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 ideahow to clear his name.
Shaking with fear at the sight of the small military aircraft and SUVs surrounding them, the elderlyvillagers 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’thave orchestrated such a massive
operation.
The idea of the Macintoshes almost coercing the girlfriend of such a powerful figure into marrying intotheir family was unthinkable!
Even the elderly villagers trembled at the mere thought. With their expressions tinged with regret, theMacintoshes felt the weight of their actions-particularly Cheryl.
As Cheryl watched Derek being taken away by the operatives, her mind raced. She hadunderestimated 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 theheiress of a wealthy family in
Kingbourne.
оп
Fanny described Wynter as just a foolish student, more focused her online part-time gigs than her pooracademic 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 botheredto investigate Wynter’s background thoroughly, perhaps the Macintosh family wouldn’t be in such direstraits now.
Everything was ruined! The Macintosh family’s decade-long prestige was all gone now! Everyone onthe 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 ofimprisonment 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 gazefocused 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 hisentanglement 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 titleof ‘kind-hearted matchmaker’ title, which you bestowed upon them.”
Garfield’s legs weakened, nearly giving away beneath him. Realizing the gravity of the situation, heknew 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’tlocated the person you’re looking for, have you? If I approach the Quirks on your behalf, they’ll surelyprovide 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 hisgaze. “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 offmy uniform and personally send
you to hell.”
Garfield shuddered, speaking cautiously, “Mr. Quinnell, I swear on my family’s honor that the personyou’re seeking is among the girls the Quirks trafficked. Only they know who and where the girl is now.”
