The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 301

Chapter 301 Charlie’s Ignorance

Charlie had heard of Lucas’ appointment as Secretary-General and recognized him immediately. Beaming, he greeted the latter, “Good day, Mr. Keller!”

Lucas suppressed his rage as he looked at Charlie impassively, “And

you are?”

“Charlie Shepherd of the Shepherd family in Southdale. We’re rather

big in the medical industry,” Charlie introduced himself with a gleam.

in his eyes. “My father and I have met you before.”

Standing next to Lucas, Roland Lewis interjected, “Mr. Keller, the

Shepherds have provided the resources we needed to rescue those

abducted children-”

Lucas cut him off brusquely, “You know him?”

Roland blinked before answering, “Yes. The Shepherds run a

renowned social enterprise in Southdale. You might not know this, sir,

but they have the most advanced medical equipment and treatment

methods. They might be one of the best in the country.”

“Oh?” Lucas’ expression was inscrutable. “If my memory serves me well, the Shepherds and the Gibsons were close friends, yes?”

Everyone stiffened when they heard this, and the team that had been

trailing Lucas grew uneasy.

“Mr. Keller, our family-” Charlie began to explain nervously.

Lucas cut him off with a low chuckle. Although he sounded affable,

his words were pointed as he spoke. “The Shepherd family must be quite a force if their son could have our hero thrown out of the

premises with a simple order.”

Hero? Charlie wondered who it was. Disbelief filled his eyes when he realized that Lucas was talking about Wynter. How could a bumpkin

like her be the hero in question?

However, his jaw dropped as Lucas brushed past him and

approached Wynter. The Shepherds were too full of themselves to

see what Wynter had been getting up to since they bade her good

riddance at the manor.

That said, Charlie had caught wind of her popular livestreaming, but

he doubted she could go far as a streamer, famous or not. He likened

her to a peddler whose beauty was her only advantage and did not

bother to stay on top of her recent activities.
