Chapter 294 A New Place for Troublemaking
Margaret had been wondering if she should move to Kingbourne with Wynter, but now, it seemed moving was inevitable.
She might not be able to help Wynter with much, but at least she could keep an eye on the latter.
Presently, Margaret and Fabian were getting along swimmingly.
They pored over photos of Wynter from when she was a child. “See her blank little face and her empty gaze? I was worried she was
falling behind on her studies, but she went ahead and became the top scorer of the district!”
Fabian’s eyes lit up. “Top scorer of the district?” He knew Wynter had taken after his intelligence and practicality. He wished he could say the same for Rowan and Tobias, who showed more interest in performing arts than academic excellence.
“That's right,” Margaret confirmed. She added guiltily, “At the end o the day, my family could have done better in raising Wynter. That insolent son of mine and his wife weren't exactly kind to her.”
Margaret went on to tell Fabian what Ewan and Wanda had put Wynter through.
Fabian was compassionate. “But none of those have anything to do with you. In any case, you raised Wynter on your own. That's why Wynter is so adamant about providing for you and taking care of you.” “Wynter tends to bottle up her feelings.” Margaret slid,a photo to Fabian as she said, “She’s stubborn, and she will always stand up for what is right regardless of the consequences.
“I know it's not my place to say this, but please come to her defense if she were to offend anybody in the Quinnell family.”
Fabian’s heart wrenched at Margaret's words. He knew her concerns were not unreasonable. It wasn't a secret that the Quinnells had sponsored Naomi and ended up pseudo-adopting her.
However, that decision was rearing its ugly head now that Fabian had to shield his biological granddaughter from any potential harm.
He gripped his cane tightly and said reassuringly, “Madam, I promise I will not allow anyone to pick on Wynter as long as I'm alive.
“She's the youngest. I'll let her do whatever she wants, and I won't have anyone reprimanding her for anything. That's the least we can do for her.”
Margaret understood what he meant. Her voice was hoarse as she said gratefully, “Well, I'm glad to hear that, Mr. Quinnell.”
The last thing Margaret wanted was for Wynter to suffer any more. hardship.
Fabian grinned. “You can call me Fabian from now on. Shall we proceed with more stories from Wynter's childhood?”
“Of course,” Margaret replied graciously. “Now, Wynter has always been friendly, and here at Waterview Alley..."
Just like that, the two of them spent the entire afternoon sharing stories over a pot of tea.
Ryan was more than happy to top up tea and biscuits for the elderly duo. As for the bodyguards who had come with Fabian, they were dragged to practice some punching moves with Wolf.
Wolf was displeased to find a small crowd in his courtyard at first, given that they were taking up his space for free. He resorted to glowering at the guests until Wynter whispered something in his ear that cheered him up.
He signed out the question, “We get to kick some ass in Kingbourne?” “Mind your language, Wolf. I said we were going to make money. there, not kick some ass,” Wynter corrected lazily. “Now, go and play. Remember, this is just training, so don't hurt anyone.”
Wolf's eyes glittered at this.
A while later, the bodyguards found themselves at Wolf's mercy, and they couldn't help getting upset. They wondered, “How can a child his age have such tremendous strength?”
Wolf was just getting warmed up when Dalton showed up at Waterview Alley with his entourage.
Pausing, Wolf looked up at Dalton sullenly, his hostility showing on his little face.
The bodyguards were incredulous and wondered if they had simply imagined Wolf's strong dislike for Dalton.
Dalton, on the other hand, met Wolf's gaze.
Wolf narrowed his eyes and snarled. He was about to lunge for Dalton when Dalton pulled out a bank card and tapped it against the
little boy's head. “Where is she?”
Chaoke.

Naturally, Wolf knew who Dalton was asking after. He grinned and took the bank card from Dalton, then pointed in the general direction of the farmer's market.
The bodyguards nearly gasped as they thought, “How could Dalton hand over a bank card to a child so easily?"
“Take me there,” Dalton said to Wolf. He stood tall and straight, looking elegant and chivalrous as he extended a hand toward Wolf. He was silently asking Wolf to hold his hand, but Wolf signed at him angrily after some thought, “That'll cost you extra!”
