Chapter 964 Found you Declan Quinnell
Jolene couldn’t remember the last time she had received a call from Albert. She would have thought that he had found out about her schemes and became suspicious of her if it weren’t for the occasional flowers sent by his assistant.
“Yes, that’s right. Albert said he’d take me to visit you.” Jolene’s tone was unusually relaxed. “I just wanted to let you know so that you could be prepared
“Why is he suddenly bringing you to visit me?” Declan had been a shrewd and calculating tactician for years. He lowered his voice. “Did you mention anything about me to him?”
Jolene felt a little guilty. “He kept asking about my life abroad, so I told him that I happened to run into you. I said that you recognized me and knew I was someone he cared about, so you made sure I didn’t suffer too much,”
Declan’s expression turned cynical when he heard that. “Who told you to say that?”
Declan squeezed the sandalwood beads in his hand. He was furious with Jolene’s incompetence and stupidity. It made him wonder how his grandnephew, who was known as “the Wolf of Winnow Street“, ever took a liking to her.
Declan took a deep breath. “How did he react after you said that?”
“He was very grateful to you.”
Jolene had the wrong impression of Albert. After all, she only knew Albert in his younger days and when he was more trusting of her. Back then, Albert had never put up his defenses against her.
“He even said that it would be great if his grandpa was as understanding as you.”
Jolene was very eager to marry into the Quinnell family and live a life of luxury. The financial strain that she was experiencing recently had been hard on her.
The pressure from abroad was also relentless, and she always had to maintain her good front in
Cascadia.
Although Albert had been sending his assistant lately, the gifts had all been inexpensive and invaluable
trinkets. He said those trinkets were the memories they shared during their college days.
Jolene despised the gifts but had to pretend to genuinely appreciate them. Finally, things seemed to be paying off!
Declan paused at Jolene’s words. He wondered if he was being overly sensitive and if his nephew was
simply concerned for Jolene.
He glanced at his phone and noted the messages he had received previously. Many stakeholders had been asking about his next plan after the failed deal with Dalton.
Some of Declan’s old friends had suffered from business losses, but what made him the most uneasy
was the fact that some of them were sent to prison.

The Yarwood family was pursuing the matter aggressively. Declan knew that it was only a matter of time before it implicated him.
Albert’s involvement would be the key to alleviating the current crisis that Declan was in. With Albert taking the blame, Declan could replace a way out.
With this in mind, Declan stopped hesitating. “Come here with Albert. But be mindful of your tone and
behavior.”
“Yes. Don’t worry. I understand.”
Liam Miller, Declan’s butler, entered the room just as Declan hung up the call. “Mr. Quinnell, there’s an important guest in the back garden.”
“Back garden?” Declan’s brow furrowed as he realized something. “Who is it? Did they say?”
Liam lowered his voice. “You need to meet them yourself. They said they are friends of Tyler Shaw.”
Declan quickly headed to the back garden when he heard those words.
A taxi came to a halt a mile away from the villa. The taxi was stopped by the security guards.
“Sir, you may not enter as this is private property. You need to turn right to return to the main road.”
The taxi driver glanced back at his passenger and was about to speak when Wynter lowered the window. Her side profile was fair and delicate, and she spoke with a slow and gentle voice.
“Am I not allowed in?”
“Ms- Ms. Quinnell!” the guards stammered. “Of course, you are allowed in. It’s just that Mr. Quinnell
Senior, he…”
