Chapter 1562 Wynter Has the Swag Wynter hung up after saying that. She was confident that with Lucas on the other end, they would definitely jump into action. Furthermore, her message wasn't something anyone would dare overlook.
Lucas had just arrived in town after his transfer. He hadn't even had the chance to attend the conference, but as soon as he stepped off the high-speed train, he was already met by a welcoming party-people of considerable status in Hawford. After all, he deserved the respect his title warranted.
But the timing of his phone call was fortuitous-it was a call from the anti-corruption unit. He hadn't forgotten the purpose of his reassignment. He glanced over at Juan.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Mr. Keller has personal matters to deal with." Juan was quick to manage the situation, efficiently blocking sof the people approaching Lucas.
These were all influential public officials from Hawford, and Lucas couldn't afford to waste too much time. After hearing the details of the issue, he immediately issued orders. "Act on what she said. Whether this is a prank or not, lockdown the city and alert the SWAT team." This was a move intended to circumvent local authority for a more direct action.
Wynter had not misjudged Lucas. He was indeed someone who understood the gravity of the situation.
Lucas was already receiving such a call on his very first day in this new role, and he couldn't shake the feeling that the circumstances in Hawford were more complicated than he had anticipated.
Yet, the urgency in that call reminded him so much of Wynter, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.
Meanwhile, Wynter had been following the black minivan for quite stime, navigating a series of winding roads that led toward the countryside.
She was very familiar with Hawford's layout and realized that if the vehicle didn't hit the highway soon, she would be putting herself at risk of being discovered. The fewer cars on the road, the more she stood out.
Rather than waiting for them to spot her, she decided to reveal herself, but in a way that wouldn't link her to any kind of tracking. With that in mind, she accelerated.

Just then, in the middle of the road, Wynter executed a sharp turn, stopping right in front of the minivan- fearless and bold.
Colby immediately hit the brakes, the screeching tires coming to a halt.
"Why did you stop like that?" Colby berated. After all, this would be anyone's first reaction to a situation like this. Wynter seemed to completely ignore them, perfectly embodying the attitude of a scion who looked down on others.
"My vehicle won't move. Does anyone have a lighter?" She simply parked her motorcycle, removed her helmet with one hand, and smirked, looking incredibly cool.
Eliana didn't know where her sudden courage cfrom. Perhaps it was from seeing Wynter and the fact that she still felt uncomfortable in the minivan, she shouted from inside the vehicle, "Miss, I want to go with you!" X
