The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Chapter 1408: Chapter 1408: Represents the Attitude of the Entire Circle

Mrs. Fisher watched as the elevator numbers kept going up, pressed her brow, and settled for a second choice, opening her mouth: ”Cad...”

She only managed to call out a name, without having a chance to say the next words.

Simon Cadwell had already withdrawn the approachable demeanor he had when Nathalie Quinlan was present. His sharp eyes glanced at Mrs. Fisher and her group, his smile faintly pausing as he interrupted her, saying in a deep voice, ”Mrs. Fisher, I have matters to attend to, so I won’t chat with you all.”

”...”

Just now, when he wanted to invite Nathalie to dinner, he distinctly said he had no plans!

But when I invited him, he immediately put on a business-only attitude. The meaning was crystal clear.

Mrs. Fisher’s face burned with embarrassment, her vision darkening, almost unable to keep her composed elegance. She could only squeeze out a dry sentence: ”Ah, if Mr. Cadwell has matters, then never mind, go ahead, your business is important.”

The Fisher Family held a certain prestige in McKinney, and Simon Cadwell didn’t want to completely fall out with them, but he was acutely aware of how he should treat this group.

He nodded at Mrs. Fisher, gave a slight nod, then, with a dignified expression, said in a deep voice, ”Alright, I’ll take my leave, you all enjoy yourselves.”

After speaking, he marched past the Fisher family group, brushing right by Mrs. Fisher and Zayn Fisher.

He treated Mrs. Fisher with such indifference, let alone anyone else.

Simon Cadwell barely looked directly at Ghania Quinlan, Emilia Sullivan, and the others, and even Zayn Fisher, the future heir of the Fisher Family, was barely given a glance before leaving.

Mrs. Fisher, who had been in McKinney for so long, was certainly a clever person, and she understood that Simon Cadwell’s attitude represented the current attitude of those at the very top of McKinney’s social pyramid — excluding the Fisher Family!

Her heart bled, and she couldn’t help but glance back, giving Zayn Fisher a glare filled with resentment. Lowering her voice, she chastised in a low, sarcastic tone, ”Look at their attitude. If only you’d had your eyes open back then, our family wouldn’t have fallen to a second-tier status!”

”Mom.” Zayn Fisher’s face was filled with awkwardness and embarrassment.

Ms. Fisher herself regretted, seeing him like this, and thinking about how she hadn’t chosen well back then; otherwise, how could she have thought Ghania Quinlan could compare with Nathalie Quinlan.

She turned her head again, looking at Emilia Sullivan, who was still posturing uneasily, with mocking disdain.

”But even if our eyes were blind, at least we’re better than some people who picked up sesame seeds and lost a watermelon. They could have ridden Nathalie Quinlan’s coattails to success, but instead they chose to ruin it. Now look, people don’t even spare them a glance, and I wonder who they’re still pretending for, like someone is going to call them ’mom’ or something! They don’t even realize they’re worlds apart from those people now!”

Emilia Sullivan had never been subjected to such humiliation, especially as Mrs. Fisher directly named and ridiculed her in front of all the Fisher family’s relatives. Her face alternated between pale and livid, flared red, wishing she could just walk away on the spot.

But for Ghania Quinlan, she didn’t even have the strength to storm off.

Emilia Sullivan could only stand there extremely humiliated.

Beside her, Ghania Quinlan heard Mrs. Fisher’s pointed remarks, especially hearing the phrase ”worlds apart,” her mind went blank, and under her ashen face, her lips began to tremble.

Perhaps it was because the gazes around her were too mocking.

Ghania Quinlan didn’t know if she truly fainted or pretended to faint, but at the very moment Mrs. Fisher finished speaking, she collapsed on the spot.
