Chapter 384 Sarcasm
Shaneâs head felt like it was about to explode, and his expression was extremely pained. He opened
his mouth as if wanting to give an explanation.
âSevie, I didnât mean it like that. I hadnât seen you before and didnât know it was you. Thatâs why I said
those things. I-â
âMr. Quinnell,â Wynter interrupted his words in a calm tone. âThe daughter you want to reunite with is
standing next to you. It isnât me.â
Shane froze before saying subconsciously, âSevle, how can you say that?â
âWhat do you think I should say then, Mr. Quinnell?â Wynter raised her eyebrows slightly. âShould I
joyfully acknowledge you as my father?â
Shane frowned. âI am your biological father, Sevie. You canât bear a grudge against me just because of
a misunderstanding.â
âOh.â Wynterâs smile was breathtaking, and her long black hair was cascading. âIâm afraid you will be
disappointed. My greatest virtue is holding grudges.â
Shane finally realized that she probably didnât want to acknowledge him. He was starting to panic.
âI know what I did just now was wrong,â Shane said, stepping forward.
He spoke sincerely, âI have been looking for you ever since you came back, but no one told me what
your look like or where you live. I was worried, too. Itâs been so many days, and I finally get to see you.â
If it were someone else, seeing a middleâaged man in tears would be touching.
But Wynter was different. After all, she was proficient in psychology and forensic science. She had
lived in a haze for so many years, with only a few memories from her childhood.
Some of those memories had gradually resurfaced.
If it werenât for Atwater, she might have been sold by human traffickers and thrown onto the streets to
beg.
In her few memories, she could recall having one chance to escape when the traffickers wanted to
return
her for ransom.
But it was precisely at this moment that news came out that the Quinnell

The traffickers had once called Shane, but he didnât answer.

*So, women are worthless. Even a rich family like the Quinnell family can just move on by adopting
another after losing their daughter.
These fuzzy fragments of memories had only surfaced after she arrived at Kingbourne.
To her, Shane seemed almost transparent.
YOU
Wynter wasnât in a hurry. She waited until his emotions calmed down before saying lazily, âMr. Quinnell,
since you miss me so much, why didnât you come to find me in the past ten years or so? Instead, were
thinking about adopting a sponsee to replace me.
Her words hit too close to home.
The atmosphere at the scene seemed to freeze.
Shane was speechless, and his mouth was agape. ââ¦â¦.. Lâ
âYou thought I was dead, and you thought I caused Momâs illness.â Wynterâs gaze moved slowly as she
spoke casually.
âSometimes, you even couldnât help but think that my abduction cast a shadow over the whole family
and
that I was unfortunate.
âSo, you wanted to choose a daughter who could bring you luck. This one happens to be suitable.
Sheâs lively, cheerful, and loyal to you, while I am just a harbinger of disaster.â
With each word Wynter spoke, Shaneâs body couldnât help but tremble. He looked extremely
embarrassed.
âMr. Quinnell, Iâm sorry to disappoint you. Iâm tough, and I didnât die.â
As Wynter finished her last sentence, a sudden burst of crying came from beside her. âI forbid you to
say such things about yourself!â

She had been quiet for too long. During the confrontation, her gaze turned from bewilderment to
surprise.
She had wanted to touch Wynterâs face several times but still couldnât believe it was real. Was her
precious daughter really back? Was her daughter standing right in front of her?
