Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 1716: Enzo and Naylani

"Long story short, Naylani needed Enzo Pierson... to find the coordinates."

Once again, everyone was thrown into a river of questions and confusion. Just moments ago, Zoren had told them the coordinates were imprinted beneath Noel's skin. And now, he was claiming that Enzo Pierson knew them as well?

"I understand it's confusing," Zoren murmured. "But bear with me."

No one spoke. Out of respect for Zoren, they simply listened in silence.

According to him, it was true that the coordinates had been entrusted to Noel Zorken, the third daughter of the Zorken family. However, they didn't come to light until later in the war. Zoren didn't know exactly when Naylani and Nathalie learned of this secret power the late Mr. Zorken had passed down, but based on the timeline, he assumed it was after Noel's death.

And that was where the problem lay.

After Nathalie's forces subjected Charles to unimaginable torture to extract details about Noel's remains, she had also sent someone to infiltrate the base. There, she pressured Charles's commanding officer to hand over Noel's body.

During that time, Naylani's forces managed to locate and rescue Charles.

Meaning Naylani was, once again, a step behind Nathalie, because by the time she rescued Charles, Nathalie had already taken possession of Noel's remains.

But then came another twist. Nathalie discovered that what was embedded inside Noel wasn't the coordinates after all-it was the formula for a lethal drug Noel had created.

In other words, Noel hadn't hidden the coordinates within her. Perhaps she knew death was imminent and that keeping them inside her wouldn't stop Nathalie from dissecting her anyway.

However, because everyone already believed the coordinates were inside Noel, Nathalie spun a lie. A lie big enough to delay Naylani and to sow doubt among those who still supported her.
