The Killer Queen ( Noella Briony ) novel Chapter 70

Chapter 70 

Tristan rubbed his temples; his voice was as cold as ice. Vincent, right? Where you at now?” 

I’m at the hospital where Mr. Marcel’s staying! Some blind bat rammed into my wife! If you want a chat, Mr. Schnabel, you can come on over. Got a bunch of juicy secrets that could interest you

Tristan had yet to meet someone who actually got him to make a house call. How could people. be so shamelessly thickskinned

Vincent hung up, still lost in his daydream about his soontobe rocketing success

Mr. Schnabel must be intrigued by what he said: maybe he would even come to meet him in person. That would be his chance to call the shots the Lambert family’s troubles wouldn’t be a concern anymore

As Vincent mulled over this, he dialed his secretary. Tell those companies we can do without their partnership. Whatever they want, we’ll cough it up as per the contract!” 

The secretary hesitated, Boss, that’s gonna cost a pretty penny. We’d have to drain all our liquid assets

Vincent couldn’t care less about that chump change

Chill, I’ve got a plan. North Peak Finance, South Mountain Financial, East Sea Culture Company. West Ocean Media the companies that look down on us don’t matter. Soon, they’ll be the ones I look down on! Pfft! Just a bunch of nobodies! Once I’ve inked a deal with Mr. Schnabel, I’ll be strutting across Tranquility City!” 

The secretary quickly agreed and went off to deal with the claim contracts from those companies

Tristan hung up, fuming mad, feeling like his heart was going to burst

Damn the Lambert family! I was thinking since they raised Noella, I’d let bygories be bygones, but they’re crossing the line!” 

Sienna, hearing it was the Lambert family on the phone, quickly asked, What did they say? Definitely nothing good. Get rid of them fast. I heard they’re also at the hospital. We can’t let them bump into our precious girl. These people are insatiable and have no shame. If they see her, they’ll definitely bother her.” 

Tristan was on the same page. Should we send our little treasure to study abroad?” 

Sienna shook her head, not liking the idea one bit. Our girl hiding from them? Wherever our darling wants to study, she’ll study. She’s responsible for being happy; we’re responsible for keeping those people out of her sight! Besides, if we send our treasure abroad, wouldn’t that mean she’d hardly see Palmer? That’s not gonna help their relationship grow.”

Chapter 70 

The main thing was they couldn’t bear it! They had only just gotten their daughter back, and they wanted to see her every day

You’re right. I’ll arrange for someone to give that damn Vincent a beating! Heck, make it a buy one get one free beat up his whole family!” 

Tristan quickly sent out the message. Then, he called Noella, his voice dripping with fawning affection and tinged with caution

Hey, darling, it’s me. How’s your mood today? What have you been up to?” 

Pretty good. Played chess with Grandpa this morning, then went to buy gifts for my other grandparents with my brother in the afternoon.” 

Buying gifts, that’s great! Daddy’s gonna send you some pocket money right away, just a little something. Go and treat yourself; you’re looking too thin!” 

Noella was speechless

In the month or two since she got back, she had received who knows how much pocket money. Seeing her bank account balance now, Noella was a bit numb

Without realizing it, she was living off her family’s generosity. No need, I still have money.” 

Tristan was nearly in tears! Darling! Do you think our family’s too poor? Don’t worry, Daddy’s 

going back to work tomorrow! You don’t have to worry about us

Noella was at a loss for words

The Schnabel family going broke? As if

broke!” 

If the Schnabel family ever did go broke one day, the GDP of Imperial City would take a twentyyear step back. Not to mention it was impossible for the Schnabel family to go bankrupt, but even if that day came, she had ways to make them bounce back

Alright, I got it.” 

Tristan hung up, pleased as punch, and in a flash, Noella received a transfer of fifty million. Just after hanging up and transferring the money, Tristan’s expression turned cold again. What on earth is Beckett doing? Why haven’t those two families gone bankrupt yet!” 

They couldn’t sleep at night thinking about all the suffering their precious daughter had endured without making those two families pay

Sienna thought for a moment and grabbed Tristan, Let’s find a time to ask Beckett but keep it from our darling girl. She’s so kindhearted, she’d definitely be upset.” 

Thinking about Noella’s past, Tristan and Sienna burst into tears

Damn the Lambert family

Clapier SU 

At the Lunar Lab 

The whole lab was kitted out with the world’s most advanced equipment; even the sinks had been switched to automatic temperaturecontrolled ones, and they had added a bunch of new 

greenery

Noella walked into the lab wearing a white coat

Boss! Your conned fiancé really came through! He even swapped out our lab toilets for ones with autochanging seats!” 

How did he know we’ve been dying for hightech toilets? We were gonna bet on the loser to tweak the data and rig up a fully automated toilet!” 

For this bunch of geniuses, tweaking a toilet’s data was a piece of cake

Noella glanced at Phecda. Where’s the experimental data?” 

Right here. Toxic Monarch’s got ten Mirage Grasses. Still MIA, could’ve hit the black market by 

now.” 

Find a way to track it down.”
