The Killer Queen ( Noella Briony ) novel Chapter 456

After all, she was the ringleader of a scam gang operating along the border.

And not just any gang, but one that had teamed up with several local fraudsters to pull off their schemes. Where on earth did Noella dig up this information?

Noella calmly stated, "Millie and Jasper have been digging around The Baker Group these past few days."

Part of this information came from previous investigations by Polaris Star, with the rest sent over by Millie just now!

Stirling's eyes widened in disbelief.

"What? Jasper's gotten involved with a scam gang? Isn't that dangerous?"

Yasbel, standing next to Noella, had a complex expression.

"Well, considering the main gig for our dynamic duo of lawyers – or, as we translate it, our super con artists..."

Yasbel continued, "Millie once made a daring escape from Northstone and proved she's not someone The Baker Group can easily handle."

Stirling gasped, "Wait, escaped from where?"

"Northstone?"

Noella nodded, "Millie had some free time and since the Gallagher family's gem business was right on the border, she decided to take a look."

Turns out, despite her harmless appearance, she bumped into the scam gang. Thinking she had nothing better to do, she joined them. But when she found out they were after her kidneys, she made a break for it, torching the Gallagher's gem factory on her way out and pinning it on the scam gang.

Noella added, "Escaping from Northstone took her about eight or nine hours, no big deal. The Baker Group has a few of Xavier's people inside, so Jasper's safe too."

Ulrich waved it off.

"No need to worry about Jasper. He might be young, but he's got more guts than Stirling."

Stirling felt slighted.

"So, I'm the only useless one in the family, huh!"

Beckett explained, "Children of the Schnabel family must prove themselves through trials!"

Stirling scratched his head, "Beckett has to revitalize the Rising Glory Group, Ulrich came back alive from his stint as a doctor without borders, facing all manner of crises while keeping his oath. Jasper went undercover near a drug lord, and it was Jasper who brought down the Toxic Monarch of Southeast Asia."

"And Stirling?"

Stirling shrugged, "I just happened to fall ill, didn't do anything!"

Stirling had been laid up at home for three months after an injury on set, followed by a nasty bout of the flu.

And just when he learned that Elara wasn't the biological daughter of the Schnabel family, the whole family was in turmoil!

Marcel spoke up, "Maybe we've been too harsh, expecting too much. The kids should just be safe and healthy. Whether they face the family's trials is up to them from now on!"

Because of this, Stirling became the only son not to undergo the family's trials!

Beckett shook his head.

"Stirling, just keep your innocence. A son of the Schnabel family needs to stand on his own, but not necessarily rise from adversity."

"But Jasper doesn't need to worry, he can handle this!"

Jasper might not have Millie's fighting skills, but he's got a sharp mind.

Beckett calmly said, "When the Toxic Monarch was taken down, he was worried Jasper would be caught, even wanted Jasper as his heir."

Yasbel marveled, "To be able to outsmart a drug lord like that! Boss, what's in your family's genes?"

It seemed Stirling was among the few 'normal' ones...

With Northstone's quick escape and the smartest son of the Schnabel family involved, The Baker Group should be trembling!

Millie and Jasper sent back the internal layout of The Baker Group.

The Schnabel family, looking over the map, fell into silence...

Noella immediately shared the information with the border police.

Yasbel said, "Boss, 7-Slayer has reached The Baker Group. Erek and his team are nearby, ready to move in. Should we give them a little surprise?"

"Go for it, just keep it measured. Don't kill anyone, and while you're at it, spread the word about 7-Slayer being at The Baker Group. Let the other scam gangs turn on them. Maybe release a few folks from Lockhart Prison, there are plenty there who've had run-ins with 7-Slayer."
