The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Simon withdrew his gaze, and when he looked at Zevaney Kingsley again, his eyes had become meaningful. He was still polite, but no longer flattering as before: ”Ms. Kingsley, I won’t disturb you any longer, I’ll be leaving now.”

”Hmm, alright.” Zevaney Kingsley’s expression was unsightly.

However, Simon walked away without turning back.

The sound of automobile exhaust soon reverberated through the underground garage as yet another car drove out.

Zevaney Kingsley clearly understood why the other’s attitude had made a 180° turn. Watching Simon’s car drive away, the sharp pain and oppressive feeling clenching her chest finally eased a little.

She had no interest in worrying about whether Simon from the Chamber Alliance would spread the day’s events at the underground garage. She hurried to start her own car, planning to go find Regina Isadora once more.

She recalled how, back when David broke into their laboratory, he had personally claimed to be retrieving something for his boss!

If he truly was the mysterious weapons dealer visiting Inderia this time.

Then Nathalie Quinlan...

Zevaney Kingsley hadn’t paid attention to Nathalie Quinlan or Nicholas Fuller, yet at this moment, she suddenly felt like she was crushed back into the mire by an enormous mountain she couldn’t see the top of. This feeling was more unbearable to Zevaney than being killed!

Diana drove her to the entrance of The First Research Institute, then dropped the girl off before glancing at the entrance and saying, ”Shall I go back first then?”

”Mm.” Nathalie Quinlan took her bag, closed the car door for him, and watched as his car drove away.

Only then did she enter the gates of The First Research Institute.

She was there to give the projects she had reviewed earlier to Orson Saban, so Nathalie headed straight to Orson’s office.

Orson was in the level 8 laboratory. Not finding him in his office, Nathalie called him and then waited inside his office for him to return.

With nothing else to do, she took out her phone, opening WhatsApp to give someone a like.

To her surprise, Nathalie scrolled through the posts but couldn’t find any updates from Khendy Lordon that day.

Didn’t post?

Slightly taken aback, Nathalie scrolled to Khendy’s icon and scrolled down, realizing that, indeed, Khendy hadn’t posted that day...

She subconsciously frowned, thought for a moment, and sent a message to Khendy.

There was no reply yet on the other end.

Nathalie wasn’t anxious, though.

She noticed the computer in Orson’s office, placed her phone aside, pulled out a USB flash drive from her bag, and went to the desktop computer, pulling the chair out to sit down.

...

When Orson arrived, he saw the girl fully absorbed in editing something on the computer.

Putting down the information in his hand, he walked over and, seeing a list on the screen, asked with some curiosity, ”Aren’t these people from the research institute?”

He had a deep impression of Jake Rabenstein.

The guy was considered a veteran of The First Research Institute, having been there for more than ten years. Recently, he and Nicholas Fuller were considering promoting this person to be in charge of the level 2 laboratory.

The current head of the level 2 laboratory was to be promoted to oversee the level 5 laboratory, which Nathan Garland had been responsible for previously.

”What’s the matter with him?” Orson knew Nathalie wouldn’t list such a long string of names without reason, so he pointed at the names and asked.

Nathalie had just finished typing the last name, her hands leaving the keyboard, eyes sharp and cold: ”They’ve all gone to work for Zevaney Kingsley’s laboratory and are now working for the Hidden Family.”

”What?!” Orson was astounded, unable to react for a long time.

This was quite a substantial issue, and he immediately looked to the girl for confirmation: ”Are you sure these people have all betrayed the research institute?”
