The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 305

Chapter 305 Sycophantic Behavior

Wynter stared at lan’s back as he walked away, a smile curling on her

l*ps.

She had been wondering about the mastermind behind Havenlight County’s human trafficking syndicate. After all, someone had to be pulling strings with the authorities if things like DNA tests and birth certificates for the abducted children could be forged.

The forgery had been so well done that even the government database reflected those records. It made it hard for parents to track down their missing children. The more they investigated, the more they felt like they were running a fool’s errand.

The Scott family from Kingbourne fit the profile perfectly. Wynter narrowed her eyes as she contemplated the possibility.

lan thought of his encounter with Wynter as an unhappy exchange

with an ignorant peasant.

The Scotts had been on the top of the social food chain for a long

time. They could easily manipulate the lives of those far beneath

them with a snap of their fingers. With such power, the Scotts never thought of Wynter as a threat.

lan had no idea that Lucas had managed to uncover the dirty secrets

of Paradise Village because of a seemingly ordinary young lady like

Wynter.

All the Scotts knew about Lucas’ relationship with Wynter was that they had met by coincidence. But little did the Scotts know, that was

exactly what Wynter wanted them and the public to think.

The only reason why the Quinnells had such a hard time tracking Wynter down was because her identity was kept top secret. Even Lucas had no clearance to access information on Wynter, let alone

the Scotts.

When the award ceremony ended, Lucas walked up to Wynter unabashedly and said, “Come on, Wynter. Thanks to you, I’ll get to

dine with our mentor.”

If lan hadn’t left early for Kingbourne, he wouldn’t have missed such.

vital information!

Nelson was horrified, and regret instantly filled him. His family were exchanging looks behind him, their thoughts mirroring his.

Known for being thick-skinned, Nelson immediately hurried to catch up to Lucas and Wynter. “Oh, Wynter! Over here!” Hearing this, Lucas and the others stopped in their tracks.

There was none of Nelson’s usual arrogance and criticism as he beamed at Wynter. He looked sycophantic, which was the opposite of how he had looked that night when he cast Wynter away from his

manor.

“I have yet to congratulate you on your accomplishments, Wynter! Margaret must be proud to have a granddaughter like you,” he gushed, hoping to bury the hatchet with Wynter. “I hope your grandmother is doing well. It’s been some time since I saw her.”

Wynter’s icy gaze fixed on Nelson’s grinning face.

Just as everyone around them pondered on their dynamics, they heard her say dryly, “My grandmother’s been doing great now that our courtyard is clear of any riff-raff who demand to call off

engagements.

“She’s been getting stronger too, which I bet is going to piss off a certain powerful medical family who look down their noses on traditional medicine. To think these are the same people who called her obsolete and made it sound like they were better than us.”
