The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 279

Oriana escorted the Lambert family to the grand entrance of Serene Haven’s Phoenix Tower.

Phoenix Tower, the crown jewel of Serene Haven, stood majestically among the rest. Its presence was highlighted by a massive dragon and phoenix fountain at its forefront, dazzling in gold and splendor.

Surrounding it were sculptures of the zodiac animals, each crafted in pure gold!

Oriana noticed Vincent’s awe–struck expression and couldn’t help but label him a country bumpkin in her mind- utterly unworldly, She figured Noella must be the same.

“These sculptures were commissioned by the Schnabel family to distinguish them from historical artifacts. Made of gold, but really, they’re not worth much.”

Vincent’s understanding of the Schnabel family’s wealth was being constantly updated.

Just by looking, Vincent could tell how valuable the tree was. He once wanted to get a similar one for the

Oriana hung around after delivering her guests, curious to watch the unfolding scene.

A car pulled up at the entrance, and Vincent excitedly proclaimed, “That must be Noella returning!”

The car door opened, revealing a pair of slender legs stepping onto the ground, followed by a cascade of silky hair flowing down as the young girl leaned forward. Her face was a mix of cool detachment and an indescribable allure. Despite her youth, she possessed a captivating charm, yet her expression was icy, sending shivers down one’s spine.

Vincent had never seen Noella look so stunning! It seemed the Schnabel family must really cherish their

daughter.

“Noella, oh! Daddy missed you so much!”

Noella frowned slightly. “Vincent? What are you doing here?”
