The Killer Queen ( Noella Briony ) novel Chapter 36

Chapter 36 

Bringing up a breakup at Ms. Schnabel’s birthday bash, isn’t that a bit inappropriate?” 

After all the Schnabel and Pollack families had been tight for decades, and the whole point of their kidsengagement was to take their friendship to the next level. Palmer dropping the breakup bomb at Ms. Schnabel’s party was like slapping the Schnabel family in the face

Palmer spoke up with an icy voice. I’m definitely calling off this engagement; I can’t wait any longer!” 

Without breaking it off, he wouldn’t be free to chase after Noella with all his heart

Even if Yvonne’s character wasn’t his cup of tea, they were still engaged. Calling it quits was the respectful thing to do for both her and Noella

It was the respect that the relationship deserved

Annie thought about all of Yvonne’s dramatic antics and couldn’t bring herself to like her either. Yvonne had already tried to fire Annie before even joining the family. Thus, Annie had zero warm fuzzy for her

Compared to her, Ms. Noella was a whole different storyleagues better

Got it!” 

At Tranquility City, the Lambert Mansion

The nanny handed Belinda a bowl of soup, whispering, Ma’am, Mr. Lambert seems to have gone to see Noella.” 

Old Mrs. Lambert didn’t have a single share to her name, and Belinda knew it more than 

anyone

The Lambert family’s missing funds? She had quietly siphoned them off, propping up her own folks

If Vincent found out, it would be another row. Just the thought of it gave her a headache

Ma’am, that Noella girl’s sharp as a tack. She’s never seen eye to eye with you. I bet she’s scheming to worm her way back into the Lambert family. Mr. Lambert’s a soft touch, and if Noella gets her way, what will happen to Ms. Briony?” 

You’ve got a point. Noella’s sticking around because she can’t let go of the Lambert family. Last time, she was flirting with Milford right in front of me. Get in touch with the papers. We need to publicly cut ties with her, snap her out of this daydream!” 

Alright, will do!”

At Imperial City, the Schnabel Manor 

As soon as Noella stepped into the house, she saw Sienna bustling around the kitchen in an 

apron

Mom, what are you up to? Let me help you.” 

No need, dear. I made you a cake, but I just can’t seem to get this little bunny right 

Sienna, coming from a family of scholars, with her father Merrick Horwich being a past winner 

of the International Literary Prize and her mother Freya recognized for her significant scientific contributions, had never really cooked in her life

Noella watched as her mom’s flawless hands picked up a knife and stabbed it into the chocolate, splitting the bunny clean in two

Oh dear, another flop! I’m just hopeless!” 

The trash can was already a graveyard of bunny failures

It’s okay, it lookscute as it is.” 

Really? If you like it, that’s all that matters!” 

Noella picked up the little cake and took a bite in front of Sienna. It’s delicious, thanks, Mom. You don’t have to do this for me.” 

How could I not? I’ve never done anything for you, and you’ve been through so much. Just thinking about my baby suffering makes me feel horrible!” 

I’m not suffering.” 

Sienna patted Noella’s hand. You eat up. I’ve got a present for you, too!” 

Okay.” 

Yvonne walked in, only to see Noella sitting at the table munching on a shapeless cake

How pathetic

As a daughter of the Schnabel family, she only ever indulged in desserts made by Chef Jakes. Only a backwoods bumpkin like Noella would think everything’s a treat

Sis, what’s that you’re eating? Oh my, what is this? I know you’re used to being broke, and all about saving, but not everything that’s trash is worth eating” 

Noella just gave her a look and kept silent

But then again, if even the family that raised you for eighteen years could abandon you, I guess you haven’t seen much of the finer things, right?” 

Yvonne’s face was a picture of smug satisfaction

What do you mean?” 

Oh, you don’t know? Poor thing. Your foster parents have made a public announcement cutting you off, telling you to stop bothering them!” 

Noella simply said, Oh.” 

It was actually a relief that the Lambert family did this; it saved her the hassle

Yvonne was flabbergasted. What did ohmean

Shouldn’t she be in tears over news like this

If even the family that raised her could ditch her, that just showed how lousy Noella’s character must be

If their parents knew about this, they would be so disappointed. They would see that she, Yvonne, was the real lady of the Schnabel family

Yvonne proudly waved the newspaper

Sienna, coming down the stairs, snatched the paper and read it carefully

What’s this?” 

Mom! Noella’s foster parents have publicly disowned her! Doesn’t this mean” 

Sienna was livid. How dare they treat my child like this! This is outrageous!” 

Yvonne was confused. Shouldn’t they be blaming Noella? Why were they getting mad at the Lambert family

Sienna hugged Noella tightly, her heart breaking

My sweet girl, don’t be sad. They’ll get what’s coming to them for treating you this way. Mommy will protect you!” 

Noella patted her mother’s trembling back, feeling the warmth in her heart

She couldn’t care less about the Lambert family. The only person she had cherished there was 

now just a handful of dust

Yeah, I’m not sad.” 

Sienna was so pissed off thinking about how Noella used to live like this; she felt like going fullon Hulk on the Lambert family

Noella, here’s a necklace I just bought you; just wear it for now. There’s another auction tomorrow, and I’ll snag some more goodies for you.” 

Yvonne, seeing the sparkling pink diamonds in Sienna’s hand, was so jealous it gave her a headache
