The Killer Queen ( Noella Briony ) novel Chapter 406

Tristan was utterly flabbergasted!

The Gallagher mansion towered with five stories, and including the rooftop garden, it stood six stories tall. A fall from such a height was certain death!

Noella pulled out her phone and dialed Millie.

"Millie, go check out your rooftop."

The mention of someone threatening to jump had Millie losing her cool. She and Jasper dashed to the rooftop.

There, a teenage girl stood perilously close to the edge - Chloe Gallagher from the fourth branch of the family.

"Chloe, are you out of your mind?! If you jump, you’re not surviving this!"

Chloe shook her head, trembling as she turned on her phone’s live stream.

"I don’t want to live anymore. Why is it that everything good is never meant for me? You all just know how to bully me!"

"None of the Gallaghers are good people. Uncle Jeff came knocking on my door late at night. I don’t want to live anymore!"

Uncle Jeff, she mentioned, was Millie’s father!

Chloe was on the verge of breaking down, clutching her head on the rooftop, ready to leap at any moment.

"Millie, I can’t stand being in this family for another day! My life is ruined! If I jump, I’ll be free from it all!"

"Christina once said that if you jump, all your troubles go away..."

Millie clenched her fists.

Her voice trembling, she forced herself to calm down.

"It’s not your fault, come down. Whatever you mentioned... I know, because I’ve been through it too! Come down, no matter what happens, I’ll help you!"

Jasper’s eyes widened in disbelief and shock at Millie’s words.

Millie continued, "Come down, Chloe, listen to me. With your sister here, we can solve anything."

Chloe shook her head in agony.

"It’s no use, Millie. You’ve had it tough too. This place... it’s not a home. If I don’t jump, my parents will just trade me off to those old creeps as bargaining chips. I refuse."

The Gallagher children were forced to grow up too fast.

Suddenly, Jasper spoke up.

"You could leave the country, escape all this. Don’t you want to see those who hurt you brought to justice? My law firm can make it happen, fulfill your dreams!"

A flicker of hope sparked in Chloe’s eyes.

Jasper added, "If you don’t trust Millie, trust the Schnabels. You know, even your grandpa tries to suck up to us."

"It’s the wrongdoers who should be punished, not yourself!"

Chloe murmured, bewildered, "...Is that true? Would someone really help me?"

"Yes, look at Millie now; she’s made it. You can too."

Millie was seen as a thorn in the side by the Gallagher elders, jealous that she seemed to have taken what should’ve been their children's.

But to the younger Gallaghers, no one was more formidable than Millie.

Downstairs, Tristan set down his binoculars, worriedly saying, "Honey, maybe call the cops? That kid's so young, a fall would be disastrous!"

"The police are on their way."

Noella looked up to the rooftop figure, who seemed about the age of a high schooler, much like Millie when they first met.

The way the Gallaghers raised their kids left few with a sound state of mind.
