The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Chapter 330: Chapter 330: Do You Know About Nathalie Quinlan’s Direct Admission?_1

”Dudu dudu...”

The phone rang seven or eight times without an answer.

Zayn Fisher pursed his thin lips, his thick eyebrows knotted in frustration, it was obvious from the tight lines of his clenched jaw how unsettled he was feeling at the moment.

”...I’m sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later.”

No answer?

In the past, he might not have cared, if nobody answered, then nobody answered.

Ever since Ghania Quinlan went to Beijing, she had been busy with a heavy academic workload, usually unable to message or call him until night.

But this time, Zayn’s heart felt like it was being tightly bound by an invisible shackle, the more he couldn’t get through to Ghania, the more irritated he became.

So he didn’t wait for her to return his call as he would have done before.

Almost immediately, he dialed Ghania’s phone number again.

”Dudu dudu...” This time, after seven or eight rings, the call connected quickly.

The girl’s voice was tender and charming, filled with reproach and urgency, as she said, ”Hello? Zayn? Hold on a second, I’m still in class. I’ll call you back after it’s over.”

Her voice was like a gentle breeze passing through.

Zayn’s heated emotions slightly calmed, but his expression remained stern. Before she could hang up the phone, he said in a deep voice, ”I have something important to ask you.”

”But...” Ghania looked back at Ivy Wilmar, who was waiting for her to return and continue, her face showing conflict and hesitation. In the end, she still made a choice, ”Go ahead, Zayn.”

After speaking, she added anxiously, ”I still have to go to my aunt’s to practice piano, please try to be quick, I will call you back tonight.”

Zayn’s expression of anger eased somewhat as he gripped the glass on the edge of the table, ”Do you know about Nathalie being recommended for Tsinghua University?”

Ghania’s heart skipped a beat, she bit her lower lip so hard she almost broke the skin, ”Nathalie... she’s been recommended for Tsinghua University?”

Had that professor from Tsinghua really taken a liking to Nathalie that day?

But she clearly remembered her uncle mentioning that Nathalie was going to take part in the independent enrolment exams.

That meant after they left, Professor Wafford from Tsinghua hadn’t taken a liking to Nathalie after all, otherwise, why would Nathalie bother with the independent enrolment exams if she could just go straight into the clinical program?

In a short time, Ghania pondered over a lot, but what weighed on her the most was an uncontrollable jealousy surging and clinging to her heart, souring her mood instantly.

”You didn’t know?”

Ghania’s mind was filled with the matter of Nathalie’s recommendation, her response to him was absent-minded, ”I, I didn’t know.”

Zayn’s heart sank, Freddy Cagwin’s mocking words coming to mind, his face growing embarrassed, his persistence not fading as he asked again, ”You really didn’t know?”

Ghania clenched her phone tightly, feeling vaguely that something was off, yet she couldn’t quite pinpoint what it was. Biting her lip, she spoke softly, ”I didn’t know. I’ve come to Beijing with my aunt and uncle a month ago, I’ve been concentrating on my studies and haven’t been paying attention to the news from McKinney.”

Zayn of course knew she had been in Beijing with her family for a month, but what was said did not pertain to what happened after she went to Beijing. Amadeus Yancey made it very clear that when the professor from Tsinghua came to scout Nathalie, she was there at the scene!

”I thought you knew...” Zayn’s heart continued to sink, his hand gripping the cup turned white at the knuckles, filled with disappointment.

Ghania failed to detect the disappointment in his tone and thought he was just casually asking. Without thinking, she denied again, ”I didn’t know.”
