Chapter 287 Sabotage Elliot drew a deep breath as he lay in the intensive care unit of Havenlight Hospital.

It seemed as if he was the only person in the world who had yet to meet Wynter, his long-lost sister. Everyone else had already met her, as far as he knew.

He glanced at Ryan despondently. "Hey, Mr. Lloyd. Shouldn't Grandpa at least bring Wynter here to visit me?" "Mr. Quinnell did cby, but you were asleep," Ryan said as he peeled an apple for Elliot. "Alexis toldWynter's been taking care of Mr. Quinnell after his condition relapsed." Elliot had a deadpan look as his gaze flickered down to his bandaged shoulder. "I need someone to take care oftoo." "Mr. Elliot," Ryan chided quietly with a smile. "Your grandfather has finally reunited with Ms. Quinnell. I'm sure he'll remember you after a few days and cto visit you. Just be patient." Elliot chuckled. "I guess Grandpa hasn't changed at all." Ryan grinned and made no reply.

"Well, that's probably for the best," Elliot said with approval. "At least then everybody will know who's the real heiress of the Quinnell family.

Hearing this, Ryan handed Elliot the freshly peeled apple and explained, "The thing is, your father called Mr. Quinnell this morning Chap 287 Sabotage and suggested that the Quinnells hold a family meeting.

"He plans to formally adopt Ms. Naomi, and you can imagine how furious your grandfather is about that." Elliot frowned at this as emotions flickered in his eyes. "Why is Dad even considering adopting Naomi? Doesn't he know Wynter has been Ryan quickly motioned for Elliot to keep his voice down. "Mr. Quinnell didn't tell your father that Ms. Quinnell has been found." Most of the Quinnells were sharp and intuitive, not airheads. Elliot understood at once the implication behind Ryan's words.

"Is there something bothering Grandpa?" Elliot guessed.

Ryan did not hold back for once. "Everything went smoothly when we started tracking down Ms. Quinnell this time. But halfway through, we kept feeling as if someone was sabotaging us and always stayed one step ahead of us.

"We knew Granite Village was a treacherous place, and the strange topography of Havenlight County made looking for Ms. Quinnell even harder.

"Nevertheless, Mr. Quinnell and I knew there was another reason why our operations kept getting hindered - someone else was trying to stop us from bringing Ms. Quinnell home!” Elliot clenched his right fist when he heard this. A dangerous look flashed in his eyes as he bit out, "Who?" "We haven't found any potential leads, so we're only guessing at this point." Ryan glanced at Elliot. "There's a storm brewing in Kingbourne.

Chary+107 Sabotage Chif you can, Mr. Elliot." "I will," Elliot said, his gaze dark. "I can't believe someone would target Grandpa. What do they take the Quinnells for? Chopped liver?" Ryan laughed. "Naturally, Mr. Quinnell is tougher than he looks. His only concern is that Ms. Quinnell wouldn't get the support she needs if she comes hwith us to Kingbourne." Intelligent as he was, Elliot stared at Ryan and remarked, “You really care for Wynter, don't you, Mr. Lloyd?" Ryan blinked. "Oh, I... uh..." "Thank you, Mr. Lloyd." Elliot beamed. "It's no wonder Wynter likes you

so much. You've been a far better brother to her than any of her actual brothers have, myself included." Elliot could only hope that Wynter would continue meeting people who were as kind as Ryan down the road.

He was well aware of what she had gone through. Fanny and Dickson, the wretched couple from the mountains, were worse th devils.

Elliot and his brothers would have greatly failed Wynter if they couldn't promise her security and comfort after her return.

After a moment of thought, Elliot om clicked into a group text named The Bandits" on his phone.

A conversation was already well underway, and the person who was sending the most messages was none other than his younger brother, Tobias Quinnell.

Tobias' text read, "Hey, guys, don't ΟΙ just ignore me! Look at all the crap they're saying about me! Don't you feel sorry for me?"
