The Unveiling of Secret Queen

The Intercontinental Hotel’s banquet hall had about thirty tables, each one filled to capacity.

This showed how much Kenzie Nabours and Marcella Davidson valued this event.

At the main table.

Caleb Dax and Lynn Kingsley were seated together.

Although the Kingsleys Family usually had no dealings with the Pharmaceutical Association, everyone belonged to Inderia, and they all knew each other.

So Lynn Kingsley politely greeted the other party: ”Mr. Dax, long time no see. Aren’t you usually settled in Mundania? We’ve invited you to many banquets before, but you never had the time to come. How come you made the effort to come this time?”

The Kingsleys received an invitation letter from Marcella Davidson.

However, even Marcella hadn’t told her own family, and the Kingsleys only had as much information as Mrs. Davidson and the rest of them had found.

The person’s surname was Qiao.

Lynn’s gaze drifted, subtly landing on Nicholas Fuller at the neighboring table.

Nicholas wasn’t looking their way; he was chatting with Violetta Hoffman, and from time to time, someone would come over, wine glass in hand, to greet Nicholas...

Lynn withdrew his line of sight, his composed and scholarly face showing no excess emotions, yet his eyes narrowed slightly as if in thought.

Caleb Dax was not well acquainted with him, but in such a social setting, he still maintained his basic politeness, touching his tea cup with a slight smile: ”Mr. Kingsley, you’re too kind. I’m amazed you still remember this old timer of no consequence. I didn’t come specifically for this; I just happened to have some matters to attend to in Inderia. A friend heard about it and invited me for a meal. Before coming, I didn’t expect there’d be so many people today; she told me it was just a casual meal.”

Lynn squinted his eyes again, making no comment.

Caleb mentioned Nathalie Quinlan with evident fondness, his smile deepening, and said, ”I knew long ago today was her recognition banquet, so I prepared a gift for her. But I was in such a hurry, I didn’t bring a gift, so I’ll have to make it up to her next time.”

Lynn already had his suspicions in his heart, and looking at him, he asked, ”Mr. Dax, the person you’re talking about is... Nathalie Quinlan?”

Caleb, having lived in Mundania for years, wasn’t well-informed about external matters.

He seldom returned to Inderia and naturally didn’t know the recent events in Inderia, including the conflict between Nathalie and the Kingsleys.

When he heard Lynn bring up Nathalie’s name, his eyes visibly showed surprise: ”Mr. Kingsley, you know her too?”

Lynn slightly lowered his eyelids to hide the emotions in his dark brown eyes, nodded, and laughed softly, admitting readily: ”Yes, I know her.”

Caleb was no fool; he could tell there was more to his words and wisely decided to drop it, merely exchanging polite remarks: ”Well, isn’t that quite a coincidence.”

At that table, there were also several influential people from Inderia.

Initially, those at the table dared not speak casually.

Seeing Lynn and Caleb start to chat, those people relaxed a bit and leaned in to make conversation.

They didn’t dare to directly speak with Lynn, instead steering the conversation toward Caleb, seeming to chat with him, but actually trying to strike up a connection with Lynn.

”Mr. Dax, do you know this person?”

Someone said, ”I heard the Davidson Family is virtually announcing their heir through this, tsk~ who would have thought the heir is not Leony Davidson.”

”Indeed, I also don’t know what kind of person they are, to garner such importance from Marcella Davidson and Kenzie Nabours, who even organized a banquet to introduce them to all of us.”

The last speaker flaunted, ”Since the Davidson Family chose an outsider, this outsider must have something extraordinary. We’ll find out soon enough.”
