Chapter 1548 Something's Off With Lynette
With the help of scholarships, many had completed their studies abroad and found employment at large companies.
Eliana had long wished to support her grandparents after reaching adulthood, especially as her ailing grandfather struggled to cover her tuition fees. She hoped to ease his burden once she started earning a living. It seemed the more kindness one had, the less aware they were of humanity's darker side.
Meanwhile, Wynter remained at the villa after meeting with Yvette. She intended to take precautions based on the information Yvette shared.
When Yvette was taken away, Elmer finally broke his silence. "We can't let the pandemic spread, Boss. I'll head to the customs and inspect the visitors and goods that have passed through once more."
With his extraordinary memory, Elmer was capable of recognizing one after a single glance.
Upon hearing Elmer's suggestion, Wynter looked up at him. "I doubt you'll find anything at customs. Besides, your search could set off some red flags."
Elmer anxiously replied, 'But if we look at past outbreaks, any viruses from foreign origin are likely in the incubation period!"
"That's why we need to find out who smuggled the virus in and how they avoided the customs. First, we should locate the Winston family.
"Give Mt. Dragon a call. Since the culprit is a cultivator, he should be under their oversight. We need their assistance," Wynter instructed as she wandered deeper into the villa.
Elmer acknowledged her order. He thought of something and added, 'Please be careful, Boss. We've received word that someone might target you because of your actions in the stock market."
Wynter glanced back at him and stated, 'Isn't that a good thing? I'd get to see how the bigwigs retaliate. For years, they have pushed the useless Wrays into the spotlight while driving local brands into the ground.
"Such a leader deserves to face consequences at our hands. Don't forget the Special Unit's initial aspirations." Elmer nodded in acknowledgment, and his striking silver hair swayed.
Every member of the Special Unit was exceptional, and they rarely considered one's status while executing their missions. An inscription on the wall of their headquarters read, "Amidst the world's injustices, only through blood does wrath arise."Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
As Wynter pointed out, the mission wasn't particularly significant or called for their involvement.
Wynter instructed, 'Look into the school Yvette mentioned. I suspect there's more than meets the eye. Also, why hasn't the case involving the Wray family been closed?"
To outsiders, the question seemed puzzling. After all, the case should've been resolved following Kenton's bankruptcy.
But being the lead investigator on the case, Elmer understood Wynter's implication. 'There's nothing wrong with the account from Lynette's club."
The Wray family's downfall and Kenton's subsequent arrest had been the talk of Hawford. As Kenton's biological sister, Lynette surprisingly seemed unaffected by the scandals. In fact, more patrons had been flocking to her club.
At that moment, Wynter recalled Leo's reaction. Was Lynette possibly the one they should focus on instead of Kenton?
Wynter's eyes dimmed. Lynette's club operated completely above board, which meant Wynter would need a different approach to gather clues.
For the first time, Wynter felt overwhelmed by the information uncovered and the lack of manpower at her disposal. However, she instinctively believed that all incidents were connected to the Winston family.
