Chapter 1135
1135 Wynter’s Admirers
The people saying these things were usually on Shane’s side. This time, they were truly afraid of Wynter.
Instead of a friendly visit, she might as well have told them all to behave.
Wynter’s show of strength as a warning worked. Everyone believed her visit was a warning for the various families to keep in line and to show that the Quinnell family was not to be trifled with anymore.
Wynter didn’t deny that this was partially true.
She was about to leave for Hawford, leaving Fabian in Kingbourne. She had to make sure those who wished ill on the Quinnell family understood her message.
If she didn’t make her point clear, she feared something might happen to Fabian once she left.
More importantly, she could subtly observe any anomalies within the families through this method.
In the car, Wynter mused, “I originally wanted to have a friendly chat with them.”
For this reason, after unearthing Gordon last time, she intentionally left two people behind to spread the word that she was skilled in geomancy. She wanted others to come to her willingly.
“That way, I could make some extra money on the side.”
Wynter played with her purple sugilite pendant. Resting her chin on her hand, she sighed. “That’s impossible now.”
“Then why didn’t you have a friendly chat with the other families just now?” Logan asked, puzzled.
Wynter raised an eyebrow. “Because I realized that I wasn’t entirely satisfied with them even as the first party. It’s better to follow the heavenly law.”
“Heavenly law…” Logan repeated, muttering to himself. “Is there really a heavenly law? If there is, why would I end up like this?”
Wynter looked at him. “Maybe you did something wrong in a past life. It could be karma.”
Logan fell silent, his mood visibly sinking.
“Or it could just be that the man up there is blind. You should know, he often is,” Wynter spoke casually,
even yawning.
Her face, especially when she wore a white shirt and a black choker, had an androgynous beauty that was both captivating and mischievous. She was beautiful but too unconventional.
Logan looked up. “You’re right, Wynter. He’s blind.”
Just then, a roll of thunder sounded.
Logan froze, his eyes widening. “What…”
“How petty.” Wynter clicked her tongue and leaned lazily against the seat. “He can’t even take a few

words. But Logan, you should stop. With your luck, you might really get struck by lightning.”
As they talked, Whitley tried to minimize his presence. When Wynter said the word “petty“, he found himself instinctively glancing toward Dalton.
Dalton, however, remained unfazed as he stared out the window . It was as if neither sunshine nor thunder could affect him. Yet, his deep eyes seemed to hold endless mysteries.
By the time they reached the Fenton residence, the rumors had spread, and the thunder had stopped.
When Austin saw Wynter, he leaped excitedly. “Wynter, over here! I’m right here!”
However, Wynter was greeting several of the Fenton family’s ladies, who wanted to show her around.
“Master, ignore that jumping monkey. We have more important matters. Look, did I buy the right aloe vera plant?”
“And me, Master. I followed your advice and sold those two pieces of jewelry to sponsor some underprivileged students. Now I feel much better.
“Is there anything else I should do for my health? Should I donate more money?”
A few days earlier, Wynter had been added to one of the Fenton family’s group chats. These ladies‘ questions were actually related to common medical knowledge.
