The Killer Queen (Noella Briony)

Chapter 468



Seeing Noella, Beckett and Ulrich instantly perked up.

"Noella, what brings you here?"

"I had to deliver Azure Corporation's quarterly financial report, and there's some partnership business with the group. Since Ulrich is here, I also brought Malvina's prenatal checkup results."

Ulrich had been on a surgery marathon for the past two days, not having closed his eyes for twenty-eight hours straight. Just as he was about to send a reassuring message to Malvina, he stumbled upon some alarming information on the dark web.

He immediately sought out Beckett without delay.

Malvina had her checkup yesterday, with Noella and Sienna accompanying her.

"Malvina is in great shape, and the baby is healthy too. Rest assured."

Ulrich skimmed through the report in no time.

"Noella, if you and Palmer had a fight, would you be upset?"

Noella was somewhat puzzled.

"We don't fight."

When we do run into issues that aren't so easily resolved, a good old brawl is more efficient than a debate!

Ulrich was taken aback.

No fights?

What kind of couple doesn't have their disagreements? This must mean there's a serious problem!

Could the Pollacks have already discovered Noella's other identity?

Ulrich felt a pang of empathy.

"Noella, don't worry. If things get tough, just come back home. Your brothers will take care of you! My sister can remain unmarried for life; there's nothing wrong with that!"

Noella was thoroughly confused.

"What's going on? What happened to Palmer?"

Beckett shared the troubling news from the dark web with Noella.

Noella remained composed.

This must be the "gift" 7-Slayer mentioned.

Revealing her identity would undoubtedly attract a slew of assassins and pose a danger to the Schnabel family.

Indeed, a perilous gift that few could afford!

Beckett observed Noella's expression.

"Noella, don't worry. No matter what the Pollacks think, our family wants you!"

Ulrich nodded continuously.

"Yeah, we stand together through thick and thin. You're our most cherished sister. If things escalate, we'll find a place to hide. I'll even quit my job and go with you!"

Beckett agreed.

"Except for Grandpa, who can't travel abroad, the rest of us will go wherever you go!"

Seeing how Beckett and Ulrich made such a hasty decision to flee the country with her, Noella couldn't help but smile.

Her smile was warm, and her face, much brighter since returning to the Schnabel family, was filled with happiness.

"Beckett, Ulrich, if you trust me, there's no need to hide. They wouldn't dare come after us."

"As for Palmer... he wouldn't hate me for this."

With swift movements, Noella used Beckett's computer to access the dark web portal, opening a recently highlighted message. 【Touch Wise Fool and face death. Vocalist.)

【I am Vocalist, Wise Fool is my fiancée. Welcome to Imperial City, Pollack Group!)

This message was like a stone thrown into the sea, causing waves of shock!

Noella pointed at the message: "Because Palmer is also an assassin, my partner."

Beckett and Ulrich were stunned!

The dark web's top assassins, both affiliated with their family?

Could this family be saved?

Beckett silently put down his phone, canceling the purchase of a secluded island he had just considered as a refuge!

He had already envisioned where the family would take shelter!

Ulrich, looking at the computer, realized Palmer had openly declared himself alongside Noella's identity, showing he was determined to stand by her side through thick and thin.

The information about Wise Fool was indeed captivating.

But with Vocalist joining forces, their combined strength was greater than the sum of their parts!

Beckett asked, "Is Palmer trying to draw fire to himself?"

"That's not it. No matter how many come, it's all the same to me!"

Seeing Noella's nonchalant demeanor, Beckett felt for the first time that his sister was formidably intimidating!

Ulrich, puzzled, asked, "Noella, how did you... get into this line of work?"

"It started when Grandma was ill; I was a bit strapped for cash, and this job pays well. Then, the Polaris

Star's expenses were overwhelming, and I needed to support the family. Now that Polaris Star is

self-sustaining, and with

financial support, I'm not short on money!"

"As for Palmer, it was due to his mother's situation."

Ulrich breathed a sigh of relief.

He hugged Noella, "We'll keep this a secret for you!"

"Just don't tell Grandpa and the parents, Jasper already knows."

As for Stirling, Noella recalled a message she had just received.

【Noella, even with a mask, you're beautiful. But Stirling hopes, next time someone stands in front of you, it's Stirling.】

Stirling had recognized her on the cruise ship!

As an actor renowned for

transforming into various roles,

experiencing different lives on and off the screen, Stirling could identify someone by a glance or a gesture, even through the most meticulous disguise.

No disguise could fool Stirling!

S

Ulrich exclaimed, "...So we were the last to know?"

That's just too much!

Noella explained, "If Ulrich didn't access the dark web, you probably wouldn't have found out."

Ulrich had been monitoring the dark web for a piece of specialized equipment, which led him to discover the news.

Beckett asked seriously, "Are we in any danger soon?"

"There might be a few threats, but not many. The Schnabel family's security is tight as Fort Knox, no need to worry about home safety."

The windows at the Schnabel residence were all custom-made bulletproof glass, typically imprable to gunfire.

"I'll have my people look after you.

Beckett, rich, Stirling, and your sister's security detail might seem solid, but my crew makes them look like rookies. From now on, I'm taking

charge of your safety!" Content

Now that Beckett and Ulrich were in on her little secret, Noella decided she might as well take over the security operations for the household.

Beckett was taken aback, it was the first time anyone had suggested his personal security might be lacking!

"What about you? Your safety is what matters most!"

Noella grinned confidently.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"I'll be sticking close to Palmer for now, don't worry. Knowing you're safe is the best protection I could ask for."

"Beckett might not get our game, but if it came down to a shootout, all of them put together wouldn't stand a chance against me and Palmer!"

On the deep web, a message started making rounds.

【Welcome to Imperial City, my dear sitting ducks. Wise Fool.】

【Since someone's made a bold move, I've got a little something in return. Keep your eyes peeled!】

Elsewhere, a burly middle-aged man with a lollipop in his mouth was squatting at the entrance of Imperial City's special rehabilitation school, glued to

his phone.

Dog-Head muttered to himself, "I knew there was something fishy about those two! A real Bonnie and Clyde scenario, teaming up to dupe us all!"

Recalling how Wise Fool and Vocalist had run rings around him, Dog-Head felt like crying.

At least Shiba had been placed in the best rehab school for intervention.

A flashy SUV pulled up to the curb, splattering mud on Dog-Head as it drove through puddles left by a recent rain.

Just as Dog-Head was about to unleash a tirade of curse words, the vehicle circled back and doused him in mud again.

"Freakin' hell, are you out of your mind?!"

The window rolled down, and Thorpe whistled at Dog-Head.

"Get in! We've got a big score to settle!"
