The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 1503

Wynter's question left Kenton completely stunned. The scholarship committee was his secret to survival. He couldn't figure out how Wynter knew so much!

"Weren't you busy setting me up in the stock market? How did you find out about the scholarship committee?" Kenton asked cautiously.

He was genuinely frightened. Wynter, who everyone looked down upon, had done so much behind the scenes. Her investigation went deeper than he had imagined.

The scariest part was that neither he nor "that man" had noticed anything. They thought she was just here to help the Quinnell family restore its former glory.

The Chamber of Commerce could not fall back into the Quinnell family's hands. That was a strict order from "that man", and also the reason why the Wray family had been able to rise so quickly in the Chamber over the years.

They all believed that Wynter came to Hawford with the goal of reclaiming the Chamber. But now…

Kenton raised his head again. "The matter with the scholarship committee is a little sinister. I only handle the buying and don't know where those people end up or what they are used for."

"Tell me what you know." Wynter would not let him record such ambiguous statements.

Kenton clenched his fist, "When the scholarship committee first started, I thought it was just the higher-ups wanting young girls. After all, who doesn't?

"Later, as the demand increased, some of the selected individuals were chosen based on intelligence and other factors.

"I truly don't understand the selection criteria of those people. I only handle recruitment. With such a large group of girls, there will be some that satisfy those above."

Kenton was telling the truth.

Wynter put away the voice recorder and looked outside. Soon, someone walked in. This time, it was the real public official.

"That man" received news that someone had been reassigned to a new position at that critical moment. For him, this was a variable in his plans.

He was so close to taking a significant step forward. He could have become the leader he wanted to be. Yet, a problem arose at a time like this.

He had no intention of stepping in to help the Wray family. Instead, he could leverage the people beneath him.

However, the report from his secretary left him furrowing his brows. "Why didn't the car go straight to the station?"

"It seems that there was traffic." The secretary added, "There was an accident on the bridge."

The old man was particularly wary of anything that slipped beyond his control. "Are you certain it's just a detour?"
