The Killer Queen ( Noella Briony ) novel Chapter 421

"It's you!"

Why the hell is this old man back?!

Back in the day, he was always giving her a hard time!

Marcel Schnabel had just tied the knot with Ashlyn, and Xavier had been stirring up trouble non-stop. Xavier didn't care whose fault it was. Anyone who crossed Harriet in his eyes was in for a beating! Sure, Marcel had messed up, but Ashlyn was no angel either. He treated them both the same.

Seeing Xavier brought all those old memories flooding back to Ashlyn! And Marcel? He couldn't care less. Xavier causes trouble, and his advice is just to suck it up!

The helicopter was still a few meters off the ground when Xavier slid down the rope, swaggering over with a smug grin, holding out a box.

"My dear granddaughter, this is a little something from your Uncle Xavier. An engagement is a big deal, and when you get married, I'll get you something even nicer!"

Noella took the elegant box from him.

"I thought you were stuck in prison?"

"Hey! Who the hell cares about that? If anyone's got the guts to deal with me, they might as well try to finish me off! They don't dare, so I'm back!"

Xavier's robust appearance drew sneers from the other old-timers present!

Oh, so you're the lively one, huh?

We're all the same age, and while they're stuck in wheelchairs, he's jumping out of helicopters! Show-off!

The old guys scoffed at his antics.

"Hey, Marcel, you're not looking too hot yourself. Maybe it's time to check out!"

"The guy by the door, you deal with it."

"It's none of my damn business! You stirred up this mess yourself! Don't go blaming Garrick, you idiot. You believed every stupid thing. Whose fault is that?"

Marcel closed his eyes for a moment.

"Xavier! It's a day of celebration. Don't make me have you arrested!"

Xavier wasn't actually looking to start a fight. He just couldn't resist poking at Marcel to soothe his own ego.

Approaching Ashlyn, Xavier chuckled, "We go way back, don't we? So, should I send you to the pearly gates or down below? Your pick."

Ashlyn's face went pale. What's the difference between those options?

"Murder is illegal! You can't touch me!"

"Sorry, but I have a thing for breaking the law. If it's not illegal, I'm probably not interested!"

His mere presence was already breaking the law. But Xavier didn't want to miss Noella's engagement!

He pulled out his phone and showed Ashlyn a chilling video. The video showed people strung up at the top of a tower, battered by the wind, a sight that sent shivers down the spine!

"Look here, this one's your son, and this one, your granddaughter, and here's your daughter-in-law. What do you think? Missing anything? Maybe we should send you up there too, keep the family together!"

On the screen were Duncan Gruber and Yvonne Gruber, among others! Ashlyn, despite her faults, only had that one son! She had hoped he would take care of her in her old age!

Seeing this, Ashlyn fainted on the spot.

Xavier, a blade of grass between his teeth, muttered, "This old hag, might as well take her too, let the family reunite for a bit!"
