The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 141

On the stage, the young girl was all smiles. Clad in a pale aquamarine chiffon dress, she seemed to merge with the oil painting behind her, a beauty so ethereal it was as if a sprite had stepped right out of an enchanted grove.

Her voice, a melodious tinkling, resonated with confidence, yet it sent shivers down the spine of many in the audience!

How could they dare to express dissatisfaction? Setting aside the repercussions of having offended Master Killian, even the Schnabels themselves wouldn’t let them off the hook!

Standing beside Noella, Master Killian spoke with gravity, “Noella is my one and only apprentice in this lifetime. Her artistic talent surpasses even my own. If any of you wish to critique my apprentice, you’ll have to go through me first!”

His implication couldn’t be clearer.

Did they really think they could measure up to his apprentice?

Travis stepped forward, pride written all over his face. “Ladies and gentlemen, the exhibition begins now. Please, enjoy at your leisure.”

He was beside himself with excitement! This was Master Killian in the flesh! For those in the art

world, it was like their ancestors had blessed them with fortune!

Who could have imagined that Ms. Noella was the direct disciple of Master Killian!

Years ago, Master Killian had declared he would take only one student under his wing to inherit all he knew. With this, their gallery’s status in Imperial City was set to be unmatched!

Noella escorted Master Killian over to the Schnabels. “These are my family.”

Master Killian gave Marcel a nod, a gesture that conveyed ample respect to the Schnabels.

“Have they been good to you?” he inquired with genuine concern.

“Very,” Noella replied.

Master Killian cared deeply about how the Schnabels treated Noella.

Coming from the Polaris Star, he knew all too well the challenge of accepting new family members, akin to throwing a ray of hope into an already sealed and darkened heart.

If they hadn’t treated Noella right, he’d whisk her away without a second thought and join forces with the old timers to bring the Schnabels to their knees!
