Chapter 1593 They Need Protection
Eliana didn't understand what Wynter meant initially. However, as night fell, she watched Wynter lower her head, fiddling with something before looking up again.
Wynter looked exactly like her now!
Eliana's eyes widened in disbelief. She had only seen scenes like this in movies. To think that something like a disguise technique would happen in front of her was shocking to Eliana.
"Ms. Wynter, you-"Eliana gasped.
"I naturally have to look like you if I'm using your identity." Wynter tugged at the edges of her face mask with a mischievous smile.
She had always been bold but meticulous in her actions. The Special Unit had always handled confidential missions, so she would leave no room for error in these matters.
"Stay here and get a good night's sleep tonight. I'll leave first tomorrow. After I'm gone and the people around your house clear out, you can take your grandparents and leave," Wynter instructed.
Eliana looked up, wanting to say she had no idea when those people would actually leave. "My people will come to pick you up. The most important thing is to have your grandparent go about their morning routine as usual. Make them wake up early to collect bottles as always. Don't let the others notice anything unusual.
"They want to keep you under control and silence you. Hence, to prevent future issues, they'll no doubt continue watching. But don't worry, my people will create a distraction. A day is all the time we'll need," Wynter said casually.
Eliana was still just a student, after all. She had never been involved in something like this before. Her excitement was mixed with nerves.
This would test not only her wits but also her ability to stay calm in overwhelming situations. She'd also need to explain it all to Anson and Agnes.
Noticing her anxiousness, Wynter patted her shoulder reassuringly. "Once the other girls are safe, I'll message you right away. By then, you'll already be in Kingbourne."
Eliana looked up sharply and nodded vigorously. Wynter made her feel like she wasn't just someone who needed saving-she even had the potential to save others, no matter how limited her abilities were.
Meanwhile, Fredric, believing the crisis was finally behind him, allowed himself a sigh of relief.
Firstly, he believed that Lucas wasn't as challenging as he had initially feared. Secondly,
Wynter, who had kept him on edge, had been detained. This was a crucial step in keeping the Whitman and Quinnell families from taking action.
With that, the Chamber of Commerce remained firmly under his control.
The villages involved in human trafficking had deeply unsettled him, giving him the impression that Lucas would be difficult to handle. Yet, after a meal together, Fredric realized Lucas wasn't so formidable.
Fredric believed Lucas' position stemmed from his privileged family background and the support of Jackson, who had military merit.
While Lucas couldn't be touched, given that it was an instruction from the higher-ups, Fredric was confident he could control everyone else's fate. After all, Lucas was just like the others.
As long as he kept things discreet, Lucas wouldn't be able to notice. If he played his cards right, Lucas might even become his "ally".Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
Fredric chuckled as he thought about this. Soon, he dialed a number.
On the other end, a voice, aged and hoarse, responded after a long wait, "I heard from my subordinates. Fredric, you handled things well. Your crisis management skills are impressive.
"As for the matters at Mindcrest High School, keep a close eye on them. Remember, education is fundamental. Some of our teachers need protection, especially under these delicate circumstances."
"Rest assured. I just spoke with Mr. Keller, and we're aligned on this point. Education is indeed the foundation, and at the very least, we need to maintain a good public image. Everything else can be dealt with gradually," Fredric replied.
