The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Chapter 542: Chapter 542: Leveling Up in the Blink of an Eye_1

He flicked his cigarette ash as if asking casually.

Alfred Garland immediately smiled and said, ”She has returned, she personally led people to the provincial hospital and brought Jecksen Wilmar back. That Ivy Wilmar from the Wilmar family even argued with him, making phone calls to Beijing and to Juan Wilmar right in front of him. Tsk, useless! The thing that Ms. Quinlan gave us, if we really counted it up, it would cost Jecksen Wilmar his life and that would be putting it lightly. She still doesn’t understand the situation, thinking she can protect that spoiled rich kid, posturing in front of Simon Cadwell, oblivious to the fact that Simon Cadwell has your support behind him...”

The matter with Jecksen Wilmar wasn’t a big deal but wasn’t trivial either. If that Freddy Cagwin didn’t know Ms. Quinlan, then perhaps the Wilmar family would have had the final say, and Freddy Cagwin could only accept his bad luck.

But unfortunately for Jecksen Wilmar, Freddy Cagwin did know Ms. Quinlan and was on good terms with her. With this relationship in place, how could Amadeus just sit by and do nothing?

Not to mention Juan Wilmar and Ivy Wilmar, those two fools full of themselves, even pulled off the stunt of canceling Ms. Quinlan’s school registration. With Amadeus’s protective nature, it would be strange if he let Jecksen Wilmar off.

Alfred Garland surely felt more concern for Nathalie Quinlan in this matter, gleefully saying, ”I heard that Jecksen Wilmar got three of his ribs broken by Ms. Quinlan. Now falling into Simon Cadwell’s hands, those broken ribs won’t heal in three to five months, I’m afraid.”

Speaking of Simon Cadwell, he said emotionally, ”Speaking of which, Simon Cadwell is quite perceptive. He doesn’t hold a high position, but he sure knows how to handle affairs. Before we had time to return to Beijing, I heard it was him protecting Ms. Quinlan, firmly preventing Juan Wilmar and Ivy Wilmar from succeeding.”

That Ivy Wilmar, malicious at heart, even wanted to take Jecksen Wilmar to the provincial hospital to find connections and get a false injury assessment to have Ms. Quinlan imprisoned.

If she hadn’t pulled these stunts, maybe Jecksen Wilmar wouldn’t be as miserable as he is now. Because she stirred up so much trouble, now Amadeus isn’t even willing to let Jecksen Wilmar lie in the hospital to recover.

If Amadeus was unwilling to see something happen, what could Jecksen Wilmar do?

With three broken ribs, he was still carried on a stretcher by Simon Cadwell’s men back to the police station for interrogation.

All he wanted to say was, why bother!

”The investigation results for Hendra Wafford are coming out soon, seems like he’s being demoted...” Amadeus Yancey lifted his eyelids, his pale fingertips flicking the cigarette butt, the burning ashes falling in a shower with his motion.

His speech was slow, seemingly uninterested and languidly leaning there, too lazy to even lift his eyelids, ”Simon Cadwell did a good job this time, just right to take Hendra Wafford’s place.”

It took Alfred Garland a while to remember who Hendra Wafford was.

He said with a grin, ”Alright, I’ll let him know later. He’ll definitely be overjoyed when he hears about this.”

He wasn’t exaggerating. In the workplace, it might seem like one is only climbing a small step, but for many people like Simon Cadwell, even a lifetime of striving might not achieve that small step.

This time, Simon Cadwell moved up a level in the blink of an eye.

And it wasn’t just moving up a level that mattered, what was important was that he caught Amadeus’s eye.

How many people were lining up, hoping to catch the eye of this man, but never had the chance. Yet Simon Cadwell, unexpectedly and inadvertently, got to hold onto those coattails.
