The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Chapter 1039: Chapter 1039: No Acceptance of Settlement!

He took the lead in breaking the stalemate in the conference room, straightened his suit, and sat down resolutely in the chair, his arm resting on the conference table, with an extremely tough attitude, re-emphasizing: ”I don’t care what kind of proof they say they have, evidence can be fabricated later. In short, I do not believe a school has the capability to overcome the challenges of microchip technology! Moreover, Zenla has always relied on imports for chips; if they were capable of making chips, they would have done it already—they lack the talent in this area!”

”The fact that they have made it without any talent can only mean one thing—they have stolen someone else’s technology!”

”The chip they’ve presented this time is almost identical to ours, it’s not possible that we stole their technology.”

Charles Quarles remained unmoved by the Arbitration Committee’s suggestion to compromise and give way to each other, refusing to budge an inch.

”Either we do not allow them to use this technology, or we do not allow ourselves to use it. I will not accept any concessions, nor will I accept their explanations and apologies. You deal with it!”

First floor.

After sending a message to @ilovebeingskinny, Nathalie Quinlan said to Jackson Wafford and others: ”Principal, I’m going to step out to meet a friend.”

”Do you need me to accompany you?” Jackson Wafford was not at ease with her going alone, given they were unfamiliar with the place, and wouldn’t know whom to turn to if something happened.

”No need.” Nathalie Quinlan had already stood up, her black single shoulder bag was placed beside Jackson Wafford, and she wasn’t worried about anyone stealing her bag with him there. Taking only her phone, she possessed an air of convincing confidence, and said in a light tone, ”I’ll just wait for him outside, it’s not far.”

Stella Iversen, seeing her show off like that, pulled a face in disdain.

If it weren’t for Jackson Wafford still being there, she almost couldn’t help but scoff aloud—when Nathalie Quinlan first mentioned she had a friend coming, she seemed so pretentious, as if her friend was a big deal, yet she’s not even familiar with the hotel, and needs someone to fetch them.

Doesn’t seem like a significant figure!

What help could such a person be to them?

Without looking at Stella Iversen and seeing that Nathalie Quinlan really didn’t want him to follow her, Jackson Wafford stood up and cautioned the girl, ”Remember to phone me if anything happens, I’ll come to you right away. Absolutely remember, do not act alone! Your grandfather has repeatedly instructed me to ensure your safety. Do not let the teacher down on his promise, understand?”

”Mm.” Hearing him mention Ericko Zachmann, Nathalie Quinlan’s eyes visibly softened, and she nodded in agreement.

...

Outside.

The elevator from the 38th floor to the 1st floor takes quite some time.

@ilovebeingskinny had never felt such an endlessly long few seconds in life.

He wished the elevator would arrive on the first floor the next second, and he could dash out in a sprint to the agreed meeting spot.

While waiting for the elevator to descend, he couldn’t wait to check the message he had just received on his phone once again.

He rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn’t seeing things.

The big shot had indeed replied to his message, and even set a place to meet.

[Sun: Outside the Golden Pavilion Hotel first-floor tea restaurant corridor, I’ll wait for you.]

He confirmed it over and over.

He had not mistaken the person!

Absolutely the right one.

The thought of meeting the person soon sent waves of uncontrollable excitement through him.

Sun.

Anyone in the Red Alliance would want to meet Sun in person.

Even someone of his rank had never seen Sun, which shows just how mysterious Sun really is.

Today, he is going to meet Sun in person!

@ilovebeingskinny felt not as if he was going to meet a big shot, but as if he was about to meet a lover, with his heart beating fast.
