The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 58

The moment she thought of it, Yvonne started to freak out.

“Listen here, don’t you go messing around. Do you have any idea who I am? Do you know who my grandpa is? I’m from the Schnabel family, for crying out loud!”

“Ms. Schnabel? What a coincidence, I was actually looking for a Ms. Schnabel. Since you took. on my order, you should play by the rules, right?”

Yvonne was totally lost. Order? What order?

She had been strapped for cash lately and hadn’t hit the card tables in ages. There couldn’t possibly be an order, could there?

The driver’s voice turned fierce, and his arm, bulging with veins, sported a tattoo of a mountain peak. The scar on his face made him look all the more ferocious!

Yvonne was like, “What”

What was he on about with this Phantom Surgeon Lunaris business? Was he talking about that billion–dollar order from the deep web?

She wanted to say something else, but then she got clonked on the back of her head and blacked out, eyes rolling back.

“Not that many, Daddy. I didn’t have much choice. Milford said he’d dump me if I didn’t show him, and he said it’s all in the family anyway, right? Once we’re married, we’re all one big happy family, aren’t we?”

Belinda also stepped in to calm Vincent down, “Exactly, honey. Besides, our family’s business doesn’t even overlap with the Rosenberg family’s. It’s probably all just a coincidence. And when Briony marries into their family, we’ll be able to peek at the Rosenberg family’s contracts too, right?”

Vincent was like, well, when you put it that way…

better than the Lambert family by a long shot. Plus, Milford was definitely a stand–up guy: otherwise, he wouldn’t have helped fix up the Lambert ancestral home.
