Chapter 297 WarningPeter clutched his phone tightly, his eyes wide with disbelief.

The person on the other line explained in hushed tones, “Dad, our syndicate at Havenlight County has been busted. A specialtask force was involved this time, and so were the Yarwoods. We have no

choice but to hit the kill switch before anyone traces it back to us.”“The Yarwoods?” Peter narrowed his eyes. “Why would they getinvolved in something like this?”

“Dad, do you think the Yarwoods are working together with theKellers?” the man on the other line asked.

Peter considered the possibility. “No,” he concluded. “The Yarwoodsare mavericks.”

“Lucas didn’t even stumble once during the operation. That adoptedwench from the Yates family is a pain in the ass!” the person on theother line said through gritted teeth. He seemed to hate Wynter with apassion.

Peter’s gaze darkened. “You mean that wench is involved in this too?”The man on the other line replied, “If it hadn’t been for her live-stream,the shenanigans that go on in Havenlight County would never have been exposed to the whole nation.

“The repercussions are too dangerous for our syndicate to continue to operate. Even Garfield was arrested!” He added quietly,“Garfield knows too much. I’m worried he might crack under pressure and rat

us out.”

Peter set his cigar down and snapped, “Find a way to tell him to keephis m*uth shut if he wants his wife, daughter, and 80-year-old motherto continue living happily in Kingbourne.”

“Yes, Dad.”

Ashadow passed over Peter’s face as he asked, “So, what did youfind out about that wench?”

“She was kidnapped and brought to Paradise Village ten years ago,along with the other runts. | don’t know who her parents are,” lan explained. “After some digging, | reckoned her folks are poorbumpkins.

“Her identity aside, she’s a famous live-streamer, so it'll be tough totake her down.”

Peter demanded hoarsely, “Tough? Give her a warning, then! You’re inSouthdale now, and I’m sure she'll think twice about crossing youafter learning who you are.

“Some things just cannot be compromised on. She'll stay out of ourway if she’s smart.”

“You're right. The City Bureau will be awarding her for her braverytomorrow,” lan said, his voice barely above a whisper. “I'll let her knowwe mean business by then.”

“She and her grandmother are the same,” Peter hissed venomously.“They are a pair of ignorant fools,” lan agreed. “Don’t worry, Dad. It'llbe easy to make her disappear this time.”

Peter pinched the space between his brows and said tiredly, “Hold

your horses. You don’t always have to be so extreme. Giving these peasants a chance might eventually work out for us. Now, goand make the arrangements like Timothy asked.”

“The Shepherds have already chosen from their lot and will be sending them over to Kingbourne soon, but those aren’t enough.We'll have to look for more,” lan explained.

A rush of anger seized him. “If that

wench hadn't sey ieseinvenlightc sou, ed have enough

numbers for the arrangement.” The

Peter wasn’t bothered. “The Shepherds will know what to do. They hold stakes in hospitals outside of Southdale, too.”“| understand,” lan replied, grinning deviously.

As if having grown weary of the conversation, Peter said dismissively,novelbin

“Go. Don’t dawdle any longer.”

“Yes, Dad.”

Meanwhile, over at Empathy Clinic, the guests had gathered around

the stove, steeping tea.

Dalton watched as Wynter dropped a few curls of orange rind into the

teapot, which added a citrusy fragrance to the tea.

Next to Fabian, Ryan pointed out gently, “Mr. Quinnell, it'll bedangerous for us to drive after nightfall. Shall we leave now?”He still had plenty of things to take care of in Kingbourne.
