The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 250

“Speaking ill of others without knowing the truth, this classmate’s intellect and character leave much to be

desired‘

Noella’s voice, sweet and melodious, echoed through the classroom

Noella could spot a wolf in sheep’s clothing from a mile away, and someone like Oriana wasn’t worth a second thought to her.

Noella was only here to fulfil her grandmother’s wish for her to get a proper college education, but she had her own plans too.

Oriana came from an academic family, each member more bookish than the last. Her face flushed with a mix of anger and embarrassment when Noella’s words hit their mark.

“But the person online said she was your sister. It can’t all be made up, can it?”

Noella glanced at Oriana with a look of sheer disdain.

To clarify such a thing would be an exercise in futility.

The room erupted in laughter again.

“Noella should join the debate team. With her, our college would take home the gold this year!”

Oriana’s face turned a spectrum of reds and purples, and with the teacher’s entrance, she had no choice but to simmer down and take her seat.
