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!”

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.
