Chapter 305 Sycophantic Behavior Wynter stared at lan's back as he walked away, a smile curling on her 1*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 ttracking 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, "Con, 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! Most of the leading figures of Southdale were still loitering around the hall, including the Shepherds, who were angling to get into Lucas' good graces.

Nelson blanched when he heard what Lucas said to Wynter. Everyone else in the room went silent.

Roland's eyes nearly bugged out of his head. "Mentor? Are you sayin that this young lady is Mr. Munn's..." "Mentee," Lucas finished Roland's sentence with a smile. "And so am I, though Mr. Munn certainly makeslook like an accessory next to Wynter." At this point, everyone learned two things about Lucas. One, he hailed from the formidable Keller family, and two, Jackson Munn was his mentor.

As if those weren't groundbreaking enough, he went on to reveal that Wynter, the imposter that the Yates had gotten rid of, had also received instruction from Jackson.

Jackson was a force to be reckoned with and was practically a legendary figure. Despite all the years they had been in Southdale, even the Shepherds weren't good enough to meet him in person.

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 m 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 stsince 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 speople who called her obsolete and made it sound like they were better than us." y
