NovelEnglishChapter 304 lan's Warning There was a microphone pinned to Yarra's collar, so whatever she said to Wynter was broadcast to the entire hall.
Everyone in the audience who heard this couldn't help but tear up at Yarra's words, especially the victims parents.
Wynter was not accustomed to such an open show of kindness and gratitude, so she patted Yarra's shoulder and encouraged softly, "I wish you all the best. You can always reach out toif you need any help in the future." Only those who had yet to be reunited with their abducted children, understood the significance of this successful operation.
Despite their young age and their masked faces, Wynter and Yarra were a symbol of hope as they stood in the center of the hall. They made the people believe that their lost children would one day return.

It went without saying that the human traffickers received brutal punishments. No one dared to cto their defense now that the discourse surrounding their crimes was spreading like wildfire.
The public was satisfied to learn that the traffickers had gotten what they deserved.
The ceremony wrapped up with the presentation of awards. This time, the three people who went up on stage were counselors. Among them was lan.
Wynter didn't think much of this at first, given that the segment would be recorded.
However, as the spotlight fell on her, the man presenting her the award whispered to her, "You've got guts, young lady, but you'll be smart to stay in your lane from now on. You're better off not poking your nose in dangerous business." The man who whispered this warning in her ear straightened up after that. He was bespectacled and wearing a suit, looking every bit the affable counselor.
He flashed her a polite smile as he said, "Careful now, this trophy's a little heavy." He was friendly enough on camera, but Wynter still raised her brow at him. She would be a fool to not recognize the threat in his sugarcoated statement.
It seemed the Havenlight County incident had not exposed every connected person. This man was probably one of those who had gotten away in time.
Wynter took the trophy and smiled slowly like she had found her new prey. "How shall I address you?" lan hadn't anticipated this. He was surprised that she even dared to ask at all, especially when most leaders in Southdale tread around him carefully. It seemed that the claims that the young lady Margaret raised had nerves of steel had smerit after all.
Roland was the first to admonish Wynter, hoping that her question could be passed off as a show of youthful ignorance. "Don't you know it's rude to ask questions like that, young lady?" Lucas had made a point of showing his favor for Wynter. It was also no secret that the Kellers and the Scotts did not get along well.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRoland had yet to decide whose side he was on. Until then, his priority was to keep the two families from butting heads.
Wynter drawled nonchalantly, "I should at least know the nof the person presentingthe award." "You can callMr. Scott,” lan said, emphasizing his last name. “Mr. Lewis, go easy on our hero. She's allowed to askthat question, if only so she could put a nto a face." lan's smile did not reach his eyes.
Wynter would not sit by and do nothing now that he had threatened her. She clutched her trophy and pointed out coolly, "I wonder if you know, Mr. Scott, that any advice would be lost on young people like us because we like to march to the beat of our own drums."
lan clenched his fists upon hearing 't her words. If it weren't for the m cameras, he would have taught En Wynter a lesson for condescending him this way.
Given that this was a public event, he restrained himself for the sake of his image and guffawed good-naturedly instead. "Well said, young lady! I hope you can keep up that unbreakable spirit of yours." "Young people these days are something else, huh?" Roland tried to
smooth things over. "I'm sure she will learn invaluable life lessons along the way."
Wynter didn't bother with these two men as she left the stage. lan on the other hand had gotten down from En the stage as well. He was fuming at the disrespect Wynter had shown him, and he vowed to teach her a lesson.
