The True Heiress Slays (Quiana) novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12

The guy was only about eighteen or nineteen, dressed in a white shirt and black pants. His eyes were bright and good- looking, full of youthful energy, like a beam of sunshine.

Cassie eyed the guy and hesitated, “Just now… you called someone Mrs. Hawley? Who are you talking about?”

The guy pointed at Quiana, grinning widely. Her!”

Cassie was dumbfounded.

Hugo panicked, his eyes wide. “Quiana, when did you get married? How come I didn’t know? And he calls you Mrs. Hawley? Don’t tell me you’ve married some old guy?”

Cassie and the guy both felt speechless.

Quiana slapped Hugo on the back of the head. He stumbled forward, almost falling but managed to catch himself, rubbing his head and pouting. I was joking…

Quiana ignored him, raising an eyebrow at the guy, her beautiful eyes cold. “Do I know you?”

“You don’t know me, but I know you!” The guy seemed a bit excited and introduced himself, “I’m Nolan. Julius is my uncle, and since you’re engaged to him, I should call you Mrs. Hawley!”

Cassic gasped. “You are a Hawley!?”

The Hawley family of Janivielle was a powerful clan, at the top of the social ladder, untouchable by anyone. And Julius. though physically weak, was the master who ruled the city; a name known and feared by everyone in Janivielle.

After seeing Nolan nod, Cassie looked at Quiana with even more shock. “Quiana, you…”

Quiana’s eyes narrowed slightly, and she said casually, “Don’t know him.”

Hugo retorted in his heart. Just this morning, she sold a pill to Julius, using him as a test subject. Now she said she didn’t.

Hugo touched his nose, staying quiet. Hearing the faint noises from the cat box behind him, he figured it was shaken earlier. He reached out to pat it, signaling it to stay calm.

Nolan wasn’t discouraged and grinned. “Well, now that we’ve met, Julius is actually ranked as the most handsome man in

Clusia.”

Quiana remained expressionless. “Never seen him. She had things to do today and didn’t have time for Nolan’s nonsense. Hands in her pockets, she strolled casually toward the set in the old city.

Cassie and Hugo followed closely behind Quiana.

Nolan, not willing to give up, caught up with Quiana. “You haven’t seen him yet, but you will someday. Are you

extra too? What a coincidence, I am as well, maybe we’re even on the same set.”

Nolan chattered on like a magpie, giving all the details without being asked

Cassie looked at Nolan strangely. “But you’re a young master of the Hawley family. Which director would dare to hire you?”

Nolan scratched his head, a bit embarrassed, and said with a smile, “Isn’t there an esports scene in the show? My cousin and the gaming company sponsored it and invited us pro players to play as extras.”

When she heard that, Cassie was surprised. “It wouldn’t happen to be Eternal Team, would it?”

“I’m the captain.” Nolan said proudly, his eyes lighting up with excitement as he looked at them. “Have you seen any of my

matches?”

Quiana remained expressionless, “Never seen them”

Cassie tugged at the corner of her mouth. “Well… I’m the third female lead in this series…” She didn’t really follow games, but the script had a few scenes about them. She overheard that they’d hired a professional esports team.

Nolan’s smile froze for a moment, and with hope, he asked, “Do you know our team? Do you know what game we play?”

Quiana, with her usual calm demeanor, concisely replied, “No idea.”
