The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call



Chapter 1779 Her Past

Wynter fell silent. According to the information she had, she still needed to make some preparations to completely dismantle the opposing side. Cybercrime, after all, was ultimately orchestrated by people.

Meanwhile, the Dwain family was in an uproar. This was especially true for Mathilda Evvie, Malcolm's mother. She was hysterical, refusing to believe that Malcolm was gone.

She stood at the doorway, shouting and shoving her granddaughter, Sherry Dwain. "It's all because of you, you worthless girl! Nothing good has happened to us ever since you came into this family!"

Sherry, who was merely five or six, was pushed to the ground, utterly bewildered. Her father was gone, and she wanted her mother. But her grandmother was angry and wouldn't feed her. Her mind was in a daze until a pair of hands caught her.

It was Wynter, disguised as Janielle. She had adopted Janielle's appearance and demeanor, appearing timid and avoiding eye contact.

Mathilda flew into a rage when she saw her. "How could you let this happen to Malcolm? How could he just kill himself? He would never do that! You must have driven him to it, you venomous woman!

"Why were you out gallivanting today when you should have been taking care of him?" Mathilda lunged forward, ready to grab Wynter by the hair.

The investigators quickly intervened, holding her back. "Please calm down. The test results are in, and it was indeed a suicide."

The commotion in the apartment building drew a crowd, and naturally, someone recorded it. Normally, such footage would be sealed and not allowed to spread. But this time, due to lax oversight, the video leaked.

The title was particularly eye-catching, tying it directly to the trending topic of Malcolm's suicide. "Mother-In-Law Confronts Daughter-In-Law" was a headline that would draw anyone in. The discussion grew heated, and the topic's popularity soared.

Janielle's face was clearly captured in the footage, which pleased Royston. The more vitriol in the comments, the better it would serve the Sacrificial Human Formation that the old cultivator had ordered.

"Who would have thought that a woman who only knew how to shop and cook would kill her own husband?" Royston chuckled, his eyes glinting like a sinister creature lurking in the shadows.

But sometimes, who could tell whether a person or a ghost was truly the worst of the two? Was it Mathilda, who blamed Janielle at every turn and treated Sherry as less than human? Or was it Malcolm who cheated on Janielle and schemed to leave her and Sherry with nothing?

Wynter lowered her gaze, hiding the mockery in her expression.

Mathilda continued to berate Wynter, as if it were her only outlet for grief. She couldn't accept that her "perfect" son had just taken his own life without warning.
