The Unveiling of Secret Queen-Chapter 1313: On Her Turf, They Still Have to Steer Clear of Nathalie

Caryn Zachmann, after all, has been friends playing with their small circle for so long, and Brian Bonette has always treated her like a sister.

At this moment, hearing Caryn Zachmann’s humble ’admission of wrongdoing’, he didn’t make things difficult for her, thinking, "I’ll communicate privately with Sadam Vinson about this."

Caryn Zachmann’s embarrassed face finally relaxed a bit: "Thank you, Brian."

The next second.

Brian Bonette’s next words made the slight improvement in Caryn Zachmann’s face freeze.

"Actually, Sadam isn’t targeting you. It’s mainly that some of the things you’ve done recently have indeed gone too far. He’s a person with a short temper, who can’t tolerate any sand in his eyes, and may not be able to stand some of your actions. Because of your gender, he can’t directly address you, so he’d rather ignore you."

"I still say the same thing, you need to work through it yourself. Stop constantly trying to compete with Nathalie Quinlan. Amadeus has already publicly acknowledged Nathalie as his girlfriend. It’s time to move on, it’d be less awkward for everyone... if you continue down this path, you’ll only drift further away from Amadeus and the others. Think it through."

Caryn Zachmann’s eyes were wild and scattered, nearly out of breath.

The sting on her face felt like it was burning, unclear since when she had to retreat from Nathalie Quinlan on her own turf!

Caryn Zachmann gripped her phone tightly, using all her strength to control herself from lashing out, speaking softly: "I understand. Don’t worry, Brian, I’ll think it over."

"Alright. I’ll help speak to Sadam for you. You’ve known each other for so many years, as long as you understand, he shouldn’t hold it against you. It’s just that he’s been getting very close to Nathalie lately, so don’t provoke him anymore."

Brian Bonette probably instructed her a few more times, then there was a knocking on the door on the other end of the phone, likely he had something to do, so he didn’t continue speaking with her and hung up.

Caryn Zachmann waited for him to hang up the call, slowly put down her phone, and then looked back towards the recruitment area... Master Cadmus’s laboratory was clearly so close to her, yet at this moment, it felt so far away, as if no matter how she tried, she couldn’t reach it.

Her face showed a mix of pallor and unwillingness, reluctantly withdrawing her gaze.

Just then, Mateo Gordon’s call came in, as Caryn Zachmann walked out of The Ninth Institute with a cold expression while answering the phone, speaking in a cold voice: "Hello?"

On the second floor of Rivendell, a group of second-generation rich from Beijing rented out a private room, lavishly decorated. The room was filled with streamers, and the floor was covered with various flowers, creating a grand atmosphere.

A guy with small yellow hair instructed the waiter at Rivendell to set up the champagne glasses, seeking praise from Mateo Gordon with a fawning look: "Mr. Gordon, how do you like the way I arranged these champagne glasses? Once Ms. Zachmann arrives, we can immediately open a bottle of champagne and pour it from the top, the photo will look incredibly cool~"

Mateo Gordon, seeing the pyramid of champagne glasses on the table, quite satisfied, praised, "Well done!"

The yellow-haired guy sheepishly scratched his head, "...just not sure if Ms. Zachmann will like this design."

Mateo Gordon appeared very familiar with Caryn Zachmann, patting the guy on the shoulder with a grin, "Don’t worry. Ms. Zachmann will definitely like it. When the time comes, I’ll tell her this was your idea, and you’ll surely get your reward..."

"Huh." From a corner, someone heard their words and let out a faint snort of laughter. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

However, her voice was very low, hiding in a corner, basically no one noticed the mocking look in her eyes.
