The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Chapter 1892: Nathalie Quinlan’s Name Never Appeared

Nathalie Quinlan had just replied to a few messages. She leaned casually against the car, resting her leg, and lazily lifted her eyelids to glance over, taking about half a second to react. Then she remembered what Brian Bonette asked her, squinting slightly with some fatigue, and said, "Alright, I don’t really feel anything special."

Compared to the level of anxiety of Sadam Vinson and Brian Bonette.

She, the person directly involved, seemed too calm.

When the list of ranks 80-83 came out, Nathalie Quinlan did not even look up at the scrolling screen.

When the list of ranks 70-80 came out, she was still checking her phone, replying to messages.

The girl seemed unconcerned about whether she would fall into these particular rank segments.

Brian Bonette was momentarily speechless: "... So Ms. Quinlan, how do you think you did this time? Approximately what ranking do you think you might fall into?"

Nathalie Quinlan finally finished responding to the messages at hand, put her phone back, glanced at him, with a conspicuous and unrestrained attitude all around her, seriously calculated for a moment, then looked up at him and said, "First, I guess."

"..."

First... I guess?

As if being first wasn’t enough, she seriously added a mood particle.

Brian Bonette was left with nothing to say.

Someone who can nonchalantly claim they’ll take first place in the exam at First Research Institute of Inderia—could they be an ordinary person?

After the ranks of 70-80 came out.

The scrolling screen quickly listed the ranks of 60-70.

Brian Bonette noticed that Nathalie Quinlan’s name was still absent from the ranks of 60-70. He steadied himself, quietly awaiting the release of the top 40 names.

He previously estimated Nathalie Quinlan’s results to be within the top 40. This year’s test was difficult, hopefully, the top 40 have scores reaching 90.

Ten minutes later.

The ranks of 50-60 were released as well.

As soon as the results were out, it was a mix of joy and sorrow for different families.

Some people, upon seeing their names on the list, were in agony, pulling their hair, pounding their chests, sighing in distress...

Others who hadn’t seen their names yet were extremely tense, fixated on the rankings appearing on the scrolling screen.

Afraid to see their names in the later ranks.

"This year the 51st place didn’t even reach 60 points; if we continue this calculation, wouldn’t the top 40 not even reach 90 points?"

"When I got the paper, I already felt the questions were particularly hard this year... seems like everyone feels the difficulty, ah...!"

"If the top 40 don’t even reach 90 points, then this year, half or more people will be eliminated in the first round."

"How did we get so unlucky..."

Outside the First Research Institute, the gathered crowd was watching the results.

With the scores of 50-60 released, the 51st score was only 59 points, still 1 point shy of 60, many people couldn’t sit still anymore.

Discussions were rife.

Zevaney Kingsley also saw the scores on the scrolling screen. Not seeing Nathalie Quinlan’s name, her face had slightly changed, she turned to Therry Kingsley and asked, "You solved the paper, was this year’s exam really hard?"

Speaking of this year’s exam, Therry Kingsley shed his usual confident arrogance, his expression grew solemn as he looked at her, and responded in a low voice: "The questions this year were quite hard, harder than in past years. I’m also uncertain about the last few problems on B paper."

"Even you’re uncertain?" Zevaney Kingsley was aware of Therry Kingsley’s level, if even Therry felt uncertain, she assumed most of the candidates couldn’t solve them.

She then looked at the scrolling screen.

This time around, the refresh showed ranks 40-50, Zevaney Kingsley scanned from top to bottom but still didn’t see Nathalie Quinlan’s name.

She couldn’t help but murmur, "Could she have made it into the top 40?"

James Lawrence also didn’t expect to see Nathalie Quinlan absent from the 40-50 ranks, surprised, his mood began to tighten.

He wanted to see exactly which rank Nathalie Quinlan had achieved!
