The man, puffing on his cigarette and engrossed in a game on his phone, chuckled, “Well, at least

Yvette didn’t deceive us. That girl truly is a beauty.”

“No matter what, we can’t afford any sl*p–ups tomorrow,” the woman said with a frown. ” Yvette didn’t

disclose how sharp she is. Look at the questions she asked me. They were all probing!”

This couple had been involved in human trafficking for many years, especially Fanny. She was a

master of deception. It was difficult for ordinary people to see through her unless they were

experienced detectives.

Unlike Fanny, Dickson Quirk wasn’t as skilled at deception. As a result, he kept his words minimal and

concentrated on transportation.

Reassuringly, he said, “You don’t have to worry about tomorrow. We’ll take the usual route. It’s only

right for us to meet our daughter, and no one will suspect a thing.

Fanny harbored resentment. “It’s all because of that family. They’re constantly watching us like hawks

and hindering our business. With so many children back then, who would’ve known which one

belonged to them?”

“Keep your voice down,” Dickson pulled her closer. “We are lucky that the village chief is suppressing

this matter. Otherwise, it would have been exposed. Don’t talk about it anymore and avoid them when

we go back”

The couple bickered with each other until midnig

The next day dawned, and before Margaret could even prepare breakfast, the couple arrived, bearing a

heap of food. Inside the house, Wynter wrote a note to Wolf. After reading it, Wolf nodded knowingly.

The couple waited outsidd. Wynter packed very few belongings, with only a single black bag slung over

her shoulder.

Atop her head sat a baseball cap, taming her waist–length hair, while her attire consisted of a black T–

shirt and trousers.

Adorning her fair wrist was a purple sugilite pendant that added an elegant touch to her overall

appearance.

As Wynter emerged, Fanny nudged Dickson, signaling him to swiftly approach and assist Wynter with

her bag.

“I can handle it myself,” Wynter smiled lightly. The couple didn’t argue over helping her with the bag.

Margaret couldn’t bear to part with Wynter. Even if it was just for a few days, she showered her with

endless reminders. Havenlight County had no access to high–speed trains, with not even a train station

available.

The only way to return was by taking a long–distance bus. The terrain was rugged, nestled amidst

mountains, and bordered by a river.

When they arrived at the bus terminal, Fanny clutched the ticket and explained, “Your father was

concerned that you wouldn’t be comfortable on a large bus, so he arranged for al

minivan.”

“A minivan?” Wynter raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Meanwhile, Dickson was already seated inside waving to them. “Over here, dear!”

While the exterior of the minivan looked worn out, the interior was surprisingly spacious. The back

seats were folded down to accommodate their luggage. Besides the driver, there were only three of

them.

Dickson was haggling with the driver over the fare. The five–hour mountain journey cost. 800 dollars,

with delivery to the village included.

Fanny chuckled softly. “I didn’t want you to feel uncomfortable. This way, we can stop anytime for you

to use the bathroom.” Indeed, Wynter couldn’t stand long rides on big

buses.

As a medical student, she possessed a keen sense of smell, and the rough terrain of the journey could

easily trigger headaches for her. Wynter simply grabbed her black bag and climbed into the minivan.

With w

Wynter already settled in the minivan, the couple exchanged a glance, feeling a sense of ease. Their

smiles grew wider as the minivan successfully left the city and merged onto the highway.

Fanny glanced at Wynter and handed her a bottle of mineral water. “Wynter, it’s a long journey. Have

some water.”

“No, thanks.” Wynter shifted her gaze from the window and smiled. “I’ll take a nap,” she said.

Fanny returned the smile warmly. “I’ll wake you up when we reach the rest stop.”

“Okay,” Wynter said, closing her eyes. At that moment, she seemed like an innocent young

girl who was untouched by the complexities of the world.

Fanny exchanged a glance with Dickson, and a hint of disdain flashed in their eyes. Despite looking

formidable, Wynter, like most students, was inexperienced and easily deceived.

In contrast, the couple were seasoned human traffickers.
