Chapter 374
374 Marie’s Identity
“In a moment.” Wynter was preoccupied. “I’m teaching them to keep up with the trends.”
Austin understood. “I’ll get it done immediately.”
“Wait till the seal is lifted before you go.” Wynter passed him three mahogany twigs to be placed by the
bedroom window and handed three more to Logan. “You, too.”
Both of them were extremely moved. “We don’t know how to thank you enough.”
“You can thank me through market rate,” Wynter said as she nudged
Wolf.
Wolf immediately took out the QR code.
Wynter asked Ronan, “Uncle Ronan, how much does Mr. Novak charge for cleansing rituals?”
“It depends. It could go as high as millions, but at the very least, it would cost 60 thousand.”
Wynter looked at Logan. “I’ll charge 60 thousand, then. 20 thousand
each.”
To these scions, 20 thousand was nothing but ten days of their allowance. Austin transferred the
money without much thought.
Logan wanted to cover Rupert’s share as well, but Wynter stopped him. “Inform the Baileys instead.
That way, they would know of you
374 Mane’s identity
and Austin’s generosity toward them.”
Surprised by Wynter’s thoughtfulness, Logan and Austin exchanged glances. They wondered if she
was truly just a medium as her capabilities seemed to extend far beyond that.
“By the way, I have a personal question.” Wynter was feeling anxious
since she couldn’t reach a certain someone.
She had already done her research and found out Vincent no longer
worked for the Yarwoods. However, she had no information on where
he went after leaving.
The fact that a Jenkins would willingly serve as an assistant
indicated that the family he was working for could only be within
Kingbourne’s influential circle.
“Which family in your circle has lost a child?” Wynter went straight to the point.
Austin responded quickly, “That would be the Quinnells. Everyone knows that. Right, Logan?”
Logan nodded. “That’s right. They also recently found her. It is said. she will make an appearance in a
few days.”
Austin added with a hint of melancholy, “I have no idea what to talk to her about. I pity her when I think
about it. Everyone loves Naomi, I’m sure she won’t be able to get used to it.”
Ronan coughed conspicuously, but the two scions didn’t take the hint.
Austin asked, “Why are you asking, Master?”
Wynter looked at him meaningfully. “It’s nothing. Is there any other

family that lost a child other than the Quinnells?”
“Nope.” Logan shook his head. “After what happened to the Quinnells,
we’ve all been cautious.”
Wynter raised an eyebrow. It was just too much of a coincidence.
She rephrased her question. “Is there a wealthy woman in your circle
who looks very young, has fair skin, long hair, and a medical history?”
“Mrs. Quinnell!” Ronan blurted out. “You’ve met Mrs. Quinnell?”
That couldn’t be. Fabian had made it clear that he would only
announce Sevie’s identity during her coming-of-age ceremony after all
the paperwork in the company was completed. He would have made
sure they avoided each other.
Wynter’s gaze fell. They were inscrutable. She understood what
Ronan meant.
There seemed to be a subtle pull in the depths of her consciousness. She naturally felt a closeness
and couldn’t help but worry about Marie. It was all because Marie was her biological mother.
Wynter played with her purple sugilite pendant, lost in thought. Sh didn’t understand why someone who
fought so hard to find their child would love a sponsee so much that they thought of adopting her.
Wynter was smart. Before she arrived in Kingborne, she had never thought of acknowledging her
family. However, after knowing the truth, she couldn’t help but suspect her mother didn’t have a say in
the adoption.
That was because she had lost part of her soul.
“Uncle Ronan, take me to her.”
