The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Frankly admitting what I’ve done: ”Indeed, I did find someone to handle Nathalie Quinlan’s father. One, I wanted to teach her a lesson—who told her to be so presumptuous at the Zachmann Family last time? Secondly, I also have selfish motives; I believe her reaching this point and the current ugly situation with the Kingsleys Family have something to do with the Zachmann Family’s failure in education!”

”Stanley Zachmann clearly had a promising talent in hand but failed to educate her, leading to her current arrogance and lawlessness. That’s why I took the initiative to teach him a lesson!”

”Hmm.” Lynn Kingsley neither affirmed nor opposed his actions, merely said, ”Uncle, your hand has stretched too far.”

Such a simple statement.

Everyone in the Kingsleys Family changed their expressions, instinctively looking at Lynn Kingsley and Hansel Kingsley.

Hansel Kingsley, who is rarely disrespected in public like this, blushed slightly on his old face, his breath heavier, clenching a fist under the table, but in front of Lynn Kingsley, he actually refrained from expressing his dissatisfaction, only keeping a stern face and saying nothing.

”What does the Clan Chief plan to do with me?”

Lynn Kingsley glanced at him lightly, seemingly somewhat regretful, placed the teacup on the table, and said slowly, ”Uncle, you are my elder and have worked tirelessly for the Kingsleys Family all your life. As a junior, I can’t say how to deal with you. As the elder in charge of family punishment, how do you think the things you’ve done recently should be dealt with?”

”...” Hansel Kingsley had not yet spoken.

He reminded him mildly again, ”Uncle, the black powder formula of the Kingsleys Family is still out there.”

This was undoubtedly a double entendre!

The black powder formula and the genius of the direct-line descent of the Kingsleys Family are both out there, and Hansel Kingsley’s arrogance is not without blame for all this.

Lynn Kingsley was giving him face while reminding him!

Hansel Kingsley opened his mouth, his old face showed a bit of dejection, and he said, ”I am willing to be confined for a year.”

A year of confinement is not much, but this time, after Hansel Kingsley’s confinement, his status in the Kingsleys Family would significantly decline.

Lynn Kingsley, however, smiled, his deep brown eyes gazing at him, showing no emotion: ”Uncle, you should also take a good rest now. How about this, you no longer need to worry about the Punishment Hall. You can just stay home and take care of your health, how about it?”

Hansel Kingsley was left speechless.

He sat there motionless for a long time, unable to recover.

He never thought that Lynn Kingsley’s punishment would be so severe, directly stripping him of all his powers and effectively expelling him from the primary members of the Kingsleys Family, making him go home for reflection.

He had merely acted against Stanley Zachmann.

A bumpkin who wasn’t even from Inderia!

Did he really have to bear such severe consequences?

Hansel Kingsley was just about to open his mouth to defend himself but, upon meeting the man’s brown eyes filled with indifference and authority, swallowed back all his words, sinking weakly into the chair with twitching facial muscles, managing to squeeze out, ”I accept the punishment.”

Lynn Kingsley merely glanced at him blandly, then scanned the crowd in the living room, smiled slightly, and asked nonchalantly, ”And you all, do you have any opinions?”

In this situation, who would dare have an opinion?

Everyone shook their heads, indicating no objection.

One person gathered the courage to ask, ”Clan Chief, will Nathalie accept our outcome? What if she still wants to keep entangling?”
