The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 235

Sienna wiped away her tears and nodded in agreement. “If you ever feel overwhelmed, Noella, just tell me I’ll make sure your brothers lend a hand!”

Her words camed a hint of quilt

But the Schnabel family’s affairs were too much for Sienna to handle. After all, the children had grown up, each proving to be smart and capable. It was time for them to take over the reins

She had longed to retime with Tristan and travel the world! If it weren’t for their desire to see Noella off to college first, Sienna and Tristan would probably already be globetrotting. She had meticulously planned their travel itinery!

Noella, seeing the excitement mixed with a touch of sheepishness on Sienna’s face, couldn’t help but smile.

Her mother was quite adorable

“Don’t worry, Mom, I ask Beckett if I’m not sure about something.”

The issues at Serene Haven weren’t too numerous. Many of the problems with the Schnabel family’s staff stemmed from the remnants left by Ashlyn, who wasn’t exactly squeaky clean.

When Ashlyn first mamed Marcel, she nearly brought her dog from her village to the Schnabel household to establish some kind of pecking order.

Sienna, upon taking over the household, had chosen not to replace the old staff, instead managing with them for years. However, this compromise had led to significant problems

Beckett rose to serve Sienna some soup, his tone soothing. “I’ve had someone Investigate the social media accounts of all the Schnabel family’s servants. Queenie was an exception; though others might not be clean, they’re not as egregious. However, we’ve found substantial sums of money flowing into Queenie’s account, and we’re tracking the source.”

Noella looked up, her voice calm. “It’s probably from people interested in the Schnabel family”

Though Queenje was bold, making contacts with many wanting to pry into the Schnabel family’s affairs, she didn’t have access to any real secrets

The Schnabel family’s studies were off–limits to the nannies. The children of the Schnabel family cleaned their studies themselves, and with plenty of surveillance installed, Queenie couldn’t find an opportunity to sneak in even if she wanted to.

The information she sold was mostly fabricated by her.
