The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Leony Davidson pointed at Nathalie Quinlan and said indignantly, ”Aunt. You say I’m not worthy, but is she worthy for you to teach?”

Marcella Davidson wasn’t trying to put her down and tried to express her point as gently as possible, not expecting such a large reaction from Leony Davidson.

She was silent for a moment, then met Leony Davidson’s angry gaze and said calmly, ”Have you entered an 8th-level laboratory in the last three months?”

”...”

”If I remember correctly, it took you 8 years to enter an 8th-level laboratory. How many three months are there in 8 years? That’s how big the gap is between you and her.”

Marcella Davidson spoke very directly, ”What is a genius? A genius is one of the few favored by the heavens. I’m not belittling you. I’m just telling you this fact: some people are born with talents that us ordinary people don’t have.”

”And you, don’t have talent.”

You don’t have talent!

Leony Davidson felt as if she had been slapped in the face, her face turned red, almost unable to control her anger and defiance.

She stiffly said to Mrs. Davidson, ”Mom, let’s go.”

”Leony, don’t be impulsive.” Mrs. Davidson was obviously still hesitating.

Marcella Davidson’s connections surpass even the Davidson Family, and Mrs. Davidson wasn’t willing to hand them over to a stranger. She still believed that since Marcella Davidson didn’t have children, all of Marcella’s possessions should belong to her daughter.

”Are you leaving or not?” Leony Davidson, having grown up with a strong sense of competitiveness and praise from others, couldn’t swallow this humiliation. She stomped her feet and said, ”If you won’t go, I will!”

She couldn’t even be bothered to say goodbye to Marcella Davidson and Kenzie Nabours, and just left abruptly.

”Leony.” Mrs. Davidson, seeing her leave without looking back, hurried to catch up while not forgetting to smooth things over, ”Marcella, we’ll come to see you another day.”

Marcella Davidson hadn’t said anything yet.

Nathalie Quinlan discreetly blocked her way and shoved the box retrieved from Kenzie Nabours into her hands. Her eyes were sharp, tilting her lips with a rather brash tone: ”I can’t accept this gift, you take it back.”

Mrs. Davidson was annoyed but didn’t want to spoil things with Nathalie Quinlan because of Marcella Davidson’s connections. She intended to exchange some hypocritical words, but Leony Davidson was leaving so fast, she could barely see her and had to take back the box awkwardly, saying, ”Aunt will get you another present another day.”

Nathalie Quinlan returned the item to her, then shoved her hands in her pockets, exuding a casual hooligan vibe. She raised an eyebrow, speaking in a flippant tone, ”That’s not needed.”

Mrs. Davidson met her dark eyes and heard the girl’s lazy words to herself: ”We aren’t that close.”

”I also don’t accept things from strangers.”

It was clear who the stranger was!

Nathalie Quinlan almost had ’not close’ written on her face.

Mrs. Davidson’s face flushed with heat, she was, after all, a member of one of the three Great Families of Inderia and didn’t want to lose face.

She restrained herself but couldn’t bear it, picked up her belongings, and walked away quickly.

Marcella Davidson watched the two leave, tiredly apologizing to Nathalie Quinlan: ”Nathalie, I’m sorry, I didn’t expect them to act this way. Had I known, I wouldn’t have invited them.”

Wasn’t this just causing trouble?

But Marcella truly hadn’t imagined Mrs. Davidson would behave so undignifiedly. She had invited members of the Davidson Family to introduce Nathalie Quinlan to them, hoping to pave the way for her future.

”It’s nothing.” Nathalie Quinlan didn’t take this small episode to heart, comforted Marcella Davidson briefly, and then lowered her gaze to speak to Kenzie Nabours: ”Let’s go inside.”
