The Unveiling of Secret Queen

”Given Zevaney Kingsley’s personality, she most likely just wants to get rid of you as soon as possible. She won’t let you drag her down.” The girl’s tone was relaxed, with a hint of nonchalance.

”You’re talking nonsense.” Nathan Garland enunciated each word heavily, as if desperately trying to prove something.

Nathalie Quinlan shifted her posture, maintaining her nonchalant demeanor, though her eyes never left him: ”You know very well whether I’m talking nonsense or not.”

Nathan Garland’s expression changed slightly, and his gaze became shifty.

Nathalie Quinlan noticed his hands unconsciously clenching the blanket beneath him, raising her eyebrows: ”You have only two paths ahead of you. First, you continue to dream and say nothing. If The First Research Institute suffers a loss because of this, I’ll hold you accountable. You can’t afford it, and if you can’t, someone else will have to pay. That would mean your family would have to bear the burden...”

”Second, you cooperate with me. You say what needs to be said, and this matter won’t be your responsibility. The Garland Family won’t be implicated either! As for yourself... we’ll see how my mentor wants to handle it.”

Nathan Garland was extremely angry, a hatred in his eyes almost leaping out, and he gritted his teeth in a low voice: ”You’re threatening me?!”

Nathalie Quinlan didn’t even bat an eyelid, looking at him openly: ”I’m merely stating a result.”

Nathan Garland glared at her fiercely, his chest heaving several times, but his mind was racing, weighing the pros and cons.

He had already made a choice, but seeing the composed girl sitting before him, a sense of unwillingness gnawed at his heart like locusts.

He spoke each word with great difficulty: ”I once gave her the email of an elder from a Hidden Family. She should have contacted that person.”

”That person always disagreed with Martin. Martin supported Nicholas Fuller’s views and didn’t want The First Research Institute to become a place for power factions to manufacture weapons...”

”However, that person opposed Martin’s views! He has always hoped that The First Research Institute could develop new types of destructive weapons for the Hidden Family.”

Nathalie Quinlan could guess these things without needing him to say them, looking at Nathan Garland, her voice slightly hoarse: ”Is Zevaney Kingsley poaching people from the research institute this time to study weapons? It seems she doesn’t have that capability herself, so where did she find the means to fulfill the task assigned to her by the Hidden Family?”

Nathan Garland gave her a surprised glance, as if confused about why Nathalie Quinlan still had to ask this: ”Haven’t you known for a long time she had a laptop?”

”Lynette Kingsley was once hailed as a once-in-a-century genius at the institute, with astounding achievements in biology and physics.”

”She herself was also a weapon manufacturing master.”

Nathan Garland lowered his eyelids, hiding the complex emotions in his eyes, dismissively said ”Currently, it’s said outside that Marcella Davidson is the number one in weapon manufacturing, but that’s only because the Kingsleys Family erased records related to Lynette Kingsley. Many young people are unaware of the inside story and believe Marcella Davidson’s achievements in weapon manufacturing are at their peak! In reality, she’s not... the person truly at the peak in this area was only Lynette Kingsley.”

This wasn’t just his words.

Marcella Davidson herself also acknowledged that Lynette Kingsley’s capabilities were superior to hers.

She never mentioned the title of the number one in weapon manufacturing to the public, because in her heart, she never considered herself the first.

Nathalie Quinlan heard this, and without further preamble, she straightforwardly asked the ultimate reason she had come to Nathan Garland: ”So how exactly did she die back then?”
