The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Chapter 1416: Chapter 1416: Ghania Quinlan Was Made a Fool Of

Zayn Fisher detected the unmistakable tone of ’finding amusement in chaos’ in her words, his thick dark eyebrows furrowing again.

”Mom.” Ghania Quinlan noticed Zayn Fisher’s displeased expression and hurriedly stopped Emilia Sullivan from speaking: ”Mom, please stop.”

Her eyes flickered slightly, biting her lip, seemingly understanding the gravity of the situation: ”Since Nathalie decided to participate in the competition, she must have confidence. We have to trust her...”

Zayn Fisher’s demeanor soothed, his tone much gentler as he said, ”Ghania, it’s good you think that way. After all, Nathalie is representing the domestic side in this competition. If she can win, we’ll also bask in the glory overseas.”

Ha!

Ghania’s face turned a shade paler, she lowered her eyelashes, suppressing the jealousy she could hardly contain, then changed her tone, whispering: ”I know. It’s just...”

”Just what?” Zayn Fisher looked at her again, unable to fathom what she was hesitating to say.

Ghania adjusted her emotions internally, lifted her head, her beautiful eyes a bit panicked and unsure as she spoke: ”I just heard on the way over that her hard drive was lost.”

”What did you say?” Zayn Fisher was startled, his reaction was intense, standing up immediately, gazing toward the backstage where Sadam Vinson and the others were.

Apparently confirming Ghania’s words, Amadeus Yancey and Alfred Garland were both absent.

The competition on stage was about to start, and the two hadn’t returned.

His heart sank abruptly.

This time, Nathalie was representing not just herself, but the domestic side!

It’s been a long time since the domestic scene raised its head in such a high-tech field as IT, and the overseas community thought of them as an IT weak nation.

This time, Nathalie managed to fight her way from the elimination rounds to the finals representing the domestic front, how could such an incident occur when Velnisa Irvin’s matter had just been resolved?

Zayn Fisher couldn’t even discern his own feelings now.

His heart was in turmoil, naturally missing the flickering light in Ghania’s eyes and the obviously concealed tone at this moment.

”I heard that her hard drive was lost, without the hard drive, wouldn’t she be...”

Embarrassed, she hadn’t finished speaking.

”Wait a minute.” Zayn Fisher kept his eyes fixed on the stage, watching as the competition began. He saw a girl take something resembling a hard drive from her pocket and casually inserted it into the computer.

His tense nerves relaxed instantly, turning to look at Ghania, his handsome face filled with confusion: ”Nathalie’s hard drive isn’t lost, where did you hear that it was?”

Ghania was initially confident she held the upper hand this time, speaking with utmost sympathy over Nathalie’s supposed hard drive loss, while secretly waiting to see her embarrassment.

She suddenly heard Zayn Fisher say Nathalie’s hard drive wasn’t lost.

Her face went pale, eyes widening involuntarily, turning to look at the competition stage.

The camera just gave Nathalie a close-up, a girl wearing a duckbill cap slowly inserting the hard drive into the computer.

Power on, input the program, all done in one go!

”...How, how could it be?” Ghania could barely believe her eyes, rubbing them before opening them again.

Nathalie had already extracted the program from the hard drive.

It was clear the hard drive in her hand was intact and undamaged!

Ghania’s lips went white, her fingers hanging by her side trembling incessantly, completely stunned by the situation before her.

Nathalie, Nathalie still had a hard drive in her hand?

Ghania’s mind went blank, her lips whitened, suddenly realizing she had been fooled.

And made a fool of like a monkey!
