The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 243

Chapter 243

Master Rainer knew exactly what was on his mind. If Garrick ever stepped out of line, well, then it was no big deal to send him packing a bit earlier than planned

A color of fierce appeared in his eyes, “Noella, remember this–Il Garrick dares to lay a finger on you, you use those tricks our old geezers taught you, and send him packing. Blow him to smithereens and no coffin needed! That old coot really thinks he still calls the shots around Polaris Star? If it weren’t for him, you wouldn’t even be-”

Realizing he was saying too much, Master Rainer chose to mute himself, closing his eyes to rest.

Noella, seeing the hesitation in Master Rainer’s expression, didn’t press further It seemed that neither her mentor nor her grandmother was telling her everything!

Upon entering the Schnabel Manor in Phoenix Tower at the Serene Haven, Beckett and Noella were sneakily pulled aside by Sienna into the quaint garden.

With a secretive air, Sienna produced a thick stack of brochures that showcased various banquet options and wedding planner portfolios.

“Noella, where do you think would be the perfect spot for your brother Ulrich’s engagement party?”

“Huh?! Since when is Ulrich engaged? He doesn’t even have a girlfriend, does he?”

Beckett looked just as shocked, “Since when does he have a girlfriend?”

Ulrich had been a lifetime bachelor, his most intimate contact with the opposite sex being in the operating room.

Where on earth did he find someone? And they’ve progressed to an engagement?

Sienna gestured upstairs, lowering her voice to spill the events of the day

Noella and Beckett fell silent

After a moment, Beckett picked out the bits he could share and revealed the truth to Sienna.

“What? So you’re saying Ulrich dressed up like that because of a blast? Not because he was up to no good?”

Noella nodded firmly. “Mom, you’ve got it wrong.”

Sienna put down her materials, a mix of deep disappointment and relief in her voice.

“Well, that’s a relief. I mean, it would have been so unbecoming of him. I’m afraid it scared away poor Malvina. Oh dear, there goes my daughter–in–law!”
