The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 106

Did Ulrich mean that he’s gonna cut her connection with the Schnabel family?

No, that couldn’t happen!

How could Ulrich even entertain the thought of casting her aside for Noella, that country bumpkin, when she was the true lady of the Schnabels? Had all those years together meant nothing? Hadn’t they formed any bonds of affection?

“Ulrich, please don’t send me away!”

Ulrich’s gaze at Yvonne was as frosty as if she were a complete stranger. “Don’t worry, Grandma adopted you, so you’ll still be taking care of her. But as for returning to the Schnabel family, forget it. Your options are to stay in the hospital or go to the Lamberts. Since you trust the Lamberts that much, and they treat you like royalty, maybe I should just arrange an adoption for you, and you can officially become a Lambert!”

Yvonne’s face went ghostly pale at the thought! Being sent to Noella’s old home was akin to a death sentence for her.

“No! Ulrich, don’t do this to me. I’ve been part of the Schnabel family for years. Don’t you have any affection for me at all? I’m part of this family too!”

Suddenly, Ulrich’s grip tightened around Yvonne’s throat. “Yvonne, this is your last warning. No matter what Noella does, she’s part of the Schnabel family. Her future children will be Schnabel heirs, regardless of who their father is. As for Mr. Pollack…”

Annie chimed in from behind, her smile courteous and bowing slightly. “Mr. Pollack treasures Ms. Noella like a gem. He says he’ll do anything to make her happy, and he’ll treat any child of hers as his own.”

Palmer had said this with such confidence, clearly certain that he’d be the father of Noella’s children. But Ulrich and Yvonne heard it as if Palmer was willingly fitting himself with a cuckold’s horns.

Ulrich suddenly found his subtle prejudice against Palmer melting away. He had misjudged Palmer in the past!

Yvonne’s expression soured further.

Why would Palmer go to such lengths for that bumpkin? And the Schnabels even wanted Noella’s future child to be their heir! If that happened, there indeed wouldn’t be anything left for her in the Schnabel family.

“Ulrich, please don’t send me away. I’ll never dare to cross you again!”

“Remember your words. You won’t have a hard life sticking by Grandma’s side, but if you try to harm Noella, there’s no
