The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Chapter 1982: Chapter 1982: Utter Humiliation—Zevaney Kingsley Publicly Admits Her Mistake

”Everyone took first place together; there’s no reason for you to be punished alone.” Wincent Sullivan smiled faintly, exhaled a breath of turbid air, seemingly prepared for this situation.

Williansen Barness said nothing, nor did he object, clearly expressing his stance.

Nathalie Quinlan saw the three of them like this, and the turmoil in her heart dissipated significantly, along with her intimidating ”don’t mess with me” aura.

She curled her lips into a mischievous smile and asked, ”What do you think I’ve been punished for?”

Wincent Sullivan and Agnes Baker exchanged glances but said nothing.

Nathalie Quinlan guessed it, lazily taking out her phone and placing it on the lab table. She didn’t find a chair to sit down on, but leaned against the side of the lab table, propping up a leg, looking up at them nonchalantly: ”Do you think I got expelled?”

Agnes Baker’s expression changed dramatically, more anxious than Nathalie herself, and she immediately grabbed her arm, urgently asking, ”Did you get expelled?”

”...”

She just said it casually.

”Damn!” Agnes Baker swore and was about to rush out to confront someone.

Nathalie Quinlan grabbed her back, no longer daring to joke, ”No, I didn’t get expelled, I was just speaking off the cuff. I guessed what you were thinking, I never said I was really expelled.”

Agnes Baker turned back, carefully examining Nathalie’s expression, and only when she saw her honesty did her heart settle down. Her heart was still pounding, a bit annoyed, and she stamped her foot asking, ”So what did the research institute say? How do they plan to handle this situation? Stop keeping us in suspense, you’re driving me crazy.”

Nathalie had just wanted to tease her a bit to lighten the mood, not expecting to almost make her panic.

She stopped joking and succinctly faced the three of them: ”Zevaney Kingsley will apologize to you all.”

WHAT?!

Zevaney Kingsley is going to apologize to them?

Even Agnes Baker was taken aback.

Wincent Sullivan and Williansen Barness were completely bewildered by this outcome.

Wincent Sullivan tilted his head, somewhat puzzled, and confirmed again with the girl to make sure he hadn’t misheard: ”Nathalie, did you just say Zevaney Kingsley is going to apologize to us? Is that what you said? Did I hear wrong, or is that what you meant? Why would she apologize to us, she...”

Zevaney Kingsley is backed by the Kingsleys Family, one of Inderia’s three Great Families.

The Kingsleys have been in the spotlight these past years.

They’re just considered minor characters in their eyes, no more significant than ants on the ground.

Zevaney herself is proud and lofty; there aren’t many people in the research institute who can make her lower her head, maybe only those in level 8 laboratories can gain her attention.

Then there are the heads of a few laboratories.

Zevaney’s teacher is Nathan Garland, the head of the level 5 laboratory.

The heads of laboratories below level 5 are not even worth mentioning in front of her, let alone them!

Would Zevaney lower her head to apologize to them?

Is Nathalie dreaming?

The girl, leaning carelessly against the lab table, with her stunning face, faced his doubts by raising an eyebrow, showing a casual attitude.

”Don’t worry, she’ll publicly apologize to you.”

Zevaney Kingsley’s public apology came even faster than Nathalie had expected.

She had said her piece in the office that morning, and by midday, Zevaney and the Kingsleys Family had come to terms with it. At one o’clock during break time, Zevaney had already published an apology statement on the research institute’s Intranet.

She publicly apologized to Group 10.

Admitted her ’mistake,’ and it turned into a joke.
