The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 76

Yasbel was massaging her earlobes and leaning into Noella, breathing out a scent as lovely as orchids, enchanting and mesmerizing.

“Okay, this bug might be an eyesore, but I’ve tested it out. We can mass–produce these bad boys, and the data’s good to go.”

The bugs from Polaris Star were made in cahoots with Harmonia Country Research Institute’s top–notch labs, supplied directly to the military and for Polaris Star’s internal use.

“You’ve been working your butt off. All the credit for this experiment’s data goes to you.”

Yasbel, tickled pink, hugged Noella’s arm and nuzzled it affectionately. “Who cares about credit? I wanna be in the spotlight!”

“You got it. I’ll bankroll you. Shoot whatever movie you want.”

Yasbel’s eyes lit up like Christmas trees! Her boss was rolling in dough these days.

Back in the day, they had to hustle like crazy just to scrape together some change for their experiments. They started companies left and right, some hitting the big time, others opening shops, but money was always tight.

And those lab gears cost an arm and a leg!=

Last time, they bought a few grams of some rock, and bam, over a hundred grand gone, making the boss mine for stones up in Northstone.

Just thinking about it got Yasbel all teary–eyed.

But now, her boss had switched to a family rolling in it, and finally, they could live a bit more comfortably!

“Next month, when the Gemstone Gambling King swings by Imperial City, you’re gonna be my plus one.”

Yasbel nearly bit her tongue off, stuttering as she looked at Noella. “The Gemstone Gambling… King?”

“The old man’s coming too. No more hiding.” Noella’s gambling skills were mostly learned from the old man and Yasbel. But Yasbel chose to flaunt her beauty in acting instead. If the old man caught her, she would probably get an earful for days!

Yasbel drooped, reluctantly agreeing. “Oh, boss, I bumped into two characters at the audition. What a scene! Ran into Briony and Yvonne, and they so don’t have what it takes to act.”
