He wantsto learn the manners of socialites because of that." Wynter tilted back slightly. "He doesn't dare to show it to outsiders, but I know he looks down on me. He would always argue withand won't even letmake friends." Even Liam was bewildered after hearing Wynter's words. However, Declan laughed indulgently.
"You have the temper of a child. How could your grandpa look down on you? Enough of this. Get prepared to go home. It's late, and your grandpa will worry." With that, he raised his hands. “Letcall your grandpa first to inform him that you're with me. Otherwise, he might worry and call the police. It's late, and he might think that you've gotten kidnapped again." It was a test. Declan obviously didn't believe Wynter and needed to confirm her lies in another way.
Wynter would lie without careful consideration. She wouldn't have just given Albert one instruction when she called him. Wynter knew she would meet Declan from the moment the spy's car entered the main road leading up the hill.

That was when Declan realized that not all of the members of the Quinnells were mature. They could be valuable assets for him with proper guidance. After all, Shane had been a good pawn for so many years.
However, Declan needed a new pawn now that Shane had becuseless. He knew that risks were involved in trying to use Wynter as a new pawn as he knew very little about her. Even so, Declan decided to approach and assess her slowly.
Declan hung up the phone and acted like a benevolent elder. "It's fine not to go back now. Both you your grandpa need to calm down. We can discuss this tomorrow. and
"Liam, get the staff in the kitchen to prepare snoodles." He therm turned to Wynter I'm assuming from your grandpa's words that you haven't eaten."
