Mr. Yancey was always unclear about what his grandson was usually busy with, but he was quite at ease with Amadeus Yancey. Especially after the last ti when the Yancey Family’s shipnt was hijacked, and Amadeus Yancey showed a close connection with the Yandor Sect in Inderia, Mr. Yancey asked even less about his affairs.
At this mont, he didn’t ask much either, just reminded him to take good care of Nathalie Quinlan before hanging up the phone.
The main reason Amadeus Yancey made this call was to ask him to keep an eye on other Zachmann Family mbers to prevent Hansel Kingsley, who was as crazy as a mad dog, from targeting other Zachmann Family mbers if he found out that this ti he couldn’t get his truck to hit Stanley Zachmann...
If sothing happened to Mr. Zachmann or Audrick Zachmann, he feared Nathalie Quinlan would be worried.
After handling this, Amadeus Yancey looked down and played with his phone, finding the girl’s profile picture on WhatsApp, and after a mont’s thought, sent over a ssage.

A certain café in the city center of Inderia.
Nathalie Quinlan sat outside an open-air café. The weather in November was very cold, and Inderia had equally poor weather.
She wore light clothes, with a sweater over her shoulders, and a white thick-knit scarf wrapped around her neck. Nathalie Quinlan had pulled up her sweater’s hood, and beneath the Duckbill Cap, her face was strikingly beautiful.
In front of her was a cup of hot cocoa, still steaming, but nothing else. She hadn’t ordered any tea or snacks.
She seed to be waiting for soone, sitting with crossed legs, continuously looking at her phone.
During this ti, Harvey Cadorette had sent her a ssage asking if she was indeed not going to the research institute in the afternoon, stating that Orson Saban ca to the laboratory and didn’t find her, inquiring others about her whereabouts, and that Leony Davidson took the chance to say so bad things about her to Orson.
Harvey Cadorette didn’t specify what exactly Leony Davidson said, only ntioned that Orson wasn’t very happy, advising her to return to the laboratory in the afternoon if there were no important matters.
Nathalie Quinlan replied briefly with two words—[Busy].
Just as when she left at noon, her deanor was unruly, with an uncontainable wildness in her bones.
Nathalie Quinlan didn’t read the subsequent ssages Harvey Cadorette sent.
She waited until she received Amadeus Yancey’s question about whether she would co back for dinner in the evening, and the chilliness in her eyes slightly dissipated.
Nathalie Quinlan was looking down, holding her phone with both hands, and replying to ssages.
The person she had been waiting for finally arrived belatedly.
"M-Miss, sorry for the wait."
Upon hearing the voice, Nathalie Quinlan temporarily stopped replying to Amadeus Yancey and turned off her phone, placing it aside before looking up.
She only saw Jas Lawrence, looking travel-worn, pull out a chair opposite her and sit down, beaming as he called a waiter to order himself a cup of coffee.
Seeing that Nathalie Quinlan only ordered a drink without the delicate cakes girls love, he silently ordered two of the café’s popular afternoon tea pastries.
After the waiter left.
Jas Lawrence could not contain his excitent, looking at the girl sitting across from him: "Miss, what made you think of calling over? I thought..."
He thought that since Nathalie Quinlan broke off with the Kingsleys Family last ti, she wouldn’t likely contact him again.
Jas Lawrence couldn’t have imagined that the person he couldn’t get through to before would take the initiative to call him out this ti.
Who knew, before he could finish his words, the girl picked up the hot cocoa on the table, took a sip, and put it down, saying blandly, "You guys touched my dad?"
"..."
Jas Lawrence, initially quite cheerful and chattering away, went suddenly silent on hearing this, looking at her in bewildernt, seemingly unable to understand the aning of her words.
