Chapter 313 Farewell


    Fiona had never seen Naomi so angry. When Naomi returned to the Quinnell vi that night, she flung


    her favorite vase of roses onto the


    floor and shattered it. Fiona wanted to stop her but held back out of


    fear.


    She wondered what had happened at the Quinnell residence to incur


    Naomi’s wrath. But who could she ask?


    Fiona also found it odd that Shane had not returned with Naomi even


    though he was the one who had brought her to the Quinnell residence


    to discuss her adoption with Fabian.


    Curiosity got the better of Fiona, and she took it upon herself to seek


    the answers to her questions.


    She had established awork of intelligence after serving in the Quinnell family for so long, and her


    sources included Shane’s drive


    who happened to be her cousin. She was the one who had gotten hin

    residence?”


    Her cousin spoke in hushed, secretive tones on the other line. “Fiona, I just dropped Mr. Quinnell off at


    the hotel. From what I heard during his phone call, his long-lost daughter has apparently been found.”


    “What?” Fiona shrieked in disbelief. She pressed a hand to her chest as she felt palpitations. “What do


    you mean she’s been found? That’s impossible!”

    “I’m serious, Fiona,” came her cousin’s nervous reply. “Mr. Quinnell


    Senior didn’t even tell Mr. Quinnell until thest minute. The long-lost


    Ms. Quinnell will being home in two days.


    “Promise me you’ll take this to the grave. And you didn’t hear about


    this from me. I’ll talk to you some other time, Fiona. You’d better


    make preparations.”


    Fiona knew what preparations her cousin was talking about. All these


    years, the Quinnell family had exhausted their resources and


    connections looking for their long-lost heiress.


    Now that she had been found, Naomi’s adoption would be an impossibility.


    Fiona had taken care of Naomi for years, and she was so happy to learn that Naomi was going to


    be an official member of the Quinnell family.


    There was no worse time for the long-lost heiress to be found tha


    now. The whole thing was too coincidental forfort.


    Fiona’s l*ps paled when she nced at Naomi’s tightly-shut bedroom


    door.


    Inside the bedroom, Naomi was sitting at her vanity and staring at herself in the mirror. There was a


    malicious gleam in her dark eyes.


    Right now, she looked nothing like the cool-headed and proper youngdy she had always portrayed


    herself as.


    She grabbed her l*pstick and began to scribble nonsense onto the mirror. The more she scribbled, the


    more menacing she looked. She couldn’t stand the idea of falling from her pedestal.


    Naomi could already imagine what the upper-crust society would say


    about her once word of this got out. She would be cast out


    immediately.


    She lowered her gaze, her resolve turning into molten steel. She wouldn’t sit by and do nothing, even if


    it meant resorting to cruelty.


    As she contemted her next steps, she threw her l*pstick into the bin and heard the thud that


    followed,


    The scribbling she had made on the mirror seemed to reflect her mored mind, but there was


    something inexplicably sinister about it.


    The next morning, Waterview Alley was lively as a crowd had gathered outside Margaret’s house.


    Firecrackers had been lit as the neighbors bade farewell to Margaret. Everyone hade to wish her


    well.


    They’d known her since she was young and sprightly, just as they had


    seen her at her most disgraced. They had seen how her son and daughter-inw were determined to


    bleed her dry.


    The neighbors had been furious with Ewan and Wanda, but eventually


    the despicable couple stoppeding altogether.


    Without ess to welfare funds, Margaret was forced to make ends meet by setting up a massage


    parlor


    She was kind and often scrimped to get by, but she never stooped so


    low as to take advantage of others. At some point along the way, she adopted Wynter and had her help


    as an apothecary-in-training.


    Now that things were finally looking up for Margaret, Wynter, and Wolf, the entire Waterview Alley


    couldn’t help but rejoice on their behalf. The loveable trio was going to set up shop in Kingbourne,


    which was an amazing feat in its own right.


    Susan and Ruth were reluctant to let Margaret go. They nked her and fussed over her.


    “Margaret, promise us you’lle back to visit us often. We can make raspberry tarts again once the


    fruit is in season.”


    “I will,” Margaret reassured as she patted both thedies’ hands.


    Wynter was surrounded by a crowd as well, including the leaders of Harmony Community.


    Among them, Zach was the most reluctant to let Wynter leave, but he knew it was in her best interests


    in the long run.


    “Traditional medicine has been a misunderstood field for a long time. Make sure you set the record


    straight and prove those conservative fools wrong when you get to Kingbourne.
