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

CHAPTER 1236



Chapter 1236 As You Wish 

Such unrestrained shouting and cursing shocked everyone around. 

No one could believe that a mother would speak about her daughter in such a manner. It was far too viscous and beyond what people expected. 

Yet, Wynter remained unchanged, her demeanor calm throughout. 

Wynter even responded to Astrid’s outburst with complete calmness. “She wouldn’t have died if she had no dignity. Did you ask what she wanted in 

return? 

“Of course, it was to give you money. If you weren’t biased, then why did your son receive 150 dollars for allowance, while your daughter only got 15? That is a huge difference.” 

Astrid gritted her teeth. “My son has a bigger appetite. Can’t I give him more? Sure, she gave us money, but we never forced her!” 

“You didn’t force her to give you honey, but you constantly told her she 

shouldn’t be in school and that a girl should get married early.” 

Wynter’s voice was steady and unruffled. Yet, her words hit hard. It left Astrid speechless, choking her into silence. 

It became clear to everyone what was really going on. 

The couple’s favoritism toward their son and their desire to claim the insurance money were the real reasons behind their urgency to take Vanessa’s body. It wasn’t because they wanted her to rest in peace. 

Vanessa wasn’t a completely blameless victim, but her desperation for money stemmed entirely from her family’s situation. With parents like hers, how could any daughter be happy? 

Due to her lack of love, she would put all her guard down and consider people her best friends whenever they were even slightly kind to her. 

Wynter knew why this couple was here at this moment. She raised her eyes and said, “It was true that Vanny wanted money, but she didn’t randomly sleep with people. Her jumping shows that it wasn’t consensual.

“She must have resisted. While her intentions might not earn much sympathy, the fact remains that the truth isn’t as the internet portrays.” 

“Can the truth put food on the table? We are old now. We can’t handle this like you young people can. I still need my reputation!” Astrid was furious at Wynter, who was meddling with her situation. 

Astrid tapped her own face and spat out her words, “I’m taking my daughter home today! Go ahead and arrest me if you have the guts!” 

Wynter’s eyes darkened. “As you wish.” 

Her voice was so low that Astrid didn’t hear her clearly. 

Suddenly, a group of young people in plain clothes approached and swiftly 

handcuffed her. 

Astrid was dumbfounded. She hadn’t expected to be actually arrested. 

Initially, people might have sympathized with her, but now they had seen through their act. The couple truly didn’t deserve to be parents. 

There were the Wray family’s people amongst the crowd. The couple’s appearance here had been orchestrated by the Wrays. 

After all, tracing back to the Wrays directly would be challenging due to the layers of intermediaries involved. 

Their goal was to have Steve and Astrid admit that Vanessa was desperate enough to do anything for money. 

Even if the police uncovered something suspicious about her death, it would merely seem like a misunderstanding that could be resolved privately without any lasting impact. 

But they had to report this issue to their superiors now that Vanessa’s parents 

had been arrested. 

Upon hearing the news, Adrien’s face paled. He walked in and interrupted the meeting that Kenton was in. He leaned close to Kenton’s ear and quietly explained the situation to him. 

Kenton simply said, “Adjourn the meeting.” He then stood up and strode purposefully toward his office before a loud bang was heard.
