The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Chapter 1273: Chapter 1273: Receiving a phone call from Mr. Zachmann

Leonardy Zachmann was neither good nor bad to her; at least during the McKinney family gathering, he gave her a Citibank Gold Card.

It wasn’t much money.

At least it was a gesture from an elder.

Although Nathalie Quinlan returned the money to Leonardy Zachmann later, she kept his kind gesture in her heart.

Valencia Jett saw that Nathalie Quinlan didn’t answer immediately, smiled again, and continued, ”After all, it’s just a batch of raw materials. It doesn’t matter who we give it to, we could just as well give it to Zachmann Group.”

Nathalie Quinlan had a complete diamond mining line under her, JC Group would never run short of raw materials; diamonds would only continue to be mined endlessly.

Just as she said, for them, this was just another batch of raw materials.

With JC Group’s status in the jewelry industry, they could cooperate with anyone they wanted, and no one would dare criticize their partners.

But if Zachmann Family could secure this batch of raw materials, their status within the industry would surely rise alongside, setting them on a new level!

This is the reason why Zachmann Family, knowing the chances were slim, still did their utmost to secure this cooperation deal with JC Group.

JC is currently one of the largest diamond suppliers in the world; who wouldn’t want to associate with JC?

Nathalie Quinlan frowned, not speaking. Her gaze was quite deep, seemingly still contemplating.

At that moment, the phone she had placed on the table suddenly rang.

Nathalie Quinlan glanced at the caller ID.

It was her father calling.

She pressed her lips together, leaned back lazily, and answered, ”Hello, Dad, what’s up?”

Valencia Jett, hearing her address her dad, twitched her brows slightly, wisely staying silent, sitting across from Nathalie and waiting for her to finish the phone call.

Stanley Zachmann, as always, asked with a concerned tone, ”Nathalie, where are you?”

”Hmm?”

Nathalie Quinlan looked somewhat puzzled, glanced at Valencia Jett seated across from her, but still patiently replied, ”I’m outside, with a friend.”

Valencia Jett, looking quite smart in a black vest, was originally sipping a drink; suddenly being addressed nearly made her instinctively say ’hello uncle.’

The words were at the tip of her tongue, but she remembered that Nathalie hadn’t turned on the speaker, and her abrupt greeting might startle Mr. Zachmann.

She silently swallowed back the ’hello uncle,’ focused on drinking her juice.

...

Stanley Zachmann heard the girl say in a voice just like usual that she was outside having fun with a friend.

He hesitated a moment, then gently asked, ”Are you at the Serenity Clubhouse?”

Nathalie Quinlan, initially relaxed and unconcerned with the call, hearing this question from Stanley Zachmann, her gaze turned slightly cold, and she curtly replied, ”Who told you I’m at Serenity Clubhouse?”

Between a niece and a daughter, Stanley Zachmann would almost unconditionally stand by Nathalie’s side without hesitation, saying, ”It was Hendrik and his group, Caryn arranged a get-together through Master Cadmus’s laboratory’s initial review, and they said they saw you at the Serenity Clubhouse. One of your classmates with them mentioned... you went with someone in a red sports car.”

Someone in a red sports car?

Nathalie Quinlan’s eyes were quite cold. Even though Stanley Zachmann tactfully didn’t mention the gender, she could guess what the Zachmann siblings said to her dad with just a little bit of thought.

— She went with a man in a red sports car!
