The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 201

Malvina blinked, looking at Ulrich who stood before her.

“Was it Dr. Schnabel who saved me? Thanks. Let’s forget about the whole neck–grabbing and waist–touching incident from before. We’re square now, huh?”

Elara looked at Ulrich with a mix of disgust and disbelief.

“What kind of mess have you gotten yourself into, Ulrich? You’re acting like a street thug.”

Ulrich, faced with the expectant gazes of two sisters, felt his face flush with embarrassment.

“I needed Ms. Gruber’s help to locate the whereabouts of the Shadow Dragon Society. It was an emergency, and I’ve apologized for my actions!”

The Schnabels rarely mingled with the Grubers, and Ulrich only knew Malvina as the feisty and temperamental heiress.

His actions had been out of sheer desperation, so how could he have known what Malvina was really like?

Malvina offered a weak smile, “Forget it, I’m a forgiving soul. I didn’t let it slide last time, but this time you, are forgiven.”

Noella popped open the thermos she had brought and handed it to Malvina.

“My mom prepared this for you. Don’t turn your nose up at it.”

Sienna knew that Malvina and her baby daughter got along well, so she insisted that they bring something to eat when they went out, claiming that Malvina must have had a tough life growing up without a mother’s care.

Imagine that… neither of the Schnabel daughters had managed to make a proper friend

yet!

Sienna was as excited as if her own daughter had made her first friend.

The steamy soup shimmered with a golden hue, while another container held a fragrant almond dessert.

Noella set the dessert beside Malvina, “Have this. You inhaled a lot of smoke; this is good for the lungs.”

Malvina, holding the warm soup, teared up as she looked at Noella. “Did Sienna prepare this for me?” she asked.
