The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 159

Sienna and Tristan were gobsmacked!

Who would have thought that the woman raising their precious daughter was Marcel’s first

love!

Jasper pondered for a moment. “Noella, Grandma Harriet’s final resting place is at the Lambert ancestral home, right? Should we relocate her to our family’s burial ground?”

The way Marcel was acting, it was clear Grandma Harriet meant the world to him.

Noella shook her head. “No need. Grandma loved it there. I don’t want to disturb her peace.”

Marcel nodded in agreement. “That’s right. She always adored the rolling hills and the greenery. and having that old osmanthus tree by her side made her happy.”

Their first encounter under a massive osmanthus tree, with its blossoming flowers showering down, had stayed with him all these years, never fading from his heart!

Marcel’s eyes brimmed with memories. He removed his glasses and wiped a tear from the corner of his eye, looking hopefully at Noella.

“Darling, could you share those pictures with me?”

Noella nodded. “Grandma had made a video recording before she passed. It should be with the Lambert family. I’ll find time to get it back.”

They had discovered the existence of the video when they opened the safe. In the letter Old Mrs. Lambert had left for Noella, there was a note telling her about a video she had recorded,

which was kept with the Lambert family.

After some thought, Marcel brought up the trending online topics to Noella.

“Looking at it this way, it seems like the Lambert family is behind this. Noella, can you… tell me who your grandma’s significant other was?”

It was embarrassing for someone his age to ask such a thing, but thankfully, no one in the family seemed to mock him!

Noella shook her head. “There wasn’t anyone. Grandma always took care of me by herself. Grandpa, Vincent isn’t her biological son either; she adopted him.”

Upon hearing this, Marcel unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, then muttered under his breath. “Good, good. If that fool really was her own, and she found out I had someone beat up her son, she’d never forgive me.”
