The Killer Queen ( Noella Briony ) novel Chapter 432

"It's actually a blessing in disguise," Beckett said, his demeanor calm as ever while leading Noella toward their private lounge.

"At least we'll save some money."

Seeing the smile on Beckett's face, Noella couldn't help but smirk too. If the Celestial Ocean Diamond was indeed Luna's creation, they would simply pass on it. With Luna's attitude earlier, she couldn't possibly design something that truly resonates with the soul.

The Schnabels prided themselves on unity and avoided internal strife at all costs. Buying jewelry from such a designer was the last thing they wanted; it would just leave a bad taste in their mouths. And just like that, Beckett had also blacklisted the eldest son of the Patels.

"Elara's still young; there's no rush in finding her a partner. The Patels wanting to meet her now is nothing but a greedy move!"

Even in their circles, such greed wasn't uncommon. They were eyeing Elara, the sole heir of the Richardsons and the only granddaughter of the Pollacks, who was also dearly loved by the Schnabels. Lately, everyone looking to get acquainted with Elara ended up contacting Beckett, much to his frustration.

"These people are delusional! Since when is a daughter of the Schnabels something they can covet?" Beckett fumed.

Noella sighed, "Some even approached Palmer, and I've been getting calls too..."

Those people had bought the latest from Azure and asked for Noella's contact details. Kitai thought they were after their hard-hearted boss! But it turned out they wanted to meet Elara. Noella had turned them all down.

Beckett massaged his temples. "Leave these matters to me from now on! If anyone bothers you, it doesn't matter who, just block them. I've got your back."

"Thanks, Beckett," Noella replied.

Marisol, trailing behind the Schnabel siblings, was beyond thrilled. The Schnabels really were as doting on Mr. Schnabel as the rumors suggested!

"Beckett's interested in buying the Celestial Ocean Diamond?" Marisol asked.

Mentioning the Celestial Ocean Diamond brought a sparkle to Beckett's eyes. "Someone would love it, and I'm planning to use it for a proposal!"

Beckett was open with Noella, sharing his intentions without reservation. Noella was taken aback. Then, curling a finger to her lips, she chuckled softly.

"Beckett, you really have a connection with that designer. Don't worry, the Celestial Ocean Diamond will surely be yours."

"A connection?" Beckett asked, intrigued.

Noella nodded, "I know the designer. She created the Celestial Ocean Diamond with weddings in mind, so your proposal might just resonate with her. In that case, she might just agree to sell it to you!"

Beckett's face lit up with joy. "Let's hope so. If you see any jewelry you like, just let me know. It's on me!"

...

Meanwhile, Luna stormed back to the lounge, seething with anger. Remembering how Beckett looked at her and spoke to her, she was overwhelmed with humiliation and burst into tears at the table. Damn the Schnabels! Her affections for Beckett were a blessing he scarcely deserved, yet he dared speak to her that way!

Luna, appearing fragile, wept at her table, drawing the attention of several designers. Darcy approached Luna.

"Hi, is there anything I can do to help?" Darcy asked kindly.

Luna was infuriated. Couldn't this country bumpkin see she was dressed in top-to-toe designer? As if she was someone his simple kind could approach! Lifting her head, Luna snapped, "Get lost!"

Darcy, taken aback, returned to his seat. Dalia Sinclair, who had come with her, frowned. "Is she crazy or something?"
