The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 105

Ulrich’s furrowed brow deepened as he glared at the medical chart in front of him.

Yvonne had the nerve to call him in just to treat Vincent? Did the Lamberts actually think they deserved his medical expertise? Why couldn’t they just drop dead and be done with it!

Memories of the conversation he’d overheard on the phone flooded back–whispers that Noella had been spotted at the hospital, perhaps even in the maternity ward.

Damn it all! The Lamberts must be spreading vile rumors about Noella! He should have done more than just have someone rough them up a bit; that was far too kind for their ilk!

Just as Wren had dug up, the Lamberts were a greedy, conscienceless lot.

Ulrich shuddered to think of what Noella must have endured with them before. The thought alone was enough to twist his heart in pain.

Noella noticed Ulrich’s growing agitation with the chart–his teeth clenched, his face contorted with a burning vengeance, looking as if he might rip the chart to shreds right then and there–and felt a twinge of confusion.

Ulrich was known to be the most even–tempered of the Schnabels.

“Ulrich, who’s sick?” she asked.

Ulrich quickly tucked the chart away and flashed a tender, warm smile. “It’s nobody important, just an annoying bug. Not worth our attention.”

He gently stroked Noella’s silky hair and covertly exchanged a knowing glance with Palmer.

“Noella, you just focus on eating. I’ll go check on things.”

The moment Ulrich stepped out of the office, the spring breeze of his smile vanished, replaced by an icy, steely resolve.

Annie approached with a respectful bow. “Dr. Schnabel, I’m Mr. Pollack’s assistant. Ms. Yvonne is currently in the underground parking garage.”

As a capable assistant, Annie knew precisely what to do the instant she saw Ulrich emerge–a Schnabel through and through, he was surely out for blood now.
