The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Chapter 262: Chapter 262: Exposing Her in Public_1

Amadeus Yancey short on money?

Nathalie Quinlan thought about it carefully.

From the first time she saw Amadeus Yancey, he had always been with Audrick Zachmann, living in Zachmann’s house, driving Zachmann’s Phaeton car, but to say Amadeus Yancey was short on money, she really didn’t believe it!

Not to mention anything else.

Just the rare material resource Amadeus Yancey had in his hands wasn’t something a person short on money would possess!

Then there’s Edric’s grandmother, Candice Yancey. The day she went to the hospital, she tried to stuff a bank card into her hand, immediately offering ten million.

The Quinlan family, let alone coming up with ten million, even if asked to come up with one million to compensate the little guy, it would cost them their lives.

Nathalie Quinlan’s expression was indifferent, not picking up his line: ”Money, I have plenty.”

”I just want Ghania Quinlan’s leg.”

”Murder for life, debt for money, it’s only natural!”

Seeing that playing the sympathy card got him nowhere, Jeff Quinlan immediately changed his tactic, smiling meaningfully, ”So what you mean is that you’re determined to pin the person in that video on Ghania? Then I have something to say too. Your cut-and-splice video, with no idea where it came from, won’t be recognized by the court. Ghania also just said that she doesn’t know where your video came from. You say your video is real. I think your video is Photoshopped because... well...”

”It’s simple. You’re jealous Ghania has been better than you from childhood, more loved by those around her. She was recommended to National Artists University and the songs she wrote have won awards. Just at this time, a child from a friend of yours accidentally fell down the stairs, you couldn’t find the culprit immediately and conveniently, Ghania had visited the hospital that day, so you pinned everything on her. You know that just your own suspicions aren’t enough, so you colluded with your friends to fabricate such a video to slander her...”

He smiled at Nathalie Quinlan, ”You see, I’m making sense. I can say it too.”

Dressed in a suit, Jeff Quinlan’s well-maintained and sharp face looked shrewd and capable, eyes that had long since become cunning from years in the business world.

He may look respectable on the outside, but whether he is human beneath that skin is another matter.

Nathalie Quinlan originally just planned to settle the matter about Edric with her, but upon hearing Jeff Quinlan’s shameless sophistry, she raised an eyebrow and counter-asked him, ”Finished speaking?”

”...” Seeing her reaction was slightly off, Jeff Quinlan’s heart skipped a beat.

Nathalie Quinlan glanced at him, then turned to the girl still pretending to be pitiful beside him.

”You say I’m jealous of Ghania winning awards and I’m framing her?”

Jeff Quinlan looked into her eyes and retorted, ”Isn’t that the case?”

”Ghania just won one of the most prestigious piano awards in the country, and her ranking was so high, it’s normal for you to be jealous of her,” he added.

Nathalie Quinlan smiled, ”Yeah, if the award was genuinely hers, according to your reasoning, it would indeed make sense. But what if the award she got was actually stolen...”

The room erupted into murmurs.

”What do you mean? The piece Ghania won the award for wasn’t written by her?”

”No way, right?”

”The Quinlan family has been bragging about Ghania’s award to anyone who would listen, if it turns out to be stolen that would be a joke.”

”...”

Ghania’s whole body tensed; the thing she feared most had arrived. Almost reflexively, she gritted her teeth, and under the gaze of the entire room, she mustered an angry expression, ”Don’t go too far. That piece was written by myself!”

Nathalie Quinlan lifted her eyelids, her dark and bright pupils questioning her, ”Hmm, are you sure that’s a piano piece?”
