The Unveiling of Secret Queen

If Caryn Zachmann ever considered Celine Tucker, she wouldn’t have done such a thing, but Caryn did it anyway, which shows she is selfish by nature.

No matter how well Celine treats her, when it comes to the crunch, she can walk away without any burden on her mind.

Leonardy Zachmann was equally heavy-hearted. After thinking for a moment, he called Hendrik Zachmann and said to him, ”Don’t make a big noise about it yet.”

Hendrik looked at him, surprised that Leonardy would say this.

Leonardy had things on his mind, and his face looked quite poor. He pursed his lips and said, ”Your grandpa doesn’t know about this yet. If you make a fuss and the old man finds out, I don’t know how angry he’ll be.”

”Your grandpa is not in good health. He can’t handle being upset anymore.”

”I know.” Hendrik squeezed his palm, not worried about Caryn, but more concerned about Celine still being at the police station: ”But about Mom...”

”She is merely a suspect. This matter has nothing to do with her; the police won’t trouble her, but they can’t let her go home for now.”

As Leonardy spoke, he gradually calmed down, his elegant face slightly recovering its color, and said to him, ”Once your sister is found, the police will naturally let her go home.”

”Understood.” Hendrik responded, without a better solution.

He was no longer at Maybelissa.

Among the people he knew over these years, only Evron Barness could help, but involving Nathalie Quinlan’s matter, Evron would definitely not help him.

Hendrik was aware of this.

Besides, he’s just worried about Celine being cold and scared spending the night at the police station. As for Caryn... ever since last time, his care for Caryn has diminished significantly.

This time Caryn thoughtlessly ran away again, and Hendrik, like Audrick Zachmann, disapproves of her actions, so he doesn’t want to bother with her.

”Dad, are we still going for dinner tonight?” Hendrik asked the most concerned question, uncertain.

Leonardy patted his shoulder, withdrew his hand, his expression slightly eased, and said, ”Your grandpa is also going for dinner tonight. If he sees we didn’t show up, he’ll surely suspect something happened.”

”We should still go for dinner; moreover, Nathalie has finally returned. I haven’t seen her for a long time either.”

Leonardy worriedly reminded him, ”When you get there, be careful not to let anything slip. We’ll act like nothing happened, don’t mention it in front of your grandpa and Nathalie, understand?”

Hendrik nodded and agreed.

Leonardy told Audrick the same thing. Audrick bent down to pick up the sunglasses and mask from the sofa, and with a stern face said: ”I know, I won’t let anything slip, as long as you don’t. Nathalie has finally come back; at least don’t make her have a bad meal because of this.”

Caryn has stirred so much trouble, and Nathalie tolerates it all for his and the old man’s sake, until the end when Caryn herself makes a fatal mistake.

Caryn just brought it upon herself.

He only hoped that this time Nathalie could at least have a peaceful dinner.

Hendrik and his dad should not bring it up at the table, making Nathalie unable to eat in peace.

Leonardy’s face turned pale, and he endured saying, ”I already said not to bring it up; would I bring it up myself?”

”Weren’t you like this before? Always at the end, you still speak for them.” Audrick didn’t look at Leonardy and Hendrik’s faces, taking his things out: ”I’m leaving, see you tonight at the Imperial Hotel.”

Leonardy and Hendrik watched him leave the family without turning back. Both remained silent, and ultimately didn’t stop him.
