The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Chapter 242: Chapter 242: Why Choose Nathalie Quinlan_1

He originally thought that the bag from sevne contained something like a small bracelet or necklace from the seven brand.

At most, it would have a slightly larger carat.

But who would have thought the bag contained property deeds!

Property deeds were one thing, but they were for houses in Beijing! Within the first ring road, three sets! What did that even mean? Combined, those three properties were worth at least nine figures.

What exactly was Nathalie’s relationship with the Pinecone Group?

Even if someone had a good relationship, they wouldn’t give such gifts, right?

...

Meanwhile, Jeff Quinlan and Ghania Quinlan were still standing not far from Silvania Ingram’s car, their feet as if nailed to the ground, unable to move for a long time.

Although they were a distance away, they still saw Silvania Ingram hand over that ’gift’ to Nathalie Quinlan.

Nathalie took out three red property booklets from it.

They looked like property deeds.

But they were too far away to see clearly. Nathalie quickly put the items back into the bag before they could get a good look.

”Dad, how does Mrs. Ingram know Nathalie?” Ghania Quinlan’s throat burned as if on fire, making it difficult for her to speak.

Just now, in front of so many people, even with reporters present, Silvania Ingram directly said she wasn’t suitable to wear anything from seven, which was undoubtedly a slap in the face, leaving Ghania seeing stars and still feeling dizzy.

The Iridescent necklace she had been so proud of suddenly felt hot around her neck.

It would be hard to take it off unwillingly.

But keeping it on would always remind people of the unpleasant things Mrs. Ingram had just said.

Ghania Quinlan had never been so embarrassed. She almost pierced her fingertips with her nails as she spoke to Jeff Quinlan with a skeptical tone, ”Dad, did you forget to send Mrs. Ingram an invitation?”

Jeff Quinlan wasn’t feeling any better than she was. Ghania had been embarrassed, and as her father, he’d felt disgraced too. Hearing her skepticism, his face darkened, and he said with a black expression, ”I did!”

”Then why would Mrs. Ingram go to Nathalie?”

”You’re asking me, but whom should I ask?”

How would he know why Silvania Ingram would choose Nathalie, he had seen Nathalie coming out of the Pinecone Group once before, but he hadn’t thought their relationship was so close that Silvania Ingram had come for Nathalie. He had personally delivered an invitation letter to the Pinecone Group before. Wasn’t this a slap in the face?

A fire raged in Jeff Quinlan’s heart, and he couldn’t help but say, ”I told you before that Nathalie might know Mr. Ingram, but you and your mother both said I was overthinking it, that she couldn’t possibly know Mr. Ingram. Well, isn’t this knowing?”

”How can you blame me? I didn’t think it would turn out this way either.” Ghania Quinlan felt aggrieved, ”Our family has always had a good relationship with the Pinecone Group, no matter what, Mrs. Ingram wouldn’t choose Nathalie over us...”

This was precisely what irritated Jeff Quinlan the most.

He couldn’t understand how Nathalie could have become so close to Silvania Ingram.

He angrily speculated, ”Maybe it has something to do with her father. Her dad teaches in Beijing and is a professor at Tsinghua University. Mr. Ingram is also from Beijing, maybe they know each other.”

Is that it?

After pondering for a moment, Ghania Quinlan felt that this was highly likely.

She didn’t believe for a second that Nathalie could know someone like Silvania Ingram on her own.

”...But now that Mrs. Ingram has gone over to her side, what are we going to do?” She bit her lip, still feeling upset.

She had originally thought that today she could completely humble Nathalie, thoroughly trampling her underfoot.
