The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 89

Ashlyn was just dying to get Palmer alone in the hospital room so she could spill the beans about what she knew. If he brought that broad along, what the heck would she even say?

She gave Annie the stink eye and bossed her around. “Go tell Noella she’s not allowed to see me. I need some one–on–one time with Mr. Pollack.”

Annie’s mouth twitched.

Why did she feel like the missus‘ grandma didn’t exactly have a soft spot for her own granddaughter?

Instead, she was all goo–goo–eyed over Yvonne. To an outsider, Yvonne seemed more like the flesh–and–blood granddaughter…

“I can’t make that call, but I’ll pass your message on to Mr. Pollack.”

Ashlyn cut Annie off, clearly annoyed. “Cut the crap. You’re an assistant at the Pollack Group and you can’t handle this simple task? Totally useless.”

Annie kept her polite, professional smile plastered on her face. “I believe my work ethic is something for.Mr. Pollack to judge.”

“Fine, you can go now.”

Ashlyn got a headache just looking at this secretary. Once Annie left, she turned to Yvonne with all the seriousness in the world and said, “Yvonne, once you marry Mr. Pollack, you better chase away all those flirty girls hanging around him. They’re nothing but trouble.”

“Grandma, I got it.”

Seeing her granddaughter acting all sweet and obedient, Ashlyn grinned with satisfaction.

Clearly. Yvonne was her most sensible granddaughter; the others were just lowly girls not fit to

be seen.

Yvonne carefully watched Ashlyn’s mood and slipped out a Nourishment Pill from her pocket, popping it into Ashlyn’s mouth.

Ashlyn had been hooked on those Nourishment Pills for years; they were like her lifeline. As soon as she took it, her furrowed brows relaxed.

“Grandma, I’m your only granddaughter. Only if I marry Palmer will you have good days ahead. You gotta listen to me, stand by my side.”

Ashlyn, drifting into sleep, heard Yvonne’s voice gradually replacing the voices in her head, as if her memories were being rewritten.

“Yeah, I know… I know…”

Seeing Ashlyn like this, Yvonne sneakily transferred some cash to herself using Ashlyn’s phone.
