Chapter 320 Slow Poisoning Wynter looked as sharp as she was stunning, a trait that a true Quinnell heiress would have. None of the household staff dared challenge her identity. They couldn't even help staring at her.
They watched as she made her way from the threshold to the study in long, confident strides. There was no denying her beauty as the staff took in her chiseled profile.
Wynter never thought she could win over a crowd with her looks alone, not that she particularly cared about winning anyone over. She was more concerned about the toxins that were working their way through Fabian's system.
As the door to the study swung open, Fabian leaped to his feet and grinned at Wynter. "Chere and lethave a look at you, Wynter. Are you cold? "I would have sent my fleet of cars to bring you to Kingbourne, but that Yarwood brat toldhis entourage offered more security.
Anyway, where's your grandmother?" "She said she'll cover another day," Wynter answered and immediately reached out to take Fabian's pulse. "How are you feeling, Grandpa?" Fabian felt perfectly fine. "My temper got the better of me, I think." Without another word, Wynter pulled out her black pouch and took a silver needle from it. She then swiftly stabbed the needle into Fabian's acupuncture detox point. When she pulled out the needle, the tip was Chapter 320 Slow Poroning nearly completely black.

Fabian froze. "Wynter, is that... poison?" "Yes. The toxins were built up slowly in your system," Wynter concluded as she stored her needles.

Alexis had no idea what the herb was, but the doctor who followed him into the study had been privileged enough to cacross the herb before. "A Zenith herb! A real-life Zenith herb!" Zenith herb was extremely hard to cby, and for Wynter to produce an actual, freshly plucked one was surprising.
"You want this cooked?" "Yes," Wynter replied, sounding almost nonchalant about it.
Fabian had deduced from the doctor's reaction that the herb was extremely rare, hence his question.
The doctor smiled and said, "You're lucky to have such a resourceful granddaughter, Mr. Quinnell. The herb is only sold by the Heavenly Medical Guild once every five years, and the bidding price starts at five million for a stalk.
"It cures all kinds of diseases. We call it a miracle herb. I never thought you would have such a precious herb on your person, Ms Change 20 Slow-Pecanny Quinnell." Hearing this, Fabian looked at Wynter in alarm. "Wynter, you shouldn't waste such an herb on curing me. Save it for yourself." Wynter reasoned with him gently, "Grandpa, the herb can cure your sooner than conventional detoxing methods. Besides, the herb isn't as rare as they say, and Heavenly Medical Guild probably rigged its market price. It doesn't cost that much." She could always farm more of the herb. It was difficult to cultivate Zenith herb, but it certainly wasn't extinct.
Fabian chuckled. “You're the only one I know who'd say such things. about Heavenly Medical Guild. But you should be careful of what you say. Even an outsider likeknows how incredible the guild is in the medical world." "It's so-so," Wynter countered vaguely before changing the subject. Grandpa, shall we eat?" Delighted, he said, "Of course. Alexis, could you bring the gifts I bought for Wynter?" "You boughtgifts again, Grandpa?" Wynter gleaned at her phone and did not see any invoice that indicated orders from Fabian.
He patted her hand. "I didn't want you to worry about commuting, so I got you a few cars." "A few?" she repeated as dread filled her.
Fabian cleared his throat. "Just a few. Shall we adjourn to the dining room?" П Chapter 370 Slow Poisoning
He had never been one to feel like m splurging, but that changed when Wynter cinto his life. He bought the Cars after watching a livestream. While the viewers had praised the cars' appearances, they found the million-dollar price tags too steep.

Wynter cast him a thoughtful look. She knew he only meant well, and she smiled as she took the keys.

"Thank you for the gift, Grandpa. It's perfect. I was just thinking getting one so could bring Grandma E around, what with her bad legs. and all."
"I knew you'd like it!" Fabian beamed. With half the toxins out of his body, he could breathe properly again.
Everything seemed fine until Wynter reached the living room and spied the man-made waterfall that flowed into a lily pond on the west side of the house.
Her eyes narrowed slightly as she assessed the set-up and found something amiss.
