The Killer Queen ( Noella Briony ) novel Chapter 224

The room fell into a deafening silence. The person seated next to Rainer clearly didn't buy his explanation.

"A good kid? You know precisely the kind of hardcore training she's been through. On one hand, you call Garrick a madman, but you weren't exactly pulling your punches during training sessions, were you?"

"It was all Noella's choice."

Rainer's first lesson to Noella wasn't about the zither; it was about taking a life!

When Noella first pulled the trigger, ending the lives of those who had taken the Fuller family's money and left her stranded on the outskirts, she changed!

Master Rainer had never seen such resilience in a child!

Tears filled her eyes, yet she told Rainer with utter determination, "I'll give anything to become stronger!"

She was a miracle created by Polaris Star. Without any drugs to enhance her brain, Polaris Star had nurtured an exceptional prodigy!

The training methods were indeed harsh, and initially, the new members of Polaris Star didn't acknowledge this leader. But after witnessing the grueling training Noella endured, they joined in, only to realize they couldn't keep up!

Later, when Noella led them away from the original Polaris Star, those members became her loyal subordinates and partners.

The person next to Rainer scoffed again. "You had already decided to break away from your old ties and conveniently placed your bets on that girl, just to ensure the current members of Polaris Star rallied behind her. All this, for one girl's sake? You guys are so boring."

Master Rainer didn't find it boring in the slightest, his tone even carried a hint of pride. "What do you know? You have no idea how formidable Noella is!"

She was their brightest apprentice. If she desired the moon and the stars, they would move heaven and earth to obtain them. If they couldn’t, it wasn’t because her demands were too high; it was them who failed her.

The person sitting beside Rainer was evidently at a loss for words against his oblivious affection.

What kind of magic did Noella possess?

The room quieted down once more.

In an adjacent private booth, Palmer leisurely watched the numbers flicker on the electronic screen.

"I need this information. Fiancée, bid higher for me, whatever the cost."

"Alright."

Palmer was after information on recent activities in a renowned economic development zone.

It seemed like a regular business tip, with not many people showing interest. However, one private booth kept competing with Noella's bids.

The price stopped at six million five hundred thousand.

Noella didn't bid higher. "This information isn't worth that much. Are you sure you want to keep raising the stakes?"

"Your word is law."

Noella was left speechless.

It was he who wanted to outsmart the competitors from the Pollack family, yet now it seemed she was calling the shots?

Noella glanced at him, her gaze light. "Did you leak this information?"

"How smart! My fiancée is indeed in tune with my thoughts."

No one knew Palmer better than the Pollack family, but Palmer also knew the Pollack family better than anyone else!

He was aware of their interests and conveniently had the information they craved, so selling it was no big deal.

The land in the economic development zone was already in his possession anyway. He didn't mind shifting all the money from the Pollack family's pockets into his own.

Palmer was adept at such schemes and knew exactly how to drive them to bankruptcy. He didn’t relish their sudden demise, but rather enjoyed watching them helplessly lose their fortunes! They had hurt his mother for money; he wouldn't hesitate to take theirs!

When Palmer had his fill of play, it would be time to close the net.

Noella commented without mincing words. "You're quite ruthless."

"Thank you for the compliment, my fiancée."
