The Killer Queen ( Noella Briony ) novel Chapter 429

The room fell into an eerie silence, so thick you could cut it with a knife.

They all knew Tavian held a position of influence, but the amiable man they knew being involved was beyond their wildest dreams! At Noella's birthday bash, Tavian had gifted her an extravagantly expensive present. When Marcel was admitted to the Imperial West Hospital, Noella would often play chess with the always-smiling elderly man!

The family was utterly shocked!

Tristan, mouth agape, managed to stammer, "Ah... Tav, you're way up there above Dad, how are we supposed to deal with this!"

"Obviously! I was leading the troops guarding Polaris Star! Do you think anyone less capable would dare take on such responsibility?"

If it were anyone else, Marcel wouldn't have been this worried! Marcel glanced at Noella, who appeared calm, and softened his gaze.

"Kiddo, did you figure this out already?"

"Mhm. I investigated everyone in Imperial City who had dealings with Garrick, including Grandpa."

Noella had meticulously researched anyone acquainted with Garrick. Hearing Noella openly admit to investigating even him, Marcel's expression slightly faltered.

"My girl, you don't trust even me?"

"Grandpa, you're influential and an old acquaintance of Garrick. It fits my investigation criteria."

Marcel's eyes widened in disbelief!

"Don't worry, Grandpa, you won't tarnish your good reputation. We weren't close before, so I had to check."

The vast network of Polaris Star's investigation, not even uncovering anything on Marcel, spoke volumes about his integrity! Hearing Noella even investigated her grandfather, Tristan's schadenfreude hadn't fully bloomed when his daughter added.

"Buy one, get one free. I've checked on everyone in the family too, Dad. Your investment in that island last month doesn't look too promising."

Tristan: "What?"

"Beckett Corp's business expansion into Polaris Star territory is being expedited at my request."

Beckett was somewhat surprised.

"I was wondering why that got approved so quickly!"

Rising Glory Group had been bracing for a long battle!

Noella chuckled softly, "Beckett's project plan was flawless and aligned with Polaris Star's industrial chain, so it's not nepotism."

Beckett had personally overseen the project, working tirelessly for days!

"Ulrich, there was an issue with a batch of reagents in your lab. Lunaris sent you the data adjustments, did you see it?"

"I saw it!"

Ulrich was sweating bullets!

"It was a minor issue that even I missed! If you hadn't pointed it out, it would've been a disaster!"

Noella subtly hinted at Ulrich. Given Ulrich's lab level, such minor data discrepancies were almost certainly deliberate!

"Stirling, Azure's new season requirements have been sent to you; the clothes will suit you well."

Stirling scratched his head.

"Noella... I had no idea you were Master Azure!"

"I chose Stirling as the face of Azure's fall and winter men's line not because you're Stirling. From every angle, you're the perfect spokesperson!"
