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!

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.
