Chapte 2074 Buried in the Lake

Chapter 2074

After the successful fundraiser, the anti–bandit alliance convoy continued its

journey toward Riverhaven. The trip passed uneventfully, and once the

supplies reached Riverhaven, they temporarily relieved the immediate crisis.

However, Mackenzie’s troubles were far from over.

“Ms. Quillen, there are still six days left until your ten–day deadline. How are

you planning to recover our missing supplies?”

“Yeah, maybe you should just reimburse us directly. Aren’t you loaded

anyway?”

A group of West End bigwigs crowded around Mackenzie, hands

outstretched, demanding answers.

Mackenzie couldn’t be bothered to engage with them. Instead, Quintus

appeared, dragging along Anthony, who wore his usual mournful expression.

The same Anthony who’d been all smiles back in Vinehurst was now back to

is usual mopey self, wailing, “Ms. Quillen, even though the supplies we

gathered in Vinehurst managed to handle the immediate crisis, people and

the media are still harping on about the lost supplies. They’re even saying if

those supplies had reached Riverhaven, it might’ve been enough to

completely handle the disaster!”

“Enough! Stop making such a racket. We still have time left on the ten–day

deadline, so don’t show up here every day to hassle me!” Mackenzie wasn’t

exactly the pushover type; she flashed the cold, authoritative side of her

executive persona and had Quintus quickly escort the troublemakers out of

her sight.

While Mackenzie was still stewing over the matter, Lexi approached her and

reported, “Ms. Quillen, I’ve got news from Anna. She said they’ve spotted

some suspicious clues and sent over photos and videos.”

“Let me see them!” Mackenzie had a hunch that the bandits wouldn’t have

anticipated the blockade, so they probably hadn’t covered their tracks

perfectly. Somewhere, they must’ve left a clue that would lead them to the

hidden cache.

“Ms. Quillen, these photos show tire tracks in the snow in front of the lake that

seem recent, though they’ve been partially buried by rocks and snowfall,” Lexi

explained. “But that’s the only spot with tracks; there are none in the

surrounding area! They suspect the supply trucks may have passed by the
