The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Chapter 889: The First Wave of Face Slap

Inside the banquet hall on the third floor of the Imperial Hotel for Nathalie Quinlan’s educational advancement banquet.

Govert Griffin and Sadam Vinson, Brian Bonette, and others were at a table, which included everyone except Brian Bonette and people like Wallace Radcliff.

Originally, Govert Griffin came to eat with some intention of doing Sadam Vinson a favor, and he knew there wouldn’t be many people attending today, but as more and more people entered, he started to feel uneasy sitting there, both astonished and surprised, and at the same time, somewhat relieved that he had immediately said he had time when Sadam Vinson asked and took time out of his day to come today.

He stared at the entrance, watching as Candice Yancey and Mr. Yancey, as well as members of the Wilmar Family and Stephanie Tanzil, entered one after another.

Three of the four top families in Beijing who stand at the apex of the social pyramid had come, only the Sullivan Family had not sent anyone. The Sullivan Family was somewhat weaker compared to these three, and while politely referred to as the "Great Families," it wouldn’t be nice to say that they are overshadowed by the other three.

Whether Myles Sullivan came or not, actually didn’t matter much.

At least, it didn’t affect the prestige of Ms. Quinlan’s educational advancement banquet.

"Mr. Vinson, you didn’t tell me that Ms. Quinlan’s educational advancement banquet would have so many attendees," Govert Griffin said, restless as if sitting on pins and needles, mainly because the number of attendees was not particularly high, but each of them had significant influence that made him extremely nervous.

Sadam Vinson was not surprised to see Candice Yancey enter, but when he saw the spiritually vibrant Mr. Yancey dressed in a traditional mandarin gown, he was not so composed anymore.

Looking after Silvania Ingram and the Ingram Family, Owen Yapiter, as well as Lowie Wilmar and Stephanie Tanzil seen by Govert Griffin, the corner of his lips twitched, and his usually carefree face darkened as he pressed his lips together and said, "I didn’t even know some of these people would come. What could I possibly tell you?"

He wasn’t surprised that Mrs. Yancey would come, nor that Mr. Yancey would show up to support Nathalie’s banquet.

Including Lowie Wilmar, the Wilmar Family owed Nathalie a favor, so it was normal for them to show up.

But who told him what’s going on with Owen Yapiter and Silvania Ingram?

Wasn’t Silvania Ingram estranged from the Beijing Ingram Family? They hadn’t been in contact for over a decade, and now they walked in shoulder to shoulder and sat together at Nathalie’s educational banquet—can someone explain this situation to him?

Did Nathalie’s minor educational banquet really have such allure?

He, for one, remembered that Amadeus had no real relation with the Pinecone Group and usually had no dealings with them.

So, for whom did Silvania Ingram and Owen Yapiter come?

Nathalie Quinlan?

"..." Thinking of this, the corners of Sadam Vinson’s mouth twitched again, somewhat surprised yet feeling that he shouldn’t be so surprised.

Initially, he too thought Nathalie Quinlan was just a high school student from McKinney who ended up smack in the face of reality.

But this... how on earth did Amadeus find such a ’little sister’? She was too powerful—her connections were no worse than his!

Sadam Vinson had not yet seen Jaycent Kingsley enter.

Just then, Govert Griffin nudged him lightly with his elbow and whispered, "Mr. Vinson, Ms. Zachmann is mentioning you again in the group."

Sadam Vinson frowned, his face showing impatience as he took out his Phone, conveniently missing the sight of Jaycent Kingsley entering.

He checked the group.

Caryn Zachmann was particularly active.

The atmosphere in the group was good, with most people chatting about getting together in the afternoon for fun.

Just like Govert Griffin said, Caryn Zachmann had mentioned him again and posted a Message in the group.

[Mr. Vinson, 2:30 this afternoon at the Sernant Club, do you have time? @Sadam Vinson]

Quite annoyed, he scrolled up to the point where Caryn Zachmann first mentioned him and saw that Govert Griffin had replied for him below, saying he didn’t have time.
