The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 175

Chapter 175

Tristan snatched Elara’s phone, playing the message over and over.

“What the heck is this guy on about? Is he speaking gibberish? Am I missing something here?”

How come he could understand every word, but couldn’t make heads or tails of it?

Elara blinked, overwhelmed by the tidal wave of information coming from the recording. What did it mean that she was Jacob’s child?

Beckett sidled up to Elara. “Dad, I thought Mr. Jacob Pollack was a bachelor. How could he have kids?”

Could it be that Tandy got it wrong? With so many kids at the orphanage, a mix–up wouldn’t be that far–fetched.

Tristan shook his head. “Ancient history. Heard his fiancée passed away young, they never made it down the aisle. But that’s not the point!”

What mattered was how mind–blowing this whole situation was!

Sienna looked at Elara with concern. “Elara, what do you think?”

Meeting the hopeful yet cautious gaze of her family, Elara slowly shook her head. “I don’t know. Let’s get a DNA test with Mr. Pollack first.”

Tristan smacked his forehead. “Right, DNA first! Maybe Tandy’s just talking nonsense!”

Palmer’s audio file had also made its way to Jacob’s phone. He replayed it numerous times! He’d snooped around Heartfelt Orphanage and Tandy Hospital in private more times than he could count! Tandy’s words were all over the place, but Jacob was not ready to let go of the details just yet.

The Schnabel family marched into Jacob’s office in full force.

Knowing Jacob could potentially be his daughter’s biological father, Tristan’s gaze was filled with complex emotions. He decided to cut to the chase.
