NovelEnglishChapter 310 Despicable Duo Lucas finally understood why Wynter had won over the hearts of those in Harmony Community.
She was young and insightful, not to mention driven and cool-headed. He looked forward to hearing about her legendary feats in Kingbourne.
However, sthings prevented them from getting a clear picture, and it would take tto uncover them all.
Meanwhile, over at the Quinnells' residence in Kingbourne, Naomi once again found herself barred from entering the house.

The doctors watchedmake it, and they would have stoppedif they thought it would be bad for Grandpa." "I'm sorry, Ms. Naomi," Alexis said indifferently. "But Mr. Quinnell Senior's condition is unpredictable and can quickly go from good to bad. We have been advised by the specialist to monitor his diet closely and do away with any risky tonics." Naomi tightened her grip on the thermos flask. Tears welled up in her eyes as she objected, “Alexis, listen to yourself! What do you even mean by 'risky tonics"?" "There, there, Ms. Naomi," Fiona comforted soothingly.
She glared at Alexis and added angrily, “What does a secretary know about tonics anyway? I see no reason why Mr. Quinnell Senior's granddaughter has to be subject to such scrutiny when she's delivering food to him! "Ms. Naomi scalded herself while preparing that tonic, and you're just going to let her efforts go to waste?" Naomi chewed on her I*p, looking wounded.
Fiona bristled and snapped at Alexis, "I've been working for the Quinnells for 20 years, and never have I heard anything so ridiculous! Move!" However, Alexis did not budge from the door.
Grimacing, Fiona threatened, "Do you want Mr. Quinnell to hear of this and demote you when he gets back?" "I'm Mr. Quinnell Senior's personal secretary, so my position is not under Mr. Quinnell's purview," Alexis answered pleasantly with a smile as he adjusted his glasses.
The more unfazed he was, the angrier Fiona got. If Naomi wasn't allowed entry into the house, it would mean the Quinnells didn't recognize her as one of their own. In other words, Fabian's refusal to see her was a form of humiliation.
Unable to comprehend the old man's thoughts, Fiona grabbed Naomi by the elbow and attempted to storm past Alexis.
However, Naomi still had her wits about her. She knew that if she were to barge into the house, she had as good as acknowledged that the Quinnells wanted nothing to do with her.
If she simply turned around and walked away without causing a scene, then she could at least play this off as a failed visit on account of Fabian's poor health.
As such, she bit her I*p and clutched Fiona's hand, saying, "Aunt Fiona, we should leave. Grandpa must be worn out. We can cback another day." "Another day? Ms. Naomi, you didn't travel all this way to-" Fiona protested Naomi cut her off brusquely, "Aunt Fiona, we're leaving now!" Fiona saw the vicious gleam in Naomi's eyes and shuddered. She quickly escorted Naomi off the front doorstep. She glowered at Alexis before leaving.
"You can be sure that I'll call Mr. Quinnell and tell him about this!" "Be my guest," Alexis drawled sarcastically.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe was starting to understand why Wynter couldn't stand Fiona and Naomi. They were the reason why Wynter had a bad impression of the Quinnells. They were rude and high-handed despite their positions in the household.
Alexis only prayed that Wynter would cto Kingbourne sooner Even a true heiress such as herself did not treat him condescendingly. This only made Naomi appear more crass by comparison. She was merely the Quinnells' charity case. But she behaved as if she were the master of the household. No one with any amount of self-respect could tolerate her.
Alexis might only have been a secretary, but that didn't mean Naomi could talk down to him.
It was nightfall when Naomi and Fiona returned to the manor.
gbout Naomi asked Fiona worriedly, "Something's off about Grandpa. Do you think he's trying to dissuade my E parents from legally adopting me?"
"There's nothing to worry about, Ms. Naomi. Your parents adore you, and Mr. Quinnell Senior, ior has certainlym never given you a hard tat home. I bet that wench from the village is just playing games!" Fiona seethed, the hatred she had for Wynter shining in her eyes.
Naomi's gaze darkened at this. "She's definitely a problem that we need to get rid of need to talk to Grandpa before things get worse between us." She had only just said this when she heard laughter coming from outside the door.
