Chapter 1044 You Only Care About Yourself

Shane deeply regretted his wrongdoings. He shouldn’t have mistreated Wynter, who was his own flesh

and blood.

If he had cared about and loved her as Fabian did, perhaps things might have turned out differently. He wouldn’t have lost touch with his sons, and his wife wouldn’t have divorced him.

Hoping to redeem himself, Shane turned to Albert miserably. “You know your father best, Albert. I was

misled, but I never meant to hurt Sevie!”

Albert refuted coldly, “Oh, really? Then why did Mom fall ill? How did the abductor know that Tobias was

the Sevie’s only caretaker that day?

“It was all you–you told Declan everything. Indeed, I’m the only one who truly knows you. I know you’re a man who’s willing to do anything for your own gain.

“That said, you refused to stain your own hands because you still needed to keep up the appearance of a

good parent.

“We were young and ignorant back then. All these years, Tobias has been drowning in guilt and trauma, believing he was to blame for his sister’s abduction.

“And Mom has suffered in pain and sorrow over the loss of her daughter. But you? You did nothing but

watch! You even tried to stop Sevie from coming back.”

Looking at his father, Albert stated sorrowfully yet determinedly, “Now that the truth has come to light,.

you finally realize how you’ve been manipulated. You have no choice but to turn to your children for help.”

With his scheme exposed, Shane turned to Wynter desperately.

“I never wanted to drive you away, Sevie. I was wrong and committed grave errors, but I promise it won’t happen again. I assure you, there won’t be another adopted child in this family.”

Having expressed genuine remorse, Shane hoped that Wynter would forgive him. Unfortunately, Shane

didn’t know his daughter well.

Wynter started with a smile, “I agree there won’t be another adopted child in the family, but the last thing we want is ungrateful traitors in the family. You are one, and so is Declan.”

While Shane was shaken by Wynter’s declaration, Declan looked at Fabian and growled, “You and your granddaughter have put on quite a show, Fabian. And it’s all because of the shares I hold. Well, I don’t

mind selling them to you.”

Gripping his dragon cane, Fabian angrily refuted, “A show? Grandpa’s remains are still lying there!

“Since your adoption into the family, we have not once mistreated you. Yet, you plotted to destroy the family! And you dare say it was all an act?”

At that point, Declan’s only recourse was to sell his shares and walk away with the money.

“That’s all I have to say. So, are you going to buy my shares or what?

“You know, I can always sell them to the Foplyan businessmen instead. They have always been interested in the Quinnell family,” Declan threatened.

He knew that Fabian was determined to prevent the family from falling under the Foplyans.

As he met Declan’s sinister gaze, Fabian couldn’t help reminiscing the old times.

From a young age, they had been close and were taught to never fight over the family’s wealth. The same values had been instilled in the grandchildren, leading to their disinterest in inheriting the company.

Fabian had always believed that Declan felt the same. After all, Declan had once risked his life to save

him.

Sentimental as ever, Fabian felt distressed by Declan’s betrayal. However, the sight of Gordon’s cremation urn and Declan’s scornful taunts strangely brought a sense of relief to him.
