Zach has been to Quinn Manor many times, and the mix of Indian and modern styles doesn't make Zach feel anything. But it was obviously the first time for Amelia. As soon as she stepped onto the carpet with the bald eagle pattern in the front hall, she began to feel uneasy.
No wonder others, the traditional culture of the Indians admires creatures in nature, such as the fountain statues of fish-men and eagles in the front yard of the manor.
As for Mrs. Quinn’s knowledge, or the Indian culture she is passionate about, we can understand from the misunderstanding of the soul-inducing grass at Mr. Quinn’s funeral. In fact, it is just like a joke and has nothing to do with faith. . It is still the statue of Gabriel that determines Quinn's faith.
Due to wrong cultural perceptions and conflicts of faith, the decoration style of Quinn Manor looks very weird to ordinary people.
Under the care of Mrs. Quinn, Amanda greeted the two of them. Her eyes glanced at Amelia next to Zach intentionally or unintentionally. God knows what she was thinking.
"Ms. Browning." Amanda nodded slightly, "Please go to the reception room. Mr. Grande, please wait."
Zach nodded, as expected.
"Isn't he with me?" But Amelia obviously didn't expect that Zach wouldn't be with her. You must know that Amelia didn't know what Zach said to Mrs. Quinn at the banquet. Success Mrs. Jean Quinn is willing to help the shelter, but since Zach is so useful, how could he not continue to use it? !
Amanda looked at Zach, as if she didn't know how to answer, "Uh..." Then she simply didn't answer. Amanda gestured in the direction, "Miss, come this way, the person in charge of the Quinn Charitable Foundation is waiting for you."
Amelia looked at Zach, frowned, and then looked at Amanda, "Won't Mrs. Quinn come forward in person?"
Obviously this was another question that Amanda didn't know how to answer. "Miss, please..."
Of course Mrs. Queen will not show up!
Emilia is just a cover at this time, Mrs. Quinn just needs a valid reason to bring Zach to solve the family scandal-Porky!
At the luncheon, Zach sent a message to Mrs. Quinn on behalf of Amelia, asking Quinn to help the shelter. When he finally left, he whispered to Mrs. Quinn surrounded by bodyguards (Mrs. Barton heard nearby). Although the behavior is 'suspicious', it is not public after all.
The priority of the two things is obvious. Mrs. Quinn would of course leave personal appearances to the latter. Amelia took one last look at Zach, twitched her lips, and followed Amanda away.
Zach didn't waste any energy thinking about what Amelia was thinking at this time. It must be malicious anyway. He waited quietly for Amanda to come back and led him up to the second floor and directly to the small balcony in the atrium.
It's time for afternoon tea. Zach had also experienced Mrs. Quinn's trip before, so he was not surprised. On the way, he was already thinking about what kind of tea Mrs. Quinn, who loved tea, would give him this time.
"That Miss Browning, Madam said, is she a psychiatrist?" This is Quinn Manor, so the area is, well, everyone knows. There was plenty of transition time, and Amanda jumped at the chance. With a little shyness unique to young women.
I have to say that this is a very good cure for Zach's self-esteem. Our vampire said with a smile on his face, "Yes, I don't know if you remember Detective James Lance? She was his counselor." Doctor." Zach, who was in a good mood, was naturally willing to have a harmless chat.
"Ha, I remember!" Amanda remembered the interesting things from the past. James asked Grande to go to the bar to observe the alien Madison. The phone message arrived at Quinn Manor. At that time, Zach directly disowned the relationship and attributed the... uh, 'gentleman' meaning represented by the bar to James. Now, one more deduction.
Amanda turned to Zach and smiled. Then he raised his eyebrows, "So this doctor is very powerful and can tutor Detective Lance."
Zach raised his eyebrows, "Yeah, Dr. Browning and I are not familiar with each other, they are just friends of friends."
"Oh." Amanda seemed happy to hear such a reply, and her steps became brisk unconsciously. However, she could not be brisk for too long. She lowered her head in front, her body tilted to one side of the corridor for some reason, looked back at Zach, and then gestured to a certain room on the other side of the corridor, with an irritated look on her face. look.
Zach didn't ask, just followed Amanda's line of sight and looked at the room. He looked at the closed door as he passed by, and he probably guessed it.
"Porky's room." Amanda explained in a low voice after she was far away from the room, with suppressed annoyance in her tone. After all, Porky was still one of her masters.
Just being disturbed by a room, the relaxed atmosphere completely dissipated. Without another word, Amanda lowered her head and led Zach directly to the balcony in front of the atrium, nodded slightly, and backed away.
Zach still remembered the last time he came to the balcony of Quinn Manor. In order to facilitate the conversation, Mrs. Quinn canceled the afternoon tea companions, only Grande's brother and Mrs. Quinn herself. This time, it really felt like an afternoon tea scene.
However, it seemed that no one present was interested in tasting the refreshments. Seeing Zach finally appear, Mrs. Quinn's originally somewhat distracted eyes were slightly focused. Mrs. Quinn on the side frowned, raised her cane, and touched the empty seat, which was regarded as asking the guests to take their seats on behalf of the host.
Smith, who was leaning against the balcony fence, behaved appropriately every time he saw that. He nodded slightly towards Zach, patted Nuo who was in a daze next to him, walked towards the small round table with exquisite shape, and sat down together.
There were five people sitting around a small round table. It wasn't crowded, but the atmosphere was really bad enough. Even Zach, a master at starting conversations, didn't know how to conduct this destined to be weird conversation.
The uncomfortable silence was interrupted by Mrs. Barton.
"Grand!" Mrs. Barton tapped her tea cup impatiently with her fingers, "You are the reason why we are here, do you still want us to ask?!"
To be honest, Mrs. Button doesn't need to be here because it has nothing to do with her, but seeing Mrs. Kunyu's absent-minded look, Mrs. Button's company becomes indispensable. This was an example before him, breaking the awkward silence so forcefully that Zach had no choice but to speak.
"Sorry." Zach glanced at Nuo, who was the only person present who could understand Zach, and then shifted his gaze, "Can I first ask what happened at the banquet after I left?"
Mrs. Barton's impatience led Smith to take over the task of answering. "The banquet was interrupted. What you said when you left was too important. We had to seal off the Lister Building and conduct a search." Smith glanced at Mrs. Quinn. , "We cannot allow the person who is trying to harm Mrs. Quinn to flee the scene."
Makes sense.
Zach continued to ask, "What about the result?" It was also a reasonable thing. A group of ordinary people, even the most powerful person in Barton, could not pose a threat to the Indian wizard.
"We found this." Smith took out something wrapped in a handkerchief from his pocket. He did not put it on the table, but unfolded it in his hand. "'Varmina' was found on a waiter's body. , he refused to tell us the source."
Zach tried not to look at what Smith was holding, and shifted his gaze directly from Smith's face to Mrs. Quinn, "So you should believe what I said, right?"
Yes. The first thing Zach confirmed at the beginning of this meeting was that the West End people should trust Zach, even if what Zach said to Mrs. Quinn meant that your grandson is going to kill you again. (..)
