Nathalie Quinlan lazily said, "Oh, what’s the truth behind it all?"
Ellen Quarles: "..."
She had never suffered such indignity!
Ellen Quarles’s eyelids twitched uncontrollably.
But she understood the principle of having to bow under the eaves.
She clenched her back teeth and forced herself to squeeze out a strained smile: "Lenny didn’t know anything about Mr. Zachmann’s matter."
"This whole thing with Mr. Zachmann was orchestrated by from start to finish; it was rely in the end that I used her na to transfer that sum."
At that ti, she also considered Evelyn Quarles’s age, as well as the Quarles family’s overseas power, thinking that even if Nathalie Quinlan traced it back to the Quarles family, she couldn’t do anything about Lenny, the overseas student.
Who knew Nathalie Quinlan would be so ruthless.
She even managed to find soone to take Evelyn Quarles away in the Kingdom of dirian.
Ellen Quarles was driven to a dead end, couldn’t care about her dignity, and said lowly: "I’ve already heard from others that I’m no longer a mber of the Kingdom of dirian royal family. The money you asked to prepare, I’ve also transferred to the account as per your requirent... Ms. Quinlan, show so rcy, I’ve already paid the price. Could you let the Quarles family off the hook?"
Nathalie Quinlan glanced at her, smiling: "Ellen Quarles, is there sothing you’ve forgotten to ntion?"
Ellen Quarles suddenly lifted her head.
Nathalie Quinlan helped her recall: "You’ve only admitted to the incident of my brother being coerced into his unfortunate fall. Have you forgotten that I also had a car accident before?"
Ellen Quarles’s face changed drastically, her eyes flickering violently, pretending to be surprised: "Ms. Quinlan had a car accident before? Are you alright?"
Nathalie Quinlan looked at her with a half-smile.
Those eyes seed to see through her panic.
Ellen Quarles’s heartbeat suddenly missed a beat, and her heart was about to leap out.
She pretended to remain calm, still unwilling to admit: "I’ve only recently co to Beijing, I’ve stayed in Orlais all the ti before, and I’m not very familiar with dostic affairs. I totally hadn’t heard anyone ntion that you had a car accident..."
Ellen Quarles continued to pretend: "Was this car accident caused by human actions or...?"
Nathalie Quinlan was quite impressed with her, curling her lips, her eyes mocking yet indifferent: "Human. Quite a coincidence, the source I found was also connected to the Quarles family."
"..."
Ellen Quarles’s scalp tingled, and she was unable to say a word.
Among all her calculations, she didn’t account for the car accident involving Nathalie Quinlan earlier; she had instigated that fool, Mrs. Gordon, who was provoked by a few words to get soone to hit Nathalie Quinlan with a car to vent her son’s anger. Later, that fool even took the bla for her.
She thought the matter of the car accident was over.
She never expected Nathalie Quinlan to trace it back to herself.
Ellen Quarles, despite her experience and composure, was at a loss as to how to handle the current situation: "This matter... is, is..."
She stamred for ages without being able to say anything concrete.
"This matter is a misunderstanding."
Ellen Quarles tried to calm herself down, but the nails of her clenched fingers were almost cutting in: "You know about the Illegal Zone incident... I, I certainly felt uneasy, but I didn’t expect Mrs. Gordon to be so daring."
"Ellen Quarles, you didn’t expect to escape unscathed, did you."
Nathalie Quinlan interrupted her, agreeing to et Ellen Quarles just to make her fully understand, preventing her from running around all day looking for connections, finding Caryn Zachmann or Leonardy Zachmann, having them harass Audrick Zachmann, or even Mr. Zachmann.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have co down to et Ellen Quarles at all.
Nathalie Quinlan, usually not showing anger or joy in her expression, was now full of a rebellious aura: "You didn’t expect to escape unscathed, so you turned your nefarious thoughts towards my brother. Ellen Quarles, what are you trying to do? Use my brother to warn ?"
