The Unveiling of Secret Queen-Chapter 1574: You Can Consult a Lawyer

She has always wielded incredible influence; otherwise, she wouldn’t be known as the Iron Lady in the M Country.

Ellen Quarles first brought out her iron rod and then immediately switched to a gentle tone.

Speaking pleasantly, she said, "Mr. Zachmann, Caryn has just joined the Pharmaceutical Association, and her future potential is limitless. Since the association is also in the M Country, our families will have many interactions in the future, and there’s no need to escalate things to an irreparable state. I’ve brought up the opportunity to go to Inderia with Mr. Dax, and Caryn has a great chance to go there, but as you know, as long as these things aren’t announced, there are always variables."

"Today’s opportunity is Caryn’s, but who knows whose hands it will fall into tomorrow." Ellen said while playing with her fingernails, in quite a good mood: "After all, several new members have joined the Pharmaceutical Association this year, and everyone is competing for this spot."

Caryn Zachmann unknowingly bit her lip, looking anxiously at her father.

She didn’t care what Audrick and Nathalie were up to, as long as it didn’t affect her chance to go to Inderia, anything would do! Besides, wasn’t Audrick fine?

However, Leonardy Zachmann didn’t look her way and wasn’t much swayed by Ellen’s tactics, only saying, "I need to think about it further before making a decision."

Ellen Quarles, worried about Evelyn’s safety, wanted to strike while the iron was hot to pressure Leonardy Zachmann into conceding.

But Leonardy turned out to be even more assertive than she had imagined, not giving her any chance to speak further. He got up and instructed, "That’s it, see the guest out."

"Countess, I’m a bit tired, please excuse yourself."

This attitude.

Ellen Quarles had never received such a cold shoulder. She stood up resentfully, picked up her handbag, and before leaving, didn’t forget to remind, "Mr. Zachmann, you might want to consult a lawyer about the legal consequences of kidnapping and extortion. The Zachmann Family still has some reputation in Beijing, but if this issue blows up, while we have to deal with some embarrassment overseas, the embarrassment you’ll face is far worse than ours."

After saying that, under Leonardy Zachmann’s angry gaze, she swaggered out.

...

"Dad." Once Ellen had left, Caryn couldn’t hold back anymore and called out to him, though she hadn’t spoken yet.

Leonardy Zachmann, looking as if he had a headache, waved her off: "Don’t say anything, I need to think this over carefully. Your brother was nearly killed by someone and is still lying in the hospital. Nathalie, even if she did those things, it was to stand up for your brother. They’ve always been close, and it’s understandable she’s upset. I need to figure out how to handle this matter."

Caryn Zachmann clenched her fists and took a deep breath, really wanting to ask him whether he’s thought about what would happen if he falls out with the Quarles Family.

What about her chance to go to Inderia?

However, Leonardy didn’t give her the chance, as if recalling something, he picked up his coat and told Celine Tucker, "I’m going to see Dad, you all can have dinner on your own, don’t wait for me, I don’t know when I’ll be back."

After instructing, he left in a hurry, quickly departing the house.

Celine Tucker remained fairly calm throughout, and after hearing the car leaving outside, she placed a comforting hand on Caryn Zachmann’s shoulder, her expression sinister, and whispered, "Don’t worry, dear. I’ll talk to your brother. Nathalie listens to him the most, as long as he tells her to let it go, she definitely won’t cause more trouble."

Hearing this, Caryn Zachmann finally relaxed her shoulders, uttering an ’mm’ sound, squeezing her fingernails, and looking in the direction Ellen had left, still with some regret in her eyes.

If only the Quarles Family could take care of Nathalie this time... how great would that be!
