Chapter 1042 Finally Learning the Truth

It’s funny though Mr. Shane. You’ve always been superstitious, yet your deny the fact that ghosts can appear in dreams,” Wynter snickered. Her words cut through Shane’s heart.

“Oh, but it’s not entirely your fault. After all, you’ve been nothing but a pawn. I doubt you’re smart enough

to understand, so I’ve brought some evidence.”

As she spoke, Wynter took out the pictures with a beaming smile.

“Declan has secretly struck a deal with the Fopylan businessmen. His butler Liam is one of the biggest

shareholders whom you wish to collaborate with.

“Quite the scheme, don’t you agree? You think you’re brilliant and resent Grandpa for not recognizing your strengths, but he’s not to blame.

*A few compliments are all it takes for you to revere another man. You’re even willing to join in his schemes. I’m sure Declan instigated your frequent arguments with Grandpa,” Wynter–calmly disclosed.

“Shut up!” Shane roared and clutched his chest as if he was about to faint.

But Wynter pressed on. She tapped on her head and scoffed, “Not only do you lack a brain, but your personality is as flawed as the other Quinnells.

“With just a little coaxing, you happily signed away your shares. Calling you an idiot is an understatement.”

Shane pounded his chest as his face flushed red in anger. “I kept the shares!” he growled in an attempt to prove something.

“Oh, really? Why don’t you ask your dear uncle where they went?” Wynter smirked.

Shane instantly turned his gaze to Declan. Clenching his fists, Declan knew that he could no longer hide his secret.

Instead of arguing about the shares, Declan shot Declan a gloomy glare. “I’ve worked my ass off for the Quinnell family for years. I deserve some compensation. Besides, I’ve helped you out a lot.”

Shane felt his world crumble at Declan’s affirmation. Declan had always been patient and loving toward him, yet it all turned out to be a facade to steal his shares and turn him against his father.

Shaking his head in disbelief, Shane muttered, “This can’t be… Did you suffer grievances, Uncle Declan?” “What grievances could he possibly suffer?” Fabian scoffed. He had completely lost faith in his son. Fabian turned to Wynter and affirmed, “I failed as a father. Leave Shane to me, Sevie. I’ll make sure he’s behind bars this time.”

Fabian understood that Wynter had only spared Shane for his sake. Unfortunately, Shane was beyond saving.

Fabian adamantly refused to let Wynter bear the brunt of potential criticisms. He turned to the crowd before laying his eyes on Kolton.

“This is a family matter, Mr. Pennington. I’m sure you’ve understood by now–in this world, a parent must

be righteous before expecting the same from their children.

“My son doesn’t have his heart in the right place. Meanwhile, Declan has been exploiting my ancestors to

steal the family’s fortune.

“Do you still intend to entertain their request and look at Wynter’s horoscope?” Fabian questioned angrily as he thumped his dragon cane on the ground.

In that instant, everyone had a glimpse of his past ruthlessness and instinctively shuddered.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Kolton dared not to mention Wynter’s horoscope further. If Kaspar ever learned about the incident, Kolton would definitely suffer a harsh punishment.
