The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Chapter 1009: Chapter 1009: The Quinlan Family must spit out everything they have swallowed!

Amadeus Yancey also saw the text message on Nathalie Quinlan’s phone. He only caught a glimpse of part of it with the corner of his eye, didn’t see the whole thing, but he could guess from his toes what the sender might have said—it would hardly be anything nice.

His gaze was fairly cold, but he didn’t say anything, nor did he ask Nathalie who sent the message.

He just quietly blanched another piece of tripe for the girl and put it in her bowl, then leisurely leaned back in his chair, looking lazy and aloof, casually rotating the Buddhist beads on his wrist, appearing every bit the refined and elegant young master. However, Alfred Garland could clearly feel the chilly air around him.

Who has riled up Amadeus this time?

Outside Capital City Hospital.

Just as Jeff Quinlan came out from visiting Ghania Quinlan in her hospital room, he saw Emilia Sullivan messaging someone.

He frowned and walked over: ”What are you doing?”

No sooner had he asked than Emilia Sullivan immediately hid her phone behind her back, not daring to look at him, and uneasily said, ”Nothing, it’s nothing.”

Jeff Quinlan, having been through many a business battle, instantly guessed something and twisted his brows tightly. With a serious expression, he grabbed her hand to stop her from leaving: ”Are you messaging Nathalie? Haven’t I told you not to send messages to Nathalie? With things having gotten to this point, why are you still sending messages?”

Emilia Sullivan’s eyes were already swollen from crying. She had rushed over on the first available airplane after receiving a phone call from Myles Sullivan. But seeing with her own eyes the tragic state of Ghania Quinlan lying in the hospital bed, she still couldn’t accept it and had nearly fainted from crying several times. Now, hearing Jeff Quinlan questioning her, she looked at him with red, tear-swollen eyes, finding an outlet for her emotions and hysterically whispered, ”Why can’t I message her? After she has harmed Ghania like this, is she even human?!”

Jeff Quinlan has only one daughter, and seeing Ghania in such a state, his heart was equally in pain, but he was somewhat more rational than Emilia Sullivan.

”Ghania was in the wrong first.”

”So because she was wrong first, she can treat Ghania like this, can find people to ruin Ghania’s hands? Didn’t you hear what Ivy Wilmar said? She not only had someone create a car accident to try to kill Ghania, but she also brought over Master Steven, ruining Ghania’s opportunity to study abroad. Tell me what she wants! She wants Ghania to be driven to a dead end!”

Emilia Sullivan, full of anger, gritted her teeth and said, ”Back then, if our family hadn’t adopted her, could she have made connections with Silvania Ingram, could she have climbed up to Pinecone Group? Her rise to where she is today has all been by stepping on our family’s connections, and now this ingrate is trying to trample Ghania down, for what reason...”

”That’s enough!” Jeff Quinlan was getting a headache from the noise and raised his voice: ”Have you said enough? Things aren’t as you imagine, Pinecone Group and our family...”

He had only gotten halfway through his sentence when he received a call from a Beijing number.

Emilia Sullivan had to suppress her anger and dissatisfaction for the moment and wait for him to take the call.

It was unclear what the person on the other end was saying, but Jeff Quinlan’s face grew uglier and paler with each passing moment. Initially, he managed to reply a few times, but later it seemed he was rendered speechless by the other person, and he ended the call in silence.

Emilia Sullivan, who had been preoccupied with Ghania’s matter, was startled by his grave expression. She furrowed her brow and hurriedly asked, ”Jeff, what happened?”

Jeff Quinlan turned mechanically to look at her, then glanced at Myles Sullivan not far away smoking, and Ivy Wilmar, who stood silent by his side, and finally retracted his gaze to speak with difficulty: ”Pinecone Group is demanding to recall the penalty fee from our previous construction fund.”
