Chapter 321 Wynter's Many Talents
Wynter sauntered up to the lily pond. As she surveyed the mini landscape, the greenery, and the water feature meticulously arranged to complement the waterfall, she asked, “Grandpa, who designed this? Fabian thought she found the set-up appealing. Beaming, he said, " Your brother, Albert, had a foreign designer work on this. If you like it,
I could have Albert make introductions.”
“All right.” A smile curled on Wynter’s I*ps. “I'm just looking at the elements here and how they've been set up around the waterfall, such as these evergreen turquoise pebbles. They're meant to bring good luck, no?"
Fabian lit up. “You know this too, Wynter?"
“I read about it once,” she said with a small laugh. “As beautiful as
this set-up is, I don't think the aesthetics work in the aggregate. For one, turquoise and water don't get along.
“The turquoise is water-absorbent, and over time, the stones will get darker. You certainly wouldn't want such vessels of good fortune to
be ruined.”
She pointed at the skylight in the corner. “Also, there's too much. sunlight coming through. That'll damage the turquoise over time, so it's best if you move the stones around.”
Fabian stiffened. When he glanced at Wynter, his expression was one of speculation. Smart as he was, he had dismissed the butler and the I_ Chappé: 321 Wynters Many Talents
rest of the household staff. Alexis was the only one in his and Wynter's company.
Once the living room had quieted down, Fabian asked, “Wynter, I need you to be honest with me. Do you have much knowledge about gemstones and the such?”
“Yes,” Wynter admitted. “A fortune teller taught me these concepts, including how gemstones could affect the energy of the household. If the turquoise stones are for good luck, then damaging them could do more harm than good.”
As she said this, she pointed at the eastern part of the house.” Perhaps you could think of moving the turquoise stones there and
leaving some other more durable stones in this pond.
“The Quinnells could prosper enough even without the turquoise stones, but that's because the family business is thriving. If you believe in harnessing the power of gemstones, then rearranging this
set-up might be a safer option.”
Fabian did not doubt Wynter. If it were anyone else who told him such things, he would've dismissed it as superstition.
However, his skepticism was nowhere to be found as he considered Wynter's advice solemnly. “Moving the stones will be better for our family’s fortune then?”
“Of course.” Wynter helped ease him onto his seat. “But don’t worry about it. A quick fix is all you need. If you're worried about the pond. losing its luster due to the lack of turquoise, we can have Alexis add a few fish into the water.
“I'll bring amethyst or quartz to replace the turquoise. That way, you Chapter 321 Wynters Many Talents
won't have to compromise on good fortune or aesthetics.”
Fabian was shocked. “That's it? I don’t have to hire someone for this kind of work?"
Wynter laughed. “Who would you hire, Grandpa ? I didn’t think you'd take decorating a water feature so seriously.”
“Oh, a few business acquaintances of mine are quite into these sorts of things,” he groused, pinching the bridge of his nose. “I'd never hear the end of it if they knew I was just as invested as them.”
Pouring him some tea, Wynter pointed out, “You could downplay it, and say it's just a matter of science.
“How is this a matter of science?” Alexis couldn't help asking. “Anything can be explained through science. Turquoise is made up of copper, which turns the water toxic after being submerged for a long time” Wynter explained.
Alexis understood this immediately. “That makes sense!”
“You could always use scientific logic to argue your way through most things. If there are too many plants in an enclosed room, ther oxygen toxicity could happen on account of dangerous levels of oxygen.” Wynter suddenly met Alexis’ gaze. “Alexis, I'd like to see Grandpa's room if that's all right?”
Fabian rose to his feet and clutched his cane. “You don't have to ask Alexis for permission! Come with me.”
