The Unveiling of Secret Queen-Chapter 1111: Nathalie Quinlan Probably Can’t Get Off the Stage Today
When Stewin Hoffman mentioned that the Chinese Medicine department’s performance for the anniversary was a solo dance, his gaze flickered, and a hint of mockery surfaced.
However, since Zeus Tanzil was present, he refrained from revealing his contempt too obviously. Instead, he turned his head away, looking in another direction.

By the time they entered, plenty of people had already occupied the front rows of the Great Hall, leaving hardly any seats available up front.
But Zeus Tanzil had come prepared, arranging for someone to reserve seats for them in advance.
So, the members of Dorm 3306 managed to secure spots in the fourth row, closer to the front.
Zayn Fisher instinctively chose the seat farthest from Zeus Tanzil, and once seated, his eyes fell upon Jackson Wafford, Winston Sullivan, Adelle Wafford, Derliand Gober, and others sitting in the front rows.
The department heads of several colleges were all present.
In addition to these familiar figures, Nathalie Quinlan was seated in the first row.
Today, Nathalie Quinlan was dressed in a formal suit and held a thermos filled with goji berry tea. He appeared both spirited and radiant.
Seated next to Nathalie Quinlan was someone else.
A young man. Due to the distance, Zayn Fisher could only see his back—a casual outfit, his hair swept effortlessly behind, revealing a clean and handsome profile. Under the lighting, his nose bridge and side profile seemed to gleam with a porcelain-like sheen.
On the young man’s wrist hung an aged strand of Buddhist beads, which significantly softened the sense of aggression he might otherwise exude.
He seemed like someone who practiced Buddhism.
Zayn Fisher instantly recognized him from his silhouette—Amadeus Yancey.
Having spent years in Beijing alongside Zeus Tanzil, Zayn Fisher had only recently begun to understand the dynamics of the city’s power structure.
Leaving aside the elder generation of the Great Families, among the younger members still active in the circles today, Amadeus from the Yancey Family was peerless.
Even more formidable than Ghania Quinlan’s uncle, Myles Sullivan.
This time, Ghania Quinlan found herself in such dire straits because, to put it bluntly, her offense wasn’t towards Nathalie Quinlan but rather the man standing behind her—Amadeus.
That explained why the Sullivan Family and Myles Sullivan had been running around for more than half a month, yet still failed to resolve Ghania Quinlan’s predicament.
It was a testament to how influential this Mr. Yancey truly was in Beijing.
Thinking about this, Zayn Fisher pressed his thin lips together and quickly withdrew his gaze, fearing he might attract Amadeus’s attention if he lingered for too long.
Meanwhile, he felt a surge of frustration and found his thoughts drifting. In his haze, he vaguely heard Stewin Hoffman chatting with Zeus Tanzil.
"Wow, what’s going on? A junior from the Chinese Medicine department told me they just realized that Caryn and her team chose the same piece as theirs. The backstage is now utter chaos, and the entire department is dumbfounded."
"It’s so close to performance time, and changing the program now is definitely impossible. Wouldn’t that mean your goddess is..."
Zayn Fisher snapped back to the moment, confused by what he overheard. Unable to hold back, he interjected, "Wait, you’re saying Caryn Zachmann and Nathalie Quinlan..."
Stewin Hoffman, seeing his curiosity, turned and explained, "Yeah, they selected the same performance piece—Lighten Chaser’s ’Nirvana.’"
"..." Zayn Fisher fell into prolonged silence, his emotions turbulent.
Stewin Hoffman, equally stunned by the strange development, smacked his lips and remarked regretfully, "It’ll all depend on the order of performances later. If they end up clashing, Nathalie Quinlan might really... lose face today!"
He didn’t mention how, during his time browsing online, he saw many people speculating that Caryn Zachmann might actually be Light Chaser herself.
The assumption stemmed from Light Chaser publicly acknowledging Audrick Zachmann as her brother on Twitter.
Coupled with the videos Light Chaser had released, which showed she was young—a girl—it all pointed strongly to the likelihood that Caryn Zachmann = Light Chaser.
