The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 126

To Noella, that seemed like a wishful thinking.

Ever since she was lured out of Glen Village by the Fuller family under the guise of affection, only to nearly lose her way back to Old Mrs. Lambert’s embrace, she had learned never to trust anyone’s proclamation of fondness.

Yet, despite herself, this very demand stirred something unfamiliar within her.

She remained silent, and Palmer just waited.

Winning over Noella’s heart and mind was a long road ahead, but when he saw Noella in her white lab coat, standing with the members of Polaris Star, it ignited a fierce sense of urgency

in him.

Her expression was indifferent, her eyes as icy as those of the colleagues she stood with, as if they were the ones she truly belonged to.

Suddenly, Palmer feared that if she couldn’t find a way to like him, she might one day return to Polaris Star. And if that happened, he might lose the chance to see her ever again.

Under that starry night sky of Glen Village back then, as Noella slept, Palmer leaned against the window, gazing at the moonlit mountains. The village was close to the border, near the fabled Polaris Star Lab. He had experienced many surprises with Noella but was acutely aware that no girl, no matter how troubled her past, would choose the life of an assassin without reason.

Having walked a similar path, he knew the torment it entailed, akin to walking through fire. He didn’t wish to delve into what Noella had endured, but he was desperate to know how he could

protect her better.

Palmer, who had dominated boardrooms for years, securing billion–dollar deals with strategic finesse, found himself at a loss when it came to the girl who had captured his heart.

Palmer drove to the largest shopping mall owned by the Pollack Group, pulled up in his sleek car, and took Noella’s hand as they stepped out.

“Can my fiancée tell me what role you played in Polaris Star?” he asked.

“If you’re asking, you probably have an idea,” she replied.

Verdant Garden’s proximity to the border meant Palmer would surely know about the Polaris Star lab and the Obelisk Organization base nearby.
