Chapter 1032 Ominous


    It wasn’t only Shane who wanted to ask. The others had the same question, too.


    Den couldn’t possibly have let someone into the backyard, so he cast a nce in Liam’s direction.


    Liam immediately responded, “It’s just a crow. Someone has already gone to scare it


    away.”


    “A crow?” Albert, quick–witted, chuckled. “I’ve never seen a crow. Where is it?”


    Jolene, having just finished her makeup, descended from upstairs. “That crow has been on the tree sincest night. Didn’t you see, Albert?”


    For today’s asion, she specially wore a sky–blue designer dress.


    It had caused her financial strain, and the essories on her wrist were bought with


    a loan. But Jolene believed that after today, she would finally enter fully into the Quinnell family and be a socialite in Kingbourne.


    Albert bringing her here surely meant he was prepared to sever ties with Fabian.


    She had waited for this day for many years.


    When she was young and naive, Fabian gave her some benefits to send her abroad.


    Back then, she should have, like now, found ways to stay in the Quinnell family.


    But fortunately, Albert hadn’t forgotten her. No matter how formidable Fabian was in


    the business world, he still lost to her, someone he had once looked down upon.


    So, some sacrifices were necessary.


    Smiling, Jolene walked over to Albert.


    She had been in the bedroom getting ready, focused on making a grand entrance, so


    she was unaware of what was happening downstairs.


    That included the “discord” between Albert and Fabian.


    Seeing Jolene, Shane felt even more irritated. Was this gold digger blind? Couldn’t


    she see what was happening?

    Liam wanted to warn her, but Jolene was too eager to highlight herself.


    Before anyone else could speak, she added, “Mr. Quinnell Senior, I didn’t know you were here. Don’t me Albert. It’s my fault for not letting him go.”


    With a determined expression, Jolene reached out her hand to grasp Albert’s.


    With so many people around, even if she was being affectionate with Albert in front of Fabian, there was nothing Fabian could do about it.


    And after this incident, everyone would know she was Albert’s woman.


    Jolene wanted to stir up conflict between Fabian and Albert, as she had done before. After all, even Wynter wasn’t taking Fabian’s side anymore. That stubborn old man would surely be angered.


    Jolene smiled, but before her handnded on Albert’s, Albert took a step back and


    looked at her coldly.


    Jolene stiffened, feeling somewhat incredulous. What was happening here?


    “Albert?” Jolene attempted to approach gently. “Did Mr. Fabian say something to


    make you misunderstand me?”


    Albert’s eyes instantly turned cold. “What do you think my grandpa would say?”All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “That I took his money. But I’ve already returned the funds from my studies to him,”


    Jolene exined with a pale face.


    Her exnation sounded like the first love in novels who left with money but


    returned.


    Wynter wasn’t interested in this type of drama. She wasn’t in a hurry to deal with


    Jolene’s affairs. The backyard was her priority.


    “Ms. Horton, you mentioned a crow was cawing in the middle of the night?” Wynter


    redirected the conversation.


    Jolene didn’t want to escte the situation further. “Yes, and it’s been cawing


    continuously.”


    She might not intend anything, but the listeners might interpret differently, especially
