The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 41

Serene Haven was buzzing with energy early in the morning. Both the Schnabel family at Phoenix Tower and the Pollack family at Dragon Tower were swamped with visitors.

After all, their buildings just

happened to be next to each other!

The guests all prepared two gifts just in case someone from either family took a shine to them.

People almost wore out the Schnabels‘ doorstep with all the gift–giving traffic!

Yvonne’s rich girlfriends, who were tight with her, were green with envy seeing such a turnout!

“Yvonne, your family is really going all out for you, throwing such a bash for your birthday. I heard they even transferred the deed of this house to you!”

“Oh my gosh, Yvonne, you’re living the dream! I heard it’s being streamed worldwide; talk about parental love!”

Yvonne’s smile was a bit on the stiff side. “It’s not my birthday.”

The gals thought she was just being shy.

“We know your birthday’s next week. You’re the only daughter of the Schnabels. If it’s not for your birthday, then what’s all the fuss about? Your dad, mom, and brothers probably want to celebrate just with you next week, so they’re doing it big now!”

“That carpet you’re walking on costs a cool three mil! That’s so Schnabel family it hurts. We’re so jealous!”

Yvonne was super awkward. She was totally at a loss for words! If only she knew how much she wished all of this was for her!

“Don’t be like that… My parents don’t like making such a big deal.”

Her friends gave her a playful nudge with their shoulders, and one of them said with a raised eyebrow and a smirk, “You’re one lucky girl. To be with you, your fiancé even bought the building next door. Those two towers are a match made in heaven; it’s envy–inducing.”

“Palmer’s got romantic moves like that?”

“Ah, I’d kill for a fiancé that’s as romantic and thoughtful as yours!”

Palmer bought the building next door? Yvonne thought it must be for her!

He had no idea the Schnabels had any other daughters, so that purchase had to be for her!

Yvonne’s heart was buzzing with sweetness.

“It’s nothing: I’ll invite you all over sometime.”

Her friends let out sounds of envy.
