Chapter 1553 He Made a Deal "Lucas is here to investigate the cases regarding corruption and economic crime, but there's no need to worry about the situation here. He's probably the supremo," Wynter explained. Though it was largely her conjecture, there were spredictable aspects at play.
Despite the Chamber of Commerce's importance, it was riddled with corruption. The higher-ups would never turn a blind eye to such an issue, especially with an influential figure presented. That was likely the reason for the personnel changes happening.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Special Unit was aware of Lucas' connection to Wynter, though he might not know her identity since he was involved in politics. That said, the Keller family could provide valuable support to Wynter. And if that fell through, she could always reach out to Dalton.
Elmer had once caught a glimpse of Dalton from a distance. However, he found Dalton to be more elusive than what he heard.
Elmer recalled a twhen he thought he had successfully hidden, only for Dalton to discover him. He couldn't shake the feeling that Dalton was even more mysterious than Wynter herself. With that recollection, Elmer was convinced of Wynter's safety.
Meanwhile, Wynter left the scene to meet Logan, who had arrived earlier. Upon seeing Clyde in the morgue, Logan broke into tears. But what saddened him the most was that he still couldn't understand Clyde's drastic changes.
In Logan's early memories, Clyde had always been loving. However, he couldn't recall when that had changed. As Logan stared into space, he struggled to accept the death of his grandfather, who had raised him.
Glancing at Logan, Wynter stated, "Under normal circumstances, Mr. Winston Senior should've passed away a long tago. I'm sure you've realized that your grandpa is different from others. When one reaches 100, it feels as if their thas been borrowed." Logan felt his fingers tense as he asked, "You mentioned he wants my help to prolong his life." "What I meant was he planned to kill you and take over your body," Wynter corrected and glanced at the time. Logan growled in response, "That's not something Grandpa would do!" "Perhaps he was never truly your grandpa. I had sassumptions based on the timeline. Do you have any memories of your great-grandpa, Diego Winston?" Wynter calmly inquired.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLogan shook his head, unable to recall anything about Diego.
After a moment of contemplation, Wynter decided to be blunt for clarity. "Mr. Diego was a traitor. He assisted the Foplyans with translations and even resold many of our antiques." That revelation left Logan reeling, and his eyes widened in shock.
Wynter steadied him and continued, "To continue surviving, the entity inside Mr. Diego needed to inhabit other bodies and chose Mr. Winston Senior as his host.
"Mr. Winston Senior willingly agreed to the deal. I suppose something must have happened to the family back then." Wynter's explanation seemed to trigger a memory in Logan's mind. While he wasn't fully aware of the details, he had heard stories from his elders.
