Chapter 301 Charlie’s Ignorance


    Charlie had heard of Lucas’ appointment as Secretary-General and recognized him immediately.


    Beaming, he greeted thetter, “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, Rnd 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?”


    Rnd 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 exin 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 popr 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.


    As such, he gaped helplessly at the older, influential men around him,


    hoping they could enlighten him about the situation at hand.


    Some of these men had close ties to the Shepherd family, and even they had broken out in cold sweat.


    One of them sensed that something was amiss and quickly feigned anger. “What’s wrong with the


    Shepherds? Charlie has no right to kick anyone out of this event!”


    Lucas paid no attention to these men and their swaying loyalties. He merely came to a stop before


    Wynter and offered her a handshake.

    He said in a strong and clear voice, “Dr. Genius, allow me to thank you on behalf of the women and


    children who were rescued.”

    “You’re too kind, Mr. Keller.” Wynter gave him a courteous smile, her posture straight and elegant. “The


    operation wouldn’t have been a sess without your leadership and excellent decision-making.”


    At this point, everyone at the event had craned their necks to behold this scene. Charlie, in particr,


    was so stumped that his expression


    wasically ck.


    Lucas, the Secretary-General himself, had gone up to shake the hand of a youngdy in front of all the


    cameras. As if this weren’t shocking enough, his words of gratitude to the youngdy had everyone in

    The audience began exchanging looks and forgot all about the


    Shepherds.

    “Dr. Genius? She’s the one who went to Paradise


    her life getting evidence for the police!” someone cried.


    “I watched the entire thing on livestream! Everyone, that’s the person we should be thanking for saving


    our children!” another eximed


    “The case would never have been cracked without her!”


    At once, the parents of the abduction victims all rose to their feet. They weren’t so foolish as to not


    recognize the true hero of the day.


    Lucas shot an icy look in Charlie’s direction. “Seems like someone is eager to steal the thunder. I


    suppose I should look into the medical industry to see if there’s anything amiss.”


    “Mr. Keller, there’s been a misunderstanding!” Nelson, who had


    hurried over to the scene, exined anxiously.

    A Secretary-General worth his weight in gold would know that something was wrong here. Lucas


    snorted. “A misunderstanding? The young Mr. Shepherd here wanted to have our hero thrown out by


    security, and you want to pass that off as a misunderstanding?


    He looked around and said authoritatively, “Is there anyone here who hasn’t seen or doesn’t know the


    hero of this operation? If so, leave at
