The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Amadeus Yancey seemed to feel the line of sight on him, turning his head and meeting it directly, raising an eyebrow with a slight smile: ”Why are you looking at me?”

”No, nothing.” Sadam Vinson quickly looked away, not daring to speak his heart.

Amadeus Yancey knew exactly why he was being watched, yet he deliberately turned to Emma Gabehart in the back row: ”What do you want to eat tonight? I can cook.”

”Hmm?” Nathalie Quinlan was still on her phone, replying to Emma Gabehart’s message, her mind not catching up at first. Just as she realized, she was propping her chin, thinking, yet hadn’t said spicy chicken.

”Spicy chicken is not an option.”

”...”

”It’s too spicy.” Amadeus Yancey’s line of sight casually brushed past her right shoulder, as if he could see through the fabric to the unhealed wound underneath: ”You can’t have spicy food recently, so hot pot and spicy chicken are out.”

Upon hearing she couldn’t have spicy food, Nathalie Quinlan’s interest waned: ”Whatever.”

”Alright.” Amadeus Yancey smiled faintly, his voice enticing and captivating: ”Then I’ll stew a chicken soup for you and make a few small dishes.”

Nathalie Quinlan was fine with anything as long as it wasn’t spicy, so she answered carelessly: ”Mm.”

But her eyes lowered, as she was looking at the messages on her phone.

It was that same D messaging her again this time.

[I got the item, should I mail it to you?]

[Yes.]

Nathalie Quinlan sent him an address.

The typing indicator quickly appeared from D’s side, and a second later, he replied: [Alright, keep an eye out for the package.]

Nathalie Quinlan closed the chat window and nonchalantly opened the game page, starting a single-player mobile game to play...

”You said Nathalie Quinlan brought people to break into the laboratory and steal something?” Regina Isadora, not looking pleased, stood up from behind the office chair.

Zevaney Kingsley pressed her lips tightly, unable to suppress the humiliation and resentment on her fair face. She slightly lowered her head, using her bangs to cover her eyes, and whispered: ”Her people said you were just a bottom-ranking family in the Hidden Family... said they weren’t afraid of your revenge.”

”Outrageous!”

Regina Isadora had always hated anyone using the Isadora family’s status in the Hidden Family as leverage. In extreme anger, she swept everything off the table onto the floor.

Leaning on the table, she was breathing heavily, her face filled with shame and rage, demonstrating how deeply Zevaney Kingsley’s words had incited her.

”Did they really say that?” She wasn’t a fool.

After the initial anger, the first thing Regina Isadora did was question the woman standing before her: ”Did they personally say they weren’t afraid of my revenge? And disregard the Hidden Family?”

Zevaney Kingsley dared not look into her eyes, secretly clenching her hand beside her into a fist, speaking in a hushed and tentative voice: ”They didn’t say it directly.”

”But he said the Isadora Family is just a bottom-ranking family in the Hidden Family, and that you have no say there; everyone in the laboratory heard it.”

She raised her head: ”If you don’t believe me, you can ask the others in the laboratory.”

Since she wasn’t afraid to confront others in the laboratory, Regina Isadora already believed what she said.

Gathering rage in her eyes, slowly retracting her gaze, her face expressionless, only a chilling demeanor, she waved her hand at Zevaney Kingsley: ”You can go back.”

Zevaney Kingsley initially thought she would be angry and then confront Nathalie Quinlan. She never expected that although Regina Isadora had been very angry earlier, this would be her final reaction: ”Mr. Isadora?”

”What, do you have anything else?”

Regina Isadora had already gone back to pick up a folder from the floor, seeing her still standing there like a block of wood, looking at her with full impatience.
