Chapter 1652 A Big Scheme
Reflecting on her thoughts, Wynter gazed at Judah from behind the one-way mirror.
It appeared the forces behind the Southdale incident stretched further than Kingbourne. Years of calculated scheming and ruthless oppression were fueled by more than just riches and power-they sought to secure a longer life as well.
In their pursuit of eternal youth, they had established a supply chain and eliminated anyone who dared to stand in their way. To them, others' lives were inconsequential.
Margaret had once been their target, and now they were after the Whitman family to seize control of the Chamber of Commerce. If they could merge the scholarship committee with the Chamber of Commerce, they could operate at a larger scale and draw less suspicion.
It was much like the hospital that fell under the Gibsons' authority. No one would expect the prestigious hospital to actually be a slaughterhouse.
The deeper Wynter delved, the clearer it became that an unseen hand had been orchestrating those events. As she pondered whether the locations involved had been infiltrated, her mind flashed back to the pandemic that Yvette had mentioned.
With a frown, Wynter decided to memorize all of Judah's contributions during his time in Southdale, including his earliest diagnosis of mid-stage cancer.
Back then, the higher-ups had taken pity on his condition and reassigned him to a different position. Surprisingly, Judah fully recovered when he returned for his next checkup.
He even asserted that he was in perfect health to serve as mayor, presenting a medical report that contrasted his previous condition.
As Wynter reviewed the records, she reached a conclusion -Judah had gone to great lengths to rise through the ranks. He had been certain that he would become the new head once Julius retired. However, he never anticipated an outsider to seize the position instead.
It became apparent that Judah hadn't undergone a blood transfusion to extend his life but to change his fortune. He was convinced that those blessed with extraordinary luck could bring him the fortune he sought.
While others might not see the connection, Wynter had different insights thanks to her innate knowledge of the Arcane Way.
After studying the missing scholarship students' personal details, she discovered several of their horoscopes were compatible with Judah's. In other words, those students were the premium goods emphasized during the auction. Wynter narrowed her eyes, knowing that she lacked crucial evidence. A surgery like Judah's typically wouldn't be found in official records, but Fredric might hold some answers.
It now dawned on Wynter why Fredric's career had progressed so smoothly. It turned out he was born in Riverfield, which was the very reason Judah chose to support him.
Upon reviewing Judah's career history, Wynter wisely ran a background check on Fredric. Hardly anyone knew that Fredric had changed his place of origin on official records. If Wynter hadn't dug deeper, that secret might have been buried forever.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
After all, no one would suspect Fredric of being a Hawford citizen. His thick accent and mannerisms showed no difference from that of a typical Hawfordian.
Even his longtime secretary was convinced that he was a local. It seemed like Fedric had put great effort into his disguise.
With that thought, Wynter rose from the seat. Just as she was about to head back inside, someone opened the door. "Boss, we've brought the man over for interrogation. Mr. Keller is here, too. He seems to have figured out your identity," the person reported.
Wynter replied languidly, "Lucas is probably aware by now. As for Mr. Monty, let him first identify his superior from behind the glass."
