512 The Most Unreasonable One in the Family
Sebastian suddenly remarked, “You know, Wynter doesn’t have to worry about us. Apart from Albert,
nobody in this group really cares about Dad.”
CEO Albert: “Sebastian, he’s still our father after all. Until we have solid evidence, we shouldn’t jump to
conclusions. And if Mom finds out we’re suspicious of Dad, she’ll be upset, too.”
Sebastian took off his glasses, a glint of malice in his eyes. “If Dad really did something to hurt Mom
and Wynter for his own benefit, then he doesn’t deserve to be called our father.”
CEO Albert: “Wynter didn’t explicitly state that.”
Sebastian didn’t hold back. “But if she did, then we need to take action. It’s no wonder she hasn’t
reached
out to us brothers after being back for so long.
“We always talk about protecting Wynter, but have we really done that? That’s likely what Grandpa was
worried about, which is why he didn’t disclose everything to us that day.
“Dad insisted on bringing Naomi into our home as a sponsee, almost as if trying to replace Wynter. If I
were Wynter, I wouldn’t rely on these useless brothers either, especially knowing that Mom might have
suffered because of Dad.”
CEO Albert: “Sebastian Quinnell!”
Sebastian put his glasses back on and added, “Relax, Albert. I suspect Dad’s been pretty preoccupied
lately, so he might not even be aware of Mom’s recovery. Right, Tobias?”
Tobias wasn’t certain, as Wynter hadn’t mentioned anything about it, seemingly disregarding their
father
altogether.
Noticing Tobias’ silence, Sebastian reminded him, “You can always ask Wynter about it.
you
know?”
Tobias gritted his teeth and typed back, “Wynter didn’t bring it up out of respect for our dignity. Why
should I confront her directly and embarrass myself?
If Wynter refuses to accept Dad as her father, so be it. I’ll still be her brother, regardless.”
Tobias felt a sense of relief after expressing his thoughts to his brothers.
Sebastian smiled. “Then relay my message to Wynter: I’ve been at odds with Dad since birth, and as
an attorney, I’m skilled in handling divorce cases. If Mom makes up her mind, she can always divorce
Dad and keep her children.”
Elliot, who had just joined the group chat, chimed in, “Just arrived at the suburbs. Divorce isn’t a bad
idea. Albert, what do you think?”
Albert remained silent, wondering if his younger brothers were venting their dissatisfaction with Shane
behind his back.
He decided to give his brothers a heads up, “Dad did approach me recently to discuss Wynter.”

Sebastian retorted mercilessly. “He tattled to you? When will this old man learn to grow up?”
Albert rubbed his brows and responded, “Sebastian, do you think Dad hasn’t given any thought to
this?”
After a brief pause, Sebastian replied bluntly. “That’s the problem. He overthinks things. Sometimes, I
can’t help but wonder if he’s biologically related to Grandpa.
Albert thought that if Shane weren’t related by blood to the Quinnells, that would make Sebastian
Fabian’s
illegitimate grandson, too.
Albert sighed deeply. “You guys are being too hard on Dad. One of us has to keep him in check,
especially considering how strong Mom and Dad’s relationship is,
Tobias finally grasped Albert’s intention. “Are you concerned that Mor may not take it well if she finds
out what Dad has done, Albert?”
Albert responded, “Exactly. If Dad really has something to do with Mom’s illness, it could be
traumatizing
for her.
“When Grandpa mentioned what happened at the hotel, I also sensed something was off. We Quinnells
are a clever lot, so how could Dad be so foolish?”
Sebastian tapped on his desk and then replied, “He’s not a fool. He simply didn’t anticipate Kaspar
Stavious to show up there.”
CEO Albert. “Even if another fortune teller besides Kaspar went to the hotel that day, Dad could have
easily regained control as long as he could prove that Wynter was incapable of managing the hotel.”
Sebastian’s gaze grew chilly. “So, why did Dad come to see you?”
CEO Albert: “He wants us to convince Wynter to be reasonable, as he hasn’t given up on adopting
Noami. Elliot retorted with a message, “Says the most unreasonable one in the whole family.”
