The Killer Queen ( Noella Briony ) novel Chapter 94

Chapter 94 

Palmer was a bit taken aback this box had a super tight lock system, the kind where if one messed up the unlocking process, it would seal itself shut forever

The moment he laid eyes on the box, Palmer got what the old man was driving at

He was almost completely certain his grandfather was using the unlockthebox excuse to get him to bring her home and keep her there

But who would’ve thought? Noella cracked it open just like that, leaving Sexton, who was rubbernecking from the window, utterly gobsmacked

What the heck was going on with this kid

Why didn’t Palmer let Noella know the key was at the house and that she needed to follow him home to open the box? Now she had gone and opened it, and all his plotting went down the drain

Palmer looked at Noella with an extra tender gaze

Seemed like she was full of more surprises than he had ever imagined

Noella deftly opened the box to find two things inside: a photo and a key

The kid in the photo was cute as a button a mini version of Palmer. Young Palmer was as adorable as a doll, with a chubby, fair face and cherry lips, thoughhe was dressed in a skirt

Noella couldn’t help but laugh when she saw the photo. She never imagined Palmer had such a picture from his childhood

Palmer panicked for a second when he saw the photo

Why did Grandpa put that picture in the box? Didn’t he say last time that those crossdressing photos were all destroyed

When Palmer looked up, he caught Sexton behind the curtain, throwing him a peace sign

When was this taken?Noella asked

Palmer was a bit resigned but answered anyway

When I was three. My mother liked todo this kind of thing.” 

It’s pretty cute, I’m keeping it.” 

Palmer’s expression was a bit bitter

I think you could make better choices, like taking a portrait with me. The Pollack Group has a topnotch photography team. You could have lots of pictures you like instead of this one.” 

Noella looked up, a smile playing at the corners of her mouth. Then give me back that photo in your wallet.”

Chapter 94 

Palmer was caught off guard. When did she notice he had a photo of her as a kid in his wallet

There weren’t many photos of Noella from the Lambert family; the only childhood ones were taken by Old Mrs. Lambert. They were faded, but thinking of them as Noella’s only childhood memories made Palmer’s heart melt. He ended up carefully preserving it, tucking it into his sevenfigure leather wallet

I have other photos from my childhood.” 

I only want this dressone of you.” 

Seeing her insistence, Palmer threw in the towel

Noella picked up the key from the box, What’s this key for?” 

It’s for the Pollack ancestral home. Grandpa is telling you he approves of you becoming the future lady of the Pollack family.” 

With the wealth and status of the Pollack family, it took more than a key to get into the old house, but the key symbolized absolute ownership

Noella frowned slightly. This is too valuable; I can’t take it.” 

Grandpa is watching. If you hand it back to me, he might get upset.” As Palmer said this, he subtly gestured towards Sexton

Noella looked up to see Sexton practically hanging out of the window, looking like he was about to jump

Noella! If you don’t take that key, I’ll jump right now, and you, Palmer, you useless lump, can arrange my funeral! I’ve got my coffin all picked out!” 

Worried the old man might slip and do something rash, Noella reluctantly accepted the key. Palmer nodded at Sexton, who hopped back in, delighted, and started filming Noella and Palmer together

It was just too perfect! A match made in heaven

Palmer said with a soft smile, Take it. It’s just a key. If not for you, I probably would never have the chance to give it away.” 

Though it was just a key, it represented half the empire of the Pollack family

Alright, I’ll take it for now. If you want it back, you can come to me.” 

Sorry for the hassle. To make it up to you, let me take you out to eat and share some info about Thorpe.” 

Noella was puzzled. She took the key to the Pollack ancestral home, and he was apologizing

Yet, Palmer’s reasoning left her with no way to refuse

Okay.”

Chapter 04 

Annie, standing in front of the car, quickly opened the door for Noella, Miss, please get in.” 

Noella’s gaze swept from Annie’s face, noting a red mark, and she was surprised

Who had the nerve to be so rough with Palmer’s secretary

What happened to your face?” 

Annie didn’t expect Noella to notice her face, let alone show such concern, and she was nearly in tears from emotion

Look at that such a kind and gentle miss, soon to be her boss lady

I’m fine; thank you for your concern, miss.” 

Noella pulled out a tube of ointment from her pocket and handed it to Annie. It’ll heal in a week. Be more careful next time.” 

Annie, overwhelmed, covered her mouth in disbelief, looking at Noella holding the ointment. She acted as though what she had done was nothing, just casually giving her some ointment

MissI’ll apply it every day! And when it’s used up, I’ll enshrine the jar and light incense for it every day!” 

Noella was speechless. It was just a jar of ointment, no need for all that

Getting in the car, Palmer took Noella’s hand and admired it

Seeing Noella’s concern for Annie’s face, his gaze also fell on Annie
