Chapter 317
317 Precious Cargo
Alexis did not hold back. He named the people who had dropped by the house and described whatever
they had carried on their persons.
“Ms. Naomi, whom the Quinnells sponsored, came by yesterday with
tonic for Mr. Quinnell Senior,” he said.
Wynter raised a brow. “Tonic?”
“Yes. She would drop by the company at first, but lately, she’s been
delivering tonics to the house,” Alexis elaborated.
“Assuming Grandpa didn’t drink it, I don’t think the tonic is the issue
here,” Wynter remarked plainly.
“Mr. Quinnell Senior didn’t take one sip of it,” Alexis confirmed. “I
didn’t let anyone into the house either. The only ones who came in
were the chef and Mr. Quinnell.
Wynter’s gaze darkened. “Mr. Quinnell?”
“Your father,” Alexis clarified, though he sounded reluctant to dive
into this conversation. “He got into a fight with Mr, Quinnell Senior
earlier.”
On the other line, Wynter appeared to be in deep thought. After a long pause, she said, “Alexis, could
you prepare a few medicinal
ingredients for me? In the meantime, keep an eye on Grandpa and don’t let him see anyone until I get
there, even Mr. Quinnell.”
The formality with which she addressed Shane told Alexis enough- she wouldn’t acknowledge Shane
as her father anytime soon.

“Don’t worry, Ms, Quinnell, I’ll take good care of Mr. Quinnell Senior,”
Alexis promised solemnly.
“Thanks, Alexis,” Wynter said. Her tone grew serious as she added, ”
Remember, do not let anyone see Grandpa until I get there.”
She had been feeling that something was off ever since she had that
nightmare weeks ago.
Under normal circumstances, Fabian would have more than a year to
live despite his condition, unless somebody was deliberately poisoning him.
If that were the case, the person poisoning Fabian must have been
family or someone trusted, or Fabian wouldn’t have let his guard.
down.
She tapped her phone as she contemplated. The toxins that had
triggered Fabian’s infection could be slow or fast-acting.
For Fabian’s condition to worsen so suddenly today meant someone had probably predicted his
outburst.
Meanwhile, Margaret had fallen asleep and did not know of Wynter’s phone conversation. Wolf, on the
other hand, was staring at her while
signing something.
Wynter glanced at the driver assigned to bring them to Kingbourne
and shook her head at Wolf.
As comfortable and spacious as the Alpard was, Wolf was agitated
by it. He signed furiously, “Was this driver assigned to bring us to
Kingbourne or to keep an eye on us? I don’t like this one bit!”

Wynter simply tossed him a tablet and sent a message to it. “I want
all the information you can find on the Quinnells before we reach our
destination.”
Wolf looked at the message on the tablet and grinned. He then began
typing in codes.
Wynter turned to the driver and requested that he speed up. The driver
worked for Dalton. Though he looked unassuming, he was well-
versed in combat.
More importantly, the Alpard was the Yarwoods’ family car. Dalton.
had made his intentions clear-Wynter might have been the long-lost
daughter of the Quinnells, but to Dalton, she was the future mistress
of the Yarwood household.
As such, the driver dared not disobey her. He sped up accordingly,
and the fleet of cars behind them followed suit.
Presently, Shane was still standing qutside Fabian’s study at the
Quinnell residence and trying to force his way in. Alexis was still
pleasant as ever, even as he refused to let Shane through.
In the end, Shane relented. He sighed and said, “Fine, I won’t go in, but
could you at least ask Mr. Quinnell Senior if he was serious about
casting Naomi out of the family?”
Alexis adjusted his glasses. “Sorry, Mr. Quinnell, but Mr. Quinnell
Senior needs to rest now.”
Shane wasn’t so single-minded that he had become heartless. “I’ve
brought Dr. Shepherd with me. Why don’t we let him examine my
dad’s condition?”
Stil smiling Alesis answered, Munnel Seniors doctor is on the
way right now Let’s wait for her before we proceed
Shane grew grim at Alexis uncompromising behavior and snapped
You’re trying to prevent me from seeing my father? Are you going to
deprive him of medical attention even when his condition is
deteriorating? Who will bear the responsibility if anything happens to
him
The last part was directed at Alexis pressure him into letting Shane
