The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 56

Briony was green with envy!

“Theard the boss of Triple Entertain Media is an old geezer, over fifty, and just so happens to have the last name Schnabel, Now Noella’s going by Noella Schnabel–don’t tell me she’s snagged herself a sugar daddy or something.”

Stuff like that isn’t exactly unheard of in showbiz.

Milford was itching just looking at that poster. If Noella really was planning to make her debut. it could be a sweet deal. As long as he had some dirt on her past, he could make sure she’d be eating out of his hand!

Briony was a hot mess, planning to grill Noella about the whole deal as soon as she got home.

If Noella really did enter the limelight, she wouldn’t last two minutes!

Meanwhile the director escorted Noella and Beckett to the university president’s office. respectfully handing over some documents.

“Mr. Schnabel here’s Ms. Yvonne’s school record. She barely got into school because Ashlyn donated a building, plus she had the Imperial City residency… her academic foundations are pretty shaky.”

Beckett, without breaking a sweat, pulled out a fine cup, poured Noella some water, checked the temperature with his hand, and handed it to her before asking in a cool tone, “I won’t bother reading the documents. Just give me the gist. Yvonne’s been a poor student from the get–go. but do you think that justifies her being bullied by her classmates?”

The director’s head shook like a bobblehead.

“Are you joking, Mr. Schnabel? Who in their right mind would dare pick on Marcel’s granddaughter?”

She’d be lucky not to bully someone herself…

Beckett knew Marcel’s character; the Schnabel family kids went to school without him flaunting his clout to get them perks, let alone using his status to push people around.

Frowning, he asked, “Has my grandfather come to visit Yvonne at school?”

“Nope, the old Mr. Schnabel is busy; no time for that. It was Yvonne herself who announced she was his granddaughter at the inauguration ceremony.”

Marcel might be low–key, but that didn’t stop others from making a big deal of it!

Beckett was speechless.

“Since enrolling. Yvonne rarely attends classes, claiming to be caring for the old Mr. Schnabel
