CHAPTER 1231

Chapter 1231 Lingering Influence

“Go remind Lynette to prepare some gifts to send to the Gibson family.”

Speaking of this, Kenton’s expression turned somewhat sour.

“After all, we used to be in–laws. We can’t become enemies. My brother–in–law

is indeed lucky. He’s risen quite a bit with a big figure supporting him.

“This current project relies heavily on him. If we secure it, the Chamber of Commerce will naturally belong to the Wray family.

“Tell my foolish sister that she’s caused enough trouble for the Wray family. She should apologize and resolve it herself. She knows very well how she got

that club of hers.”

Adrien nodded.

On the surface, Hawford seemed unchanged ever since the Quinnells prepared to return. However, some small businesses had indeed changed, though it was hard to pinpoint what exactly was different.

Adrien felt the Quinnell family’s lingering influence. However, he was unsure how to bring this up to Kenton. After all, if any incriminating evidence was found at the bar, the Wray family wouldn’t be left unscathed.

Fortunately, everything seemed under control. Once the bar reopened, people would quickly forget about the incident.

Meanwhile, at the crime scene, someone rushed over to Wynter and spoke urgently, “The victim’s family has arrived and is refusing an autopsy.

“They said according to their local custom, a girl who has been away from home for too long needs to be brought back as soon as possible.”

“Do they want to take her back when the case isn’t solved yet?” The investigators were puzzled.

Wynter raised her eyes slightly but otherwise showed no reaction.

The messenger also looked troubled. “Yes, they wouldn’t listen to us. They kept saying their daughter was already gone. They don’t want her to suffer anymore.

Chapter 1231 Langering Intence

“The autopsy is crucial for solving the case. How is it considered additional suffering?”

The messenger shook his head and opened his mouth, wanting to say more, but Wynter interrupted.

“I’ll go meet them.” Wynter removed her gloves and glanced back. “Preserve the scene, and don’t let any information leak. If anyone else shows up, don’t stop them. Everyone, wear plain clothes, and don’t get noticed.”

“Understood.”

The investigators greatly respected Wynter ever since she demonstrated her skills multiple times. They regarded her as their commander after learning that she was from the Special Unit.

What was surprising this time was that Dalton did not follow Wynter when she left. Instead, he stayed in the bar’s lobby.

The crow was still tethered there. He couldn’t fly away because the rope tying him down was made using the Arcane Way.

Although Wynter stopped Wolf from roasting and eating him, she also

restricted his freedom. He had become almost like an exhibit, with everyone

who entered the bar glancing at him.

The crow was feeling stifled. Only after Wynter left did he finally get a chance to look at Dalton openly. After all, he had sensed the presence of Dalton’s soul fragments nearby since the very beginning.

Not just the crow but even Wolf had felt something familiar in the

surroundings. However, without memories, Wolf couldn’t pinpoint the source of this familiarity.

Upon finding what he was searching for, he rushed over to find Wynter. However, after looking around, he failed to find her. Instead, he found Dalton, who he usually kept his distance from.

With no one else to ask, Wolf turned to Dalton. He raised his hands and

gestured, inquiring about Wynter’s whereabouts.

“She’s busy with other matters. She left you in my care and told me to tell you to listen to me,” Dalton said nonchalantly. He locked eyes with Wolf, as if
