Chapter 565

Chapter 565 Mom Appears

Unexpectedly, as soon as the child opened her eyes, she spat at her. Arianna felt utterly repulsed.

Now that she’s grown up, she’s even more aggravating than before!

The Quinnell family shouldn’t have brought her back.

Arianna kept her thoughts to herself, though her face betrayed guilt.

She knew she had to say something. Otherwise, the Winston family’s reputation would suffer!

So, Arianna cleverly called out to Shane, “Shane, please clarify things for our Winston family. We truly

didn’t mean any harm. Clyde always reminded us not to forget the kindness of the Quinnell family.”

“I understand, I understand,” Shane responded, trying to redeem himself at that moment. “Do we really

need to explain the relationship between the Winston and Quinnell families? Wynter has just returned

and is overthinking things.”

“But Wendy, she should exercise more restraint in the future,” Shane continued, appearing to scold

Wendy while actually downplaying the issue. “You often speak impulsively, without considering the

consequences. Luckily, I’m here today to help clear things up. Wynter won’t take offense.”

“If we hau… clarified your actions today, it could have caused a rift between the Quinnell and Winston

families.”

“I’ve worked alongside your father for years. Your mom and Mrs. Quinnell are good friends as well. You

should also grow closer to Wynter in the future,” Shane advised.

Wendy replied helplessly, “Mr. Quinnell, I understand. I’ll definitely change in the future.”

“It’s good that you’re willing to change. You’re still a good kid,” Shane remarked, feeling he handled the

matter fairly. He then turned to Wynter and said, “Sevie, you should also show some sisterly tolerance.”

Wynter remained emotionless, but her three brothers couldn’t contain themselves any longer.

Especially Sebastian. He even questioned whether the person before him was truly his father.

While Shane had always lacked independent thought since he was young, he wasn’t foolish. Sebastian

wondered if the benefits the Winston family secretly provided to the Quinnell family had become

significant enough for his father to disregard everything.

Sebastian stepped forward, about to speak.

Then, Wynter’s laughter broke through. “Mr. Quinnell, you seem incapable of discerning the

appropriate occasion. Was Elliot’s demeanor not clear enough just now? Or do you believe that I, your

recently discovered daughter, am easily manipulated?

“Why do you keep popping up everywhere?” Wynter’s smile was faint as she approached Shane.

“At first, I didn’t want to engage with you. After all, you’re still Grandpa’s son.

“But Mr. Quinnell, what did you do after I was abducted? You found a sponsee. You even considered

adopting her,” Wynter continued.

“Everyone here knows I came from the backwoods. It’s true that I lived a miserable life. When I couldn’t

eat and was beaten by traffickers, you pampered another girl like a princess,” she added.

“Now that I’m back, you’re asking me to be generous? When I was on the brink of death, why didn’t you

ask yourself to search for me harder?” Each of Wynter’s words carried weight, despite her calm

demeanor.

Shane was visibly flustered. “I–Who said I didn’t search for you?”

“It was my mom, my grandpa, and my brothers who searched for me. You-” Wynter’s tone remained

steady. “You were too preoccupied with building your career.”

Shane’s gaze darted nervously among the people around him. “Someone had to run the company!

Your mom was seriously ill at the time.”

“So you found a sponsee to pacify her,” Wynter said, a hint of amusement in her voice.

Upon hearing this, Naomi started to feel sorry again. Her eyes welled up with tears.

Observing Naomi’s distress, Winnie interjected, “Sevie, regardless of anything, your mom’s health

improved because of Naomi. Your mom wouldn’t want you to hold onto grudges like this.”

“Winnie, you’re mistaken. My daughter did nothing wrong.”
