The Killer Queen ( Noella Briony ) novel Chapter 464

The atmosphere was electric just moments ago.

The folks from Polaris Star were still marveling - true offspring of the Schnabel family, no doubt.

Watching Jasper holding Noella and choking up, even Xavier fell silent.

“This kid… sure is an interesting character…”

Forget the looks being nothing like Breeze’s; this personality didn’t match the ruthless heir of the Toxic Monarch one bit!

Noella patted Jasper’s back.

“I’m fine, Jasper. You okay?”

“I’m good. But there was something off with the equipment over there, so I stayed to help them check. That’s why I’m late.”

After making sure Noella was alright, Jasper finally relaxed.

Holding Noella, Jasper buried his head in her neck, whispering, “This is our secret. Jasper will keep it, won’t let the family know.”

Both knew exactly what they were talking about.

Noella chuckled softly, “Thanks, Jasper.”

Jasper understood her!

There was no need for the Schnabel family to know about this chapter at the border.

Sienna and Tristan, with their personalities, would probably lose sleep over it, sobbing every day, worrying about the hardships Noella had to endure.

The thought alone was headache-inducing… yet heartwarming.

Jasper let go of Noella, looking around.

“Where’s Millie? Haven’t seen her.”

Noella pointed towards a nearby lookout tower and pursed her lips, “Over there.”

Having just returned from the Baker Group, Millie had been sitting alone on the lookout tower, staring intently at the sea, lost in thought.

Jasper climbed up, sitting beside her, waving his hand in front of Millie’s face.

“Millie? What’s up? Got your bell rung next door?”

Millie forced a smile.

“Do you think life is really short?”

“Huh?”

Jasper felt like he was on high alert!

The image of Noella mentioning Millie’s health issues flashed through his mind.

Was it that Millie’s health had declined again, bringing her closer to life’s end?

Jasper’s heart skipped a beat.

“No, don’t think like that. Life is long, really long!”

Millie felt like giving up.

Life is long, meaning her embarrassment would last many more years?

She wished she could just disappear.

“If you had to choose, would jumping into the sea or off a cliff be better?”

Jasper’s expression grew even more serious!

“Why end your life? Don’t you have any memorable moments? Any idols? Think about your idol, doesn’t that make you want to keep living?”

Millie stared blankly at Jasper.

“No, seeing my idol makes me want to die even more.”

If it weren’t for her idol, she probably wouldn’t have been so eager to end it all!

Jasper felt like his brain was overheating.

“Millie, you need to pull yourself together!”

“I don’t want to. I’m so embarrassed!”

Jasper clenched his teeth, “What’s there to be embarrassed about? Tell me, and we’ll act like it never happened!”

Millie’s heart sank.

Her embarrassing moment? That was just her constantly picking fights with her idol.

Was that something she could just say out loud?

Millie, furious, slapped Jasper and stormed off!

Jasper, holding his arm, watched her go, utterly baffled.
