The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 246

Yvonne felt her world spinning out of control. She had once been a cherished member of the Schnabel family, but ever since that country bumpkin showed up, Tristan had kicked her to the curb without a second thought! How could this be happening to her? Queenie’s social media account had vanished, surely stirring the pot among her many followers

Yvonne wasted no time in setting up a new, inconspicuous profile.

Briony, seated on the floor, clicked on a video and muttered, “A celestial beauty descends to Imperial University, and among the freshmen is an apprentice of the zither maestro, Master Rainer?”

The person playing in the video looked all too familiar–it was Noellel

Why on earth was she at Imperial University?

She was nothing but a farmer’s daughter, a cuckoo in the nest for years, stealing the life she should have had. And now she had the gall to attend Imperial University?

Brony seethed with jealousy, wishing she could slither away into the shadows.

On impulse, she left a comment on the video: [This is all a lie. She has a messy private life. I grew up with her. She can’t play any instrument]

After posting. Briony’s heart raced with quilt. She quickly opened her chat with Belinda, only to find that Belinda had blocked her!

Yvonne was frantically manipulating her new account, claiming to be Queenie’s distant relative and alleging that Queenie’s account had been frozen by the Schnabel family. She threw in a fair share of veiled insults at the Schnabels, not daring to be too direct.

Once the messages were sent, Yvonne tossed her phone aside. She refused to sit back and accept defeat! Queenie claimed to be her mother, but she didn’t buy it for a second!

Clutching the curtains so tightly the fabric warped in her grip, Yvonne’s face contorted with anger, making Briony too scared to even look at her.

“I won’t be slaughtered like a lamb. I’ll confront the old hag and get some answers!” She barked at Briony, still on the floor. “Get me some water, and stop staring or Ill gouge out your eyes!”

After gulping down the water Briony poured, Yvonne commanded, “Spill everything about Noella’s time with the Lambert family!”

If she could just dig up some dirt on Noella, a few well–placed comments from Queenie’s account, and sooner or later the Schnabels would see that country bumpkin for who she really was
