The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 137

Vincent had it all figured out in his head. He was even strategizing about what to say when he saw Noella. He had to find out the true identity of Noella’s biological parents. If they were

indeed loaded, he’d make sure to milk some benefits from them. And that ten–billion contract, If it existed, it was meant for them, wasn’t it? Taking it would only be fair.

With that money, their financial troubles would vanish, and it wouldn’t have been for nothing that they’d raised Noella all these years!

Alioth could barely contain his disgust at the sight of Vincent’s smug grin. He kept telling himself to hold back as there were too many cameras around; it wouldn’t be a good place to start a fight here.

Taking several deep breaths, Alioth steered Vincent toward the small grove outside the hospital.

Since the last time someone dragged Vincent into the grove and gave him a hiding, he’d developed a phobia of such places.

“Dude, where are you taking me? If Noella’s around, can you ask her to come see me? Look at me, I’m not in the best shape. Maybe we shouldn’t go inside?”

“Let’s just go in. The boss is waiting for us inside.”

Vincent was confused.

What did he mean by “boss“? Was Noella waiting for him with a purpose?

Alioth stopped in the grove and looked up. “Boss, he’s here.”

Vincent glanced up, clueless. His eyes widened at the sight of Noella standing on a tree branch. She was cloaked in a black trench coat, like a specter of the night!

Her figure was slender, her hair misty as twilight, pinned up with a hairpin gifted by Ulrich, exposing her long, pale neck. In the dim light, her eyes were cold and detached, like a queen of the dark!

Vincent swallowed hard without realizing it.

“Noella? What’s with the spook show? What are you doing out here?”

Belinda was equally startled by Noella’s appearance. Somehow, just looking at Noella made her feel like her breath had been taken away.

Mysterious and dangerously alluring, she was a sight that felt almost sacrilegious to behold. Was this really the same girl she had never taken seriously?

Feeling a little intimidated and with her voice trembling, Belinda said, “Noella, have you been waiting here for us? We really missed you. Let’s go home together, shall we?”

Vincent chimed in, “Yeah, come home with us. It’s too hard for a girl like you to work out here
