The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 94

Chapter 94

Palmer was a bit taken aback – this box had a super tight lock system, the kind where if one messed up the unlocking process, it would seal itself shut forever.

The moment he laid eyes on the box, Palmer got what the old man was driving at.

He was almost completely certain his grandfather was using the unlock–the–box excuse to get him to bring her home and keep her there.

But who would’ve thought? Noella cracked it open just like that, leaving Sexton, who was rubbernecking from the window, utterly gobsmacked!

What the heck was going on with this kid?

Why didn’t Palmer let Noella know the key was at the house and that she needed to follow him home to open the box? Now she had gone and opened it, and all his plotting went down the drain!

Palmer looked at Noella with an extra tender gaze.

Seemed like she was full of more surprises than he had ever imagined!

Noella deftly opened the box to find two things inside: a photo and a key.

The kid in the photo was cute as a button – a mini version of Palmer. Young Palmer was as adorable as a doll, with a chubby, fair face and cherry lips, though… he was dressed in a skirt.

Noella couldn’t help but laugh when she saw the photo. She never imagined Palmer had such a picture from his childhood.

Palmer panicked for a second when he saw the photo.

Why did Grandpa put that picture in the box? Didn’t he say last time that those cross–dressing photos were all destroyed?

When Palmer looked up, he caught Sexton behind the curtain, throwing him a peace sign.

“When was this taken?” Noella asked.

Palmer was a bit resigned but answered anyway.

“When I was three. My mother liked to… do this kind of thing.”

“It’s pretty cute, I’m keeping it.”

Palmer’s expression was a bit bitter.

“I think you could make better choices, like taking a portrait with me. The Pollack Group has a top–notch photography team. You could have lots of pictures you like instead of this one.”
