Chapter 312 Family Feud
It was nighttime, and Fabian was happily making yet more online. purchases. With Wynter’s arrival fast
approaching, he wanted to wee her with festivity, and that included redecorating her old
bedroom.
The old man was beaming over his shopping conquests when Shane showed up. He used to be furious
with Shane and his ipetence,
but now, he simply let thetter ramble on.
Fabian sat there and listened to Shane talk until the cows came home.
When Shane had nothing more to say, Fabian tightened his grip on his cane and looked up at his son
before saying, “I won’t agree to this.”
Shane’s brows furrowed. “I don’t understand why you won’t ept
Naomi as a part of our family!”
Naomi, who was standing next to Shane, interjected calmly, “Dad, please, no fighting with Grandpa.
The matter of my adoption isn’t a important as Grandpa’s health. Let’s talk things out slowly, all right?
Talking things out was thest thing Shane wanted. He had to
suppress his rage as he demanded, “Give me a reason why you won’t agree to the adoption, Dad.”
Fabian asked curtly, “Have all these years made you forget that you still have a daughter out there
somewhere, Shane?”
Naomi faltered at this. She had never seen Fabian so distant and
grave before. In the past, a fight would have already broken out between him and Shane. But now, the
old man looked like he had

While Naomi pondered Fabian’s strange demeanor, Shane inhaled sharply and countered, “Dad, no
one was more heartbroken than Marie and I when we lost our little princess. But there’s no point in
grieving like this any longer.
“The upstairs nursery has looked the same since we lost her. We have to move on.” Tears pricked his
eyes as he said this.
Fabian kept his cool gaze on Shane and spat, “We will move on after we find our little princess, dead or
alive. In case you’re wondering, she’s healthy and thriving, and certainly no longer lost as you im.
She’s more brilliant than anyone I’ve ever met!”
Hearing this, Shane gaped at Fabian in disbelief. “Dad, are you saying
that… our little princess is…”
“Found,” Fabian finished Shane’s sentence for him, his gaze darkening. “And she’ll be returning soon.
Adopting someone els this juncture seems rather inappropriate, don’t you think?”
Shane paled, and so did Naomi. She couldn’t believe what Fabian jus said. If the Quinnells’ long-lost
daughter had been found, then what would be of Naomi? Naomi felt her legs go weak at the
thought.
“You found our little princess?” Shane stepped forward as if to confront his father. “When? Why didn’t
you tell me sooner?”
“I’m telling you now, aren’t I?” Fabian drawled. He no longer felt any rage toward Shane, only
disappointment. He said a little too calmly,” Go and get ready to bring her home.
Shane couldn’t wrap his head around this unexpected development.

She’s been found. She’s actually been found, and she’ll being home.”
Slowly, delight gleamed in his eyes as he asked Fabian earnestly,” Dad, do you have a picture of her?
Who does she take after, me or Marie?”
The question and the excitement in Shane’s tone appeased Fabian, who answered impatiently, “I don’t
have a picture of her. Just wait until shees home and you can see for yourself.”
Shane looked like he was raring to go. “Where is she now? I’ll go and pick her up!”
“She’s on her way back to Kingbourne.” Fabian kept his answer vague.
Meanwhile, Naomi was silent as she bit her l*p. Her lowered gaze filled with anger and spite.
She didn’t understand why Fabian decided to spring such news o them instead of informing them in
advance. It was as if he had nev considered Naomi’s feelings.
But Shane was oblivious to Naomi’s resentment. He was basking in
joy as the news of his little princess’ return sank in.
Naomi, on the other hand, began to fret over her position in the
Quinnell family. Now that the long-lost heiress had been found, what
would they do with an outsider like Naomi?
