Chapter 968 Wynter The Nemesis of Small–minded People
The noise that came from the back garden sounded like someone had been smashing something. From how loud the noise was, it was obvious that the person causing the chaos was furious.
Wynter stopped eating her noodles. She knew that she had to react appropriately given the current circumstances. ‘Great uncle, what’s happening in the back garden?”
Declan glanced at Liam who was beside him. Liam immediately responded, “Nothing serious. The maids are undergoing some training due to their poor performance.”
“Did someone steal something?” Wynter continued naturally.
Liam said while nodding, “Yes! That’s right, Ms. Quinnell. Your guess is accurate!”
“Then they need to be punished properly.” Wynter placed her fork down and wiped her mouth with a napkin. “Our family had a similar issue with Ms. Young. I wouldn’t have been abducted if it weren’t for her. “Great uncle, you can’t be soft–hearted when dealing with disobedient maids. No matter how large the Quinnell family is, our fortune will be depleted if they collude with outsiders and steal from us.
“Some people are ingrates by nature. They won’t feel grateful even if you give them food and shelter. Instead, they repay you by biting the hand that feeds them.” Wynter fixed her gaze on Declan as she said that.
Wynter knew Declan was currently displeased even when his expression remained unchanged. Making him upset was precisely her intention.
Liam felt a flicker of anger that he couldn’t express given the current circumstances. “Ms. Quinnell, your words are-”
Wynter interrupted him, “Oh, I was just speaking from experience. Mr. Miller and great uncle, both of you must have heard about Naomi Quinnell.
“She constantly made things difficult for me and always aimed to replace me even when she was just a sponsee of my family.”
“Great uncle,” Wynter continued with her head held high and a serious expression, ‘don’t you think it’s shameless for her to behave like this when she eats and drinks at the Quinnells‘ expense?” This was akin to forcing Declan to admit his own shamelessness.
Declan’s hand tightened slightly under his sleeve as he forced a smile to avoid showing any unusual reaction, “Indeed.” He had to suppress a surge of frustration as he uttered the word.
Declan’s current priority was to leave and handle the situation in the back garden. He knew exactly what the noise was. Tyler Shaw must have returned.
Declan had to go over to the back garden first to prevent Wynter from overhearing any important information. Therefore, he had to swallow his pride and frustration for now.
“Wynter, you’re right. Some people should be dealt with swiftly if they aren’t useful. You should continue

eating. I will go check on things.” Declan walked towards the back garden leisurely right after saying that.
Liam bowed respectfully as Declan cast a meaningful glance at him before leaving.
Liam wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed. He believed he could manage these two youngsters who came from the countryside.
Liam believed Wynter was far from formidable based on his own judgment of her emotional intelligence
and intellect.
Liam was sure that it was the lack of personal contact that had led to people mistakenly believing that she was impressive. After all, they had only encountered her at the family reunion banquet.
Seeing her current demeanor, it was clear that everything had been orchestrated by Mr. Quinnell Senior. “Ms. Quinnell,” Liam couldn’t help but speak up for Declan as he poured her some tea, “you shouldn’t have. said that just now.”

raised an eyebrow. “Do you think that Naomi was right, Mr. Miller? Does Great Uncle think so too? But that household staff of hers was an accomplice to human traffickers.”
Liam realized that the conversation was heading in a dangerous direction. It would have implied that Declan played a role in Wynter’s abduction if he were to agree.
“Ms. Quinnell, that’s not what I meant,” Liam quickly set down the teapot and spoke earnestly. “Many people don’t know about this, but Mr. Quinnell was actually adopted by the Quinnells. Your words just now might have felt like a veiled accusation.”
