The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call
Chapter 312 Family Feud
It was nighttime, and Fabian was happily making yet more online. purchases. With Wynterâs arrival fast
approaching, he wanted to welcome her with festivity, and that included redecorating her old
bedroom.
The old man was beaming over his shopping conquests when Shane showed up. He used to be furious
with Shane and his incompetence,
but now, he simply let the latter ramble on.
Fabian sat there and listened to Shane talk until the cows came home.
When Shane had nothing more to say, Fabian tightened his grip on his cane and looked up at his son
before saying, âI wonât agree to this.â
Shaneâs brows furrowed. âI donât understand why you wonât accept
Naomi as a part of our family!â
Naomi, who was standing next to Shane, interjected calmly, âDad, please, no fighting with Grandpa.
The matter of my adoption isnât a important as Grandpaâs health. Letâs talk things out slowly, all right?
Talking things out was the last thing Shane wanted. He had to
suppress his rage as he demanded, âGive me a reason why you wonât agree to the adoption, Dad.â
Fabian asked curtly, âHave all these years made you forget that you still have a daughter out there
somewhere, Shane?â
Naomi faltered at this. She had never seen Fabian so distant and
grave before. In the past, a fight would have already broken out between him and Shane. But now, the
old man looked like he had

already won.
While Naomi pondered Fabianâs strange demeanor, Shane inhaled sharply and countered, âDad, no
one was more heartbroken than Marie and I when we lost our little princess. But thereâs no point in
grieving like this any longer.
âThe upstairs nursery has looked the same since we lost her. We have to move on.â Tears pricked his
eyes as he said this.
Fabian kept his cool gaze on Shane and spat, âWe will move on after we find our little princess, dead or
alive. In case youâre wondering, sheâs healthy and thriving, and certainly no longer lost as you claim.
Sheâs more brilliant than anyone Iâve ever met!â
Hearing this, Shane gaped at Fabian in disbelief. âDad, are you saying
that⦠our little princess isâ¦â
âFound,â Fabian finished Shaneâs sentence for him, his gaze darkening. âAnd sheâll be returning soon.
Adopting someone els this juncture seems rather inappropriate, donât you think?â
Shane paled, and so did Naomi. She couldnât believe what Fabian jus said. If the Quinnellsâ long-lost
daughter had been found, then what would become of Naomi? Naomi felt her legs go weak at the
thought.
âYou found our little princess?â Shane stepped forward as if to confront his father. âWhen? Why didnât
you tell me sooner?â
âIâm telling you now, arenât I?â Fabian drawled. He no longer felt any rage toward Shane, only
disappointment. He said a little too calmly,â Go and get ready to bring her home.
Shane couldnât wrap his head around this unexpected development.

Sheâs been found. Sheâs actually been found, and sheâll be coming home.â
Slowly, delight gleamed in his eyes as he asked Fabian earnestly,â Dad, do you have a picture of her?
Who does she take after, me or Marie?â
The question and the excitement in Shaneâs tone appeased Fabian, who answered impatiently, âI donât
have a picture of her. Just wait until she comes home and you can see for yourself.â
Shane looked like he was raring to go. âWhere is she now? Iâll go and pick her up!â
âSheâs on her way back to Kingbourne.â Fabian kept his answer vague.
Meanwhile, Naomi was silent as she bit her l*p. Her lowered gaze filled with anger and spite.
She didnât understand why Fabian decided to spring such news o them instead of informing them in
advance. It was as if he had nev considered Naomiâs feelings.
But Shane was oblivious to Naomiâs resentment. He was basking in
joy as the news of his little princessâ return sank in.
Naomi, on the other hand, began to fret over her position in the
Quinnell family. Now that the long-lost heiress had been found, what
would they do with an outsider like Naomi?
