Inderia...

Lowie Wilmar was also in the circle in Beijing. He found a familiar friend to ask, and he quickly heard that Amadeus Yancey wasn’t in Beijing either.

He smiled bitterly, ultimately finding it hard to let go.

*

On the other side, Amadeus Yancey hadn’t gone today.

But his connections in Inderia had long reached the sky, and he almost immediately knew what Hansel Kingsley wanted with Nathalie Quinlan, as well as the threats Hansel Kingsley made to Nathalie Quinlan at the restaurant of the Intercontinental Hotel.

He pondered for a moment and didn’t ask the girl if it was true, but instead contacted Candice Yancey immediately to keep an eye on the Zachmann Family.

Especially Audrick Zachmann, Mr. Zachmann, and Stanley Zachmann.

As for the other members of the Zachmann Family, he didn’t specifically mention them to Candice Yancey over the phone, probably just hinting that she should keep an eye on them too.

Candice Yancey wasn’t entirely clear on the situation, but knowing Amadeus Yancey’s always mysterious manner, she discussed the issue with Mr. Yancey, who then came forward and sent quite a number of personnel.

Mr. Yancey’s intervention was certainly more decisive and reliable than a junior like Lowie Wilmar acting on his own.

Now, even though the main power of the Kingsley Family was in Inderia, even if Hansel Kingsley was in Beijing, he likely wouldn’t be able to act against the members of the Zachmann Family under the watchful eyes of the Yancey and Wilmar families...

Of course, all this was done without the knowledge of Mr. Zachmann and Stanley Zachmann, secretly.

To this day, Stanley Zachmann still believed that Nathalie Quinlan had gone back to McKinney.

He knew that Nathalie Quinlan was close to Aunt Cagwin and her family, and as a father, he didn’t want to disturb her, so he hadn’t called Nathalie Quinlan during this period. Instead, he showed his concern through WhatsApp every day, asking if Nathalie Quinlan was having fun in McKinney, and he also sent her red packets.

One every day.

All were transfers of 9999+.

What he often said to her was to buy more clothes, go out with friends, and not to worry about money and such.

He himself began taking over parts of the Zachmann family’s business under Mr. Zachmann’s guidance, taking time to learn.

He did this as part of his plan to pave the way for Nathalie Quinlan’s future...

After all, if Nathalie Quinlan ended up staying in Beijing to develop her future, he couldn’t let his daughter graduate without an inheritance and have her start from scratch.

As for Nathalie Quinlan not taking the final exams this year and taking a year off from school, Stanley Zachmann always took it in stride; whatever his daughter said was what mattered.

Nathalie Quinlan wanted a year off, so he discussed her major with Shawn Norton and didn’t mention much more about it.

Silently doing what needed to be done.

...

In Inderia, after Amadeus Yancey finished a phone call with Candice Yancey, he turned back, picked up the car keys from the table, and said to the few people still playing in the living room: "I’m going out for a bit."

Alfred Garland was being pulled into a game by Sadam Vinson. Seeing Amadeus with car keys in his hand, he immediately put down his phone: "Amadeus, I’ll go with you."

"No need." Amadeus Yancey didn’t let him tag along. After a few words with Brian Bonette, he left the residence.

He first went to the shopping mall in Inderia, browsed through it, selected a gift, then left the mall. Outside the mall, he called the girl.

His voice was deep and husky: "Where are you?"

Nathalie Quinlan was in a coffee shop not far from the Intercontinental Hotel. She looked at the sidewalk outside and gave an address.

Amadeus Yancey received the address she mentioned, murmured an acknowledgment, his eyes lowered and captivating: "I’ll come to pick you up."

After that, he hung up the phone.

He walked to a black coupe parked at the side of the road, opened the car door, got in, turned the car around, and then stepped on the accelerator, driving towards the address the girl had just given...
