The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Lianna Young herself was responsible for intelligence gathering, and she often frequented these clubs. She was remarkably skilled at these games.

The Yandor Sect group of men couldn’t outplay her.

Nathalie Quinlan, who appeared to be an ordinary girl, dared to let Lianna Young go first. To the Yandor Sect people, Nathalie’s behavior seemed to carry a bold ’fearless calf’ spirit.

”Alright.” Lianna Young saw the girl insist she go first, and with a smirk, glanced at Amadeus Yancey’s direction, sourly saying: ”Since we’re playing, there must be a prize, or it won’t be fun. Let’s first talk about what we’re betting.”

Nathalie Quinlan nodded knowingly, her gaze darting around, landing on the ’culprit’ standing beside herself: ”If I lose, I’ll lend you my boyfriend for a day. If you lose... hmm? Let me think about what you’ll do if you lose.”

Lianna Young indeed hadn’t expected her to be so bold, she was taken aback but immediately said: ”If I lose, you can do as you please.”

”OK.” Nathalie Quinlan calmly raised her hand: ”Start.”

On the other side, Nicholas Fuller and they were preparing to leave.

Harvey Cadorette and Williansen Barness left first, and Nicholas Fuller and Orson Saban saw off a few people, then returned to ask Violetta Hoffman: ”Are you going home first or to the institute?”

Violetta Hoffman glanced at the time: ”It’s past nine, I’ll just head home instead of going to the institute.”

Nicholas Fuller nodded, saying to Orson Saban: ”Can you take her home?”

Orson Saban didn’t feel at ease letting Violetta Hoffman, a young woman, go home alone, so he didn’t refuse, picked up his jacket from the table and said to Violetta Hoffman: ”Let’s go, I’ll take you.”

”Vice Principal, it’s not necessary to trouble you.” Violetta Hoffman originally wanted to refuse.

Alfred Garland stood up at that moment, offering: ”Vice Principal, I’ll take Ms. Hoffman home, you should head back early for some rest.”

Violetta Hoffman compared Orson Saban and Alfred Garland, finding that riding with the scholarly Vice Principal felt awkward, and Alfred Garland seemed much more approachable as a contemporary. She touched the bridge of her nose and also spoke up, telling Orson Saban: ”Vice Principal, he can take me home. You and the Principal head back early for some rest, I’ll message you when I reach.”

Orson Saban looked at Alfred Garland then at the standing Violetta Hoffman, thinking there was some romantic tension between the two, so he didn’t insist, and said to Nicholas Fuller: ”I’ll leave first then.”

”Head back then.”

Nicholas Fuller waved him off.

Alfred Garland also picked up the car keys, letting Violetta Hoffman go with him.

In the penthouse, only Nicholas Fuller and Sadam Vinson were left after everyone departed.

Sadam Vinson stood up at this point and volunteered: ”Mr. Fuller, let me take you home.”

Nicholas Fuller looked towards the door, Nathalie Quinlan hadn’t returned yet, he hesitated, but considering it was already late, he didn’t insist: ”Alright.”

As Sadam Vinson was walking out the door, Nicholas Fuller’s phone lit up from behind, it was a call from Nathan Garland.

As soon as Nicholas Fuller saw Nathan Garland’s name, his brows furrowed. Despite considering the 20 years of friendship, he answered the call: ”Hello.”

Nathan Garland’s tone didn’t reveal any anomaly, he calmly said: ”Principal, I’m at your doorstep, there are some institute matters I’d like to discuss with you.”

Nicholas Fuller guessed he was referring to the resignation matter, he looked up at the night sky.

The weather in Inderia was great today, as Nicholas Fuller stepped out he felt the night breeze brushing his face, looking up at the stars, it seemed tomorrow would be a nice day too.

His brain relaxed slightly from its tightened state, not making it difficult for the other party, he replied: ”I’m outside, I’ll be back shortly, you wait for me half an hour.”
