The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Nicholas Fuller glanced at Giordano Yancey and then withdrew his gaze, nodding slightly.

Nathalie Quinlan released her hand, raised her chin, and said to him, ”Let’s talk upstairs.”

”Alright.” Nicholas Fuller had no objections.

After Nathalie Quinlan agreed with him, she turned to Amadeus Yancey and said, ”I’ll take him upstairs to chat for a while. Could you stay with Grandpa Yancey and the others?”

Amadeus Yancey was as familiar with Nicholas Fuller as anyone could be. His eyes were gentle, and he nodded, speaking softly, ”You two go ahead. No need to worry about here. I’ll handle everything.”

Nathalie Quinlan responded with a sound, then politely spoke to Giordano Yancey and Candice Yancey before leading Nicholas Fuller upstairs to her room.

Giordano Yancey watched the two ascend to the second floor until their figures disappeared around the corner. Then he turned his head, his gaze intense, looking at his grandson and said, ”You little rascal, aren’t you going to explain this to me?”

He couldn’t help but feel a mix of emotions right now.

He had been worried about Nathalie not being able to enter The First Research Institute, yet now the Institute’s director personally came to find her.

It seemed Nathalie Quinlan was extraordinarily familiar with Nicholas Fuller.

Even his own wayward grandson knew Nicholas Fuller.

In the entire villa, he was the only one completely bewildered.

Even Sadam Vinson and Alfred Garland seeing Nicholas Fuller seemed unfazed, clearly indicating Nicholas Fuller had visited Nathalie Quinlan frequently.

”What’s going on with The First Research Institute’s director upstairs? Did Nathalie get into the Institute?” Giordano Yancey was too lazy for small talk, cutting straight to the point as he pointed towards the direction Nicholas Fuller had just gone to on the second floor.

Candice Yancey only then realized the identity of the seemingly ordinary old man, and with a surprised expression said, ”Dad, are you saying the person who went up with Nathalie just now is...”

Seeing her only realizing the identity now, Giordano Yancey felt a bit relieved, pretending to be composed, saying, ”That’s The First Research Institute’s director, Nicholas Fuller.”

”...”

He then turned his head, his gaze firmly locked on his grandson whose actions were beyond expectation, sternly saying, ”How many things are you hiding from me!”

Upstairs.

After Nicholas Fuller entered the room, he handed a yellowed document folder to the girl.

Seeing Nathalie Quinlan bow her head and open the folder, pulling out the contents, he spoke softly, ”This is a report document I found in the archive about your mother’s experiments. Take a look...”

Nathalie Quinlan didn’t need him to say more, already swiftly scanning through it.

What Nicholas Fuller handed her was a report form typically filled out before conducting experiments, listed with the required materials, laboratory details, etc.

”I’ve looked into this form.”

”Your mother was involved in nuclear decomposition experiments before leaving the Institute.”

Nicholas Fuller spoke with a heavy tone, looking at her, ”It’s the same experiment as the one I assigned to you. I suspect her death might be related to this.”

Nathalie Quinlan had already finished examining the form and had gone back through it repeatedly.

Nicholas Fuller was right.

Lynette Kingsley had continuously researched nuclear decomposition. According to the form records, she had conducted quite a few related studies.

Nathalie Quinlan turned the form page, examining the yellow stains on the back of the paper. These traces left by time couldn’t lie.

This form was a clue left by Lynette Kingsley 20 years ago.

”The Hidden Family seems to be very wary of this.” Nicholas Fuller hadn’t been idle over the years; he had been probing to guess what exactly the Hidden Family was concerned about.

Nathalie Quinlan placed the document back in the folder, lifting the corners of her lips, expressionless and said, ”Of course they fear this!”
