The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 278

Vincent was stuck in the hospital, paralyzed from the waist down. When he got the call from Briony, he was ready to give her an earful! That ungrateful girl, she had the audacity to hit him with her car, leaving him bedridden and paralyzed, unable to do a thing.

“Why aren’t you in jail? You almost killed me with that car. How did you get out?”

“Dad, it wasn’t me who hit you. It was all a setup by the Schnabel family! Just look it up online, and you’ll see that Noella is actually the Schnabel’s daughter! She must be out for revenge. Our family’s downfall – it’s all because Noella used the Schnabel family’s resources to target us!”

Vincent suddenly felt a surge of energy.

“I’ll look into what you’ve said.”

He hung up and immediately started looking up information on the Schnabel family.

The first thing that popped up was Noella’s globally streamed birthday bash! It was such a grand affair, and Vincent had even attended, trying to give Ms. Schnabel a gift, only to be turned away by the Schnabel family’s folks!

It was quite the embarrassment for the Lambert family! He hadn’t kept up with the news online since then.

Realizing that Noella was indeed Ms. Schnabel of the Schnabel family, Vincent’s vision blurred.

He had insulted Noella in front of the Schnabel family’s young masters, calling her an ingrate. And he even said in front of Marcel that Noella was just a caregiver!

The Lambert family’s bankruptcy must have been Noella’s doing!

Vincent dialed Belinda’s number.

“Come get me discharged! We need to reach out to Noella and the Schnabel family. As long as Noella is willing to forgive us, with the Schnabel family behind us, our family can surely rise again!”

Belinda, initially impatient, jumped at the news!

“Are you serious, honey?”

“Absolutely. Just check the news online! Before, Briony told us that it was all fake, but turns out Noella was the real Ms. Schnabel.”

Belinda’s eyes sparkled, suddenly regretting everything!
