The Unveiling of Secret Queen

She hadn’t had time to move.

The stubbly man impatiently threw the phone along with the bag onto the ground, took a lighter from his pocket, lit it, and tossed it directly onto the bag.

He also casually picked up an alcohol lamp from the lab bench and poured alcohol over it.

A blaze of fire burst into flames.

Zevaney Kingsley could only watch helplessly as her bag, along with the phone, was burned to ashes...

”Let’s go.”

The stubbly man glanced at the burnt bag on the ground, waved his hand, and called his men to leave.

Before leaving, he was the last one to reach the door, suddenly stopped, turned to look at Zevaney Kingsley, whose eyes were red from the blow, and the group of stunned people in the lab. He said, ”Didn’t you guys ask who our boss is?”

Jake Rabenstein and the others hadn’t yet reacted to the other’s brazen actions, each instinctively looking at him, their eyes bewildered and empty...

The stubbly man didn’t care if they knew, his tiger’s eye exuding vigor, utterly domineering: ”Telling you doesn’t matter.”

”Who is it?” Zevaney Kingsley’s throat was dry, holding back the anger in her heart, her voice hoarse as she asked.

The stubbly man curled his lips, looking at her with an expression as if she were an ant, then slowly withdrew his gaze: ”QN.”

”The boss only asked me to take the stuff, not to deal with you, so consider yourselves lucky.”

After he said that,

he walked away without a glance back.

Leaving Zevaney Kingsley and Jake Rabenstein and the others standing there pondering over his words.

QN.

Is there anyone in Inderia now who doesn’t know which name this abbreviation represents?

”Their boss is... Nathalie Quinlan.” Jake Rabenstein murmured, his heart filled only with regret.

He was full of regret, knowing that if he had known Zevaney Kingsley and the Hidden Family behind her were so inadequate, he wouldn’t have betrayed the institute to join them secretly.

It’s all over now.

As Nicholas Fuller’s successor, Nathalie Quinlan had come knocking, surely she was aware of their actions over these days.

Even with a thousand regrets, Jake Rabenstein knew he had fallen this time!

Previously, he had clearly drawn a line with Zevaney Kingsley, determined to focus entirely on working at the institute, if not for his greed... he wouldn’t be stuck in the current situation!

Instinctively, Jake Rabenstein turned his head to look at the expression on Zevaney Kingsley’s face, only to see her lowering her head, her hanging hair covering her eyes, making it impossible to discern her expression.

...

Nathalie Quinlan had been drinking water all afternoon, until the sun began to set, close to 6:30 PM, when Sadam Vinson’s patience was wearing thin.

Her phone dinged.

The girl took the phone, glanced at the message, then lifted her eyelids, casually putting the phone back and said to them, ”Alright, let’s go.”

Emma Gabehart, being quick-witted, stood up immediately: ”I’ll go get the car.”

She walked away gracefully, leaving Sadam Vinson and Nathalie Quinlan to wait for her.

After Sadam Vinson paid the bill and returned, he noticed Emma Gabehart was gone, so he asked, ”Nathalie, did you see where she went?”

”She went to get the car.” Nathalie Quinlan put all her things away, slung her single shoulder bag over her left shoulder, and with one hand in her pocket, walked coolly towards the edge of the road.

”Wait for me, Nathalie.” Sadam Vinson quickly followed.

He had just reached the side of the road when a black SUV slowly stopped beside them.

Sadam Vinson was still perplexed about why the car was stopping so randomly.

The car window rolled down, revealing the face of Alfred Garland, who beamed with a bright smile and enthusiastically called out to them: ”Ms. Quinlan, hop in.”
