The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Amadeus Yancey happened to be looking this way. With just one glance sweeping over, Shania Yancey’s expression froze; she didn’t even dare let the unwillingness on her face show and immediately lowered her head.

Very soon, the waiter brought up all the dishes Candice Yancey had ordered, one by one.

Mr. Yancey poured her a glass of juice and handed it over, his voice gentle: ”You just drink juice. If there’s any dish that suits your taste later, tell Grandpa, I’ll move it over in front of you.”

Nathalie Quinlan saw him put the juice in front of herself, then turn his head to talk to Fredy Yancey, as if he had only taken a moment out of his conversation to look after her.

A faint warmth rose in Nathalie Quinlan’s heart. She slightly lowered her head, picked up the chopsticks on the table, and started eating unhurriedly.

Most of the time, Nathalie Quinlan was the type who didn’t talk much.

Basically, only when Fredy Yancey or Mr. Yancey steered the Topic toward her would she answer Two Sentences.

If Mr. Yancey they were talking about something else, Nathalie Quinlan rarely cut in, just lowered her head and quietly ate her own food.

Because Amadeus Yancey was also asking Ian Edbert about some things, Shania Yancey finally let out a small breath, her Line of sight landing on the Girl who looked perfectly at ease. She smiled slightly, looking rather dignified: ”Nathalie Quinlan, I heard you want to get into The First Research Institute? I do know a few people. Do you want me to help you ask around?”

As soon as she said that, the entire private room instantly went quiet.

Mr. Yancey and Candice Yancey’s brows twitched at the same time as they looked toward the Girl.

Nathalie Quinlan had just picked up a piece of boiled sliced pork in chili sauce with her chopsticks. Hearing that, her expression didn’t seem to fluctuate; she only drawled lazily: ”No need.”

But Shania Yancey misunderstood Her opinion. Thinking she couldn’t openly show that she disliked Nathalie Quinlan, but could disgust her in private, she looked at the Girl with a show of warm enthusiasm and said, ”You really don’t want to get into The First Research Institute? If you don’t pull strings and just rely on yourself, you’ll probably never get in. I’m just kindly trying to help you. After all, you’re Amadeus’s girlfriend...”

Mr. Yancey set his chopsticks down with a snap and said in a deep voice, ”Can’t you keep your mouth shut?!”

Shania Yancey’s face went pale, then flushed red with embarrassment in an instant. She hurriedly opened her mouth: ”I was just kindly asking.”

Fredy Yancey rubbed his forehead, inwardly impressed by Shania Yancey’s courage to insist on courting death even knowing she shouldn’t. He stepped in to smooth things over: ”Right, have you been in touch with the business alliance over there lately?”

Mr. Yancey was almost driven mad by Shania Yancey. Hearing Fredy Yancey’s words, he knew the other party was trying to ease the atmosphere in the private room.

He withdrew his gaze and said, ”I had Candice Yancey reach out, but the business alliance still hasn’t given us a reply.”

Fredy Yancey nodded, not surprised: ”The big Power in Inderia are all like this, acting like they could drag the sky down. I’ll go with Shania Yancey to find them later. I just don’t know if they’ll be willing to give us this face.”

Nathalie Quinlan casually set down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth, then said offhandedly, ”You’re looking for people from the business alliance?”

Fredy Yancey turned his head toward her, a little surprised that Nathalie Quinlan would actually join the conversation.

After all, when Shania Yancey had said those things just now, the Girl’s expression had remained faint the whole time, with no intention of responding to Shania Yancey at all.

Fredy Yancey couldn’t figure out why Nathalie Quinlan would suddenly ask him this, but he answered the Girl good-temperedly: ”The Yancey Family has a deal to negotiate with the business alliance, but they’ve been slow to give us an answer and haven’t said whether they’re willing to come out and meet us, which puts us in a very passive position.”

Nathalie Quinlan let out an ”mm,” took out her Phone, and said to him, ”I know people in the business alliance. Who are you looking for?”
