The Unveiling of Secret Queen

By comparison, the Zevaney Kingsley they had supported for twenty years seemed utterly mediocre, getting crushed by Nathalie Quinlan no matter whether outside or inside the research institute.

Not only that, now Zevaney Kingsley had caused a huge mess for the family, and they really regretted that the two times Nathalie Quinlan had come to the door before, they hadn’t stood up to say a fair word for her.

If they had spoken up for justice back then, would things ever have blown up to this point!

Everyone in the Kingsleys Family looked ashen, eaten up with regret.

Dissatisfaction simmered in their hearts, and they kept shooting looks in Hansel Kingsley’s direction.

"..." Hansel Kingsley held a high position and senior qualification in the Kingsleys Family. Aside from that last time he’d been utterly humiliated when Lynn Kingsley reclaimed his authority over the Punishment Hall, when had he ever been this disgraced?

He could feel the discontented gazes coming at him from all directions.

How could there be no regret in his Heart!

Put Zevaney Kingsley and Nathalie Quinlan together, and even a blind man would know who to choose!

But back then he really hadn’t thought a seemingly ordinary Girl from Beijing could have such ability, stirring up storms across Inderia.

There is no medicine for regret in this world.

He had chosen Zevaney Kingsley and there was no way to turn back.

"Does saying all this now mean anything? We’ve already made our choice. And none of you had any objections at the time. Now you say we chose wrong—do you think, with that rotten temper of hers, she would come back to the Kingsleys Family just because you all go crawling to her?"

Hansel Kingsley gave a cold, derisive laugh, as if mocking those in the Kingsleys Family who were still clinging to fantasy.

"She never planned on coming back in the first place!"

Someone protested, unconvinced: "If the Sixth Elder hadn’t previously..."

"She’d be a disaster even if she did come back!"

Hansel Kingsley refused to admit he’d been wrong and cut the other person off: "Look at the way she conducts herself and does things. Do you really think she would keep the Kingsleys Family in her Heart? At least Zevaney Kingsley knows how to show us respect, knows how to work for the Kingsleys Family."

Most of the Kingsleys Family didn’t agree with his view.

Zevaney Kingsley would work herself to the bone for the Kingsleys Family?

Sure, Zevaney Kingsley was indeed desperately trying to secure her own status, scrambling upward with everything she had... but wasn’t the trouble Zevaney had stirred up this time big enough?

At the very least, Nathalie Quinlan hadn’t blown up a huge scandal.

Hansel Kingsley didn’t give anyone a chance to refute him. A flash of coldness crossed his Eyes: "She’s already been kicked out of the research institute in disguise. Without The First Research Institute backing her up, there’s no way she can churn up any big storms. That’s all she’ll ever amount to!"

Hadn’t there been word spreading earlier that Nicholas Fuller was looking for an heir.

Nathalie Quinlan was effectively out of the running.

"Even if she has her own Power in the Illegal Zone, in Inderia she’s still nothing at all!" Hansel Kingsley could only keep forcing himself to believe it. The more he said it, the more he started to buy it himself: "So sooner or later, she’s going to fall flat on her face!"

Lynn Kingsley didn’t want to bother with him. He didn’t even spare him a proper glance, and calmly instructed James Lawrence: "Go talk to the Moore Family again, try to fight for a bit more."

As ridiculous as Hansel Kingsley’s words were, there was one point that hit Lynn Kingsley’s sore spot—they had already chosen Zevaney Kingsley!

So this time, the Kingsleys Family could only choose to protect Zevaney Kingsley.

"Yes, Clan Chief." James Lawrence’s chest felt tight with discomfort. He nodded, turned, and got ready to go handle it.

"And another thing." Lynn Kingsley tapped his fingers on the desktop, stopping him, then thought for a moment before saying, "Have Jaycent Kingsley come back and start learning under Master Isadora and the others from today on."

The Kingsleys Family also had their own black gunpowder experts, and before this, all of them had been focused exclusively on serving Zevaney Kingsley.

Now Lynn Kingsley had changed his stance.

Zevaney Kingsley’s position was hanging by a thread!

"And among the younger generation... Therry Kingsley." Lynn Kingsley lifted his hand in a casual gesture, speaking with lazy contempt: "Have him learn along with them."
