Chapter 300
300 Jumping to Conclusions
Dom paid no mind to what the others in the community thought. He was happy enough to have
accomplished what Jackson had asked of him. “You know, Dr. Genius, the leaders have missed you.
They go onto your live-streaming channel all the time and hardly dare to take
bathroom breaks.”
“I figured I’d go visit them before I leave,” Wynter said as she walked alongside Dom.
Dom gaped at her. “Leave? You’re leaving, Dr. Genius?”
What was he going to do if she left? He couldn’t handle the cadre on his own, and he knew better than
to give it a shot.
“I found my family, and they’re in Kingbourne,” Wynter explained with a smile. “Don’t worry, Mr. Fisher.
I’ll tell the others.”
Dom was still dazed as he muttered, “Mr. Munn Senior will be leaving for Kingbourne in the next few
days, and now you’re leaving for Kingbourne.” He sighed.
Wynter was surprised that Jackson was leaving for Kingbourne. She didn’t think he would be
transferred anywhere at his age. Perhaps she
had underestimated him.
She didn’t press for details, given that it was Jackson’s private affairs. She followed Dom to the seating
area right in front of the stage.
The ceremony was about to start. Reporters from various media channels, along with the Lopezes and
the Shepherds, had shown up.
Abel was too far away to spot Wynter. As for the Shepherds, they sat at the very front of the audience,
looking as regal and arrogant as
ever.
Wynter couldn’t help lifting a brow at the seating plan. She asked
Dom, “Mr. Fisher, why are the Shepherds seated up front? Are they receiving awards too?”
“No, I don’t think so.” Dom had no opinions on the Shepherds. “But I heard they were the ones who
supplied the DNA database that allowed parents to find their children.”
Wynter toyed with her purple sugilite pendant. “They supplied the
database?”
“Yes,” Dom replied without thinking much of it.
Wynter went quiet as she processed this information.
The audience clapped and cheered as the victims of the kidnapping
took their seats.
The Shepherds appeared to be the center of attention as the victims and their families thanked them
profusely for their contribution.
Charlie, who had always loved being put on a pedestal, smiled graciously as he said, “No thanks
necessary. We were only doing our job as doctors.”
The parents of the victims were beyond grateful as they took turns shaking Charlie’s hand.
Charlie gave a speech on behalf of the Shepherds, who were already the center of attention before
taking the stage.
However, he stopped short when he got to the front, and his gaze fell on Wynter. He asked in a cl*pped
tone, “What are you doing here?”
Why did she have to show up wherever he was? He had called off their engagement ages ago, and he
couldn’t understand why she wouldn’t leave him alone.
Charlie thought Wynter had meant it when she behaved indifferently
toward him at the manor.
However, the fact that she was here could only mean she was playing
hard to get.
“Wynter, you and I are over,” Charlie said as he gazed down at her imperiously. “You shouldn’t be here
at this ceremony. Leave before you force me to make a scene.”
Hearing this, Dom clenched his fists and made to stand up.
With one hand on Dom’s shoulder, Wynter kept the man in his seat. She shot Charlie an icy look. “I’m
starting to think if that brain of yours has atrophied, Charlie. Why do you always jump to the most
ridiculous conclusions?”
“Excuse me?” Charlie was furious, but he had to keep his voice down on account of the surrounding
media crew. “If you want to do this the
hard way, Wynter, then so be it!”
With that, he turned around and demanded, “Get security to kick her
out of here! She’ll do nothing but cause trouble at an event like this.”
“Kick who out?”
Just then, a group of cadres showed up, all of them in suits. The
person who had spoken was none other than Lucas, the man who
was going to restructure Southdale with an iron fist.
