The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 266

[Boss, since when did you start caring about these conferences?)

Polaris Star gets bombarded with invites every year Noella always thought of them as nothing more than gatherings of so–called Industry Insiders putting on airs. Pelaris Star had its own well–oiled machine internally. There wasn’t any need to network or expand resources at these conferences. It was the organizers who were desperate to connect with Polaris Star by any means necessary.

[Ive changed my mind. How’s the investigation going?

[Pheeda managed to snag a medical report on Lavinia Richardson, and it looks fishy. You better take a look yourself.]

Reviewing the medical report on her phone, Noella’s brow furrowed slightly.

She’d had her suspicions about Lavinia’s condition and had Polaris Star’s people look into it. The data in the report only confirmed her hunch!

Seeing Noella engrossed in her phone, Palmer placed some peeled shrimp on her plate. “Is everything alright?”

Polaris Star’s intemal communications were in code, indecipherable to those not trained to understand it,

Noella quickly sent a message to Professor Calvin and put away her phone.

“Nothing. Just discussing Grandpa’s medication with Professor Calvin. And Grandpa Sexton’s prescriptions seemed off. This moming. I spotted a few discrepancies.”

Now responsible for Sexton and Marcel’s health, Noella occasionally gave the old gentlemen massages. However, Marcel, not wanting to burden his granddaughter, often had Uinch, his strong and knowledgeable grandson, do it instead.

Spotting issues with Sexton’s medication that morning had raised Noella’s concern.

“Grandpa’s medication was off?”

“It seems Grandpa Sexton caught a cold and chose his own medication.”

There were a few more medications Noella needed to discuss with Calvin.

Calvin’s reply came quickly
