The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 373

"I would have retaliated, too," Wynter said coolly. "I'm in no position to give you advice."

The specter was delighted. "Out of respect to you, I'll spare this Bailey guy. I'll head to the Scotts immediately!"

"Wait." Wynter bit into her finger before pressing on the phone. "The Scotts have someone guiding them spiritually. Let me know if you run into trouble. I'll come and save you."

This was the first time the specter heard someone offer to rescue him. He paused for a moment, forming the idea of a mother in his mind for the first time.

He dropped his resentment.

At the moment, it wasn't only Austin and Logan who felt a remarkable sense of relief. Even Rupert, who already had one foot off the second floor's balcony, decided not to end his life.

Rupert's family was still bawling their eyes out when he told his grandfather, "Grandpa, it's the Scotts. They've messed with the spirits and pinned them on me."

With that, he collapsed in his grandfather's arms.

Although the Fentons and Baileys were not as powerful as the Scotts, they were affluent families in their own right and didn't need to rely on the Scotts for their livelihood.

Hearing his grandson, Andrew Bailey understood there was more to the accident than it first seemed. He would never treat the Scotts the same way again.

They had never wronged anyone, yet in the end, they were harmed by the Scotts.

Andrew kept this grudge in mind.

…

At the Scott family's mansion on the mountainside, Peter seemingly invited Darrell over for a cleansing ritual.

In reality, there was someone else he wanted to meet due to the successive failures in Southdale, and then Kingbourne.
