The Killer Queen by Noella Briony
Chapter 178
Chapter 178
Hanging upside down from a beam in the black tower of Lockhart Prison, Thorpe was a sorry sight to behold. His once intimidating frame was now a patchwork of bruises and wounds.
Noella peered at the battered figure, her brows knitting together in confusion. “And who might you be?”
Thorpe’s fury broke through his battered facade. “Wise Fool, do you have to do this to me? I didn’t know you are Ms. Schnabel, and it was Xavier who had a bone to pick with your grandpa, not me! You’ve killed more of my guys over that blasted deal than I can count, and I haven’t even come knocking for payback!”
With a casual shrug, Noella replied, “You’re Thorpe? Didn’t recognize you there. Anyway, if your boys were stronger, maybe they wouldn’t have fallen so easily. Blaming me seems a bit shameless, don’t you think?”
Xavier chimed in with a snicker. “Shameless? He’s way past that. I knocked the looks right off his face!”
Thorpe’s swollen appearance did little to help his recognition; in fact, he looked more like a bloated caricature of himself.
It was only because Thorpe had watched a livestream of Noella’s birthday bash, organized by the Schnabel family while he was helping Hollis recover, that he recognized her. The face of Palmer, a familiar enemy. had appeared amid the birthday bash and it nearly drove Thorpe over the edge.
The CEO of the Pollack Group was one of his archenemies?
The moment he saw Noella standing close to Palmer, he knew–she was that Ms. Noella from the Schnabel family. Her confident stance as she fired her gun and her tussle with Lyra, it all clicked for Thorpe, who had faced her numerous times on the international warzones.
Ms. Noella from the Schnabel family, another nemesis?
Suddenly, Thorpe felt as if all his efforts over the years had been for naught.
What kind of heiress moonlights as a hitwoman?
