The Killer Queen ( Noella Briony ) novel Chapter 454

Pearl's jaw nearly hit the floor!

What in the world was happening?

Dillon hiring someone to kill Stirling, Luna nearly causing Malvina to miscarry?

Memories of what happened at the diner flashed through her mind. Pearl, cunning as a fox, instantly realized Luna was behind this mess and trying to wash her hands of it!

That darn girl!

Was she trying to drag the entire Patel family into the abyss?

Pearl immediately stood up, "Mr. Schnabel, I had no idea that lady was Malvina last time, my apologies..."

Ulrich rolled his eyes.

"So, not knowing she was my wife makes it okay for you guys to attack a pregnant woman, huh? I think my wife made it abundantly clear she's pregnant. I have all the recordings and surveillance. You're in for a lawsuit!"

"Great, the Schnabel family has some ace lawyers too, ready to give the Patel family a run for their money!"

And who's the Schnabel family's best in legal battles? Jasper, of course!

Who in their right mind would want to face Jasper in court?

The guy doesn't just win cases; he makes the opposition go bankrupt with ease. Plenty of people steer clear of any legal matters linked to Jasper.

Pearl fumed, "Mr. Schnabel, there's a saying about sparing others when you can. Does the Schnabel family really think they can reign supreme in Imperial City?"

Beckett smirked and patted Noella's shoulder.

"With my brother-in-law's family in the mix, we should be good!"

Who doesn't know about the Pollack family and the Schnabel family's engagement party?

Palmer making a grand gesture by gifting his fiancée Franse a manor, along with original shares of the Pollack Group!

It's no secret that at the Pollack Group's shareholder meetings, there's going to be a new face around.

Pearl threatened, "If this goes to court, can the Schnabel family's affairs withstand scrutiny? There's plenty of room for compromise, Mr. Schnabel, don't you understand? I'll make sure these reckless kids of mine pay the price, so let's not hold grudges."

Beckett replied, "Ma'am, you're not in a position to negotiate with me."

Pearl's facade crumbled!

"This is the Patel family's home!"

Noella chuckled, "Are you so embarrassed you want to keep us here forever?"

Such words weren't meant for open discussions, but Pearl indeed harbored such intentions.

If the Schnabel family continued their relentless pursuit, she wouldn't hesitate to resort to drastic measures.

"It all depends on Mr. Schnabel's cooperation now."

Beckett couldn't help but laugh!

"Oh, the Patel family, how interesting! Truly fascinating!"

Outside, a buzz filled the air.

A dozen helicopters surrounded the Patel family's manor!

The butler rushed in, "Madam, Mr. Pollack is here to pick up Ms. Schnabel..."

Did picking someone up need such a grand display?

Clearly, this was a well-prepared show of force by the Schnabel family to intimidate them!

The butler added anxiously, "Madam, Mr. Pollack is waiting in the hall!"

The hall was still hosting a banquet, attended by the Patel family's elite guests. A public spectacle would only embarrass the Patel family.

"Since Mr. Pollack is so attached to Ms. Schnabel, let's all head out then."

Noella smiled innocently, "I thought you planned to deal with us here, what a pity."

"Ms. Schnabel, you're exaggerating. The Schnabel and Patel families are friends, after all!"

Pearl stressed the word 'friends', almost crushing her dentures.

Noella offered to wheel Pearl out, "Let me help you, ma'am."

"Thank you."

As Beckett and Ulrich led the way, Pearl whispered to Noella, audible only to them.

"Ms. Schnabel, this was intentional."

"If you're trying to test me, there's no need. Your granddaughter isn't worth my trouble."
