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

Chapter 1724

Chapter 1724 Wynter's Purpose

"Nigel is the deputy director of your hospital's Infectious Diseases Department, right?"

Wynter's question hit Jay like a thunderclap. After all, he had just forced Nigel out of the hospital after a heated meeting. The fact that Wynter brought Nigel up made Jay realize the situation was spiraling out of control.

Before he could respond, Wynter continued, "Nigel has already told me everything."

Wynter's sharp gaze swept across the room as she addressed everyone. "Hospitals are places for saving lives. You, as this institution's head, choose not to solve the issue but to get rid of a good doctor who raised valid concerns.

"When a disease arises, you try to bury it instead of confronting it. Do I need to remind you of your duties? Do you still deserve to be called medical professionals?"

Her words left the room in stunned silence. Not a single person dared to make a sound.

"If this matter is properly handled, you may avoid consequences. But if the pandemic spirals out of control, the price you pay will not be as simple as legal repercussions," Wynter warned.

Jay, who was still attempting to have the last say, retorted, "The decision to have Nigel take a break wasn't solely mine. It was a directive from higher-ups. Besides, I think Nigel might have exaggerated the situation's severity. The disease isn't that critical."

Wynter turned to look at him. "So, by your logic, is it not critical until it spreads across the entire country? Excellent logic. Just excellent."

Then, looking out the door, she raised her voice. "Bring Nigel in here."

Panic flickered across Jay's face the moment he heard Nigel's name. After all, he knew too much. If he decided to reveal the truth, the entire Colifernia would be thrown into chaos.

The door opened, and Nigel entered, wearing a face mask.

Despite the mask, Jay immediately recognized him. Forcing a smile, he said, "Nigel, didn't I tell you to rest at home for a few days? Why are you back?"

Then, he quickly walked over to Nigel, leaning in and whispering into his ear, "Are you trying to get us all killed?"

Nigel's calm demeanor didn't waver as he quietly replied, "I am merely doing what a doctor should do. Mr. Ellis, I suggest you reflect on your actions."

Wynter gestured for Nigel to come forward. "Dr. Alistair, recount everything you know and have experienced, down to the smallest detail. Don't leave out a single thing."

Nigel began to speak, retelling every detail he had shared with Wynter at the café. Not a single word was omitted. As the story unfolded, Jay's expression darkened, his gaze fixed on

Nigel as if he wanted to destroy him.

When Nigel finished, Wynter looked at Jay with an impassive expression. "Mr. Ellis, do I really need to spell out the consequences of withholding such critical information?

"You act as if it's nothing when the situation is already this dire, all while delivering hollow platitudes. How do you expect anyone to trust a hospital with how you're acting? Playing bureaucratic games... Do you take me as a fool?"

Jay was still desperate to defend himself. "But we haven't even confirmed the pathogen yet! Making hasty announcements will only cause unnecessary panic. And as for a regional lockdown, the higher-ups wouldn't approve of it!"

"Oh? Higher-ups? Which ones are you referring to?" Wynter asked, her tone cool and detached.

Jay immediately pulled out the Deputy Minister's name, confident in his ability to leverage authority, hoping to crush any resistance from Wynter. "You've probably met Mr. Killis from the Epidemic Prevention Department before you came."

"I haven't met him yet. But from the sound of it, I think it's time I did."

Without hesitation, she pulled out her phone and made a call. "Bring me Mr. Killis from the Epidemic Prevention Department."

"Understood," came the crisp response from the other end.

The entire room exchanged uneasy glances, and Jay's confidence wavered.

Wynter smirked faintly and sat down at the center of the conference table, flipping through the stack of documents.

The silence in the room was deafening, and some attendees could be seen nervously wiping sweat from their foreheads. But, they wondered if she really could summon Zayn Killis with just one phone call.

Just as everyone was questioning what was happening, the door opened.

The people who entered were not dressed in the standard disciplinary inspection uniforms but wore black outer jackets with tactical combat gear underneath. This wasn't just a routine investigation this was military enforcement.

The so-called Deputy Minister, Zayn, was dragged in with a gun pressed against his back, his legs long given out.

Wynter, never one to waste words, waited for the door to close before placing a stack of documents into Zayn's trembling hands. "Mr. Killis, I've heard so much about you.

"Not at all, I... I..." Zayn stammered, his legs trembling violently.

Wynter continued calmly, "It wasn't easy to catch you. I understand you were already arranging for your daughter to study abroad last month.
