Chapter 314 Pulling Strings


    Wynter wrapped her arms around Zach in a gentle embrace. “Don’t


    worry about me. Keep an eye on that waist and don’t go spraining it.”


    Zach, who normally wielded a fiery temper, now returned Wynter’s embrace like a child bidding


    goodbye to a yground friend.


    “You can always go to the Kellers if you run into trouble. I’m sure they


    won’t mind helping out Jackson’s favorite disciple, to say nothing of


    the favor you did for them,” he said. “Without you, Lucas wouldn’t


    have made any headway in Southdale.


    “Remember, you’ll always have a ce here in Harmony Community. I


    don’t care who your parents are, but if they ever make you upset, just


    know we won’t stand for it.”


    “Mr. Zurich is right. We’ll march into Kingbourne if we have to,” an


    elderly gentleman piped up. He added a little hesitantly, “Nothing can


    scare us.”


    Zach red at him. “Oh, quiet you. You were the reason Wynter was

    wrongfully brought into custody.”


    “I… I…” the gentleman stammered.


    Wynterughed. “It’s not Mr. Gustavo’s fault. Some people are just


    good at hiding their true colors.”


    “Not his fault? Bah! He just wanted to relive his glory days and have a


    say in everything. If this were the past, he’d have been tried for abuse


    of power!” Zach snapped.

    He glowered at Pierre Gustavo, the elderly gentleman from earlier, and demanded, “Do you admit that


    you were in the wrong?”


    Pierre said immediately, “Yes, sir!”


    He then turned to Wynter and exined, “Mr. Zurich is right. If you hadn’t uncovered the crimes in


    Paradise Vige, that rascal would


    have continued wreaking havoc in Southdale and im to be associated with me! I shouldn’t have said


    anything to him.”


    They were talking about the time Wynter had been ambushed during


    her livestream and wrongfully arrested.


    The rascal in question was none other than Jerome. If he had been


    allowed to continue in his corrupted ways, Pierre’s name would be dragged through the mud as well.


    It would be unfortunate if someone as patriotic as Pierre had to lose his reputation because of this.


    Just thinking about what might have happened made Pierre’s chest tighten. There were a few elderly


    folks in themunity who no longer wanted to y chess with him despite their years of friendship.


    Not that he could me them. Jerome was his mentee, and the very


    same mentee allowed Wynter to be wrongfully arrested and interrogated to protect a bunch of


    criminals.


    Pierre was eager to make amends. “Wynter, if you don’t feel like


    asking the Kellers for help, you can always reach out to my


    connections there. I’ve given them a heads-up, and they’re prepared to help you at a moment’s notice.”


    “Thank you, Mr. Gustavo,” Wynter said gratefully, smiling. She knew


    Chapter 314 Pulling String-


    Pierre must have had quite a formidable history if he had connections


    and any sort of power in Kingbourne


    Pierre grinned at her affably.


    Zach turned to Wynter and reminded sternly, “Don’t fall behind on your


    studies, Wynter. My former students in Kingbourne will lend you a


    helping hand whenever you need it. Since you’re much younger than


    them, I doubt they’d turn you down if you ask for help.”


    “All right, Mr. Zurich.”


    Wynter could tell just how much the elderly folk around her cared for her. They wanted to make sure


    she had someone to turn to for help. while in Kingbourne. Hence, they pulled strings here and there for


    her


    sake.


    There was warmth in Wynter’s eyes as she reached her arms around


    Zach once more.


    He couldn’t help the tears that pricked his eyes. “Go. Be brave and hold your head up high. You’ve got


    family here rooting for you.”


    Most of the folks in Harmony Community did not have children of their own, and they had long ago


    seen Wynter as their child.


    Dom had been bright enough to recognize Wynter’s potential from the


    moment he got to know her.


    The leaders of Harmony Community all had impressive track records, and if they favored Wynter so


    much, then Dom shuddered to think of the path to glory they had paved for her.


    If he were being honest, he was extremely envious.

    Wynter hadn’t even arrived in Kingbourne yet, and already the influential parties there had been alerted


    to take good care of her, courtesy of Harmony Community’s string-pulling.
