The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Amadeus Yancey coming back meant that Nathalie Quinlan was coming back.

Audrick Zachmann was actually a little happy when he thought of this.

However, he hadn’t stayed happy for long when he heard Govert Griffin rub his nose and awkwardly say to himself, ”Ahem, Amadeus, Amadeus seems to have had a fight with his girlfriend. He called me to ask how to coax a woman.”

”The hell?” Audrick didn’t react right away.

Seeing that he didn’t get it, Govert pushed his hand away and repeated it again.

This time Audrick finally reacted, the veins on his forehead bulging as he instantly flew into a rage, his whole body trembling: ”How old is my sister?! It’s bad enough he’s an old mock chewing on tender grass, but a grown man actually has the nerve to fight with a girl. Seriously regressing!”

”Cough, cough.” Govert didn’t dare respond.

No way was he joking around here—Family could scold that person all they wanted, but he sure as hell didn’t dare curse that lord!

The more Audrick thought about it, the angrier he got. Afraid his little sister would get the short end of the stick, he hurriedly paced back to the Sofa, grabbed his Phone and sent Nathalie Quinlan a WhatsApp to ask what was going on.

The others in the private room also noticed what was happening over here, several people sneaking glances their way.

Someone whispered gossip: ”Did I just hear Amadeus’s name? What’s up with Amadeus?”

”Amadeus seems to have gone to McKinney with his girlfriend. It’s been almost half a year and he still hasn’t come back. Did something happen?”

”I think Nathalie took a year off from school.”

Right then, Nadya Tucker exhaled a ring of smoke, pressed the slim Cigarette between her fingers into the Ashtray, her long narrow eyes sweeping around, landing especially on the few people gossiping over there.

She said in a hostile tone, ”What are you doing? Is Ms. Quinlan someone you get to talk about? If you want to play, play; if not, get the hell out. This isn’t some vegetable market, cut the damn gossip.”

She got along well with Govert, and was one of the rare women barely able to squeeze into Amadeus and their top-tier little Circle. The Beijing small Circles were also divided into nine ranks; before, Nadya had at most been in the last rank. Later, during the whole Caryn Zachmann incident, she picked the right side, and now Nadya’s status had climbed, she’d pretty much mixed her way up to sixth...

People in the Beijing small Circles had to give her face!

Sure enough, as soon as she opened her mouth, the ones gossiping about Nathalie immediately shrank their necks and went as quiet as chickens.

Seeing they weren’t chirping anymore, Nadya turned her head and picked up her Phone, really wanting to send a Message to ask Nathalie about it. But she wasn’t exactly that close to Nathalie, so she could only wait for Govert to dig out the full story, then see if she could help somehow.

Thinking this, Nadya propped her chin up with her hand, feeling inexplicably bewildered. She truly couldn’t figure out what on earth Amadeus could possibly be fighting with Ms. Quinlan over...

On the other side, after being bombarded by Audrick’s WhatsApp messages, Nathalie Quinlan was stunned for quite a while. Only after she finished reading all the messages he’d sent.

Did she belatedly realize what Audrick was asking.

Nathalie pulled out a chair and sat down in a bold, unceremonious way, Phone still in hand, her expression irritated, not knowing how to reply to him for a long time.

She had indeed been unable to suppress the fire that flared up in her chest just now.

But she also knew why Amadeus didn’t immediately step out to block Lianna Young’s provocation for her. Most likely it was to let her establish authority in the Yandor Sect... She understood why he did it, but her mood still got affected.

Nathalie leaned back against the chair, absentmindedly twisted open a bottle cap, lowered her head and took a sip of water with a blank face.

The cold water slid down into her stomach.

It cooled her temper a little.

Once the fire in her chest had lowered a bit, Nathalie rubbed her brow and felt that her behavior just now had been a bit too childish.
