The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Chapter 1552: Chapter 1552: Hendrik Zachmann: Is Audrick Zachmann’s Accident Related to Ellen Quarles?

Caryn Zachmann’s chest rose and fell unpredictably, her nails deeply embedded into her flesh, and she felt a moment of darkness before her eyes. At this moment, she even hoped that Sadam Vinson and his group wouldn’t come, better than them all accompanying Nathalie Quinlan.

Inside Banquet Hall No. 1.

Caryn Zachmann’s welcome banquet was extravagant.

Many celebrities from Beijing attended to extend their congratulations.

Ellen Quarles was one of today’s important guests, arranged by Celine Tucker at the main table.

Seated at the same table with Ellen Quarles were Ivy Wilmar and Myles Sullivan, along with other fringe figures of Beijing’s top circle.

Since the Quarles Family turned things around, its overseas influence has grown significantly, and Ellen Quarles subtly hinted at turning the family’s power towards the domestic scene.

The Quarles Family has naturally become a notable power recently.

The Quarles Family’s key figure, Ellen Quarles, is equally attention-grabbing.

With the Quarles Family being so high-profile lately, others naturally want to establish good relations with Ellen Quarles.

Myles Sullivan and Ivy Wilmar came this time partly due to Caryn Zachmann joining the Pharmaceutical Association, and partly because of Ellen Quarles.

Myles Sullivan proactively engaged Ellen Quarles in conversation, with Ivy Wilmar playing the role of a supportive wife, along with others at the table.

The conversation at this table quickly became lively.

...

”Just over there.”

Not far away, Hendrik Zachmann pointed towards the main table to show Nathalie Quinlan the way.

Nathalie Quinlan saw the woman seated at the center, like stars surrounding the moon, a smile lifted at the corner of her lips but didn’t reach her eyes, remaining rather cool.

Audrick Zachmann was still lying in the hospital, yet Ellen Quarles was doing quite well, reveling in triumph. Today she wore a brightly colored dress, seeming afraid that no one would see her flourishing under good fortune.

Nathalie Quinlan suppressed the sharpness in her eyes, her voice husky as she said to Hendrik Zachmann, ”I’ll go myself. You needn’t accompany me.”

”?”

Hendrik Zachmann furrowed his brows, vaguely sensing something, he opened his mouth to say, ”Nathalie, do you need anything with Ellen Quarles?”

The girl turned her head to look at him.

Hendrik Zachmann felt a bit uneasy, unsure where to place his hands, he took a deep breath and continued, ”A few days ago, Grandma called to say you sent Trode Freeman to the police station... is this related to Audrick Zachmann?”

”Do you think it’s related to Audrick Zachmann?” Nathalie Quinlan’s voice was slightly hoarse, with a hint of mockery, neither confirming nor denying.

Hendrik Zachmann felt very embarrassed, could only avoid her line of sight, turned his head and said, ”I was just guessing you’re not someone who causes trouble for no reason. You and Hailey Freeman haven’t even seen each other before, you don’t need to deliberately target Hailey Freeman like Grandma said.”

Did Bernard Ingram tell Hendrik Zachmann she deliberately targeted Hailey Freeman?

Nathalie Quinlan murmured apathetically, even too lazy to explain, ”Let her say whatever she wants.”

”Does Ellen Quarles also have something to do with Audrick Zachmann’s injury?” Hendrik Zachmann looked at her with piercing eyes again.

Nathalie Quinlan didn’t immediately answer him, she just looked towards the main table. Ellen Quarles was still there, smiling brightly amidst the crowd, she spoke lightly, ”If I told you it was related, what would you do?”

”...”

For a moment, Hendrik Zachmann was at a loss, baffled by her question.

Ellen Quarles is Caryn Zachmann’s godmother, his mother even hopes to use Ellen Quarles’ connections to help Caryn Zachmann establish a foothold in the Pharmaceutical Association, even stepping into higher circles.

For instance, the Illegal Zone.

And perhaps... Inderia.

But if Ellen Quarles is related to Audrick Zachmann’s injury, would he pretend not to know for Caryn Zachmann’s future?

Hendrik Zachmann didn’t know what choice he’d make at that time.

After all, they are both his blood relatives, caught in the middle felt like nothing he could do was right.
