The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Chapter 1454: Chapter 1454: Nothing But Regret

Caryn brought up Nathalie Quinlan at this moment: ”I think Nathalie is really close to him. She could have solved it with just one word earlier, yet she didn’t say a word.”

Hendrik Zachmann remained silent. He was well aware of why Nathalie didn’t speak up for him.

They were unkind first, questioning someone without evidence about why they appeared at the Imperial Hotel, so he had no face to blame Nathalie for not speaking up for him afterward.

Hendrik exhaled a breath of turbid air and said softly, ”This isn’t her fault. I’ll think of another way.”

Caryn’s eyebrows twitched slightly, wanting to say something more.

Seeing that Hendrik didn’t want to bring it up again, she could only forcibly suppress the frustration in her heart, her face not looking good.

Nathalie had agreed to meet someone for dinner at the Imperial Hotel. So who broke her things?

...

With such a farce in the middle, everyone was a bit absent-minded.

Leonardy Zachmann arranged for the guests to go inside and eat.

Earlier, the two colleagues from Maybelissa that Hendrik invited had witnessed him offending the big boss. Without any hesitation, they immediately found an excuse to decline, unwilling to save face and stay.

Leonardy also knew that in this situation, it was impossible to keep them.

Instead of forcing them to stay, it was better to politely let them leave and retain some dignity.

He didn’t overly insist on keeping Hendrik’s two colleagues, sending them off at the door before returning, his mind already in turmoil with the unexpected situation before him.

The Zachmann Family’s Grandma Bernard Ingram still grabbed him, inquiring about the situation just now: ”Second brother, who was that person just now, what was the situation, is he Hendrik’s boss? How does Nathalie know him? You just said Hendrik was fired, is it true?”

Leonardy was almost driven mad by the questions, maintaining a stern face as he looked at her solemnly: ”Grandma, what exactly do you want to ask?”

Bernard released her grip somewhat awkwardly: ”It’s nothing, I’m just curious how Nathalie could know Hendrik’s boss. I heard Hendrik’s boss is quite a significant figure. Nathalie, she has always lived in McKinney and hasn’t even been to Beijing, how could she know such a person?”

”I don’t know.” Leonardy replied expressionlessly, numbly: ”In any case, things are just as you saw. I don’t know anything else, asking me is useless.”

Bernard was left speechless by his response.

”I still need to attend to the guests, you take care of yourself.” Not wanting to waste time with her, Leonardy hurriedly went inside.

Watching him hastily leave, Bernard’s heart sank: ”How does Nathalie know that kind of person? Isn’t Room One always less accomplished than Room Two?”

Only her eldest son stood behind her, who shook his head, still clueless: ”All the family relatives think Room One’s family isn’t up to standard.”

”You can see from Hendrik’s earlier reaction that the person with Nathalie is extraordinary, definitely not on the same level as the Zachmann Family.” Bernard, feeling increasingly heavy-hearted, regretfully said to her son: ”Am I being too hasty, thinking I’ve sided with the wrong person, that Caryn isn’t as capable as Nathalie?”

Her eldest son was silent for a few seconds before finally consoling her: ”Mom, maybe you’re overthinking. What just happened was just an accident. Didn’t Hendrik say he could still find a connection to smooth things over? I heard that the Pharmaceutical Association will be sending someone to congratulate later, only a few left...”

Bernard furrowed her brow tightly, gripping the cane harder: ”You said the Pharmaceutical Association?”

Her mind raced as she realized she actually regretted handling things too harshly, her face turning sallow: ”...Hopefully, hopefully, we didn’t choose the wrong person.”

But she already felt she had chosen the wrong person.
