Chapter 29: Chapter 29: The Quinlan Family’s Recent Rise to Prominence_1

Nathalie Quinlan’s eyes widened with surprise.

She took out a pack and checked it; it was a brand commonly used by girls.

Were these sanitary pads also prepared by him for herself?

How did Amadeus Yancey figure out that her stomach was uncomfortable and that her period was about to start?

Nathalie always considered her tolerance above average and couldn’t fathom how he had noticed. It seemed the only time she felt abdominal pain was when she helped save someone, and she rubbed her lower abdomen briefly—was it that small gesture he had picked up on?

”...”

Nathalie took out all the sanitary pads and picked a hoodie from inside the cabinet before closing its door.

After changing clothes, Nathalie took out her laptop from her single shoulder bag and placed it on her desk.

She didn’t know the specifications of her computer, but it started up without any lag—booting up instantly.

As soon as she powered on, a hidden Line group sent her a message.

[Lowie Wilmar: Nathalie, the medicine has been sold; the price reached a new high this time. Since you’ve got so much medication, why not buy a couple more next month?]

[Lowie Wilmar: I’ve transferred the money to your account, check it out.]

[Lowie Wilmar: Oh, and one more thing. The person who came to you for treatment offered to help you with something in addition to paying money, anything that’s not beyond the legal limit! That person has a Beijing background. Maybe you should consider it?]

Nathalie’s eyes were cold and irritable at the corners, and her pupils were very dark as her pale fingers flew across the keyboard.

[QN: Not interested.]

”Ding ding.”

Nathalie had just closed the chat window when another message popped up.

She rubbed her temples, irritated, and opened the message.

It was still from Lowie Wilmar.

[Lowie Wilmar: You finally logged on. I thought you weren’t going to use the computer at all today.]

[Lowie Wilmar: I’ve told the Quinlan Family that after completing the last project, we’re done and won’t cooperate with them again.]

[Lowie Wilmar: Actually, they never had the credentials to work with me. You raised them to a level they didn’t deserve, and they got so arrogant, thinking themselves formidable and trying every possible way to push you out. Let them see what the Quinlan Family amounts to without you.]

Nathalie leaned back in her chair, her gaze still and detached as she watched the flickering screen, not replying to the messages for a long time.

The Quinlan Family used to have a modest fortune, but their real rise to success was only in the recent years...

...

At the Quinlan Family residence this moment.

Jeff Quinlan had just finished a phone call with Ghania’s homeroom teacher, informing her that Ghania would be recommended for admission to National Artists University after the college entrance exam.

”Is that so? That’s just wonderful. Such good news! National Artists University is one of the best art schools, and with Ghania Quinlan studying there, a bright future is expected!”

Having a student enter a prestigious university without taking the college entrance exam was certainly pleasing to the teacher, who kept complimenting Jeff Quinlan profusely over the phone.

”Mr. Quinlan is truly blessed to have such a well-behaved and sensible daughter. Ghania is also the top student in our class, and many of her classmates see her as their role model. I’ll share this great news at the morning assembly when school starts tomorrow.”

Jeff Quinlan had maintained his appearance well, thanks to his wealth, and with the recent years of business doing well without any stress, his face showed no fine lines despite being in his forties, giving off the air of a successful man.

He smiled slightly at the teacher’s compliments, his eyes and brows animated, and then he said suddenly, ”Oh, by the way, Ms. Cagwin, there’s something else I’d like to ask of you...”

Gabriella Cagwin agreed readily, ”Mr. Quinlan, just say the word. Ghania is one of my proudest students. If there’s any way I can help, I’ll certainly do it.”
