Chapter 510
510 Salvageable
Wynter hadn’t delved into Marie’s family background. But from Marie’s description, she was quite
certain her uncles were just as devoted as Tobias, making the Whitmans appear less dubious than the
Quinnell
family.
Her focus had been on investigating the Quinnell family, particularly concerning the Earthbound
Formation and Fabian’s death that she had foreseen.
She had identified several individuals of interest, notably her great uncle, Declan Quinnell. It was
rumored that Declan was affluent but idle, receiving only modest dividends annually.
Wynter had tasked people with investigating the matters she had dreamed of. Despite her dreams
portraying Declan in a positive light, she remained vigilant.
Rather than overt threats, she was more wary of those who seemed innocuous yet enigmatic.
The uneasy feeling of Shane being closer to Declan than his own father, Fabian, lingered in Wynter’s
mind.
According to Fabian, Shane was weak but had a penchant for showing off. Unable to endure Fabian’s
stern directives, Shane often sought solace in Declan’s gentle counsel, leading to a closer relationship
between them.
Wynter hadn’t delved too deeply into this matter. After all, she had encountered Shane herself and
thought he indeed matched the description: arrogant and self-centered, masking his selfishness with
displays of familial concern.
Shane did seem like someone who would vent his frustrations to someone else after being scolded.
But was he truly so simple-minded, only seeking solace from Declan?
Wynter recalled Shane’s words to Tobias in her dream. How foolish was Shane to align himself with an
outsider like Naomi to the extent of alienating his own son?
It would make sense if Naomi were his illegitimate daughter, but Fabian had investigated and confirmed
otherwise.
What was Shane’s motive, then? Even the most foolish person wouldn’t defend someone without any
tangible benefit, especially not a businessman like Shane.
Wynter vowed to unravel this peculiar phenomenon.
Having just experienced a nightmare, Wynter’s mind was consumed with dissecting its details, causing
her to forget to inquire about her uncles’ identities.
The recurrence of these realistic dreams couldn’t be a mere coincidence. Wynter couldn’t help but
wonder if she was reliving this life for the second time, as described in novels.
Regardless of whether these were just dreams or memories from a past life, Wynter was determined to
prevent those events from happening.
Returning to reality, Wynter’s gaze shifted back to Tobias, seated across the dining table with his head

bowed. His animated expression suggested he was engrossed in typing messages.
For the first time, Wynter felt grateful for her decision to return with Fabian.

Her earlier return, a month ahead of the timeline in her dream and with less attention drawn to it, meant
everything was salvageable. Therefore, Tobias hadn’t been confined to the children’s hospital during
filming.
In her dream, signs of decline had already begun to appear in the Quinnell family before her return. It
seemed as though an invisible hand was disrupting their peace, leveraging her presence.
Eager to uncover the culprit, Wynter left Noami untouched, using her as bait to lure the culprit.
However, the culprit remained patient, still concealed in the shadows.
It appeared that Wynter would have to take a more aggressive approach.
As Wynter pondered her next move, Tobias, unaware of her thoughts, was busy recounting everything
he had seen earlier in “The Bandits Save Grandpa’ group chat.
“That shameless Dalton! He even had the nerve to claim he’s introverted!” Tobias typed.
Yet, instead of responding to Tobias’ remark, the other brothers seemed more concerned about another
matter.
“It seems like Wynter is serious about Dalton.”
