The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Chapter 560: It’s Not Certain Who is Slapping Whom_1

Only Zayn Fisher’s family was on her invitation list.

Ghania Quinlan thought that Derliand Gober would also come, and didn’t want her university acceptance celebration to seem too low-end. She thus instructed Emilia Sullivan, "About Grandma Tucker... Mom, could you ask Grandma to help me extend an invitation? After all, it’s my celebration, and I really hope she can attend."

In McKinney, where influential figures were known, the only family they could establish a connection with was Adelia Tucker’s.

The Tucker family was not on par with the Zachmann family.

But they were still one of the top families in McKinney.

Ghania still wanted to invite them to back her up.

"This..." Emilia Sullivan hesitated, not because she didn’t want to invite the Tuckers. With a family as established as theirs, having Adelia Tucker attend Ghania’s university acceptance celebration would certainly bring Emilia face.

However, due to the mishap at Ghania’s last birthday party, they had already troubled the Tucker family. At that time, Adelia had already indicated that she wanted to limit contact with their family. Although she didn’t explicitly cut ties, reaching out again to invite them would be quite shameless.

But since her daughter wanted to invite the Tucker family, even if Emilia found it difficult, she immediately agreed, "Alright, I’ll talk to your grandma about it, and we’ll try to get Grandma Tucker to come to your celebration!"

"Mm."

Ghania didn’t care about whether they would swallow their pride to ask for favors. After achieving her goal, she hummed with satisfaction, put down her glass, and prepared to return to her room.

Just when she was about to leave, Emilia Sullivan, seemingly struck by a sudden inspiration or maybe after long consideration, suddenly said, "Oh right, there’s someone else I want to invite."

"Who is it?" Ghania initially didn’t care and casually said, "Mom, invite whoever you want. It’s not like we’re short a person or two."

"She’s different!"

Emilia Sullivan lifted her chin, unable to hide the pride and scorn on her face as she whispered, "I want to invite Nathalie Quinlan to your university acceptance celebration."

The paper in Ghania’s hand was almost crumpled by her grip.

"Nathalie Quinlan?"

Emilia Sullivan was unaware that Nathalie had been admitted to Tsinghua University and disdainfully said, "Yes. Didn’t she always try to overshadow you before and even caused you to lose your guaranteed spot at National Artists University? Now that you have been successfully accepted into Tsinghua and she didn’t make it, how nice it would be to have her join the dinner. It’s the perfect opportunity to let her see who is the crow and who is the phoenix! Whether our Quinlan family treated her badly or if she herself is just useless mud that doesn’t stick to the wall..."

"..."

Ghania didn’t have the heart to listen to her, seeing her mother’s excited state. She opened her mouth, a complicated look in her eyes, but couldn’t bring herself to tell her what had happened that afternoon.

All of them thought Nathalie had failed to get accepted, but who knew she had scored 650, a perfect score!

Not only had she been admitted, but according to Zeus Tanzil, Tsinghua University had delayed making the scores public to prevent other schools from poaching Nathalie!!

For Ghania, the situation couldn’t be more humiliating; there was no way she would want Nathalie to attend her university acceptance celebration.

If Nathalie really showed up, it likely wouldn’t be a display of their triumph but rather an occasion for them to be looked upon as if they were fools.

Just like earlier that afternoon in the Japanese restaurant, when Justin Wafford and his group had looked at her in just that way!

Ghania felt troubled and agitated.

Fortunately, at this moment, Jeff Quinlan overheard Emilia Sullivan’s words and called out to her in dissatisfaction, "Enough, Ghania getting into university is a good thing. Why make it so everyone ends up unhappy at the event?"

"I think you’re protecting that Nathalie Quinlan..."

"I’m not protecting her, I just feel since everyone has already made their feelings known, there’s no need to dwell on it. You’ve raised her for over a decade, why insist on making her out to be an enemy!"

As the two of them argued back and forth, Ghania took the opportunity to say to Emilia Sullivan, "Mom, I’m going to head back to my room."
