The Unveiling of Secret Queen-Chapter 243: One Big Shot is More Formidable Than the Next_1
Who would have known that man’s plans can’t rival heaven’s, Nathalie Quinlan’s stepfather actually knew Mr. Ingram from Pinecone Group.
That Mr. Ingram was exactly the person they were trying to connect with! 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Jeff Quinlan’s brows throbbed, he lifted his hand to press between his eyebrows, feeling both annoyed and irritable, "For now, let it be. We’ll talk about Mr. Ingram’s matter after today, after today I’ll find Nathalie again to see if she’s willing to help introduce us."
"You better not provoke her recently, do you understand?"
This remark served as both a reminder and a warning.
Ghania Quinlan felt unwilling at heart, but her face showed utmost obedience, "Mhm, I understand."
Seeing his daughter so compliant, Jeff Quinlan finally felt some consolation, gently comforting her, "You shouldn’t be too upset either, although Nathalie only invited Mr. Ingram, she was alone. You have Lanita, your Lidya, Grandma Tucker, and even Master Steven... The star of today is still you! No one can steal your spotlight!"
Ghania Quinlan finally felt somewhat better at heart.
Indeed, what if Nathalie could invite Silvania Ingram, she ultimately had only one person.
Her side was different.
Half of McKinney’s elites had come.
Outside, there were so many reporters, who could steal her limelight?
The color on her delicate face eased slightly, a touch of shyness rose like a blush, as she coyly clung to his arm, "I didn’t want to compete with anyone, if I have to choose, I’d prefer just to have a meal with you and mom, just the three of us."
With his daughter showing filial piety and understanding, a smile couldn’t help but emerge on Jeff Quinlan’s face.
As they were speaking, several more cars arrived.
This time, like they all knew in advance, they didn’t head towards the Waterfront Pavilion entrance, but directly went next door.
As one after another appeared, the smile that had finally returned to Jeff Quinlan’s face completely stiffened!
He didn’t recognize that flamboyantly dressed, striking young man.
But he did recognize the elderly man who came with that young man—Mr. Yapiter!
That person was an eminent figure in McKinney, where no one dared to claim being number one if he said he was number two!
How on earth could Nathalie invite such a personality!
His brow throbbed fiercely.
He wasn’t the only one whose heart raced; the same was true for the rest of the Quinlan Family’s guests.
Adelia Tucker’s face suddenly changed upon seeing Owen Yapiter, her grip on the dragon-headed cane tightening uncontrollably. Her mouth turned downward, her eyes bulging as if they were about to pop out.
What a move by the Zachmann Family!
To go to such lengths to support a junior who had been lost for more than ten years, even inviting Owen Yapiter!
It was just a junior’s birthday party; they weren’t afraid to jinx the youngster’s future!
While her face showed discomfort, Mrs. Fisher’s expression was no better. She too recognized Owen Yapiter and could immediately identify the rather ordinary-looking elderly man walking toward Nathalie’s side.
Upon seeing it was Owen Yapiter, she almost cried out loud.
If it weren’t for Zayn Fisher supporting her, she would have almost fallen on the ground and made a fool out of herself. Now, her heart was filled with immense regret, regretting why she had let herself be persuaded by Zayn Fisher to attend Ghania Quinlan’s birthday party, and moreover, regretting her past belief that Nathalie was just a pretentious rich girl, unfit for Zayn Fisher.
If she had known earlier that Nathalie knew so many influential people, she would have never abandoned her for Ghania Quinlan!
Someone feeling even more regret was the movie star Lanita.
Lanita was already regretting after seeing Silvania Ingram show no concern for Ghania Quinlan’s face, but upon seeing more TV personalities arriving at Nathalie’s side, her expression, no amount of heavy makeup could hide the distortion on her face.
