The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 1585

Edison couldn't handle the provocation and suddenly grabbed Taylor by the collar before throwing a punch.

Taylor didn't get hit, but the incident drew attention to Edison. He should have kept a low profile as the whistleblower, but he couldn't hold back.

It wasn't just Edison who didn't understand the situation. Even his superior, Fredric, didn't grasp that neither Dalton nor Wynter could be touched.

Imagine the implications of arresting these two. One was the scion of Kingbourne and the Top Unit's mysterious "Artist". Meanwhile, the other was 001, the founder, with countless achievements and extensive experience in overseas operations, of the Special Unit known to no one.

If either of them were interrogated, it wouldn't be just a local affair—the news would reach Lucas immediately.

"Say that again? Who did they arrest?" Lucas furrowed his brow as he looked at his secretary from the car's back seat.

"Ms. Quinnell has indeed been arrested and hasn't resisted. We're currently in the questioning phase. Mr. Keller, should we consult the higher-ups to get Ms. Quinnell released? And what about the truth behind the stock market case? Should that be revealed?"

After hearing this, Lucas rolled down the window to clear his thoughts. He was well aware of Wynter's situation, especially regarding her identity. His teacher, who had always focused on the future of Cascadia and its people, had hinted that she was someone special.

Lucas had noticed this since his time in Southdale. Her seemingly casual actions always carried a deeper meaning.

He understood better than anyone that a significant part of his rapid rise was due to the major cases she had often brought to him. Furthermore, she had her insights regarding economic development.

"I suspect this isn't just an economic crime—there's more at play. As for Mindcrest High School, we shouldn't alert anyone. Keep an eye on the dismissed principal as people are waiting for him outside. We'll wait for further news on everything else."

"Understood." The secretary closed the file.

Lucas was steady in his actions. Although he was young for his position, he could maintain composure in front of certain people, likely due to his military background.

The school staff had received the news at the last minute that one of their higher-ups was coming. They barely had time to prepare.
