The Killer Queen ( Noella Briony ) novel Chapter 370

Mizar rose to his feet, drawing the room's attention.

"Everyone here knows me from Polaris Star Lab. I've been attending these meetings in place of our boss, Miss Noella Schnabel. Yes, she's the head of our lab!"

The room went silent, stunned.

Those who had been accusing Noella moments before now stared at her, wide-eyed.

They had just demanded an apology from Noella to Loadstar... and now they were learning that Noella was Loadstar?

"This... Don't get me wrong, Loadstar has always been my hero! I didn't mean anything by it. Miss Hero, could I maybe get your autograph later...?"

Mizar waved them off. "Our boss doesn't do autographs, but given today's special circumstances, catch me after the meeting!"

"Wow, yes, yes! Haha, this is going to be legendary!"

For those who idolized Loadstar, getting an autograph was more thrilling than winning an award for their research.

It was a moment that would be talked about for decades!

The jaws of the Schnabel family members practically hit the floor.

Beckett Schnabel was the first to regain his composure, though his eyes were wide with shock.

"Noella, you're saying... you're Polaris Star's Loadstar?"

Noella nodded. "Yes, Beckett."

Garrick was visibly shaken by Noella's admission.

"You're insane! Your success is all because of Polaris Star! Noella, you're biting the hand that feeds you!"

Garrick's outburst only served to confirm Noella's identity further.

The founding and current leaders of Polaris Star locked eyes, each refusing to back down.

Noella replied calmly, "You're wrong. Without Polaris Star, I would have been better off."

"If it weren't for the Polaris Star Project, my sister and I could have grown up in our own families, and my friends wouldn't have been left orphaned!"

Garrick was livid, his face turning a shade of red.

"If it weren't for me, none of them would have their 'today'!"

Mizar scoffed, "Thanks to you, my entire family was wiped out, leaving me the sole survivor. What good is being a genius then?"

The other members of Polaris Star looked at Garrick with cold indifference.

"What's the use of having a family? That's the most useless burden! Only by severing all ties can one fully utilize their brain and stand at the pinnacle of humanity! Why would anyone choose to be ordinary when they could contribute so much more to society and the nation?"

Garrick was lost in his delusion.

When Noella's gaze met with her family's, she saw their worry and compassion.

The Schnabel brothers had guessed what atrocities the children involved in the Polaris Star experiment had faced, and what their sister had endured.

Revealing this was like pouring salt on Noella's wounds.

They had originally thought that Noella's worst days were behind her, suffering at the hands of Vincent Lambert and his shameless wife. But her actual suffering was beyond their worst imaginations.

Noella offered a reassuring smile to her family.

Turning to the audience, her voice was firm and clear.

"Isn't everyone here just an ordinary person?"

"I used to think that emotions were unnecessary, that they only slowed down my reaction time. But Garrick, without those emotions, who would ever choose to fight?"

At least Noella's battles were fought to protect her loved ones.

"Garrick, your project might have found many geniuses, but what you've lost is humanity. Or perhaps, it's your insatiable greed that led to this experiment!"
