The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 51

Lily explained, “Miss Noella is here for an experiment, not to visit Mr. Schnabel”

Experiment?

How old is this young girl? Does she even understand medicine? Know what a medical experiment is?

Noella looked past everyone’s stares and said, “I’ve got someone joining me, hope that’s cool with you guys?”

Everybody was shocked.

“Noella, do you think you’re on a picnic or something? Even if you are Mr. Schnabel’s sister, you can’t just disrespect science like that!”

Lily was in a bit of a bind too – Mr. Schnabel hadn’t mentioned Noella was bringing someone

along!

“Miss Noella, our lab has some pretty strict standards, and it might not be convenient for your friend to come in.”

“No worries, they should have an access pass.

The group of doctors exchanged puzzled looks.

What does this Noella think our lab is, a free–for–all? Does she think anyone can waltz in just

like that?

Like a bolt of lightning. Calvin zipped in from outside, worried sick about missing out on Noella’s experiment.

“Noella, I’m here, I’m here! You haven’t started yet, have you? I haven’t missed it, right? I don’t care! Even if you’ve started, you gotta let me in on it!”

“You’d be late if you were any slower. Come on in, but you can only be my assistant.”

Calvin nodded so hard you’d think his head would fall off. “Being an assistant is awesome! I’d be down to be your cheerleader just to see you experiment!”

Noella didn’t need a cheerleader for her experiment.

Calvin followed Noella into Ulrich’s lab, and the doctors were about to lose it!

This was Professor Calvin! Anyone in the medical research field would recognize him! And he’s so stoked about being an assistant to a high schooler!

The doctors who were looking down on Noella earlier were freaking out, rushing to ask Lily, “Lily, what’s the deal with Noella? How come we’ve never heard of the young lady having any scientific achievements before.”

“She’s Mr. Schnabel’s own sister, so could she be a genius like him? No way! We’ve gotta see
