Chapter 288 The Quinnell Brothers

Tobias’ message was met with a series of replies from his older

brothers.

CEO Albert: “Set up a meeting and solve the problem yourself.”

Racer Blake: “Hey, Rowan runs in the same circles as you. Ask him for

help.”

A-lister Rowan: “I’m busy. Go ask Sebastian.”

Attorney Seb: “My fees aren’t cheap.

Toby the Celebrity: “…”

Attorney Seb: “Ask your agency. I doubt the Yarwoods would let you

be plagued with controversy.”

A-lister Rowan: “What can his agency do about his crappy acting?”

Racer Blake: “I’ve got it! Tobias, why don’t you quit acting and go back

to run the family business?”

CEO Albert: “I second that.”

Toby the Celebrity: “Nice try, guys, but no dice. If anything, Elliot

should be the one to quit his dangerous job and run the family

business.”

Attorney Seb: “Elliot hasn’t been checking his messages. He’s

probably on an assignment again.”

Racer Blake: “Pitching in a million dollars for Tobias to run Quinnell

Changi za The Gonnell Brothers

Corporation.”

CEO Albert: “Five million dollars.”

Incognito Elliot: “@Everyone, I have news.”

Attorney Seb: “Elliot?”

Toby the Celebrity: “Do my eyes deceive me? Is Elliot joining our chat?”

Incognito Elliot: “Before I say anything, I need you all to calm down.”

There was a pause before Elliot added: “Our little sister has been

found.”

The group chat fell silent at once.

Where the six men had been scrolling their phones one second, they

were sending out voice notes the next. Elliot could tell how anxious

all of them were over the phone.

“Where is she?”

“We’ll go over right away!”

Pleased to know that at least he had seen Wynter before any of them,

Elliot said, “I can’t tell you where she is right now, and I’ll need your

guys to keep this a secret.”

“Why?” Tobias demanded. As a rising celebrity, he was used to being

blunt.

Elliot replied impassively, “I don’t want word to get out, especially

from Albert.”

“You’re worried I might tell Naomi,” Albert mused, his voice deep and

smooth. “Do you hate her that much, Elliot?”

Elliot pointed out bluntly, “As long as she doesn’t bring up the matter of adoption, then all’s well. She’s

just one of the many children our family has sponsored, and I have no qualms with that.

“But if she starts getting any ideas, such as taking our sister’s place

in the family, I’ll never forgive her.”

Albert chided, “She’s not manipulative like that, Elliot.”

Elliot’s smile did not reach his eyes. “I’m just taking precautions. Also,

now that our sister’s back, shouldn’t Naomi leave?”

“Well, duh. There’s more than one way our family could carry out

charity work. We don’t necessarily have to adopt Naomi to show her

we’re grateful,” opined Sebastian Quinnell, the fourth-eldest brother

and a famous attorney. “I’m with Elliot. I won’t let anyone take our sister’s place.”

Tears welled up in Elliot’s eyes as he recounted, “I could have died if.

Wynter, our sister, hadn’t saved us. You have no idea what kind of hell

she’s been through since she was kidnapped.”

“Elliot,” Albert said patiently, sighing. “I never said anything about

anyone taking Wynter’s place. I’m merely pointing out the fact that Mom and Dad are attached to

Naomi after all these years.”

“I don’t care about what Mom and Dad think,” Elliot argued. “I want to hear what you think ”

As much as Albert wanted peace in their family, he drew a line at letting his sister suffer.

Frankly, he couldn’t care less about Naomi’s adoption as long as it

wasn’t at Wynter’s expense. With that in mind, he declared, “If Naomi does plan on taking Wynter’s

place, then I’ll make her regret it for the

rest of her life.”

“So how come you almost died, Elliot?” one of the brothers asked.

Elliot told them what happened during the last few days. When he was done, all his brothers wanted to

storm into Paradise Village and

burn it down.

“Grandpa plans to bring Wynter back to Kingbourne. Mr. Lloyd was.

right when he said Kingbourne is where our real battle lies.

“Someone’s bound to snub Wynter for what she’s been through,” Elliot

said after telling his brothers to calm down.

Rowan agreed. “I’m in Meridon right now, but I’ll go back as soon as shooting wraps. Rumors were

going around after the Yarwoods.

called off the engagement last time.

“Our circle can be vicious, and I don’t want Wynter to be bullied the.

moment she comes home. In any case, she should be the one who calls off the engagement, not the

Yarwoods.”

Elliot interjected with a frown, “Hold up. Rowan, did you just say

Dalton called off the engagement?”

“Yeah,” Rowan answered. “You’re away so much that you must have

missed the news. It happened some time ago.”

Elliot narrowed his eyes. “And that man has the nerve to approach Wynter?” He couldn’t believe Dalton

had the audacity!
