The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 18

Chapter 18

Yvonne was fuming and green with envy as everyone fussed over Noella, checking on her.

Despite being a daughter of the Schnabel family too, why couldn’t she get the same VIP treatment?

Noella was thoroughly checked over by the family from head to toe.

Tristan, spotting Yvonne still standing there, waved his hand dismissively and said, “Yvonne, your sister’s back, You can hit the road now.”

Yvonne swallowed back her tears, reluctantly dragging herself away.

This was all Noella’s fault!

Why did she have to come back and steal everything from her?

Yvonne bolted straight for Ashlyn’s hospital room and as soon as she entered, she collapsed beside Ashlyn, crying her eyes out.

“Grandma, what did I do wrong? I saw Noella getting kidnapped and rushed back to tell Mom and Dad, and I even busted my phone, but they didn’t believe me and kicked me out!”

Ashlyn’s eyes snapped open, the sparkle of vitality shining in them.

“You’re saying Noella was kidnapped?”

“Yeah, and I saw those thugs touching her all over, stripping her clothes off…”

A look of disgust and agitation flashed across Ashlyn’s eyes. She frowned and said slowly, “We. the Schnabel family don’t want a tainted granddaughter. Yvonne, remember, you are the only granddaughter of the Schnabel family, got it?”

Yvonne was over the moon!

“But what about Mom and Dad…”

“I’m not dead yet. I call the shots in the Schnabel family.”

Ashlyn patted Yvonne’s hand, her face wrinkling into a smile. “You need to secure that marriage arrangement with the Pollack family. Once you marry in, you’ll always be the Schnabel family’s one and only daughter!”

light bulb went off in Yvonne’s head!

Right, the marriage deal with the Pollack families!

She grew up in the Schnabel family, groomed to perfection as a lady of high society. Once Mr. Pollack laid eyes on her, he’d surely see she was the perfect match.
