Chapter 280 What Comes After the Reunion
Wynter had woken up in a daze and soon after developed intermittent explosive disorder. For a long time, she suffered through an identity crisis. Her memories were in tatters, and she was left to piece them
back together.
Atwater was the only person she remembered. She felt that the sugilite charm she had as a child would be the key to unraveling this mystery. Now all she had to do was track it down.
Fanny had gone mad, so there was no way of getting any useful
information out of her.
As Fanny’s husband, Dickson surprisingly knew very little about her, such as who had paid her to feed the Quinnells misleading
information.
Wynter had tried looking into this but found all the records wiped
clean. Even the transaction had been paid for in cash. No average
person would take such elaborate precautions. She pondered on thi
vital information before going to bed for the night.
Meanwhile, Dalton made sure that the Macintoshes got what they
deserved. Hubert, in particular, was left in a daze after going through
intense interrogation..
Dalton had all of Hubert’s crimes, which totaled no less than 100,
listed down and sent to the top brass.
Following this, an entire criminal network was uncovered. The
officers asked them questions such as why those kidnapped children
had been able to register under different households and where their birth certificates were procured.
After rounds of interrogation, the traffickers were led away by the
officers.
When the mastermind, who remained well-hidden in Kingbourne, sensed that things were off, they quickly did damage control.
Meanwhile, everyone on the internet was waiting for the press release on this case. The wait was over by midnight.
The present case saw no less than 30 kidnapped children rescued from human traffickers. Now, the children could finally go back to
their families.
The main suspects, namely the married Yaleman couple and the Macintosh father-and-son duo, had confessed to their crimes.
With so many persons involved in the case, the authorities decided that the details would be withheld from the public for now.
The witness in the case was reportedly safe and would receive public commendation from the City Bureau in due course.
Without her, the crimes that went on in Granite Village would never have been uncovered. Her kindness and bravery made her a hero.
The person who wrote the press release lauded Wynter with praise. The viewers of Wynter’s livestream immediately screenshotted the press release and reposted it.
“What did I say? Our streamer’s a real star!”
“I read the press release and I felt so sorry for the kids who were
kidnapped! Down with those filthy traffickers!”
“Our streamer is an angel! She’s been saving lives since she started
this livestreaming channel, but now, her services go beyond medical treatments. She’s like a vigilante!”
“She’s a defender of the weak!”
“Finally, someone saw her for her brilliance! Sobs. I can’t even right
now. She’s incredible!”
The Empathy Clinic was no ordinary livestreaming channel. It was a
place of meaning.
The Empathy Clinic’s sudden rise to fame took the platform’s higher- ups by surprise. Wynter did not need anyone to watch her back at all. She was perfectly capable of making it on her own.
Her fellow streamers, and even the rest of the cyberspace, could tell
that a streamer like Wynter was rare
The higher-ups immediately held an emergency conference, during which they considered their boss’ as well as the platform’s overall interests. They decided to protect Wynter at all costs and keep her on their platform.
After drawing up the terms and conditions for an ongoing
collaboration, they assigned Mod007 to negotiate with Wynter.
Wynter did not go online that night and missed all the comments that
praised her.
Everyone was tired that night. With the downpour outside, Wynter had
gone to sleep earlier than usual. She even dreamed, which was
unusual given her ability to sleep soundly through most nights.
GamesAther the Reuniti
The dream felt real. She dreamed that the Quinnells had brought her back to Kingbourne after the Yates kicked her out.
In her dream, her oldest brother had picked her up, though she was
unfamiliar with him.
The Quinnells cherished her and loyed her after being reunited with her. They arranged for dozens of household staffers to attend to her and gifted her with a lot of jewelry. They even got her a flashy sports
car.
It seemed that the Quinnells were content to give her whatever she
wanted.
Alas, all good things must come to an end. At some point in Wynter’s
dream, the Quinnells began to compare her with Naomi.
