The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Chapter 1448: Chapter 1448: Has No Interest in Caryn Zachmann at All

Evelyn Quarles glanced at Caryn, whom she once looked down on but now admired with endless glamour, sneered, clenched her palm, and reluctantly replied to Ellen Quarles, ”Aunt, I’ll come find you later.”

”Okay.”

Ellen had no time to talk to her privately and was quickly surrounded by others again.

Evelyn clenched the hand hanging by her side, looked disdainfully at Caryn being surrounded in the center, turned her head, and walked away without looking back.

...

The Quarles Family’s influence mainly lies overseas, but this does not affect Ellen’s own status and influence.

As a member of the Quarles Family,

she is a unique presence within the family.

Even the head of the Quarles Family, Charles Quarles, has to give her face, not for anything else, just because Ellen married into a certain royal family in Inderia.

Her husband is the third in line to the royal succession, and she herself has been granted the title of Countess.

None of these are key points.

The key point is that these royal families have always had intricate relations with places like Inderia and the Illegal Zone, and the forces behind them cannot be underestimated.

Caryn being able to climb onto Ellen’s upper echelons is absolutely considered a leap.

Including this time.

Caryn’s entry into the Pharmaceutical Association was also due to Ellen pulling strings and leveraging numerous connections to successfully get Caryn in.

Relying solely on herself, Caryn would never qualify to enter such a place as the Pharmaceutical Association.

It is precisely for this reason.

The Zachmann Family treats Ellen with utmost ceremoniousness, Hendrik Zachmann accompanying her the entire time, and introducing numerous Beijing connections to Ellen.

Ellen also gave him enough face, showing a very affectionate attitude towards Caryn throughout.

Of course, Caryn was flattered, speaking cautiously to Ellen, fearful of not performing well enough and failing to win the favor of this prestigious godmother.

After talking with Ellen for a while, she told Ellen, ”Godmother, I’ll go prepare first, you can continue chatting.”

The preparation she mentioned referred to the piano performance.

For this recognition banquet, Caryn had long planned to showcase her skills before Ellen, so she agreed with Ellen to perform a piano piece for her.

At this moment, she stood up and brought up the subject of playing the piano.

Ellen immediately patted her hand gently and said warmly, ”I’ve heard that you play the piano very well and have won international awards. I wasn’t even winning awards at your age, and for you to have these accomplishments at such a young age is impressive.”

”Then I’ll be waiting for you.”

Basking in the praise, Caryn lowered her head quickly, yet could not conceal the pride in her features. ”Mm.”

She then mentioned it to Leonardy Zachmann and Celine Tucker before leaving.

On the other side.

Nathalie Quinlan first arrived at the location Khendy Lordon had sent her, inquiring with the waiter to confirm that it was indeed reserved by someone named Mr. Khendy.

She pulled out the chair by the window and sat down, ordering a glass of lemon water.

The waiter quickly brought the lemon water over.

Nathalie drank the water and played on her phone while waiting for the others.

It wasn’t until she finished the entire glass of lemon water that neither Valencia Jett nor Khendy Lordon had arrived.

She checked the time.

11:45 AM.

There were still fifteen minutes until the agreed time of noon.

Feeling a bit impatient, Nathalie stood up, picked up her phone, and intended to make a quick trip to the restroom.

She put on a Duckbill Cap, pulling the brim down, and as she walked, she sent Valencia a message, telling her she was stepping away temporarily.

The Imperial Hotel was vast, with understated yet tasteful decor.

After sending the text to Valencia, Nathalie put her phone back in her pocket, leisurely heading toward the restroom.
