The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Chapter 1816: Now It Seems Room Two’s Family Isn’t Even a Match for Someone Else’s Daughter

At this moment.

The girl’s voice, tinged with a hint of irritation amidst its indifference, came through.

"Forget it."

Nathalie Quinlan straightened up, her eyes cold beneath the black duckbill cap. Her gaze swept over the Zachmann family’s large group of relatives. She reached up to pull down the cap, covering her inkstone-like deep eyes, and told the man standing in front of her, supporting her.

"Let’s go."

Amadeus Yancey turned his head to look at the girl, seeing her whole body exuding detachment and indifference, knowing that she probably didn’t want to get involved with these Zachmann relatives.

He hesitated for a moment, then coldly cast his gaze over the large group of Zachmann relatives, retracted his eyes, slid one hand into his pocket, and said no more.

He and Nathalie Quinlan, one after the other, left the hospital.

It wasn’t until the two vanished down the hospital corridor that the Zachmann family finally exhaled, able to breathe deeply again.

Someone couldn’t help but say to Bernard Ingram, "Aunt, what were you doing just now, how could you talk to Nathalie Quinlan like that. It’s not like you don’t know that Caryn Zachmann stole Nathalie Quinlan’s prescription and then incited public opinion on Twitter, causing an uproar online for two days, almost involving her school and teacher. Saying we’re family at this time and asking for help to get Caryn Zachmann out is a bit too much."

"Exactly, why did you say those things? I almost wanted to stop you just now but didn’t feel right interrupting."

As one person criticized Bernard Ingram for being unscrupulous, there came a second, a third... In no time, the Zachmann family’s relatives were all saying that Bernard Ingram went too far this time.

Bernard Ingram, having a high status, always had considerable authority in the Zachmann family.

At this moment, being criticized from all sides, she couldn’t maintain her "face", and her face was extremely unpleasant, but she said nothing this time.

She understood it clearly in her heart.

The reason people criticized her wasn’t to side with Nathalie Quinlan. It was because, this time, everyone saw that combined, Room Two isn’t as formidable as the daughter of Room One, found from the countryside...

People have a weakness for admiring the strong, and even though they’ve left, it doesn’t stop some people from wanting to curry favor.

This is why everyone said nothing before, and why they all stood up to say she was wrong after Nathalie Quinlan left!

Everyone talked all at once, and Bernard Ingram remained silent, without arguing.

The large group of Zachmann relatives suddenly lost interest in continuing to criticize, looking instead in the direction the man and woman had left, saying with a sense of wonder: "When the inheritance was being divided, I thought the Room One family had fallen. Tsk, now it seems, it’s not Room One that’s fallen, but rather Room Two!"

"Yes, it’s a pity, how could Zunan have such a disappointing daughter. Who knows how the verdict will turn out in tomorrow’s trial..."

"Isn’t Ms. Tucker still looking for a defense lawyer? Has she not found one yet?"

Wednesday.

The weather in Beijing was clear, not a cloud in the sky.

Celine Tucker rushed to the courthouse early in the morning, accompanied by a young man in his thirties.

The man was not tall, slim, wearing glasses, a stiff suit, and holding a thick black leather document bag in his hand.

Almost anyone who saw him could immediately tell his profession—lawyer.

"Mr. Avalon, are you confident about later? You must figure out a way to get my daughter out, I’m relying on you." Celine Tucker was visibly anxious, clutching the lawyer’s hand, displaying her nervousness.

"Ms. Tucker, don’t worry, I will do my best to defend Ms. Zachmann’s innocence." The man she called Mr. Avalon comforted her with a few words, though in his heart, he was pounding with anxiety.
