The Killer Queen ( Noella Briony ) novel Chapter 252

Nolan's voice had a hint of urgency. "Boss, Yasbel's not the type to act recklessly, and sticking close to your brother Stirling should've kept him out of trouble. But you know how it is with Glen Village. If something really went wrong..."

Nolan and Yasbel were twins, sharing a bond that was rare and deep, like two stars orbiting each other in the sky.

Glen Village, nestled close to the border, was a place where the unexpected could lurk in the shadows.

"When did she last check in? I'm on my way."

"Forty-eight hours ago. There was some trouble at the site just before we lost contact. You'll see when you get here!"

Members of the Polaris Star were supposed to report their locations every twenty-four hours. With Yasbel missing for so long, especially with Stirling, the situation was indeed serious.

Noella glanced at her phone. With only a few classes scheduled these days, she decided she would skip class even if the paperwork wasn't completed yet!

After hanging up, Noella made a beeline for the campus gates.

Just as she reached the tree-lined path, someone blocked her way!

Before Noella could get a good look at the person, a car horn blared down the path, and a sedan came hurtling towards her, out of control!

The person blocking her path saw his chance to play the hero. Despite Noella remaining as cold and aloof as ever, he believed that increasing their entanglement would surely melt her icy gaze.

"Watch out!"

Lorne, barely managing to stand from his wheelchair, lunged forward only to catch a kick to the chest!

Noella's foot connected with the car's hood, and upon seeing Lorne's foolhardy charge, she frowned slightly.

What was this idiot thinking? Did he really believe that he, a man barely able to walk, could save her?

Considering he was Lucian's grandson and technically her patient, it wouldn't do for him to get hurt on her watch.

With a swift kick, Noella sent Lorne flying away from the car's path, tumbling across the ground and ending up unconscious, blood trickling from his mouth.

The out-of-control sedan crashed into a tree, its front crumpled and smoking. The driver's airbag deployed, and the driver lay unconscious, clearly injured.

Noella looked at the gathering crowd. "Could someone call the ambulance?"

"Yeah, sure! Don't you wanna go to the hospital with the ambulance to get checked out?"

The sudden chaos had left everyone stunned.

They had expected the beautiful girl to be hit, but instead, her agile leap to safety was nothing short of heroic.

This girl was seriously cool!

Noella shook her head. "I'm fine. Just make sure the injured get to the hospital."

Beckett, sweating bullets, rushed over and checked Noella from head to toe.

"Noella, are you alright?"

He had just entered the campus and met Darcy when he witnessed the terrifying scene. The thought of Noella getting hurt was unbearable to Beckett.
