James Lawrence quickly raised his head and secretly glanced at him.

Hansel Kingsley squinted his eyes, the danger evident in them: "She has repeatedly rejected my goodwill, insists on not coming back, and constantly embarrasses the Kingsleys Family. I can’t continue to tolerate her like this. This time, I must teach her a lesson!"

"Inderia is not a place where she can stir up trouble!"

James Lawrence’s heart pounded, wanting to speak on behalf of the girl, but the current situation didn’t allow him to intervene. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

After all, the Kingsleys Family had just lost face in The First Research Institute because of Nathalie’s actions.

Zevaney Kingsley had been humiliated.

It was as if the Kingsleys Family was publicly humiliated.

The Family’s face had been thoroughly slapped this time.

He couldn’t speak well for Nathalie anymore!

Hansel Kingsley closed his eyes, feeling somewhat unresolved. He didn’t particularly like Nathalie, but he valued her talent and hated not being able to use her for the family. He pressed his lips together, the thin line of his lips making a sharp line. He instructed James Lawrence, "The birthday matter you mentioned about Zevaney earlier... I’ve reconsidered. I happen to be free that day, and since she invited me, I’ll still go."

His intention was to elevate Zevaney!

That wasn’t what he said before when he wanted Nathalie to come back.

James Lawrence quickly lifted his head again but saw that Hansel Kingsley’s face wasn’t good, so he dared not say much: "Yes."

"I will personally deliver an invitation to Mr. Fuller later to see if he’s free that day, if he can come." Hansel Kingsley continued, clearly determined to support Zevaney to the end.

Zevaney had lost face at the institute this time, but if Nicholas Fuller were willing to condescend to attend her birthday party, all of Zevaney’s negative images today would be overshadowed by his presence!

Zevaney would still be the promising rookie of the institute!

"As for the auction, you make the arrangements." Hansel Kingsley didn’t say more to him, and after giving the instructions, he got up and left.

James Lawrence stood there awkwardly for a while, stomped his feet, sighed, and still decided to follow the orders he was given.

On the other side, Amadeus Yancey was also discussing the auction with the girl.

"In a few days, there will be a large underground auction in Inderia. Are you going?" He held a coffee transfusion device in hand, filled with freshly brewed coffee.

Amadeus took out two cups, one for himself and one for Nathalie.

He elegantly poured a cup for the girl first, handed it over with a raised eyebrow, and said, "There will be Flesh Ganoderma at this auction."

Nathalie took a sip of her coffee.

Amadeus knew her taste well, not adding sugar to the coffee, embracing its bitter flavor, which Nathalie quite liked. She took another sip, raising her head just as the man mentioned the underground auction and Flesh Ganoderma.

She placed the coffee cup on the table, looking a bit surprised, glanced at him, and asked softly, "Are you sure there’s Flesh Ganoderma at this auction?"

"Yes." Amadeus replied lazily, his deep eyes watching her, speaking slowly: "I asked clearly, the Flesh Ganoderma is from a small Inderia family’s collection. Their family is facing some crisis and needs money, so they decided to sell their collection. The quality of this Flesh Ganoderma is no less than that of McKinney’s. Interested, Nathalie the Goddess?"

Nathalie tapped her fingers lightly on the rim, glanced at him with frustration, and retorted with annoyance, "...Can’t you stop calling me that?"
