Chapter 1057 Her Own Path
âLogan Winston? Youâve met him?â Wynter asked.
Kaspar stroked his beard thoughtfully. âI caught a glimpse. The boy seems troubled, but thatâs not the main issue. What concerns me is his fortune. It carries a sense of impending doom.â
Wynterâs expression changed subtly at Kasparâs words, though her thoughts
remained hidden from everyone else.
The Quinnell familyâs affairs had spread throughout Kingsbourne by now.
Declan was under investigation, and Shane was taken away. There were circulating rumors of internal strife within the Quinnell family.
Those who tried to help Declan were quickly brought in for questioning themselves. Some sensed that something was going on, but no one suspected Wynterâs involvement.
Meanwhile, changes were evident in the Fenton and Winston families.
Austin Fenton looked at her aunt, Marla Fenton, whose face was flushed with excitement. However, he wasnât sure what she was happy about.
Before Austin could ask, Marla had already visited to tell him all about it.
âI donât know which fortune tellerâs divination your uncle listened to, but they said that I would bring him fortune. Now, heâs had a change of heart and is giving all his money to me. His mistress is furious.â
Austin was interested upon hearing the gossip and set aside the game he was playing. âIs there such a fortune teller?â
âOf course. I used to nag him about spending on fortuneâtelling and buying all sorts
of items.
âHe always takes that mistress around for sightseeing. People were saying that I donât compare to his mistress because she knows something about protective charms and such.â
I
Marla took a sip of her tea and chuckled. âAll is right in the world now. When I meet that fortune teller, I will make sure I thank her properly! She sure is kindâhearted!â
Austin became even more curious and wanted to know who this fortune teller was.
Aunt Marla, didnât you ask Uncle Shawn? Where did he hire this fortune teller from?â
âShe should be someone from Mt. Dragon.â Marla set down her cup. âYou should accompany me there sometime. This divination is worth its weight in gold.â
Austin loved seeking out excitement and definitely wanted to go. He wanted to bring Logan along with him when the time came, too.
However, so far, Austin had never met anyone more skilled in fortuneâtelling than
Wynter.
If she hadnât kept such a low profile and wasnât only interested in business and running companies, she would have been the most famous fortune teller in
Kingbourne.
âThat mistress is so relentless. She is still trying to cling to your uncle.â Marla sighed deeply. âShe really gets on my nerves sometimes.â
Despite being a playboy, Austin knew better than to meddle with someone married.
Aunt Marla, just tell her to scram. Sheâs a mistress, so she is the shameless one.â
âAlright.â Marla smiled while nodding.
She appeared lost in thought for a moment before she asked abruptly, âYour uncle
didnât dare to cross the line because I have my familyâs support.
âBut what about those women without any backing? What would they do if they
encountered such situations?â
Austin didnât quite understand Marla. âWhat kind of situations?â
Marla thought about those women with husbands who cheated and mistresses who
would taunt them.
She opened her mouth but didnât end up saying those words.
The sky outside grew darker.

Gordon Quinnellâs situation resurfaced. It drew interest from both business and
political circles who reached out to the Quinnells
Fabian asked Wynter, âWynter, what are your plans now? Which offer will you take?â
âNone of themâ Wynter smiled warmly as she held onto Fabian. âGrandpa, you know me well I prefer working alone rather than cooperating with others.
âBesides, I havenât really integrated into any of the circles here in Kingsbourne, so why bother now?â
âYou are night. Itâs only by focusing on selfâimprovement that we can avoid being swayed by others Fabian smiled while nodding.
Albert was still worried about Wynterâs business ventures previously. She wouldnât be able to have longâterm success if she offended everyone.
At that time, Albert was still discussing with Sebastian about supporting Wynter from the sidelines
If any issues arose, they decided that they would handle them first. They were going to build connections and mitigate any damage caused by her confrontations.
