Chapter 379 A Slap to the Face
Wynter stood under the light, her lazy expression revealing neither joy
nor anger. Instead, the slight curl of her l*ps hinted at a trace of
mischief.
For some reason, Shane felt that her face was oddly familiar.
Especially those clear black eyes. When they looked at him, it seemed as if they could see through one’s heart, making him feel somewhat
uneasy.
Did Wynter know him?
“You…” Shane had originally intended to handle the situation slowly,
and his attitude softened.
Upon seeing this, Fiona immediately shouted, “Mr. Quinnell, you have to stand up for Ms. Quinnell! This lady is the doctor from Southdale!
She has been slandering Ms. Quinnel’s reputation!”
Shane’s steps halted abruptly.
Naomi’s eyes were filled with tears while she exuded a gentle and fragile air. “Fiona, please stop. I’m fine.”
“Ms. Quinnell, I have to say it! I watched you grow up. Others may not
care about you, but I do.”
Fiona continued while pounding her chest, “It’s all because of my
humble status. I can’t support you like Mr. Logan and the others.
“You suffered when you were young. When you first came to the

Quinnell family, you were afraid to do anything.
“Over the years, you’ve been so grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Quinnell. I’ve seen it all. But others still degrade you with your status as a sponsee.”
Fiona looked at Shane earnestly. “Mr. Quinnell, you can’t let others bully Ms. Quinnell just because she’s sensible and kind-hearted.
“Sometimes, she doesn’t tell you everything because she’s afraid of having conflicts with others, but you’ve also heard what they said. today. Those who follow Wynter are mocking Ms. Quinnell behind her
back!”
Fiona continued, squinting, “Who knows what slanderous words she
has said about Ms. Quinnell?”
Upon hearing this, Shane was completely infuriated.
He stared at Wynter, and his voice was displeased. “Where is the duty
manager?”
At this moment, Benson stepped forward respectfully and
ingratiatingly. “Mr. Quinnell, I’m here. Mr. Logan brought this lady
here, and we couldn’t do anything about it.”
Didn’t she just call him out earlier? Now, it seemed she was in
trouble. What a turn of events!
Benson looked at Wynter, and the smug expression on his face was
unhidden.
Wynter couldn’t be bothered with these people’s theatrics anymore. She freed Wolf and told him to find someone, then locked eyes with
Shane.
Her voice was as indifferent as ever. “It seems you want to deal with
me, Mr. Quinnell?”
Shane felt that Wynter was fine when she didn’t speak, but as soon as she did, there was no trace of a lady’s grace.
“You hurt my daughter. Young lady, I won’t use extreme measures against you. Just apologize to my daughter, and today’s matter will
be over.”
Even Ronan found this amusing. He sneered and said, “Mr. Quinnell, do you know-”
“Sir Rathbone, don’t try to pressure me in my father’s name.” Shane interrupted him coldly. “I know you’re under his command. Today, Naomi has been bullied, and the outcome will be the same no matter
who comes.”
The managers who had followed along were also nodding.
“Mr. Quinnell is right.”
“If it were me, I wouldn’t let anyone bully my daughter, either.”
Wynter listened, and her smile widened. She stepped forward with her eyes fixed on Shane.
“As far as I know, your daughter has been found, right? It’s said she’s already been brought back.
“Mr. Quinnell, by being so concerned about a sponsee, don’t you think people might think she’s your illegitimate daughter?”
