The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 77

After Briony hung up the phone, she was freaking out and her hands were shaking like crazy as she managed to get through to Milford.

Milford had been living it up these past few days, partying hard and hitting up all the chicks around him, having the time of his life.

When Milford got Briony’s call, he didn’t even think twice before hanging up on her.

“Mr. Rosenberg, ain’t Ms. Lambert your fiancée? Looks like she’s checking in on you!”

Milford scoffed and lit up a cigarette. “She’s already cramping my style before we’re hitched, acting like she’s the lady of the Rosenbergs! She’s definitely got no good news there. I’m not dealing with her.”

The phone wouldn’t stop ringing, and Milford, with no other choice, picked up again.

“Milford! Something’s happened to my parents! Please, you gotta help me! Briony’s voice, all teary and shaky, came through the speaker, while Milford, still playing cards, gave the model beside him a kiss.

“Mhm, what’s up? Spell it out.”

“Some… someone kidnapped my parents, and they’re beating up my dad! They’re saying they need five million to let them go, and I don’t have so much cash. Milford, please, you gotta save my folks!”

Milford was surprised, “Five million? Is Mr. Lambert worth that much?”

“What’s that supposed to mean, Milford? Just help us out; once my folks are safe, we’ll pay your

back!”

Milford didn’t have that kind of dough on him either.

Plus, Briony’s family nearly lost all face just yesterday at Imperial West Hospital, and Mrs. Rosenberg made it clear he should keep his distance from Briony.

That girl from the ghetto wasn’t fit to step foot in the Rosenberg estate.

“Look, Briony, you should chill out. I ain’t got that much cash either so better ask someone else.”
