The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 44

Chapter 44

Palmer’s eyes were glued to Noella on the stage the whole time.

He’d run through a gazillion scenarios in his head, but never saw it coming that she’d turn out to be the lady of the Schnabel family!

She looked stunning in that gown! The sheer silk outlined her slender waist, which was slim enough to make anyone green with envy.

The gown was tailored to perfection, with each swirl and pleat meticulously designed, making her look like she was enveloped by waves and clouds as she moved. With a pink diamond necklace gracing her swan–like neck and her hair cascading down like mist, she was the spitting image of a fairy straight out of a storybook.

Tristan was busy introducing Noella around and raking in a ton of birthday presents.

But Palmer was on the move, heading straight for Noella!

“Hey, wasn’t there some kind of arranged marriage deal between the Pollack and Schnabel families?”

“Yeah, and look at Palmer making a beeline for Noella. If you ask me, they’re a match made in heaven.”

“Totally! Only a family like the Pollacks could land a celestial beauty like the fairy–like young lady from the Schnabel family.”

Hearing the whispers around him, Palmer couldn’t help but crack a slight smirk.

“Happy birthday! This is my gift to you.”

Noella’s eyes met Palmer’s, and there was a fleeting look of surprise in them.

Tristan slapped his forehead and quickly introduced them, “Oh, Noella, totally slipped my mind to introduce you. This here’s Palmer Pollack, your fiancé. You two were betrothed as kids and now’s the perfect time to meet.”

“Palmer, this is my daughter, Noella!”

Palmer nodded with a mischievous and teasing grin, “Noella? That’s a pretty name, got it
