Chapter 539 Divination


    Alexis stopped dead at that. “Ms. Sevie, are you suspecting Mr. Quinnell? Because that’s impossible!”


    Wynter nced at him.


    Alexis adjusted his sses. “Even though I’m on your side, from my understanding of your father, he


    would never harm Mr. Quinnell Senior no matter how much their views differ.


    “I’m not saying that Mr. Quinnell is a good person. He’s just a ratherplex character. He’s not the


    type to harm his own father.”


    Wynter believed Alexis.


    However, Shane was the only one with the chance to poison Fabian among the Quinnells. Moreover,


    the poison took effect at a crucial moment.


    Wynter had suspected Naomi at first. After all, she had made several attempts to bring soup to Fabian.


    Now that she had conducted a thorough investigation, Wynter arrived at a different conclusion.


    Naomi never seeded in delivering Fabian her soup. She would have known that if Fabian’s


    condition worsened after consuming her soup, she would be the prime suspect.


    Perhaps it was truly her way of disying her loyalty to solidify her standing within the family. While


    there might have been other factors at y, it was unlikely that she administered the poison.


    The only person who had direct contact with Fabian was Shane.


    Alexis wasn’t privy to her thoughts and continued, “As for the hotel’syout, dedicated staff oversee the


    work. I’m not familiar with the specifics, but in my personal opinion-”


    Alexis paused briefly.


    “Mr. Quinnell would have some knowledge to an extent. While I don’t know how much he knows, it is


    possible that he was the one who arranged it that way to bring in good energy.”


    Alexis smiled. “Since you asked, you must have done your research. Mr. Quininelll and Mr. Quinnell


    Senior are pr opposites. Mr. Quinnell believes in divination.”


    “You’re trying to say that someone is influencing him.” Wynter looked up, her tone calm.” For example,


    he was told specifically that thisyout brings good fortune.”


    Alexis put down his own cup of tea. “You’re a smart woman, Ms. Sevie. You guessed it right


    immediately.”

    “So, what if someone told him that he would have good fortune for the rest of his life if he adopted a


    daughter?” Wynter cut straight to the point.


    Alexis clearly never considered this possibility as his hands froze in mid–air. “Ms. Sevie, what do you


    need me to do?”


    Wynter could tell from Alexis‘-reaction that her hunch might be correct. This was exactly what Wynter


    was probing for.


    Divination could bring great fortune. It could also make people think shortcuts to fortune were possible.


    Some people get addicted to it, yet fail to realize that too much fortune could lead to their downfall.


    While taking a shortcut once might be eptable, not everyone is worthy of consistently relying on


    shortcuts. They needed to take into consideration their ability and character.


    Otherwise, once they harbored ill intentions, it would lead to consequences that defied human nature.


    Wynter had never understood why Shane was so insistent on adopting Naomi. After all, the paternity


    test had proved they were unrted, which confirmed she was not his illegitimate- daughter.


    Logically speaking, even if he had grown fond of her over the years, there was no need to adopt her,


    especially now that his biological daughter had returned.


    Shane had no reason to upset Fabian over someone whom he was not rted to by blood, either. It


    wouldn’t serve his interests in inheriting thepany.


    After all, several talented individuals were still loyal to Fabian among the Quinnell Group


    Shane wasn’t someone who would act purely out of sentiment. Just like Alexis mentioned, Shane was


    aplex character.


    So, what exactly was it that could lead him to risk offending Fabian?
