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



Chapter 1769 To Save or Not to Save

The atmosphere in Monway University's conference room seemed to have frozen for a moment.

The school administrators genuinely didn't want a suicide case in the university. Historically, such incidents were either covered up or, if exposed, handled in ways that ensured they wouldn't implicate internal programs like financial aid or sponsorships. Essentially, regardless of what happened, the university's image remained intact. Thus, when faced with investigations, their usual approach was to focus on minimizing public scrutiny, not on uncovering the underlying truth.

But now, Wynter's sudden self-introduction shattered their complacency. Jarred, who had been leisurely sipping tea from his thermos, abruptly froze, his hand halting mid-air.

The room was filled with seasoned professors and senior administrators, none of whom had ever paid much attention to financial aid distribution.

As Wynter pointed out, these leaders-many of whom had never experienced economic hardship-couldn't grasp the significance of financial aid to those who truly needed it.

The phrase "detached from the struggles of the common people" might as well have been stamped across their foreheads.

This included Kaysen, who, despite coming from a reasonably well-off family, had leveraged his "high emotional intelligence" to secure financial aid.

Wynter's approach was blunt-if some people were too coddled, then it was time to cut off their lifeline.

The administrators' expressions visibly changed. Among them, Jarred looked the most unsettled, his complexion turning pale. Most of them thought that Eric was still the Chamber of Commerce's chairman, and they all turned to Jarred for answers.

Being closely connected to the Chamber of Commerce, Jarred was more informed than most. He'd heard rumors that Eric had encountered some legal troubles, resulting in his removal from office.

However, the news had just broken, and with the recent campus suicide, he hadn't had time to verify it. But he did know one thing for certain-anyone capable of removing Eric and claiming the chairman role for themselves was not to be trifled with.

His inquiries into the matter had revealed that the new president was none other than the young head of the Quinnell family from Kingbourne. Moreover, the prominent business leaders within the chamber were now addressing Wynter with the utmost respect, addressing her as Ms. Quinnell.
