The Killer Queen ( Noella Briony ) novel Chapter 402

Hearing that the visitor was none other than Tristan, the entire Gallagher clan was on edge!

Millie's mother was so anxious she nearly shredded her handkerchief!

"What's gotten into Millie? I've got a spa day planned tomorrow with Mrs. Schnabel!"

How was she supposed to face Sienna now?!

Randy, sitting in his wheelchair, forced himself to calm down.

"Tristan's a bit on the older side, sure, but if Millie can snag him, he's certainly a catch compared to those Schnabel boys who still have some growing up to do."

The butler chimed in: "That's not all, Mr. Schnabel and his wife, along with Miss Schnabel and young Jasper, are all here too!"

It wasn't just Millie bringing Tristan; the entire Schnabel family had come along!

Randy was surprised: "This isn't any special occasion. They're here for dinner?"

Millie's mother quickly patted her chest, sighing with relief.

"I was worried sick Millie was getting into trouble…"

Christina Gallagher, the younger sister from the second branch of the family, couldn't hide her jealousy. "As if Millie could even dream of straying off the path with Mr. Schnabel and his wife showing up. Who knows what kind of skeletons Millie's got in her closet with the Schnabels."

Patrick Gallagher shot her a look.

"That's not for you to judge! If you're so capable, why don't you go and stay with the Schnabels?"

Just jealous because she's not capable herself!

Randy glanced at Millie's parents. "We should go greet them together. Mr. Schnabel and his wife have taken the trouble to visit us personally; we must show them proper hospitality."

"Of course."

Christina felt even more bitter. Randy personally welcoming them was like adding glory to Millie's reputation!

"Grandpa, you don't need to go personally by our family's standards…"

"You know nothing. Do we even stand on the same ground as the Schnabel family? Not just Tristan, if the Schnabel family patriarch were to visit, our whole family should be waiting to welcome them miles away!"

The Gallagher family couldn't compare to the Schnabels on any level!

Christina was sour to the core!

How did Millie get so lucky as to be involved with the Schnabels?!

Carolyn was unconvinced.

"Bringing someone home for dinner is no big feat. The real skill is in winning their hearts for good. Let's see if Millie can actually marry into the family. Just focus on yourself; we'll see who gets the last laugh."

She glanced at the second family's son standing next to Christina and advised, "And you, try to get noticed by Miss Schnabel. It won't hurt."

"Mom, isn't Miss Schnabel almost engaged?"

"That hasn't happened yet. And even if it does, marriages can end. Why worry? Miss Schnabel is both intelligent and beautiful; are you saying you're not good enough for her?"

The second family's son stayed silent for a moment.

"Honestly, I'm more afraid of Mr. Pollack killing me."

Chasing after someone engaged to another, especially someone like Palmer, was a risk he wasn't willing to take.

Carolyn sighed, "...Then forget it. But I've heard the Schnabels have another daughter. Try to mingle more when you can."

"Mom," Morgan Gallagher asked earnestly, "do you really think I stand a chance with Miss Schnabel? She's already a fellow at the Harmonia Country Science Research Institute. I can't even understand her papers!"

Morgan had tried, but to no avail.

The Schnabel family had only two daughters.
