Chapter 1679 Jackson's Mysterious Disciple
Hearing Wynter's words, Lucas wasn't the first to react but rather the two directors across the room.
"What's going on? How did you get in here?"
Of course, they recognized Wynter. After all, she had been making waves in Hawford lately. First, she acquired a plot of land with incalculable value, then made tens of billions in the stock market.
Although she was said to be assisting with investigations-allegedly infiltrating certain circles-they still regarded her as an outsider to their system or a businessperson at best.
And now, they were in the middle of discussing matters related to the entire education system. They couldn't believe her audacity to barge in like this.
"Security! Where's the security?'
"How can anyone just walk in here like this? Does she even belong here?"
Just as the two directors stood up and shouted, Lucas spoke with a gentle smile. "Wynter, you've already figured out a solution, haven't you?"
At that moment, everyone suddenly recalled a long-standing rumor-one that no one had ever taken seriously. It was said that Lucas might be the renowned Jackson Munn's disciple. Additionally, in recent years, Jackson had supposedly taken on a new student, rumored to be groomed directly for the military.novelbin
But no one had ever seen this so-called disciple. Jackson, a figure of immense contribution to the nation, commanded unparalleled respect in the military. Yet, no one could have imagined that Wynter could possibly be his rumored disciple.
They couldn't believe that Jackson's disciple was a young woman. Who would have thought?
Expressions of shock and disbelief were plastered across everyone's faces. Some even started to show signs of unease.
Jackson... How could they have forgotten? If Lucas was backed by Jackson, then...
"This... This really is... Mr. Keller, this Ms. Quinnell-is she, by any chance, connected to Mr. Munn Senior?" One of them finally summoned the courage to test the waters.
Lucas didn't deny it. 'Mr. Munn Senior has always been quite fond of Wynter. You've heard about her too, haven't you? Then, there's no need for an introduction. In Mr. Munn Senior's eyes, Wynter's capabilities are beyond question-sometimes even surpassing mine."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the individuals varied.

"W-We've only heard about it but never met her. Mis. Quinnell, we didn't mean anything by what we said earlier.'
"Exactly! Education is indeed a serious matter, and it's not suitable for too many people to get involved. But since you're Mr. Munn Senior's disciple, that's a different story. We trust Mr. Munn Senior's judgment, don't we?"
"Of course! Feel free to share with us if you have any suggestions. After all, you're the one who uncovered this case in the first place."
Wynter's gaze darkened as she observed their sudden change in attitude. 'Before I provide any suggestions, I have a few questions for all of you.
"First, why are some students allowed to transfer schools without taking entrance exams? Second, why have certain teachers been employed without any background checks? Third, why were reports about issues in the school cafeteria ignored?
"Finally-and most importantly-why were there numerous cases of parents reporting that they lost contact with their children after they went abroad? Parents even protested at the school, but no results were ever disclosed
"Who among you is going to answer these questions?"
The atmosphere in the room shifted instantly. Those who were pushing for Lucas to take action and make decisions moments ago were now completely silent. Large beads of sweat began to form on some of them. Wynter lifted her gaze and scanned through the room. 'Mr. Standford, I'm waiting for your answer.
