The Unveiling of Secret Queen

On the other side, Emma Gabehart had just shaken off the car that had been chasing her all the way when she received a call from Nathalie Quinlan.

She slammed on the brake and quickly pulled over to the side of the road, hastily answering Nathalie’s call: ”Hello, boss, how’s it going on your end?”

”Can you come pick me up?” the girl’s voice was calm and steady, with no hint of anything unusual that Emma could detect.

Still, she asked cautiously, ”Send me your address. I’ll come find you right away. By the way, boss, are you alright?”

After Emma asked, she faintly heard the girl’s breathing on the other end of the phone being deeper and heavier than usual.

This stirred a sense of unease within her. ”Are you hurt?”

”Yeah.” Nathalie acknowledged with a sound, then added, ”I sent my location to your phone. Check if you’ve received it.”

Ever since she heard Nathalie admit she was injured, Emma’s mind buzzed, her expression changed slightly, and she slammed her hand on the steering wheel, cursing under her breath, ”Damn!”

Damn, the Kingsleys Family will pay for this! The Red Alliance isn’t so easy to mess with!

Suppressing her anger, she picked up the phone from the passenger seat and saw that indeed, Nathalie had sent her location.

Without saying a word, Emma turned the car around and put on her Bluetooth headset, lowering her voice to speak to the person on the other end of the line: ”Wait for me, I’m coming to get you now.”

...

On Nathalie’s side, after she hung up the call with Emma, she leaned against a tree by the roadside, bending down to check the condition of her right shoulder.

Her jacket had already been soaked in blood, clinging stickily to the wound, which burned painfully, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Clenching her teeth, Nathalie shrugged off her jacket, tore a piece of fabric from the hem of her T-shirt and wrapped it around the injured area.

She tightened the fabric firmly, and the pressure on the wound made the sharp pain even harder to bear. However, she remained silent and deftly performed a simple dressing to stop the bleeding.

After this hasty treatment, the girl’s already pale face appeared even more bloodless, sickly pale.

Nathalie didn’t care about any of this.

With her teeth clenching the treated wound, she turned back to pick up her phone to see how far Emma had gotten.

But as soon as she turned off airplane mode, her phone started buzzing incessantly.

All sorts of messages and missed calls popped up.

There were calls from Amadeus Yancey, Sadam Vinson, Alfred Garland... even Nicholas Fuller and Brian Bonette had called her.

Violetta Hoffman had also sent a message asking where she had gone, saying that Amadeus Yancey had called her to ask if she was with Violetta.

Even @ilovebeingskinny from Beijing had sent a private message asking what had happened.

Looking at the more than twenty messages and missed calls that suddenly appeared on her phone, Nathalie’s head started to spin, feeling like this pressure was more intense than when she barged into the Kingsleys Family’s punishment hall.

However, before she could think further, Amadeus Yancey’s call came directly through.

Seeing his name flash on the screen, Nathalie’s headache worsened. After a moment of silence, she slowly answered, ”Hello.”

She expected Amadeus to ask where she had been, why she hadn’t answered her phone, or something similar.

Unexpectedly, the voice on the other side was very steady: ”Give me your address. I’ll come find you right now.”

”I asked Emma...” Nathalie hadn’t finished speaking.

Amadeus’s tone was very serious: ”Nathalie, don’t make me worry!”

Nathalie paused, lowered her eyes, then raised her eyelids to look at her surroundings and said, ”I’ll send you my location.”
