The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 104

Chapter 104

The silence outside the operating room was deafening. No one spoke, all eyes filled with Inexplicable wariness and vigilance as they landed on the flamboyantly dressed Yvonne, who seemed to have materialized out of nowhere,

Palmer had promised Noella a peaceful surgery, and he wasn’t about to let anyone, especially not Yvonne, disrupt that promise,

His eyelids flickered with a glint of icy determination. The unspoken threat in his gaze was as clear as the low atmospheric pressure before a storm, intensely focused on Yvonne.

“Get out!” His voice was a growl.

Yvonne was taken aback by Palmer’s ferocity.

Why was he being so harsh?

“Palmy,” she whimpered, tears welling up in her eyes. “You’ve been duped by Noella. She was here at this hospital, avoiding her own family clinic- there must be something wrong. My sources saw her heading to the maternity ward. Palmy, she must be carrying another man’s child! You mustn’t be fooled!”

Palmer was rattled by her clamor and didn’t want her theatrics to impact Noella’s concentration.

He lifted a hand, his index finger giving a slight waggle.

Thorpe, who had been anxiously crouched on the floor, surged to his feet with a menacing aura. Anyone disrupting his brother’s operation was a dead man walking.

Yvonne remembered Thorpe’s face and cowered at the sight of him, collapsing on the floor in

terror.

“Palmy, this man kidnapped me once! He’s bad news! Why are you with him?”

Palmer spared Yvonne not a glance, his eyes flicking to Thorpe.

“If she compromises the operation, you know what to do,” he said ‘coolly.

Thorpe approached Yvonne, his fists creaking like sandbags ready to spill their deadly contents. He might not be a match for Palmer, but he was certain he could handle this meddlesome woman.

Thorpe said coldly, “Idiot.”

Yvonne scrambled backward in panic, her feet kicking up a storm on the sterile floor.

Before she could beg for mercy, Thorpe scooped her up off the floor like a rag doll, clamping a hand over her mouth and slinging her over his shoulder.
