The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 16

Beckett whisped out a pass card and handed it over to Noella.

“Here’s the key to every mall under Rising Glory. It’s loaded with a 5% stock of the group. You can now strut into any place like you own it. No more waiting in line to get in.”

Stock?

Sackett cracked a smile, the affection on his handsome face growing.

“You’re my sis; tossing a few shares your way is a piece of cake, and it makes shopping a breeze. Just swipe the card I gave you – the sky’s the limit. If it’s not enough, holler at me!”

“Do the other brothers have one too?”

Beckett said matter–of–factly, “What makes those rascals think they can score shares from me? I’ve had this card ready for ages, just waiting to hand it over when you got back.”

Years ago, when the four Schnabel boys found out Elara wasn’t their blood sister, they started planning the perfect welcome–back present.

Beckett was sick of the homegrown troublemakers, but now that his sweet and cuddly sis was back, he was all in on spoiling her rotten!

No need to clear the place. I’ll have lunch with you.”

“Alright your wish is my command.”

Beckett gazed at his little sister, liking her more by the second, his face beaming with a panemal warmth that could match their parents“.

She really knew how to make his day, so understanding and considerate!

Beaming with joy. Beckett gave Noella a few instructions and then zipped off to work.

Meanwhile the security guard stood in front of Belinda and her crew, politely but firmly informing them they were banned from shopping at Rising Glory Group establishments.

Belinda fumed. “Why can’t we shop? We’re customers, too! What’s the deal with Rising Glory
