Chapter 2398: Those Are My Things

Zevaney Kingsley had come prepared and naturally wanted to leave a good impression on him. So she politely declined: "Mr. Isadora, please sit. I’ll just stand."

Regina Isadora hadn’t expected that even after she’d been left hanging for an hour, Zevaney was neither angry nor upset, and could still read the situation and curry favor with her. She couldn’t help lifting her eyelids and giving the girl another look. "You’re the youngster from the Kingsleys Family who sent me that email?"

Zevaney bowed her head, neither humble nor arrogant. "Yes. I’m very sorry for disturbing you, Mr. Isadora."

Regina looked her up and down again, unhurriedly lifting the glass of water on the table as she asked, "How did you get my email address?"

Zevaney stayed calm and recited what she’d already prepared: "My teacher met you once by chance. He was the one who gave me your email address."

"Your teacher is Nathan Garland?" Regina’s expression didn’t change as she lowered her head and took a sip of water, then slowly set the glass back down and asked her.

Zevaney clearly tensed up. "Yes."

"Nathan Garland’s reputation in Inderia is already rotten, yet you’re still willing to be associated with him." Her tone was openly both mocking and probing.

Zevaney looked up, speaking very earnestly: "Once a teacher, a lifetime like a father. My teacher has treated me very well."

Regina slanted her another glance, but she did not show the attitude Zevaney had imagined—of looking at her with newfound respect. She only said, in a flat, indifferent voice, "Of course he treats you well, otherwise he wouldn’t have hogged his subordinates’ research成果 for your sake."

Zevaney’s Face color shifted slightly as she snapped her head toward Regina.

Regina was looking at her at the same time.

The moment Zevaney’s Line of sight met Regina’s gaze, which seemed to see straight through her, she dropped her head again as quickly as a dog fleeing in embarrassment.

"I didn’t know before what my teacher had done for me. I thought he was giving me his own research成果."

"Heh, save the stories for kids." Regina gave her no face at all. "I don’t care about any of that! I’m just going to ask you one question. Answer me honestly and that’ll be Alright."

Zevaney felt her heart sink, but when she heard her say she didn’t care about the previous Bullying incident, she relaxed a little, looked up and said, "Please go ahead, Mr. Isadora."

Regina didn’t bother circling around: "Those things you sent to my Email—are they yours?"

Countless thoughts flashed through Zevaney’s mind, but in just that split second she made up her mind. Under Regina’s gaze, she slowly nodded and said firmly, "They’re mine."

Regina had been suspicious of her to begin with, but seeing the girl dare to meet her eyes and admit that those things were hers made her believe her, if only thirty percent.

Not long ago, her Email had received a message from a stranger. In the Email signed "Zevaney Kingsley," the girl had written out quite a few projects related to Weapon Manufacturing.

The Hidden Family had always valued the development and research of high-tech Weapons, yet all these years The First Research Institute hadn’t produced a single useful thing.

Zevaney’s appearance was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for her.

The Hidden Family was a利益体 twisted together from hundreds of different Power blocs. The Isadora Family had spent three generations of effort just to barely squeeze into the Circle of Hidden Family.

She might be infinitely glamorous on the outside, but within the Hidden Family she was only one of the bottom-tier families, so their descendants had to play a "role" within the Hidden Family to ensure their family wasn’t kicked out of the Hidden Family ranks.

Martin’s failure this time had made the higher-ups very angry.

If she could seize this chance to prove herself, even if she couldn’t make the Isadora Family move one step higher... it would still be good if she could replace Martin and become the new external hub!

Zevaney was the path she had chosen for pushing the Isadora Family one step further.
