The Killer Queen ( Noella Briony ) novel Chapter 334

Ashlyn refused to back down, even from her wheelchair. The bodyguards at the door had orders to stop her, but she came prepared with a boombox, blasting a recording of accusations of Marcel’s wrongdoings right at the Schnabel family’s doorstep.

The guards tried to remove her, but Marcel told them to let her in. He had a bone to pick with this stubborn old lady, wanting to confront her about past grievances.

Marcel knew Ashlyn had been in the hospital, not in a coma as some thought, but actively avoiding the Schnabel family. Seeing her now only confirmed Marcel’s belief that marrying her had been a mistake - a mistake that their children were now paying for.

Behind Ashlyn stood a man in a long coat, holding a duster, his eyes closed as if in deep contemplation. “Marcel Schnabel, I’m here on behalf of someone else. Elara’s presence is bringing chaos to the Schnabel family. As long as she remains, there will be no peace,” he pronounced.

“This is Cassius, from the Eternal Monastery. He read Elara’s fortune at birth, claiming she’s a harbinger of doom. If she doesn’t leave the Schnabel family before turning twenty, catastrophe will befall you all.” Ashlyn was adamant, “My divorce from Marcel is because of her!”

Marcel retorted, “Cut the crap! That’s a bunch of baloney!”

Ashlyn just smirked. “If you didn’t believe me, why let me in?”

She was certain Marcel must have known she was right, or else he wouldn’t have let her in.

“I’m the one who truly loves you, Marcel. I’m Tristan’s real mother. How could I possibly harm you?”

Marcel, gripping his cane, stood imposingly. “I let you in because I want to know how Tristan ended up being your child. Don’t lie to me; I’ve had a paternity test done.”

Ashlyn was caught off guard, trying to maintain her composure despite the shock.

“Tristan is my child, born after ten long months. Cassius said it; Elara is a curse. Now that you’ve found her real family, send her away! Marcel, while lying in the hospital, all I could think about was you and our child. I was misled by Yvonne in the past, but you must understand, I am your true wife!”

Noella, holding Elara’s hand, frowned. “You were supposed to be bedridden. How did you know about Elara finding her family?”

The knowledge was supposed to be a secret, kept low-key among a few families.

Ashlyn rolled her eyes. “Cassius predicted it. His skills are unmatched, and his words are truth.”

Noella raised an eyebrow. “And when he said Yvonne was an angel in disguise, that ‘angel’ didn’t bring you any blessings, did she?”

Instead of blessings, Yvonne exploited Ashlyn, taking all her money and even her cherished jade pendant. Thinking of the betrayal, Ashlyn trembled with anger.

“Yvonne will realize who truly cared for her after she overcomes her trials. Marcel, send Elara and Noella away. Take me back, and together, we can achieve enlightenment.”

A heavy silence fell over the Schnabel family.

Noella remarked, “It seems her illness has worsened.”
