The Killer Queen ( Noella Briony ) novel Chapter 99

Chapter 99 

Erek had been staring at Palmer for quite a while before he suddenly remembered that last time at the bar, his boss was dancing with a guy on the dance floor, and he even recorded a video, planning to post it in the Obelisk Organization’s private chat

Look at that; even the boss had her romantic escapades

Never thought you’d have a fling with Abyssal Organization’s Vocalist. Boss, you’re” 

Erek gave Noella a thumbs up, his face beaming with pride

That was their boss, nothing short of awesome

A smile played on Palmer’s lips as he cast a meaningful glance at Noella

Noella lifted her foot and aimed a kick at Erek. Did you defuse all the bombs in the hospital?” 

Erek dodged with practiced ease. Ahnot yet. Thorpe planted fortyeight bombs in this hospital; I’m still on the hunt.” 

Speaking of bombs got Erek steamed up

Last time at the bar, Thorpe and Toxic Monarch were defusing bombs everywhere, and Erek spent the whole night defusing them instead of having fun

He didn’t even have a second to say hi to the pretty boy who was hitting on his boss, talk about. infuriating

Luckily, he got another chance to meet him, and he was even his bossfiancé now. Just the thought made Erek excited

Nice to meet you, Mr Pollack. I’m a member of the Obelisk Organization; after you marry our boss, we’ll be part of the family assets you guys share! Looking forward to working with you, Mr. Pollack!” 

Noella couldn’t hold back and kicked Erek in the back

One halfhour, miss one bomb, and you lose a month’s salary.” 

Come on! Boss, you’re heartless!” 

Erek thought about his already pitiful paycheck, and with tears as wide as noodles, he greeted Palmer and headed off to defuse bombs

Palmer called out to Erek, Abyssal Organization has a member who’s good at defusing, too; go with him.” 

Aw, how can I accept this kindness? Mr. Pollack, you’re such a good guy!” 

Noella glanced over. Fifteen minutes. If you defuse fewer bombs than the guy from Abyssal Organization, you lose a year’s salary.” 

Chapter 59 

A year’s salary! His pay was already peanuts

Filled with righteous indignation, Erek left on his noble mission to outdefuse bombs against the folks from the Abyssal Organization

Now, it was like he had a blood feud with the Abyssal Organization

Palmer unfolded a medical mask from the desk and carefully placed it on Noella

He was a good halfhead taller than her, so he had to bend down slightly when he spoke, making it sound like his voice was coming from deep within his chest

Got a competitive streak with my people, too?” 

It’s only right, you wouldn’t want your Abyssal Organization to be weaker than my Obelisk Organization, would you?” 

Palmer smiled, brushed Noella’s hair aside, and tucked it neatly behind her ear. Of course not, but I just think that someone too weak can’t protect my fiancée. Abyssal Organization’s folks started off protecting themselves but ended up protecting those I want to protect. It’s the same with your Obelisk Organization, right?” 

Yeah, the same.” 

Their kind lived on the edge of danger in the international warzones, amid blade and shadow, filled with desolation and bloodstained sin

Noella had founded Obelisk Organization initially just to protect those she rescued from Polaris 

Star

She, too, was once part of Polaris Star; they were saving themselves, defending themselves, and protecting their loved ones

The year she was taken to Polaris Star, she managed to save herself and learned all sorts of skills with the members there

When she returned to Old Mrs. Lambert’s side, she concocted a potion to conceal all traces of her assassin life on her hand so as not to worry her grandmother

Old Mrs. Lambert said nothing, just hugged her over and over, saying it was good to have her back, her treasure by her side

During that year, apart from Old Mrs. Lambert, no one sought her out

Vincent and Belinda couldn’t care less about her safety, so much so that her multiple returns to Polaris Star went unnoticed

Noella looked at her hands and let out a selfdeprecating chuckle behind her mask

At least she had protected her grandmother, and now there were more family members she wanted to protect

Palmer felt the subtle shift in her mood and took her hand, enveloping it in his warm palm

BLA 

10:23 

Don’t think about the past; we have now and the future. Don’t be sad.” 

Noella was surprised. How did he know she was reminiscing

Palmer looked into those eyes that shimmered like glass beads, now reflecting only his image. satisfying his heart immensely

He picked up a mask and handed it to her. Would you mind? I can’t see my own face.” 

Noella took the mask, a bit speechless

Even if he couldn’t see his face, there were mirrors in the office; couldn’t he see for himself

Meeting his expectant gaze, Noella took the mask and carefully fitted it on him

Let’s go; Thorpe’s little brother’s room is just next door; it’s just Thorpe and his brother in there now.” 

Noella followed Palmer into the hospital room where Thorpe sat peeling an apple for a middleaged man lying in bed

Hearing the noise at the door, Thorpe immediately stood up, alert, with the fruit knife aimed at the entrance, on guard

Noella ignored his actions and went straight to the man lying in the hospital bed

Give me your hand.” 

The man in bed was pale, his lips tinged with an unhealthy shade of black and purple, and he reached out his hand to Noella

Thorpe looked like he had seen a ghost, his muscles all tensed up and on high alert, ready for these two to make a move. But when the woman approached, his guard was totally gone
