Chapter 311 Shane and Marie Return to Kingbourne "Have things gotten so bad that my daughter has to extend an olive branch?" The person who spoke from the doorway was Shane. He was dressed in an impeccable suit, and behind him was a team of doctors and secretaries, all of whom were lugging their bags. They must have gotten off a flight not too long ago.

Naomi grinned and exclaimed in delight, “Dad, you're home! Where's Mom?" "You know your mom doesn't cope well with long flights. She's too tired to make the trip back to the manor, and she can only fall asleep when she's in a hotel," Shane explained.

He set his bag down on the couch. "Is your grandfather giving you a hard time?" "No," Naomi lied, shaking her head.

Fiona couldn't stand the sight of Naomi looking so dejected. "Mr. Quinnell, you won't believe how unreasonable Alexis was! Ms. Naomi worked hard to make a healing tonic for Mr. Quinnell Senior, but Alexis refused to let her into the house and said her tonic was 'risky"!" Naomi feigned alarm. "Aunt Fiona!" Fiona grumbled, "Ms. Naomi, I have to say something or you'll just bottle up your feelings like you always do, and I won't stand for it." Shane was equally surprised that Fabian would go to such lengths- Chapter 311 Shane and Manu Return to Kingbourne 2 including having Alexis keep an eye out on Naomi-just to defend a doctor.

"Ms. Young, I'm sure Alexis has his reasons for stopping Naomi from giving the tonic to my father," Shane pointed out, glancing at Fiona. But there are better ways for you to stand up for Naomi than to throw a fit like this." Naomi gave Fiona's hand an appreciative squeeze. Fiona quickly said, "Oh, there I go, running my m*uth again. I'll bring you stea, Mr. Quinnell." Shane fixed his gaze on Naomi and asked, "Is that what you think as well, Naomi? Did you feel that Alexis was giving you a hard time?" "No," she answered seriously. "I'm sure Alexis only has Grandpa's best interests in mind, especially since Grandpa's health is so delicate. But the family doctor did tellthat Grandpa needed plenty of nourishment." Sighing, Shane said ruefully, "Your grandfather is a proud and stubborn man. That being said, you won't have to prepare tonics or medicinal food for him after this. We have a private chef for a reason." "Okay." Naomi clenched her fists tighter at his words, her manicured nails digging into her palms.

Shane did not notice this and continued with a smile, "We brought our trip forward this tso we could officially adopt you on the night of your birthday banquet." "Really?" Naomi's eyes lit up with childlike excitement. "But will Grandpa agree to it?" Chap 311 Shane and Mare Return to Kingbourne 3/4 Shane glanced at his watch. "I'll go talk to him. You can cwith me, but you must be on your best behavior. I'm sure he'll soften up after you apologize to him." "Okay!" Naomi said sweetly.

Alexis wasn't expecting Naomi to turn up at the Quinnell residence. again, and this twith Shane, who had apparently returned from abroad.

Shane flashed Alexis a charming smile. "My father should still be awake. He usually plays chess at this hour." Alexis didn't reveal that Fabian was actually watching Wynter's old livestreams. He simply returned Shane's smile as he quipped, "You know him well, Mr. Quinnell." "I ought to go inside and see how he's doing.” Shane raised a brow, hoping Alexis would get the message.

Alexis stepped aside and replied matter-of-factly, "This is your family home, Mr. Quinnell. You can cand go as you like."

He had made his stance on Naomi clear with this simple statement. The only reason why he had stopped her from entering the house earlier was because he did not think of her as a member of the Quinnell family.

The implication behind his words made Naomi bristle. She shot Alexis a dark look.

However, Alexis didn't so much as glance at her. He figured he had every right to snap back at her after he had been threatened with a demotion.

Chapter 311 Shane and Manu Return to Kingbourne Shane, who understood what Alexis was implying, was also perturbed. "Alexis, you might want to watch your words from now on. Naomi will be an official member of our family soon."

"Of course," Alexis conceded with a pleasant smile. "I'll make sure to give Ms. respect she deserves Naomi the respect if she ever becomes a member of the Quinnell family."

Shane narrowed his eyes at the secretary, but chose not to entertain any of his smide remarks. He had to pick his battles, and right now, it was to convince Fabian to agree to Naomi's legal adoption.
