The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Chapter 874: Nathalie Quinlan’s Promotion Banquet

Her palms were almost raw from her nails digging in, and though she couldn’t bear it, she didn’t dare talk back to Myles Sullivan. Silently, she closed her eyes as tears rolled down.

Nathalie Quinlan was truly an indestructible calamity!

...

In the living room, Ghania Quinlan was weeping softly.

Myles Sullivan, however, was too angry to pay attention to her.

Ivy Wilmar didn’t want to pay attention either, sitting there and continuously rolling her eyes.

Only Jeff Quinlan and Emilia Sullivan truly felt heartbroken for her, yet it wasn’t appropriate for them to step in and say anything.

Eventually, it was Jeff Quinlan who sensed the atmosphere in the room freezing over and changed the subject, speaking softly, "By the way, have you received Nathalie’s academic promotion party invitation?"

"Nathalie is having an academic promotion party?" Myles Sullivan heard this for the first time. After his surprise, he lifted his eyelids to glance at Ghania Quinlan, who stood there crying, and grew even more agitated, "No, I didn’t receive it."

"She didn’t send you an invitation?" Jeff Quinlan was extremely surprised.

Ivy Wilmar grabbed her phone and smoothed her hair, speaking sarcastically, "You don’t actually think the invitations you received were sent by Nathalie, do you?"

"What do you mean?" Jeff Quinlan looked at her, clueless. "If not Nathalie, who sent them?"

"Hmph." Ivy Wilmar scoffed disdainfully, "That cub Nathalie would rather cut ties with us and deny knowing anyone. How could she possibly send you an invitation? I heard about the invitation too, it’s organized by the Zachmann Family. Mr. Zachmann wants to throw Nathalie a promotion party. Many people in Beijing have received the Zachmann Family’s invitation. Mr. Zachmann probably wants to take this opportunity to acknowledge his kin, showing Nathalie to everyone in Beijing, telling everyone that they have found the bloodline of their family... The invitation you received must have been sent by Mr. Zachmann."

The reason Mr. Zachmann sent Jeff Quinlan and Emilia Sullivan the invitation was probably not just to invite them for a meal. When Nathalie was with the Quinlan Family, how blatantly Jeff Quinlan and Emilia Sullivan favored her over Ghania had not been lost on the old gentleman. As for why he still would send Jeff Quinlan an invitation, it probably implied a setting to seek a battleground for Nathalie.

To show the Quinlan Family that the girl they once deemed worthless was now someone they couldn’t even aspire to reach!

Mr. Zachmann’s move was lethal and hit straight to the heart.

However, despite Mr. Zachmann’s good intentions, the Zachmann Family had its own internal sabotage.

Ivy Wilmar mentioned this with a beaming smile, her pent-up mood lifting significantly as she chuckled softly, "I heard that on the day of the Zachmann Family’s kin recognition banquet, Caryn Zachmann won’t be returning. She ’just so happens’ to be involved in a very important medical experiment with her teacher Adelle Wafford and doesn’t have time for a meal..."

Tsk, if there was a will, what sort of important experiment would be busy enough to not even spare a moment for a meal.

To put it plainly, she’s not welcoming this cousin from McKinney.

Ms. Zachmann simply looks down on her.

Ivy Wilmar, enjoying the drama, spoke with sarcasm to everyone in a low voice, "Besides Caryn Zachmann not attending, many people Mr. Zachmann invited won’t be there. After all... a girl from McKinney isn’t seen as significant enough in Beijing for people to go out of their way to attend the meal. I predict, Mr. Zachmann’s kin recognition banquet is destined to be ’very quiet’ indeed!"

Zachmann Family.

Mr. Zachmann was also troubled by this matter. He had just finished a phone call with an ally of the Zachmann Family, put down the phone, and his smile gradually faded.

Tossing the phone on the table, he raised his hand to press at the center of his forehead, looking irritated.

Leonardy Zachmann had been making phone calls outside as well. Having just finished, he came in, approached him, and seeing his father’s troubled expression, he hesitated for a moment before saying quietly, "Dad, the Kingsleys Family can’t make it either, they said they have to visit relatives that day. I have contacted everyone I could, only two or three people are available that day. How about on your side?"
