Chapter 1537 Cleo's Warning Noah's assumption wasn't wrong. Right after the Montclair family was put behind bars, someone hired a delivery man to send a small note to Wynter. Despite the note's size, the delivery fee was quite expensive.
The note contained only one sentence. "Stop investigating and return to Kingbourne immediately." To an outsider, this might seem like a threat. But Wynter, who understood human nature well, knew that a genuine threat wouldn't have been delivered this way.
Was this a gentle warning? Wynter looked at the note with amusement and asked the delivery man, "Is this all there is? Who gave it to you? Was it a man or a woman? Did they say anything else?" "Why? Is something wrong with it?" The delivery man quickly continued, "I picked up the item as instructed from a locker before bringing it to you. I don't know if it was a man or a woman, and I never had a call with them." Wynter gazed out the window and smiled with one hand in her pocket. "I see. Thanks." After receiving the note, the delivery man asked for a confirmation photo.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWynter's eyes settled on him, and suddenly, she remembered hearing about someone when she first arrived in Hawford-a man named Cleo Sinclair.
He was notorious for navigating both sides of the law, with connections in both the underworld and the legitimate world alike.
Wynter lowered her gaze, her lips curving slightly. "The warning is quite thoughtful, but I don't intend to run away at the first sign of danger." She smiled faintly as she opened the car door. On the contrary, she wanted to draw out as many of those trying to go after her. It would make her happier to catch them all in one sweep.
At that very moment, in an old apartment complex crowded with people, there was an elderly man who stood out from his surroundings. Holding a cup of tea, he sipped it in a way that made him seem like an old man from Kingbourne.
In fact, he was indeed a man from Kingbourne who had followed Gordon to Hawford many years ago. He started a business in Hawford and had never returned hsince.
"Mr. Sinclair, the item has been delivered," one of the people in the crowd suddenly whispered.
Cleo looked up, showing little emotion. "What did she say?" "She didn't say anything. She just crumpled the note and put it in her pocket." Cleo furrowed his brows upon hearing this. It was clear Wynter didn't take his warning seriously. She was truly bold. Cleo couldn't help but wonder if she knew just who she was provoking by causing such a stir in Hawford! Cleo felt a wave of irritation. He stood up with the help of his cane. "Go find out what charges they'll use to question her." "Mr. Sinclair, we're not sure yet. But I suspect it might have something to do with the stock market Ms. Quinnell manipulated a few days ago..." "The stock market... that's terrible!" It was rare for Cleo to declare something as terrible.
At this moment, the most relaxed person was Wynter herself. She hadn't paid much attention to the note. After all, she had been hoping for someone to make a move.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs of now, there were more important tasks awaiting her. The Special Unit, tasked with tailing Yvette, had stopped in their tracks.
The person Wynter anticipated hadn't shown up, and it seemed like Yvette had been abandoned. But the Winston family was definitely nearby! There were still a few questions Wynter needed to ask Yvette privately. Hence, Wynter didn't waste any more time.
Even if someone planned to make a move against her, it would likely be in the coming days. For now, Gep M priority was to find out what exactly Yvette, who seemed to know the future, remembered from her timeline.
Wynter had already pieced together a few things based on Yvette's behavior. For i For instance she had m predicted that Dalton would be in a car accident when she went to the Yarwood family. Was she now following the Winston family because she had seen their fate in a previous life?
Wynter knew Yvette too well. She wasn't the type to involve herself with people without any personal gain.
Hence, there was no doubt in Wynter's mind that Yvette had valuable information about the Winston family. X
