Chapter 254
254 Found Elliot While Searching for Wynter
Derek was puzzled by Garfield’s sudden appearance since everything seemed to be under control.
Could he have come because of that
video?
As he speculated, Derek put on a smile to welcome Garfield. “Mr.
Wade, 1-
“Tell your men to disperse immediately! Now!” Garfield whispered urgently in Derek’s ear as soon as he
got out of the car.
Thinking it was just a show for Ryan in the car, Derek didn’t take him seriously. “Mr. Wade, I can handle
any video that’s unfavorable to our county. Why don’t we grab a drink at my place later? All of this will
blow over after a good night’s sleep.
Garfield was furious, his entire body tensing up. This damn idiot Derek! Now the whole nation knew
that he was involved too!
Ignoring Derek’s idiocy, Garfield quickly walked toward Wynter. “Don’t worry, miss. I’m here to help you.
Havenlight Country will ensure that justice is served.”
Shifting her gaze between Garfield and Derek, Wynter smirked. “Oh? But I don’t really trust you. You
two seem to know each other quite
well.”
Garfield’s face turned pale instantly. Suddenly, Ryan came from behind, pushing Garfield aside. Before
he could check up on Wynter, he was stunned by the sight of a familiar and striking face.
“Mr. Elliot!” Ryan exclaimed, bewildered. Unable to get a signal on his
phone on the way there, Ryan wasn’t aware that Elliot was also
present.
“You’re injured!” Ryan’s expression changed, and then he turned around and glared fiercely at Garfield.
“Havenlight County, huh! How dare you hurt Mr. Elliot and mess with the Quinnell family of
Kingbourne!”
Kingbourne? The Quinnell family! When Ryan approached Garfield to look for Ms. Quinnell, he was
cautious about revealing too much about his identity.
He simply mentioned that he served a family involved in business and provided a description of the
abducted girl.
The reason for Ryan’s discretion was rooted in the Quinnell family’s history of receiving false
information about Ms. Quinnell over the
years.
The most alarming incident occurred when the Quinnell family decided to support Naomi. At that time,
over 20 young girls from various parts of the country were brought to the Quinnell family for
DNA testing.
During this process, Albert Quinnell, the eldest grandson of Fabian Quinnell, discovered attempts at
falsification.
There were even instances where individuals attempted to substitute the girls, resulting in one of the
girls hearly losing her life.
Consequently, the Quinnell family became exceptionally cautious in
their search for Ms. Quinnell.
Even if someone resembled Ms. Quinnell, they would investigate their
childhood history rather than provide false hope to deter those seeking a reward.
Ryan was aware that Havenlight County was a complicated place. After all, he had been searching for
Ms. Quinnell there for many days.
Despite his intuition about the place, he hadn’t anticipated it to be so treacherous. Would Ms. Quinnell
be safe if she had come here?
Even Derek, as ignorant as he might be, had heard of the Quinnell family from Kingbourne.
In a panic, Derek’s head was buzzing as he looked at Garfield. “Mr. Wade, we didn’t lay a finger on
him! It was the villagers! They surrounded him when he tried to take a villager’s wife away.
1- ”
“Shut up!” Garfield slapped Derek across the face, his expression a mixture of fury and fear.
“Havenlight County is doomed because of
you!”
Already intimidated by Ryan’s connection with Jackson Munn,
Garfield now found himself confronted by a member of the Quinnell family from Kingbourne.
It was all over. Even seeking help from higher authorities would futile now. Garfield felt like he might as
well die there and then.
Meanwhile, Derek attempted to defuse the situation. “Mr. Wade, this
is all just a misunderstanding.”
