"Nathalie Quinlan had Lenny kidnapped." Ellen Quarles was at a loss, anxiously explaining the situation from the past few days: "I called her before and already apologized, but she insists on the Quarles Family paying 1 billion, or she’ll kill him."
billion!
Even Celine Tucker, not to ntion Leonardy Zachmann, who had seen much of the world, couldn’t hide the shock in his eyes at this mont.
Nathalie is demanding Ellen pay 1 billion?
"We really can’t co up with 1 billion. On that day, we scraped together 300 million and transferred it to the account she specified. For the last few days, I’ve called her but she hasn’t answered, and there’s been no news from Lenny... It’s been five days since the welcoming banquet."
Ellen Quarles propped her head with her hand, appearing very troubled, then she looked up at Leonardy Zachmann, pleading, "Mr. Zachmann, we’ve already given the money, 1 billion is indeed too much, and we can’t co up with that much money in such short notice. I can’t find Nathalie Quinlan. Could you perhaps trouble yourself to find Nathalie and have a proper talk with her?"
Leonardy Zachmann still found this matter too fantastical.
Even more fantastical than Audrick’s ’accident’ having anything to do with the Quarles Family.
He hadn’t co back to his senses for a long ti, until Ellen called to him again, he then barely managed to pull himself from the state of shock.
However, his reaction was very genuine, Leonardy Zachmann frowned and shook his head: "How could Nathalie have such capabilities, you’re exaggerating. Lenny going missing surely has nothing to do with Nathalie; she’s in Beijing, she hasn’t left the country these days, how could she arrange to have Lenny kidnapped in the US from miles away?"
Even he didn’t have that ability.
Nathalie Quinlan...?
How old is Nathalie?
Leonardy Zachmann instinctively dismissed Ellen’s claim.
But Ellen just laughed, as if laughing at their naiveté: "Mr. Zachmann, don’t you know yet?"
"...Know what?" Leonardy Zachmann’s heart skipped, vaguely sensing what she was about to say.
At this point, Ellen Quarles had nothing to hide: "Nathalie Quinlan is the Sun of the Red Alliance, surely soone in your family knows about that!"
Her words were undoubtedly a bombshell in the living room, leaving Leonardy Zachmann and Celine Tucker stunned.
Caryn Zachmann just happened to co back from outside. She hadn’t heard the earlier part, only catching Ellen’s last sentence.
Nathalie Quinlan is the Sun of the Red Alliance?
It was like a bolt from the blue, draining the color from her pretty face, even leaving her lips pale and weak. She let whatever she was holding fall to the ground, not even rembering to pick it up.
Caryn felt a bit flustered and also seed to have a heavy stone pressing on her chest, making it hard to breathe.
She took several deep breaths, squeezing her palms tight to barely calm herself, then walked over gracefully to greet Leonardy Zachmann and Celine Tucker: "Dad, Mom, I’m back."
She then looked across at Ellen sitting on the sofa, and with less arrogance, spoke very respectfully: "Godmother."
Ellen Quarles didn’t bother to respond, just nodding slightly as an acknowledgnt.
Leonardy Zachmann and Celine Tucker didn’t even nod, as both were still absorbed in what Ellen had just revealed.
"Furthermore, Silvania Ingram, the founder of your dostic Pinecone Group, also has many connections with her." Ellen tidied her collar and continued, "Pinecone Group has three partners, one being the well-known Silvania Ingram in the spotlight, another being Lowie Wilmar, the young master from the Wilmar Family in Beijing. But have you ever considered who the remaining partner is?"
