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

Chapter 1731

Chapter 1731 Start of a New Plan

Everyone's eyes shifted to the sketch on the table, their faces filled with disbelief.

"This... Isn't this Mr. Winston Senior?"

"But isn't Mr. Winston Senior dead?"

One of them turned to Layla and asked, "Are you certain the cultivator you saw looks exactly like the person in this sketch?"

Layla could sense the tension in the room. She took the sketch and studied it carefully. "Yes, that's him! This is the cultivator I saw."

Standing beside Wynter, Lucas couldn't hide his confusion. "Wynter, hasn't he already passed away? How could the person she saw be him?"

"Seeing is not always believing, and hearing is not always the truth," Wynter replied before looking at everyone's visible confusion.

However, Wynter had already deduced the truth. She knew the figure wasn't truly Clyde-it was someone who had taken over his body.

The discussion brought clarity to one thing for Wynter-this intricate plot had been set in motion years ago. If this mysterious cultivator was one of the key players, then the enigmatic "Mr. Lofstedt " undoubtedly held significant knowledge about the conspiracy as well.

Wynter knew it was time to finally confront him.

As the lockdowns were lifted, the restrictions on the farmers' market were also removed. The people who had been confined there, having taken the medication, were now visibly recovering.

Just then, a ray of sunlight streamed through the door to the farmers' market, signaling the end of the lockdown.

"Everyone, look! The lockdown on our market has been lifted!"

"We've been stuck here for so long, unable to go anywhere. We can finally leave!"

"Today calls for a celebration! It's time to treat ourselves to something special!"

The farmers' market had been one of the first places to be sealed off after Wynter detected suspicious activity.

Back then, the decision to quarantine the market had been met with anger, as this was where they had their businesses. For many, the market was their sole source of income.

Just then, a representative from the Industry and Commerce Bureau walked in, holding a

stack of documents.

"Everyone, please gather around. Your cooperation was crucial in containing the outbreak. However, starting today, the buying and selling of wild animals in this market is strictly prohibited."

Instantly, a wave of protests erupted.

"How are we supposed to make a living if we can't sell wild animals?"

"I feed my family by selling wild animals!"

The representative raised his hand to calm the crowd. "This is a directive from the top. Wild animals often carry viruses we don't fully understand. We must ban their trade!"

Oscar fell silent. He had stopped being plagued with sleepless nights ever since Wynter warned him against selling wild animals.

Standing beside the representative was a well-dressed man who then stepped forward and addressed the crowd.

"I am the Quinnell Group's representative. This epidemic has proven that wild animals are carriers of unpredictable viruses. We understand that everyone here is just trying to make a living.

"The Quinnell Group has decided to step in not for profit, but for necessary reform. If it weren't for the antiviral medication's timely arrival, many of you might have lost loved ones to this epidemic.

"Furthermore, under the Quinnell Group's guidance, we guarantee you will earn more than before. And you won't have to worry about the dangers that come with trading wild animals.
