Chapter 324 Dead Fish


    The person who spoke was wearing a hood that obscured his profile. ”


    Yes, sir. The set-up was done ording to your orders. It’s so subtle


    that no one will likely notice anything is amiss.


    “Besides, Fabian is too full of himself to believe in fortune predictions


    that are based on object cements. The Quinnell family will be eliminated in two years, tops.”


    The old man in the armchair drawled, “I told you, our goal isn’t to


    eliminate the entire Quinnell family.” He rose to his feet. “The


    Quinnells are tenacious, so we’ll have to break them one by one.


    “Granted, those who are hardly ever home would be tough to deal


    with, but the entertainment industry is vicious. We can start by


    targeting the youngest son.”

    “You’re right, I forgot about the youngest son,” the person in the


    hooded shirt said, chuckling. “I suppose he makes for an easier target


    than his brothers.”


    The old man rubbed the beads of his bracelet. “Try to be subtle about


    1. Now go.”


    “Yes, sir.”


    It took more than a decade for them to slowly rearrange the set-up in the Quinnell residence. They


    weren’t worried that Fabian would grow suspicious and consult a fortune teller.


    After all, even the best fortune teller in this day and age wouldn’t be


    able to crack the problems thaty within the set-up, unless Atwate

    was still alive. If everything went as nned, the Quinnells would


    meet their downfall soon.


    But neither the old man nor hisckey had anticipated the Quinnells’ long-lost heiress, who had


    supposedly grown up in a vige, to be Atwater’s disciple. In fact, Wynter was probably the only person


    who knew this.


    That night, Wynter did not stay at the Quinnell residence. However, she had taken pictures of every


    corner of the house following her decision to go to Panzarath the next day.


    Meanwhile, the house with the courtyard had been cleaned out, but it stillcked the furnishings to


    make it a proper residence.


    As such, the Yarwoods arranged for Margaret and Wolf to stay in a hotel for the time being.


    Presently, Wolf was rolling from one end of therge bed to the othe when he suddenly nced up at


    the aquarium in the room. To his rm, half the fish inside the tank were dead.


    He frowned and quickly signed to Margaret to tell her he had nothing to do with the fish’s sudden death.


    Margaret was still going through her shopping list for tomorrow when her attention fell on the aquarium.


    She gasped. “Oh, what do we do? I don’t even know what kind of fish they were. How am I supposed


    to -rece them?”


    Wolf thought about it, but just as he was about to snap a picture of the aquarium to send to Wynter, a


    low chuckle came from across the


    room.

    “Madam Margaret, what are you trying to rece? I’ll get someone to help you with it.”


    It was Dalton. Dressed in a suit and looking as dapper as ever, he gave Margaret an apologetic look.


    “I’m sorry I couldn’t personally escort you and Wynter to Kingbourne. I was tied up with work thest


    two days.


    “I was thinking about having dinner with you, but it’s gettingte. How


    about we stroll around town tomorrow?”


    Margaret quickly grabbed his arm when she saw him and said, Ernest, what do we do about the fish?


    They must have died fromck of oxygen, the poor things. Could you talk to the hotel management for


    me and see if they’d let uspensate them?”


    “My family owns this hotel,” Dalton replied.


    ya


    He had no intention of keeping his identity a secret from Marg anymore. That said, he did find the fish’s


    death somewhat intrigu


    if not odd.


    “I must say, though, this breed of fish is known for being tough. I


    take a lot to kill them.”


    He walked up to the aquarium and tapped his knuckles against the ss tank, but half the koi fish


    inside had indeed died. Dalton raised


    a brow.


    Wolf happened to be standing next to him in his little pajamas, and Dalton saw Wolf gazing skyward


    with a guilty look on his face.


    Crouching down, Dalton cleared his throat and asked Wolf with a knowing smile, “I wonder if you gave


    the fish a fright before this, Wo


    Wolf was only a child, and his eyes couldn’t help but widen as he


    stared at Dalton warily.


    Dalton had only been guessing, but when he saw Wolf’s reaction, he couldn’t help but darken his gaze


    and clench his fists.


    Wynter returned to the hotel room at that moment and saw Dalton. and Wolf glowering at each other in


    a silent stand-off.
