The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 57

The whole Lunar Lab members were steamed about Belinda and Vincent for what they used to treat Noella.

When Noella was an infant, It was actually the Belinda’s parents from the Fuller family who were taking care of her. But then old Mrs. Lambert came to see her granddaughter and found. out they were dissing her for being a girl, only willing to feed her plain water – Noella nearly didn’t make it!

If old Mrs. Lambert hadn’t swooped in and taken care of her, dotting every ‘I‘ and crossing every ‘t. there would be no way they’d have such a kick–ass and beautiful boss now.

Did the Fuller family really think kids grow up on dew or something?

Noella’s moves became so slick because she used to scrap with bears in the backwoods and deep forests as a kid!

And yet, Briony was always kept close by their side, under the pretense that Belinda needed a nanny. Now the Fuller family had their eyes on old Mrs. Lambert’s grave, planning to snatch it away!

“Boss, what on earth is Belinda thinking? It’s not like she can do anything with that grave!”

Noella frowned and asked, “Aren’t the Fuller parents still alive?”

“That’s just it. They say it’s a plot they’re eyeing for themselves, thinking old Mrs. Lambert’s got a jackpot and they want to be buried there when they kick the bucket!”

What a bunch of jokers this family is, squabbling with the dead over a piece of land.

“Tell Vincent that spot is a once–in–a–century find, that their descendants are sure to strike it rich if they get it.”

Alkaid nodded, grinding his teeth in frustration.

“I bet even if we tell Vincent, he’ll still get sweet–talked by Belinda. What if they really mess with the grave?”

Noella sighed, her delicate brows knitting together slightly.

“Don’t worry, if they dare touch Grandma’s grave, I’ll make them regret it.”

Alkaid breathed a sigh of relief with Noella’s word, he could rest easy.

Back in the office, Beckett had pulled up all of Yvonne’s school records, including every instance of her having someone else attend classes and take exams on her behalf.

“What does the school want to do about it?” he asked the director.

The director hesitated for a moment but then answered honestly, “Repeat the year, retake all
