The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call

Chapter 1592 The Ones in Danger

Eliana nodded from the other end of the line. "Okay. I'll listen to you, Ms. Wynter!"

After their conversation, Eliana quickly sent a message to Kurt, following Wynter's instructions.

Moments later, she received a reply stating that transportation had been arranged and that they knew where her home was. The message instructed her not to come to school the next day, as someone would come to pick her up directly from home.

A chill ran down Eliana's spine as she read those words. It was clear that these people had infiltrated every aspect of her life. They were not just at school but had even surveilled her home.

She didn't linger school any longer. As she passed through the school gate, she overheard students discussing the issue with the cafeteria. It seemed that officials had arrived to investigate, and the school could no longer conceal this issue.

Every student was aware of the problems in the cafeteria, and while they had reported them, there was little they could do.

The results of past inspections had always turned out well. Whenever officials came to check, the food quality would improve dramatically, only to revert to its poor state once they left. The students had grown accustomed to this cycle.

This was the same for Eliana. However, her pressing thought now was to return home as soon as possible to check on her grandparents. She feared that these people might threaten their safety.

On her way home, she kept a keen eye on her surroundings. Until today, she had been unaware of any dangers lurking nearby. But after heeding Wynter's advice, she began to

notice the anomalies around her.

It seemed the threat had been present for a long time. It was just that their surveillance system was so sophisticated that they hadn't dared to act impulsively. Instead, they chose to use her willingness against her.

As she walked, Eliana found herself wondering how Wynter planned to confront these people. They were after more than just her-there was also Penelope, who had been taken.

Eliana had no idea that the people who came to inspect the school were genuinely concerned about the students' well-being. As a result, she missed the chance to cross paths with Lucas and his team.

Had Lucas encountered a student as visibly anxious as Eliana, he would have certainly asked more questions. This might have led Fredric to suspect that the scholarship committee had already drawn attention from higher authorities.

Ironically, Eliana's absence made it easier for Wynter's plan to unfold without interference.

The fact that Wynter wasn't imprisoned was only known to Eliana and Lucas. Whether in matters of business or personal affairs, Wynter made sure to keep Lucas informed of her every move.

Lucas was in the middle of listening to Samuel's proposal for managing the situation when he received her latest update.

Since a thorough investigation was underway, everything from the quality of the students' food to their living conditions, teaching standards, and even the students' recent psychological health would be examined.

The public exposure of the cafeteria scandal had caused significant upheaval, and no parent could tolerate what they saw. News spread quickly, and Midcrest High School found itself unable to escape the mounting scrutiny.

After the meeting, the first thing Lucas did was check his phone. His eyes lit up as he read the message.

Meanwhile, Fredric was hoping to establish a rapport with him. He maneuvered through the crowd and approached Lucas. "Mr. Keller, it's already quite late, and the meeting just finished.

"You've been busy non-stop since you arrived without even having a proper meal. How about I host you for a simple meal at a restaurant right across from the school?"

Fredirc spoke as he subtly observed Lucas' expression before asking, "Are there good news?"

He couldn't help but wonder if there was another clue.

Lucas met his gaze and smiled faintly. "There is indeed good news. It's a personal matter. My sister might be getting married."
