The Killer Queen

“Don’t sweat it, everything will be by the book.”

Vincent’s all about saving face, and the bet agreements he’s signed have got him ready to fork over a pretty penny.

As for

Rosenberg family. Noella had never thought twice about them.

Alkaid was so stoked to hear her say that, he was this close to setting off a string of firecrackers to celebrate Noella’s decision!

“Awesome!”

After hanging up the phone, Beckett gently knocked on Noella’s door.

“Beckett, come on in.”

“Noella, Grandpa asked me to swing by Yvonne’s school, and I was thinking, since you’re about to hit college too, wanna tag along and check it out with me?

Beckett said that, but really he was just looking for an excuse to hang out with Noella!

They were all so slammed with work; managing to grab breakfast together was a feat, let alone finding time to spend with Noella.

Noella pondered a moment; MediCore University has the most detailed top–secret files on the Nourishment Pill – perfect for a little recon.

“Sure.”

MediCore University, the top academy of Imperial City’s educational institutions, boasted a powerhouse faculty. The second–ranked Calvin’s medical lab in Harmonia Country was located there, only outdone by the top–ranked Ulrich’s lab.

Milford, wheeled in by Briony, got hit with a wave of youth vibes the second he entered the campus. Mini–skirted beauties and white–coated doctors everywhere, instantly igniting his

uniform fetish!

This place was just too good!

Milford adjusted the bandage on his face, scouting for his next target. Seeing him eyeing the crowd, Briony was sour as a lemon.

Those girls, flaunting their long, fair legs in skimpy outfits, were blatantly trying to seduce her fiancé!

“Noella? What’s she doing here?”

Milford, eagle–eyed, spotted a girl stepping out of a deep purple Porsche, those legs long and slim, perched on a pair of limited–edition Master Azure heels, outlining her figure to perfection.

Beckett tossed his car keys to his secretary and caught up to Noella in a few strides, tenderly

touching her hand.

“It’s a bit chilly: I forgot to tell you to dress warmer. Next time, I’ll have a jacket ready for you in the car.”

As he spoke, he gentlemanly slipped off his suit jacket and draped it over Noella. Her light green tulle dress, now paired with the jacket’s scent of dark, rich agarwood, added an air of cool elegance, her gaze lofty.

“Thanks, Beckett.”

“Let’s head to the registrar’s office. I’ve got a meeting lined up with the director of MediCore University.”

Following Beckett, Noella’s striking looks and aura drew a crowd of onlookers.

Briony’s nails were practically digging into her palms!

Milford was beside himself with excitement, pointing at Beckett’s figure and shaking like he had Parkinson’s!

“That’s him! I knew he had something to do with Noella. He’s the one who hit me last time!” “Milford, was it him who hit you before? But he looks like he’s loaded. It doesn’t make sense he’d come after you for Noella.”

Milford looked at Beckett with a mix of rage and fear. Just thinking about how his once handsome, dashing face – ready for stardom – was disfigured by Beckett’s jealousy, Milford was itching for a fight!

“Briony, Noella’s just down in the dumps because she can’t marry me, so let’s forgive her!”

Briony couldn’t believe Milford was still speaking up for Noella.

—

Noella was indeed looking great back in the day at the Lambert family’s place, even with Belinda’s ban on dressing up, Noella still drew a flock of noblemen to their doorstep. And now, hooking up with

someone loaded…

That green tulle dress alone was a custom piece you couldn’t just buy at a Master Azure’s store!

Briony was green with envy, pushing Milford forward, blocking Noella’s path.

“Noella, how could you have Milford beaten up? You owe him an apology! Even if you can’t marry Milford, you should at least wish us well. I’m so disappointed in you- look what you did to Milford!”

Noella was at a loss for words.

This mummy is Milford? She thought Briony had some hobby of wheeling around relics.

Beckett stepped in front of Noella, his gaze icy. “Ms. Lambert, I believe I’ve already warned you!”

Briony was a bit intimidated by Beckett. After being blacklisted by all the Rising Glory Group’s malls, Briony did her homework on Beckett and found out he was the CEO of Rising Glory Group, worth billions!

Briony thought, how did Noella snag someone like that. Especially since, looks–wise, I don’t lag behind at all!

“You must apologize to Milford and cover all his medical expenses! Noella, our parents always taught us not to bully others with power. After you left home, you kept bothering Milford and even resorted to such actions when he rejected you.”

Noella frowned slightly, glancing at Milford. “You think I’m obsessed with this kappa? Sorry, I don’t have a fetish for ugly.”

The surrounding onlookers, who had been watching the commotion, burst into thunderous laughter.

The director of MediCore University hurried over, rushing up to Beckett. “Mr. Schnabel, Miss Schnabel, welcome to our school for a visit. We have everything prepared for you. Please, follow me.”

Beckett didn’t even throw a glance at Briony and Milford, just scooped up Noella and hopped into the director’s ride, peeling out of there like a bat out of hell..

It left Briony dumbfounded.

“That was the director of MediCore University just now, wasn’t it? Why was he calling Noella ‘Miss Schnabel“?”

Milford got a bunch of texts from his bros to hit up a bar outside the school, and just to brush it off, he said, “Who knows what those rich folks are into. If you dig it, I can call you that too, Miss Lambert. Let’s go.”

Briony clenched her teeth, peeved as she watched Noella’s figure disappear in the distance, but MediCore University was just too massive; she couldn’t see squat.

On the electronic screen of the college town mall, there scrolled a fancy poster with Noella in a light blue princess gown, chilling in an old–school courtyard enjoying the flowers. The diamond tiara on her head was sparkling so bright, her every pout and smile was drop–dead gorgeous, making you think she was some international supermodel or something!

And there was this fancy font scrolling across, “Happy Birthday, Princess Noella Schnabel!”

Briony’s eyes nearly popped out of her head!

How come Noella’s photo was plastered on the mall’s screen, and with the surname Schnabel… Could it be she’s got some ties with Mr. Schnabel from Rising Glory Group?

No way!

“Milford, could it be that Noella is related to Mr. Schnabel?”

Milford caught sight of that photo too, his eyes brimming with barely concealed awe! He’d always known Noella was a stunner from the get–go, but who would have thought that with diamonds as her backdrop, she’d turn into this showstopping beauty that he just couldn’t take his eyes off.

“How could they be family? Didn’t Mr. Lambert say her folks were just chicken farmers in Emerald County? It’s probably just a coincidence they share the surname Schnabel!”

Briony eyed the words on the poster. “Triple Entertain Media… Could it be Noella has taken up a stage name, gearing up to break into showbiz?” All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Triple Entertain Media was the biggest entertainment powerhouse in Imperial City right now, rolling deep with supermodels and A–list actors, and resources that were off the charts.

If Noella’s really aiming to launch from Triple Entertain Media, with a face like hers, she’d shoot to stardom in the blink of an eye.
