Chapter 313 Farewell

Fiona had never seen Naomi so angry. When Naomi returned to the Quinnell villa 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 a network 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 the job in the first place.

Fiona demanded of him anxiously, “What happened at the main 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 the last minute. The long-lost Ms. Quinnell will be coming 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 become an impossibility.

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

Fiona's Ips paled when she glanced 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 young lady she had always portrayed herself as.

She grabbed her I*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 contemplated her next steps, she threw her I*pstick into the bin and heard the thud that followed,

The scribbling she had made on the mirror seemed to reflect her clamored 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 had come 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-in-law were determined to bleed her dry.

The neighbors had been furious with Ewan and Wanda, but eventually the despicable couple stopped coming altogether.

Without access 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 flanked her and fussed over her.

“Margaret, promise us you'll come 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 the ladies’ 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.
