Chapter 246 Cursed
“What a day,” Wynter sighed, pulling her gaze away. Standing in the doorway, she was effectively
blocking any chance of escape.
Her tone was casual as always. “Alright, let’s cut the act. Can someone please tell me where the key to
the cer is?”
Fanny was now barely clinging to life. Regret was evident in her eyes. Nathan scowled, muttering
curses at Wynter in their local dialect.
Although Wynter couldn’t understand him, she wasn’t st*pid. She forcefully pulled Nathan over. “You
should know.”
Gary went berserk. “You dare touch my grandpa! I’ll kill you!”
Wynter didn’t bother to pay him much attention. She was ready to fight off anyone who came her way.
“You even assault the elderly. You’re a despicable human being!” Gary gasped for air as he spoke.
Wynter’s voice remained calm as she said, “He’s not an elderly man. He’s an old scoundrel who’s
corrupt to the core. Just like your parents, they trafficked people while he bred dogs to attack people.
I’m just serving justice.”
Nathan’s face flushed with anger, hisnguage turning foul, “You little bi…”
Smack! Wynter pped him across the face and then lifted him with a smirk.
“You’ve got three seconds. Give me the key. Or else, when your grandson’s poison sets in the Quirks
family will be history.”
As soon as she spoke, Nathan’s expression changed drastically. In rural areas, the family legacy was
everything.
Prisci, also kneeling, cried out, “Just give it to her! Gary can’t afford any trouble!”
“You don’t understand, you old hag. The one locked in the cer can’t be released!”
Nathan was always a strategist. Now, he aimed to stall, hoping the vige would notice the unusual
urrences at the home.
Just look at how many times the officials had visited before. He had always managed to keep things
concealed.
If it weren’t for Wynter’s unexpected aggression today, he wouldn’t have exposed himself. After all, he
was a well–regarded Samaritan even in the county.
Wynter’s patience was wearing thin. “Three, two…”
Before Wynter could count to one, Gary suddenly hugged himself. He was shivering all over like he’d
caught a chill.
Nathan spoke in his rural ent. “The key’s in my coat pocket!” After saying that, he slumped,
defeated.
Having spilled all his secrets, Nathan wondered if it meant the Quirks were done for. He red with
cloudy eyes, still unwilling to ept defeat. He reached for his old fl*p phone and tried to call for help.

But Wynter promptly kicked it away, shattering the device. Hubert couldn’t help but think that the Quirks
were fools. If there were any signal in this ce, he would have called for help long ago.
Today was just cursed. Nothing seemed to be going right. He couldn’t even get up, and there was no
chance his aunt woulde to his rescue.
Wynter moved fast, taping everyone’s m*uths shut and locking the door with the key she held. She
threw a ck bag at Yarra and told her to wait there.
Out of the blue, a little girl holding a stuffed bunny dashed into the yard, asking Yarra, “Why are you
and the new girl outside? Where’s Grandpa and everyone else?”
The little girl tilted her head, squinting her eyes almost shut. “I know you’re trying to sneak out again.”
Yarra opened her m*uth to reply, but the little girl cut her off. With a sneer, the little girl looked at her.
“Give me a dor, and I won’t tell anyone.”
Yarra’s face turned pale. Pouting, the little girl added, “If you don’t give it to me, I’ll scream!
“Hey there, kiddo,” Wynter greeted with a friendly smile, waving her over. “I’ve got more than just
money for you. How about some candy?”
The little girl’s eyes lit up. “Gosh, city folks are so cool!”
She skipped over to Wynter. Wynter crouched down and ced the candy in her hand. The little girl
took the candy and popped it into her m*uth.
As she walked away, she thought to herself that she had to hurry back and tell her dad. This

city girl surely had more than just candy. Once Wynter stayed at Grandpa’s house, everything she had
would be hers..
