Chapter 715 Got Snubbed Again
"Dad, have you ever heard if Belle has rtions with us, the Cole family? She frowned, seeming to be
thinking about something."
Nuncio raised his head.
He thought of something and shook his head.
"In fact, when he was very young, he had heard of vian, his biological uncle, who had developed an
intense rtionship with a woman and ignored his grandfather''s objections. He had married the
woman, who then gave birth to a daughter, angering his grandfather. Then, his grandfather had
disowned him and chased him out. He then met his demise out there."
"However, these had all been brought up by the elders back home. At that time, he was very young and
didn''t understand such adults'' matters. Thus, he paid no heed to it."
"Dad, it seems that Madam Lilian is not very willing to help. Then, your task may not be able to be
"Nuncio narrowed his eyes and said, ""You should go to bed first. It''s my business. You don''t have to
worry about it. What about you? When will you find your Mr. Right?"""
Jaqueline''s face blushed the moment she heard that.
"Dad, I''ll be leaving first. She didn''t want to talk to Nuncio about this problem, but avoiding it was not
the right way. She was not young anymore. Year after year, Nuncio dredged up this topic more
frequently whenever he saw her."
"Nuncio stared at her back and shook his head. Right then, his daughter''s marriage was really giving
him a hard time. "N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.
"As night enveloped the dark garden, the Ink Garden was quiet and peaceful, with the breeze blowing
gently. The ambience was still immersed in the atmosphere of Sophia''s passing."
Madam Lilian stood in front of the window and looked at the Ink Garden that was engulfed in darkness.
She heaved a sigh of relief.
"Madam, it seems that Nuncio has motives for staying here. Quina stood by and mentioned it with a
smile on her face."
"The corner of Madam Lilian''s mouth twitched, and her eyes were gloomy."
"When Nuncio hade to propose a toast to her, she immediately understood his intentions."
"As a political figure, she had a keen eye for political intent."
"Therefore, she avoided him skillfully."
"Madam, he probably came to ask you for your help in the current controversial issues in international
politics. Quina sighed, and her tone was weak."
Madam Lilian turned around and slowly paced to the couch to sit down have a seat
"After a while, she looked away from the screen and stated calmly, ""Quina, this is a topic rted to
territorial disputes. It is a matter stemming from historicalplexities and can''t be solved through
political and diplomatic means."""
Quina nodded and handed her a ss of water and a few pills.
"Madam, it''s time for your medicine. She reminded her in a low voice."
"Okay, thank you. Madam Lilian put down the tablet, took both the water and medicine, and swallowed
them in one gulp."
"Madam, now, a country is using this as an excuse tounch a war against Tambend. It also has
been divided into several small states to besiege this country, making the situation look unpromising.
Nuncio probably came to ask for your help under the cab''s pressure. Madam, it is true that you
cannot change the status quo. After all, this is not a small matter, but a deep-rooted national crisis,
Quina exined, but the issue gnawed at her all the same. If Madam Lilian could express her opinions
on behalf of the United Nations and vote against it during the United Nations'' meeting, then it might
ease Tambend''s diplomatic ties to an unprecedented effect and win the public sense of justice. This
way, many smaller countries would dare to take a stand and support Tambend''s situation. This was
indeed a good choice and an excellent opportunity, but Madam Lilian might not be willing to do so."
"That was so, unless the Minister of Foreign Affairs was someone else!"
"Of course, if she stood by Madam Lilian''s side, then Quina did not want her to do this. She also had a
position to take care of. Doing this would offend many people, and she might not please them at all."
"At that time, Madam Lilian looked up at her and asked, ""Quina, what do you think I should do?"""
"After hearing this, Quina smiled and said, ""Madam, we are both of Tambend heritage. We may
have left this country and no longer belong here, but it would be great if we could assist this country.
But considering your position in certain political systems, Madam, you belong to the United Nations,
which is a global organization. You have toply with the contract of its legal system. It is not
advisable to help out because of personal feelings, for it gives off a biased outlook, and it is very likely
to offend certain countries and be pressured by them."""
"Madam Lilian nodded and answered thoughtfully, ""That''s true. This is also the reason why I ignored
Nuncio."""
"But he will not give up, Quina answered immediately, based on her own political experience. As
Madam Lilian''s secretary, she should think about the problems between Madam Lilian and the global
situation. Therefore, she did not want Madam Lilian to be involved in this. After all, the consequences
of offending a country would not be good."
"Madam Lilian''s facial muscles twitched, and a sharp light shed behind the lens of her sses. The
expression on her face was inscrutable."
"If she wanted to do something, then no one could stop her. It was just offending some big countries,
wasn''t it? At the very worst, she could just step down."
"However, at that moment, she didn''t want to do this, not at all."
Quina looked at Madam Lilian and racked her brains.
"The most influential man of the previous era had been cast off because he had offended a certain
country. Besides, he was extremely close to being assassinated. She, as a secretary, had to factor in
all these potential dangers."
It was just that she would never be able to guess what Madam Lilian''s methods were. For so many
years she had never relied on luck to get herself to this position.
"Moreover, Madam Lilian was very concerned about Kate and Belle. Would this have any effect?"
She was pondering about it.
The doorbell rang.
Quina stepped forward and peered through the peephole. Nuncio was standing respectfully outside the
door.
"She immediately walked over and announced smilingly, ""Madam, Nuncio Cole is here."""
"Madam Lilian raised her eyes. She was obviously a little tired of this topic and was no longer willing to
say anything else. She immediately ordered coldly, ""Tell him that I''m already resting. Let''s talk about it
tomorrow if there''s anything."""
"This was to be expected. Quina smiled, nodded, and agreed."
Nuncio got snubbed again and left.
"Madam, your obvious refusal is a little embarrassing. In fact, even if there are troubles which you can''t
help or are unwilling to assist, you can change your way of rejection. Quina reminded her subtly."
"Madam Lilianughed in disdain and stubbornly said, ""Regarding the Cole Family, I have never had a
good impression of them. There''s no need to entertain them."""
"After hearing that, Quina didn''t know whether tough or to cry."
"At that time, Madam Lilian was not like a political figure at all. Instead, she was like a child who was
impulsive. Perhaps, only the Cole family could make her lose herposure like this. This was her
weakness."
"Therefore, there were many vLexiebles in this matter."
