The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Chapter 1028: Mr. Zachmann: How the hell would I know!

Leonardy Zachmann felt annoyed but helpless: "But surely Lincoln Hoffman would take the chance to make demands when the time comes, perhaps they will force us to release Phoebe Hoffman."

Phoebe Hoffman was sentenced to ten years and had only been in for three months. If she were released now, it would undoubtedly be a slap in the face to their family.

However, for the sake of his family, Leonardy Zachmann couldn’t think of a better way at the moment.

"Caryn..."

Just mentioning Caryn Zachmann gave Leonardy Zachmann a headache, and in front of Mr. Zachmann, he found himself even more tongue-tied.

It was only Caryn Zachmann in their family who still maintained a good relationship with Lincoln Hoffman; without her help, they would not be able to make contact with the Red Alliance through Hoffman.

As he was speaking, Mr. Zachmann was propped up on his pillows, staring down at his phone with a stern expression and ignoring him completely.

Standing there, Leonardy Zachmann grew more embarrassed and awkward as he said, "Anyway, when I return, I will seriously try to persuade Caryn. Dad, don’t worry about it."

Before he could finish, Mr. Zachmann suddenly looked up, his cloudy eyes considerably clearer and sharp, with a commanding presence: "No need."

Leonardy Zachmann: "??"

"Dad, what do you mean ’no need’?"

Mr. Zachmann put away his phone and looked at him with a calm expression: "You don’t need to go find Caryn, nor do you need to find Lincoln Hoffman."

"But if we don’t go to Lincoln Hoffman, we can’t make contact with the Red Alliance, big brother..."

Mr. Zachmann interrupted him succinctly: "Nathalie just sent me a text message saying she’s going to pick someone up."

"?"

Leonardy Zachmann doubted his own ears, his face showing stunned disbelief, struggling for words: "Dad, you’re saying Nathalie is going to the Illegal Zone to pick someone up?"

Nathalie Quinlan knows about the Illegal Zone?

A thought flashed through his mind—could it be that person from the Yancey Family?

Still, Leonardy Zachmann found the information hard to digest. Even if Amadeus Yancey had told Nathalie about the Illegal Zone, could Nathalie, just a high school senior, really go there to pick someone up?

Who would believe such a thing if it were said aloud?

That place is the Illegal Zone!

Only a few people from Beijing could go there.

Nathalie Quinlan is going to the Illegal Zone to pick someone up??

Ericko Zachmann didn’t make a sound, nor did he give the full details to him, as Ericko himself didn’t know much either. He had simply received a message from Nathalie assuring him not to worry and that she would bring both Stanley Zachmann and Audrick Zachmann back.

He also received a message from Jackson Wafford, saying that a Tsinghua University research team will set off for the Illegal Zone with Nathalie tomorrow. It stated that it was Nathalie’s own request to go, and that she has a pass to the Illegal Zone.

At this moment, Mr. Zachmann’s mind was in chaos, feeling like he almost grasped something, yet also feeling like he had caught nothing at all.

Groggy and confused.

In the text message he received from Jackson Wafford, there was a probing hint, subtly questioning how Nathalie ended up with a pass to the Illegal Zone.

Ericko Zachmann himself was clueless.

He didn’t even know how Nathalie found out about Stanley Zachmann; how could he possibly know where Nathalie’s pass had come from?

Yet his granddaughter always seemed to operate mysteriously on her own, surrounded by a group of influential people.

Silvania Ingram from Pinecone Group, as well as Owen Yapiter, Shawn Norton, and the rest, all had good relations with her.

And Johnny, who visited the other day.

Mr. Zachmann looked again at Leonardy Zachmann, who stood in front of his sickbed with a befuddled expression, and then thought about the attitude of Caryn Zachmann and Celine Tucker towards the matter earlier, and he could not help but sigh heavily in his heart.

If Nathalie really had connections in the Illegal Zone, then Caryn played it far too foolishly this time!
