The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 43

Annie said with anticipation, “The shindig at the Schnabel Manor is really something today.”

As a senior assistant to the president of the Pollack Group, Annie had her fair share of fancy lady friends in her social circle.

“I saw a bunch of girls posting selfies with Ms. Yvonne Schnabel. Though it’s her birthday bash, Ms. Schnabel dressed pretty plainly. I have no clue how she passed that high society etiquette class.”

High–end birthday parties came with a whole set of complicated do’s and don’ts!

Yvonne’s sporting a dress with like ten layers of lace and this huge, ridiculous hat – totally not the vibe for a birthday party.

“Her etiquette skills aren’t my problem. I’ll head over when the birthday party kicks off tonight.”

The disdain Palmer had for Yvonne was plain as day in his voice!

“Right, I’ll get ready then.” Annie bowed and left Palmer’s study.

Standing in front of the massive floor–to–ceiling window was a man with a statuesque figure and handsome features as perfectly chiseled as an ice sculpture, exuding an air of absolute authority! He glanced at his phone, eyebrows knitting slightly.

“Busy today? Or some mission from the Obelisk Organization?”

Noella hadn’t replied to his messages all day!

The conversation was still on yesterday’s transaction, where Noella sent him a hundred bucks, jokingly labeled ‘taxi fare‘!

This was probably the smallest amount of money Palmer had ever received in his life!

Yet, it excited him more than his first 100 million dollars when he was fifteen. His business empire was all under his thumb, but Noella… he had to admit she had him all twisted up!

A wave of sheer joy swept over him; he couldn’t wait to see her!

Palmer pocketed his phone and looked out over the Schnabel family’s blooming estate.

No rush!

Once he successfully broke off the engagement today, he would be free to chase after her!

Meanwhile, at the Schnabel Mansion.

From top to bottom, even the family dog’s collar was worth a whopping ten grand. Each servant scrubbed up three times and donned fresh threads just for this birthday event!
