The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 240

The house was alive with a fierce argument

“These two brats am Larson’s charity cases, we’re not exactly short on kids. What’s the harm in keeping them around?”

The middle–aged woman wound up her fist and took a swing at Luther’s face, “Who knows if this is the fruit of your infidelity? How did you treat the Grubers before? Now you’re getting your comeuppance! That’s what you get for conspiring with Arthur Gruber to off the old boss!”

“Come on, that mess with Larson and the other guy had nothing to do with me!”

So the death of the Shadow Dragon Society’s old boss wasn’t an accident? Malvina held her breath in shock.

Luther wasn’t about to take it lying down. He slapped the woman back, grabbed her hair, and smashed her head against the wall, “Keep yapping, and neither of us will make it out alive. The Grubers might be gone, but the Schnabels are still very much in play!”

The two grappled and scuffled, filling the room with the woman’s piercing scams.

Ten minutes later, the commotion inside died down.

Luther kicked at Yvonne, whose mouth was now sealed with black duct tape, and took a drag on his cigarette, “How did this girl get in touch with you?”

The woman on the floor, whose hair was a tangled mess, gasped for air and rolled her eyes, “You mean this kid from Duncan Gruber and my sister Queenie? Queenie didn’t dare let her husband find out, so she was raised under the Schnabels‘ rool. Now that she’s locked up, the kid’s been dumped on me.”

Gagged, Yvonne couldn’t utter a word in response to this revelation.

What did they mean?

Her biological mother wasn’t Larson’s wife but Queenie, the woman who contacted her every day?!

But Queenie was just a high school dropout tumed housekeeper!

If it wasn’t for Ashlyn bringing her to the Schnabels to work, she’d probably still be jobless in some backwater town.
