The Unveiling of Secret Queen

”Ms. Quinlan, could you please come out of the car for a chat?” the young man’s voice was gentle and pleasant.

Nathalie Quinlan found the voice familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before. However, when she looked outside the car window at the person standing there, she couldn’t immediately recall who it was.

Amadeus Yancey also saw the person standing outside, raised an eyebrow, and asked her, ”Do you know him?”

The girl tugged at her duckbill cap to hide the irritation in her eyes, feeling quite annoyed: ”Um, maybe? I really don’t have much of an impression.”

Outside the car, the man politely knocked on the car window again and continued softly, ”Ms. Quinlan, may I trouble you to come out for a talk?”

So noisy!

Nathalie Quinlan unbuckled her seatbelt and said to the person in the car, ”I’m going out to take a look.”

Amadeus Yancey unlocked the car, letting her open the door to get out. He then leaned back on the driver’s seat, adjusted it backward, with his long legs resting on the brake and his elbow on the steering wheel, keeping a close eye on the man’s every move outside.

He knew this person.

Someone from the Lordon Family.

The Lordon Family’s status in Inderia was second only to the three great families, considered one of the emerging family powers. In recent years, as Khendy Lordon expanded his influence in the Illegal Zone, the Lordon Family’s relationship with the Kingsleys Family had also grown closer. Marco Lordon, as the current eldest son of the Lordon Family, had a significant chance of inheriting the family’s assets in the future.

Therefore, Marco Lordon was considered a prominent young talent in Inderia, and many of his peers were watching him.

However, Amadeus Yancey didn’t consider him significant.

Having investigated the Lordon Family, he naturally knew about the many undercurrents within the family.

Marco Lordon appeared outstanding on the surface but was actually mild-mannered and easily persuaded, not considered a capable person.

The Lordon Family’s current position relied entirely on that person behind the scenes... the disabled legged overlord of the Illegal Zone, Khendy Lordon!

Moreover, Nathalie Quinlan seemed to have an unusual relationship with Khendy Lordon; at least, they were very familiar, sharing the kind of rapport and ease only people who had known each other for many years could have...

...

Outside.

Nathalie Quinlan exited the car.

Marco Lordon rubbed his brow, opening his mouth with visible remorse: ”Sorry, Ms. Quinlan, for disturbing you at such a time.”

”No problem.” Nathalie Quinlan nonchalantly shifted her line of sight off him: ”Did you need something from me?”

Marco Lordon thought she didn’t recognize him, so he first introduced himself politely: ”It’s like this. I am Marco Lordon, Khendy Lordon’s older brother.”

Nathalie Quinlan glanced at him again, her tone quite impatient: ”I know.”

The man before her did somewhat resemble Khendy Lordon, but their temperaments were far apart.

Marco Lordon seemed like a precious plant nurtured in a greenhouse, exuding an air of gentle politeness unfamiliar with the world.

In contrast, Khendy Lordon had weathered so many storms that even when smiling, he had an intimidating coldness that discouraged others from approaching.

Having known Khendy Lordon for many years, Nathalie Quinlan naturally knew how the Lordon Family had mistreated Khendy Lordon in the past, and later, how they shamelessly reconnected when Khendy Lordon’s Maybelissa rose to prominence...

Hence, she naturally didn’t have much fondness for the Lordon Family.

”I’ve heard a lot about you from Khendy; you two are friends, right?” Marco Lordon, unaware of these details, smiled slightly, speaking rather politely.

Nathalie Quinlan was in no mood for patience, especially since she hadn’t closed her eyes for 24 hours now, making her even more irritable. Her pitch-black eyes looked directly at him: ”If you have something to say, just say it.”

”Uh....” Marco Lordon was used to the upper circle’s etiquette of expressing oneself politely even if there was something to discuss, and he was momentarily stunned.
