Chapter 397

397 Wynter Takes Action
To understand the specific situation, she needed to go underground.
Because of the complex geographical location, it unexpectedly protected Marie.
This was the first time Wynter encountered such a situation. She didn’t take Marie away because she
sensed something amidst the chaotic air.
Although the hotel was dangerous, at least it could help preserve Marie’s sanity.
Wynter’s fingers tapped on the keyboard, calculating the path using instruments.
In the Five Elements, there was a technique called vital point strike.
The hotel itself wasn’t a problem, but some minor designs made the entire hotel’s energy appear
gloomy.
First, she needed to restore the disrupted aura, and then focus on the underground. There must be
something there that wasn’t easily detectable.
The Evercrest Gems‘ role was extraordinary in this.
After planning everything. Wynter waited for Ronan to bring the stone.
Of course, the most important thing was the candle jar. With it, they could retrieve Marie’s lost soul.
Although Marie didn’t know what Wynter was doing, she was very interested in the code Wynter was
typing. “Wynter, what are you doing?”
“Redesigning the hotel’s layout.” Wynter looked outside at the darkening sky, then shifted her gaze to
Marie. “Mom, I want to know when you first fell ill and where it happened.”
Marie thought for a moment. “After you were kidnapped, I was always looking for you. At that time, I
even fainted when I received news about you.”
“Received news about me?” Wynter’s eyes flickered. “What kind of news exactly?”
Marie nodded. “Yes. The other party said they saw you on a southbound train. After I received the call,
I wanted to find you. At that time, I was at home, and then I came here to the hotel.
“Shane was here at the time, and then we prepared some money together because they wanted cash.
After that, we called the police, but then the phone couldn’t get through anymore. It all happened here. I
remember…”
Marie’s eyes began to wander. “Back then, it was clear that you could be found.”
“I’m back now.” Wynter took Marie’s hand and placed it on her own face. “Look at me now. I’m fine.”
Marie looked at the fair face in front of her. “You’ve grown up in places where I can’t see.”
“I’ll let you see me from now on.” Wynter smiled gently. “Until you’re tired of seeing me.”
Marie chuckled, never feeling as happy as she did today.

Wynter observed Marie’s condition while also texting Abel.
“Find out who contacted my mother after I went missing.”
Abel, who hadn’t been summoned for a long time, suddenly became alert in the university dormitory.
“Boss, are you talking about Marie Whitman?”
Wynter replied with two words, “Who else?”
“It’s not easy to investigate the Quinnell family’s affairs. It will take time. You know your family is very
wealthy and has many hidden stories.”
Abel typed quickly.
“But don’t worry, Boss. With me here, there won’t be any accidents. My gossip network might be
lacking when it comes to serious matters, but when it comes to these hidden stories, I have the upper
hand!”
Wynter looked at him blowing his own trumpet and replied, “One week.”
Seeing that Wynter wasn’t joking, Abel immediately became serious. “I’ll start investigating now.”
Wynter didn’t look at her phone again.
Marie fell ill after receiving news of her.
At that time, Naomi hadn’t appeared yet. According to the information Wynter received, the Quinnell
family started supporting Naomi six months after Wynter was kidnapped.
In other words, someone had targeted the Quinnell family even earlier than that.
