Chapter 258 I Can Find That Person for You

Derek’s knees buckled beneath him. Dalton had known too much. So much so that Derek had no idea

how to clear his name.

Shaking with fear at the sight of the small military aircraft and SUVs surrounding them, the elderly

villagers had no clue who Dalton was, nor did they dare to speculate.

They were all too aware that Dalton must have wielded considerable influence. Otherwise, he couldn’t

have orchestrated such a massive

operation.

The idea of the Macintoshes almost coercing the girlfriend of such a powerful figure into marrying into

their family was unthinkable!

Even the elderly villagers trembled at the mere thought. With their expressions tinged with regret, the

Macintoshes felt the weight of their actions-particularly Cheryl.

As Cheryl watched Derek being taken away by the operatives, her mind raced. She had

underestimated Wynter, thinking her to be a

naive student who could be easily manipulated with money and

sweet words.

Fanny had even assured her that Wynter was nothing like her daughter, Yvette, who was now the

heiress of a wealthy family in

Kingbourne.

оп

Fanny described Wynter as just a foolish student, more focused her online part-time gigs than her poor

academic performance, which resulted in her parents disowning her.

As Cheryl pondered Fanny’s words, she felt an intense urge to confront her. If only Fanny had bothered

to investigate Wynter’s background thoroughly, perhaps the Macintosh family wouldn’t be in such dire

straits now.

Everything was ruined! The Macintosh family’s decade-long prestige was all gone now! Everyone on

the scene was frozen in fear, cowering on the ground with their heads bowed.

The operatives acted swiftly. They apprehended their targets and ensured those deserving of

imprisonment were taken into custody.

Garfield’s hands grew cold as he realized he couldn’t evade

investigation in this matter.

However, Dalton, leading the operation, didn’t offer him a quick resolution. Instead, his icy gaze

focused on Hubert, who was babbling incoherently, as Dalton addressed Garfield.

“Mr. Wade, is this the competent assistant you wish to promote?”

“I- It’s all a misunderstanding! We Havenlight County-“Garfield tried to explain, regretting his

entanglement with the Macintosh family.

“But this isn’t the first time Havenlight County has been implicated in

such matters,” Dalton interjected, producing a newspaper out of

nowhere.

He then continued, “Seven years ago, a female teacher from

Havenlight County was hailed as an inspirational figure. Ironically,

she was trafficked into your county too.”

Dalton pressed the newspaper into Garfield’s hand and added, “Mr.

Wade, don’t pretend you didn’t know about this.

“After all, during that time, the Macintosh family flourished, and the Quirk family even received the title

of ‘kind-hearted matchmaker’ title, which you bestowed upon them.”

Garfield’s legs weakened, nearly giving away beneath him. Realizing the gravity of the situation, he

knew he had to speak up or face the consequences. With little hope of assistance from the Scott family,

he understood he was on his own.

“I admit it! I’ll confess everything!” he exclaimed, locking eyes with Elliot. “Mr. Quinnell, you haven’t

located the person you’re looking for, have you? If I approach the Quirks on your behalf, they’ll surely

provide information!”

His words struck a nerve with Elliot, aggravating his already feverish

state.

Ryan’s fury erupted. “I’ve asked you countless times before, and each time you claimed ignorance!”

“Mr. Lloyd, I need to keep a trump card to secure myself, don’t I?” Garfield responded, avoiding his

gaze. “As you’ve seen, the folks of Paradise Village aren’t forthcoming with strangers. You won’t get

any useful information from them, but I might.”

Elliot approached Garfield, clutching his injured shoulder. “If you dare deceive the Quinnells, I’ll strip off

my uniform and personally send

you to hell.”

Garfield shuddered, speaking cautiously, “Mr. Quinnell, I swear on my family’s honor that the person

you’re seeking is among the girls the Quirks trafficked. Only they know who and where the girl is now.”
