know there was something wrong with the Henderson mansion, and even if they wanted to sell, no one would want it.
If no one would buy it, then they’d have to leave it empty. That would mean a direct loss of millions for the Hendersons!

Chapter 178
Quincy couldn’t make that decision, and he started trying to negotiate with Winnie.
Ned, as the show’s host, finally found his role.
Stepping forward, he didn’t try to persuade Winnie on Quincy’s behalf but asked, “Winnie, it sounds like you know exactly what’s going on with Mr. Henderson. Could you explain to us in detail? Why would moving out solve the problem?”
Winnie looked at Ned, then at the camera. “Are you sure you want me to go into detail?”
