The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 144

Erek could hardly contain his excitement as he watched the video.

“Boss, the looks on the Gruber family’s faces when they see this will be priceless! I’m actually looking forward to it!”

The video was considerate enough to capture every worker’s face, and every word they said was recorded without fail.

If the Gruber family didn’t want to burn bridges with the Schnabel family too soon, they’d most likely opt to pay up.

“Boss, when it comes to swindling cash, you sure don’t beat around the bush. Three hundred million is gonna make the Grubers gasp for air. I bet they won’t cough it up easily.”

The Gruber family’s business empire had been facing a string of issues lately, and their liquid assets weren’t as flush as they used to be.

Erek couldn’t help but think that their boss was…ruthless! But, hey, the boss didn’t even spare his own fiancé, considering the gear at Lunar Lab was courtesy of Mr. Pollack. Erek suddenly felt a surge of respect for the boss!

Their boss had been working her tail off for the future of the organization!

Noella said indifferently, “They’ll pay. Three hundred million is a small price for not getting on the bad side of the Obelisk Organization and the Schnabel family.”

Hearing this, Erek was touched. Such a fair and square deal, the Gruber family would be fools to pass up such a sweet offer!

Erek promised to send the video to the Gruber family that very night.

The next morning, Noella got ready and descended the stairs, only to see the living room brimming with gifts. Boxes of all sizes filled the space, leaving barely any room to step.

Exotic herbs and luxury supplements were neatly boxed up; there were even dozens of bird’s nest packages, and at the forefront was a fist–sized pearl, which seemed like the one auctioned last year at the East Sea Pearl Market.

Sienna’s face lit up with joy as she saw her darling daughter come downstairs.

“Sweetheart, take a look and pick whatever you like. I’ll have it sent to your room.”

“Why all this stuff?”

“They’re from the Gruber family, sent as an apology, probably because of Walden’s little tantrum at the gallery yesterday?”
