The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 46

Tristan has no idea how vast Marcel’s connections were!

Yvonne’s eyes nearly popped out of her head when she saw that mountain of gifts worth at king’s ransom!

A ghostly voice whispered in Yvonne’s ear.

“Yvonne, where do you think you’re going?”

“Ah! Elara, you scared the bejeezus out of me!”

Elara was so close to Yvonne’s ear when she spoke that Yvonne practically jumped out of her skin!

“Cut the act. You’re the one who leaked that video, right? You showed it to me before. Don’t you dare say someone swiped your phone and played it at Noella’s birthday party on purpose!”

Yvonne was crying up a storm, all choked up. “I was just looking out for Noella! What if she’s got a crush on someone and doesn’t want to marry Mr. Pollack? I can’t bear to see her unhappy! Elara, how could you think I did it on purpose?”

Elara frowned at Yvonne, making her squirm with guilt.

The four Schnabel sons were on high alert, ready to bounce Palmer if he even hinted at stealing their sister away.

“It’s my granddad; he’s hoping Noella would come to see him. And someone from the Schnabel family bought some trending searches that were harmful to both our families. I’ve dealt with it. but you still have the right to know.”

Tristan tensed up. “What trending searches?”

Annie handed over a phone, respectfully saying, “Mr. Schnabel, it was Miss Yvonne who bought the searches, claiming she’s the only daughter of the Schnabel family.”

“Shoot, how could I forget about that Yvonne girl?” Tristan looked around but couldn’t spot Yvonne anywhere. “What was she thinking, buying that kind of trending search? Thank
