The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 1651

As Judah watched Wynter leave the room, he bit back the questions he intended to ask. He knew that any response to Fredric's arrival would give himself away.

Despite being familiar with the rules and protocols, he still couldn't fathom how the Special Unit had learned about his blood transfusion surgery—unless Fredric disclosed it. It wasn't on the records, and he had been careful not to leave any traces that would jeopardize his career.

Judah pretended to take a sip of his drink, trying to appear composed. Yet, minutes passed, and Wynter still hadn't returned.

Judah became deeply unnerved. He couldn't stop wondering what Fredric might disclose and how he could escape the accusation. Sweats began to bead on his forehead the more he thought about it.

Little did he know that Wynter was just sitting outside watching the live feed. It turned out that Fredric hadn't even arrived yet, and it was all part of her mind game.

Before leaving the interrogation room, she purposely mentioned Fredric's arrival to keep Judah in a constant state of doubt and disconcert. Her tactic proved effective, as Judah grew increasingly anxious when she failed to show up.

Judah believed he had behaved normally, yet his restless hand gestures and frequent refills of water had betrayed his feelings.

While monitoring Judah, Wynter seized the chance to hack into the internet and dug up more about him.

Wynter could never forget her traumatic time in Riverfield. The villagers had completely lost their sense of moral judgment and believed it was entirely normal to purchase a wife or son.

The images of Elliot locked in the cellar, the dog chained in the yard, and the young students imprisoned together were etched in Wynter's mind. Whenever she thought about it, a chill settled deep in her heart.

She had witnessed countless acts of human cruelty. But no matter how loudly the public condemned such horrors, those villagers remained unfazed and carried on with their depravity. It would appear that their sinister nature was ingrained in their bones.

Wynter recalled how the village chief seemed to think he was above the law. His complete lack of fear toward any official investigations suggested he had protection, much like the situation in Valen Village.
