Chapter 1144 Peace Has Returned
“I wouldn’t say we’re friends, more like acquaintances. During my time with the Yates
family, she tried to harm me on a few occasions,” Wynter remarked calmly.
Malik’s smile faltered instantly, along with the words he intended to speak
“Don’t be nervous. I’m just curious–how could someone with average medical skills be
hailed as a genius doctor?” Wynter flashed a meaningful smile.
Malik understood her implications, yet he couldn’t shake off his confusion. “Her skills are
unquestionable. She cured my wife.”
After a moment of pondering, Wynter decided to inquire further. According to Malik, Yvette was capable of performing acupuncture treatment. However, its effectiveness remained
debatable.
Alt
ah Wynter hadn’t returned to the mansion recently, she doubted Yvette had learned
nique from Margaret.
More importantly, Yvette had mentioned that both the Fenton and Winston families would
flourish in the near future.
Strangely enough, Yvette’s statement hinted at two things. It would’ve been expected if
she had only mentioned the Fentons, yet she included the Winstons as well.
Wynter had sensed an unusual presence around Yvette during their last encounter, and that
feeling had heightened since then. It seemed that she needed to make a trip to the
mansion before heading to Hawford.
“You mentioned that Yvette has headed to Hawford. Is that right, Mr. Malik?” Wynter questioned upon catching onto a detail.
“My father has been behaving weirdly lately. Out of concern, we attempted to request Dr. Yates… I mean, Ms. Yates, for treatment.
“However, she said she had a patient in Hawford and wouldn’t be back in Kingbourne any time soon,” Malik answered.
“That’s too much of a coincidence,” Wynter remarked with a frown. As she caressed her
purple sugilite, she attempted to piece all the information together.
While Wynter had a hunch, it was purely a wild guess–Yvette’s departure to Hawford might

be related to the Winstons. In that case, she needed to uncover why the Winstons held
Yvette in high regard.
Nonetheless, she had to make her way to Hawford as soon as possible.

Wynter rose to her feet and glanced at Malik. “Speaking of which, was Mr. Fenton Senior close to any mediums or fortune tellers?”
“Not that I’m aware of. We’re mostly acquainted with the mediums from Mt. Dragon,” Malik replied.
Wynter couldn’t help but frown at the familiar name. She quickly composed herself and stated, “Well, I’ll let you get on with your work, Mr. Malik.
“If Austin encounters any problems, feel free to give me a call. The air in the house has been rather gloomy lately. It might be good to let your boys out sometimes.”
Cooing that Wynter expressed genuine concern for his family, Malik felt touched by and
eful for her kind words.
Dalton and Wynter swiftly excused themselves and headed toward the door.
The ladies in the living room were surprised to see Wynter leaving and attempted to go
after her. After all, they still needed her guidance on the path to prosperity.
However, Malik stopped the ladies with the pretext of an important announcement. He told
the ladies about Alijah’s death and requested them to stay silent about the news.
The ladies fell silent upon hearing Malik’s revelation.
Truth be told, they had recognized Alijah’s odd behavior at home. However, they were too
afraid to tell anyone about it. Now that peace had returned to the house, the Fentons might finally find some relief.
After informing the ladies, Malik gave a call to the company. In truth, an overseas company had proposed a collaboration and willingly offered their assistance regarding tax affairs.
Despite his initial temptation, Malik came to realize the risks and errors after hearing Wynter’s advice. Perhaps, it was time they learned a thing or two from the Quinnells.
They shouldn’t be mere businessmen, but rather entrepreneurs who benefited the country and its people.
