The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Chapter 830: Chapter 830: Amadeus is having a long phone call with someone?

The Hoffman Family had been sabotaged, something that was blatantly obvious.

But looking at the handiwork, it wasn’t entirely characteristic of the Zachmann Family or Amadeus Yancey. The Zachmann Family didn’t have such extensive reach, and Amadeus’s actions would never be this subtle...

The only one he could think of was that high school girl that Phoebe Hoffman had provoked!

Nathalie Quinlan.

He had looked into it, her background was exceptionally clean, a girl whose grades were mediocre but somehow got into Tsinghua University, with nothing else noteworthy.

However, from when the Red Alliance disassociated with him to the investigation of Hoffman Family’s investments, he couldn’t help but overthink and connect the two incidents.

Lincoln Hoffman stood still, watching his granddad with his mouth agape in shock, speechless.

He himself was also confused.

Could a high school student really have such great power?

...

The situation of the Hoffman Family was worse than imagined.

That phone call simply opened Pandora’s box. Afterwards, Lincoln Hoffman and Mr. Hoffman received seven or eight calls, all bringing bad news.

In just half a day, the once radiant new nobles of Beijing, the Hoffman Family, were on the verge of collapse.

Lincoln Hoffman was still okay, but Mr. Hoffman, sick as he was, started frantically seeking connections like ants on a hot pan, hitting wall after wall with very few useful leads.

Finally, it was Lincoln Hoffman who, through a convoluted trail of messages, got in touch with Sadam Vinson to get a clear picture of what the situation was with that girl from McKinney.

Outside the McKinney Villa, Audrick Zachmann had just learned the details of what happened from Alfred Garland. Garland didn’t mention The Ninth Institute or Master Cadmus, but vaguely explained the grudge between Nathalie Quinlan and Phoebe Hoffman.

Audrick Zachmann was so furious upon hearing that Phoebe Hoffman caused such trouble out of pure jealousy that he almost headed straight to the airport to go back to Beijing and deal with her.

Fortunately, Garland then told him that the hooligans had confessed and Phoebe Hoffman was now under the control of the Beijing police, with a sentencing being merely a matter of time, which barely calmed his rage.

He had just walked back with Garland,

When he saw the man on the living room sofa still on the phone.

”Hm? Who told you that?”

Audrick Zachmann walked over and casually asked, ”Amadeus, who is it? Aren’t you done yet?”

This phone call really took goddamn long!

Was Amadeus having a long phone soup session? A single call lasting damn near half an hour without end.

Amadeus Yancey simply glanced at him, didn’t mention that the earlier call was from Caryn Zachmann, and indifferently said, ”Sadam Vinson.”

The person on the phone seemed to be talking to him. He just gave Audrick a glance, then leisurely squinted his eyes, holding the phone and continued, ”There is such an incident.”

Even from a distance, Audrick could hear Sadam Vinson’s loud voice cursing on the phone, ”Fuck! Phoebe Hoffman really had someone block Nathalie? Is she sick? Is Nathalie okay, not injured?”

He referred to ”Nathalie” smoothly, which made Audrick’s lips twitch hard.

Why did he feel like the whole world was trying to take away his sister?

Alfred Garland handed him the tea he had previously prepared, interrupting his sullenness, ”Mr. Zachmann, have some tea.”

”...” Audrick Zachmann silently took the cup from his hands, feeling mixed emotions, and had just taken a sip.

When the door upstairs opened.

The girl, wearing a duckbill cap, came downstairs from the staircase, looking fresh and crisp.

Alfred was the first to see her, stepping forward excitedly, ”Ms. Quinlan, you’re down? Do you want some tea, shall I brew you a cup? Biluochun or Maofeng?”
