The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 276

Chapter 276

Elara’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Was Jacob seriously pulling a fast one right in front of everyone?

It was clear as day that Helen had made a beeline for Garrick! And he called that poor eyesight?

Elara had never encountered a supposedly visually impaired elderly person who could point out a loose thread on her embroidered blouse first thing in the morning. She even noticed a piece of fried chicken that had been double–dipped in sauce, and then went on a tirade, dragging the entire Pollack family through the mud.

Jacob, with all sincerity, said, “Garrick, this is like a storm in a teacup. Let me cover all your expenses at our resort as an apology.”

Garrick, looking slightly recovered, barely opening his eyes to look at Jacob.

“So, you’re saying your mom’s got bad eyesight?”

“It’s not just bad eyesight; my mom… she’s blind!” Jacob pinched himself hard, managing to squeeze out a few tears.

Garrick was taken aback. They were all from the same social circle – how had he never heard anything about Helen going blind?

Garrick frowned, straightening up. “When did this happen?”

“My mom’s been in a nursing home for the past few years because of her declining eyesight. She didn’t want to come back and make us sad…”

Elara lowered her head, covering her mouth to stifle a laugh and biting her tongue in the process.

From Garrick’s perspective, it looked like she was sobbing, her shoulders shaking.

He was somewhat convinced but still dubious. After all, someone had kicked him squarely in the back, and that aim didn’t seem like it came from poor eyesight.

“Fine, if her eyesight is poor, she probably shouldn’t be fishing. Let’s consider the matter closed.”
