The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 254

In the surveillance room, the screen clearly showed a car losing control, bursting out of the parking lot, slamming into the guardrails on either side of the road before careening down the tree–lined avenuet

The logistics personnel retrieving the footage were visibly nervous,

On one hand, an incident like this happening within the college’s premises was unthinkable. If it blew up, the consequences would be dire. On the other hand, Beckett’s presence behind them was overwhelmingly intimidating!

Despite Beckett’s politeness and somewhat courteous demeanor, the aura he exuded sent shivers down their spines.

Beckett pointed at the screen. “Rewind it, to the frame at four minutes and fifteen seconds, please.”

In the rewound footage, a figure suddenly appeared in the tree–lined avenue, seated in a wheelchair. This sudden appearance was due to Lorne initially being in the car but then deciding to disembark and proceed in the wheelchair.

Beckett frowned. “Ms. Darcy, I don’t recall the graduate school being on this route.”

Noella was coming to Imperial University, and the Schnabel family had scrutinized every possible route through the college the night before.

Beckett always liked to have everything under his control.

Darcy nodded. “Maybe, Lorne wanted to enjoy the view?”

Indeed, Imperial University, being an established institution, boasted beautiful scenery. But how could someone fresh off the surgery table enjoying the scenery?

“He should be in intensive care at this time, not out sightseeing. It would be more fitting for him to visit the River Styx at this rate. Please copy this video for me; I will pursue legal action against the driver and the college.”

Sweat beaded on the logistics personnel’s forehead. At this moment, they couldn’t muster the courage to suggest that Beckett should let the college off the hook, given it was indeed a lapse in the college’s oversight!

Darcy looked at Beckett with a gentle tone. “Mr. Schnabel, it’s right to hold the college accountable, but wouldn’t this affect Noella, given she’s still studying here?”

“There are colleges all over the world; Noella can choose any. She doesn’t need to stay at one that nearly had her in an accident!”

Beckett’s tone was sharp, veins throbbing on his hand. His temper, which had been soothed by Noella, flared up again upon seeing the footage.

Had Noella not reacted swiftly, would she be the one lying in the hospital now?

“Mr. Schnabel, perhaps we could calm down a bit. Accidents can happen due to human error at any college, right?”
