The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Chapter 1018: Sister-in-Law Can’t Be a High School Student, Right?

Why should she help Nathalie Quinlan?

Mr. Zachmann’s eyes—murky yet perceptive—gazed at her as if seeing through to the depths of her heart, his voice quite weary: "Caryn, can you really not find Lincoln Hoffman?"

"It’s not that I won’t help." Caryn Zachmann looked at Mr. Zachmann and gently raised the point: "Grandfather, doesn’t Mr. Norton know the Hoffman Family? Nathalie Quinlan has a good relationship with Mr. Norton, she could contact Uncle Hoffman through him."

Everyone knows how much the Hoffman Family despises Nathalie Quinlan to the bone!

Although the Hoffman Family is wary of the power behind Nathalie Quinlan, namely Amadeus Yancey, and dares not do anything outright, Nathalie seeking their help would only be inviting humiliation.

This simple truth, Caryn Zachmann had figured out.

Ericko Zachmann must have figured it out too.

Seeing that she was unwilling to help, Ericko Zachmann closed his eyes, seemingly very tired, said no more, and waved his hand, "It’s okay, if you can’t help, never mind. I’ll think of another way. You can go out."

Caryn Zachmann glanced at him, hesitating momentarily, but it was only a moment before it was quickly overshadowed by the jealousy swirling in her eyes. She hummed softly and said, "Then, I’ll leave first, Grandfather."

"Go ahead." Ericko Zachmann nodded.

Without looking back, Caryn Zachmann left.

The private room at Rivendell was bustling with liveliness.

Nathalie Quinlan occupied a corner of the sofa, wearing a Duckbill Cap, her eyebrows and eyes quite bold.

Nadya Tucker and Natalio Heburn, who first greeted Nathalie Quinlan in the group, among others, had arrived; they didn’t directly look towards the girl, but during their conversation, their line of sight would unconsciously drift in her direction.

The words ’call me sister-in-law’ authentically endorsed personally by Amadeus in the group were still clear in their minds.

However, the top circle in Beijing comprising a bunch of the Second Generation Rich found it impossible to connect the term ’sister-in-law’ with the excessively young face of the girl lounging on the sofa.

Natalio Heburn met Nathalie Quinlan for the first time today. Before coming, he had heard that Nadya Tucker had seen Nathalie Quinlan a few times. While playing cards, he took the chance to ask, "Nadya Tucker, do you know how old the sister who came to McKinney with Amadeus is?"

He was sent abroad to study by the Heburn Family at a young age and had only returned a few days ago, not knowing much about Nathalie Quinlan. At first glance at Nathalie, then at her strikingly provocative face, his expression complex, he lowered his voice; "She isn’t still a high school student, is she?"

Nadya Tucker, a junior in college, a year younger than Caryn Zachmann, but her actions and style seemed very mature and stable, appearing much older than her age.

Upon hearing this, she pulled out a pack of ladies’ cigarettes from her pocket, slid out one, and with a peripheral glance toward Nathalie, she pursed her red lips and silently returned the cigarette back to the pack, picked up a cup, drank some water to calm her shock, and said: "18?"

"18?" Natalio Heburn looked astonished: "Isn’t that just a high school senior?"

Nadya Tucker lifted her eyelid to glance at him, thinking he might be an idiot, but the Heburn family held considerable power in Beijing, aligned with the Yancey Family, similar to the situation of the Vinson Family, with everyone following the lead of the Yancey Family. Still, Natalio Heburn, having grown up with a Western education, was very naive and straightforward in his speech.
