Hansel Kingsley, for the family honor, indeed thought as she expected, pondered slightly then said, "Zevaney Kingsley cannot publicly apologize to you. You can propose another request, but not this one."

Nathalie Quinlan nodded, not bargaining with him, picked up her phone, and said: "Alright, if she doesn’t apologize, I’ll put this matter on the WLA forum."

As soon as she spoke, everyone’s faces changed.

The WLA forum gathers the world’s tech giants; Nathalie’s issue on the WLA forum won’t just embarrass the Kingsleys Family, but also the First Research Institute will lose face together!

"Nathalie Quinlan, are you threatening me?" Hansel Kingsley gasped, eyes glaring at the girl, his chest heaving irregularly, evidently infuriated by her. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

How dare she openly fall out with the Kingsleys Family!

The girl, however, didn’t mind, her brow and eyes calm as she looked at him unwaveringly: "Which rule says only you can threaten others, but they can’t threaten you?"

The question left Hansel Kingsley at a loss, unable to answer for quite a while.

Nathalie didn’t want to waste words with them either, picked up her stuff, glanced back at the Kingsleys Family group with a faint smile, then retracted her gaze, and casually put her hands in her pockets, looking indifferent.

"I’ll give you half a day to think it over. If Zevaney Kingsley doesn’t publicly apologize to my group members at the First Research Institute within half a day, I’ll make a big deal of it."

"..." Hansel Kingsley looked at her in shock, his fingertips trembling slightly due to excessive emotional agitation.

It’s evident Nathalie had pushed him to what extent.

James Lawrence had never seen Hansel Kingsley this angry before, his heart tight, looking at the unruly girl, opened his mouth but dared not call out ’Miss’ in public.

Now, no one knows Nathalie is their Kingsleys Family’s direct-line descent who was lost outside, still thinking she’s just a country bumpkin from Zenla.

If he reveals Nathalie’s identity now, their situation will only become more awkward.

While James Lawrence hesitated, the girl had already reached the door, casually threw a line: "Remember this, stay away from me next time."

Nathalie didn’t specify who she was talking to, but Zevaney had a strong premonition that the girl’s words were directed at her.

At that moment, a surge of intense shame and anger rose in her chest, yet before she knew it, Nathalie was already out of the office.

She watched helplessly as the other party walked away, but was utterly powerless against it!

In the small laboratory of the First Research Institute.

Wincent Sullivan, Agnes Baker, and Williansen Barness were anxiously waiting for the results.

Williansen Barness was calm.

He’s always composed.

Wincent Sullivan and Agnes Baker were more agitated, frequently looking outside, their complexion not great, clearly worried about Nathalie.

Agnes Baker was quiet for a long while, suddenly shook her hand, paced back and forth in the small laboratory, looked up, gazed at the two, frowned and said: "Do you think Mr. Hoffman, the leader of the Level 3 laboratory, will really support Nathalie?"

She abruptly asked the question.

Wincent Sullivan and Williansen Barness simultaneously looked at her.

Agnes Baker bit her lip, very worried: "She said she’d protect Nathalie, but I’m always worried... she might change her mind."

Wincent Sullivan was anxious, yet had to comfort her with words: "No way, Mr. Hoffman said he’d be on our side, he’ll definitely protect Nathalie."

"Agnes Baker, don’t overthink it." He also looked to Williansen Barness for help, turned to ask him: "Williansen, what do you think?"
