The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 97

Zachary was completely lost.

What nonsense was Vincent spouting?

“What kind of gibberish are you talking about? Pull me up already! This crappy graveyard is giving me the creeps; I’m about to suffocate here!”

Who knew which jerk with no conscience tossed him in here and left just a tiny crack in the coffin, barely enough for him to breathe?

Vincent was giving Zachary even weirder looks now.

What was a perfectly good person doing lying around in a graveyard for no reason?

And to top it off, the Rosenberg family’s ancestral home was like two districts away from the Lambert family’s!

“Zachary, oh, you’re a sly one, eh? Getting people to fix up my ancestral home just to take it over for yourself, huh? Let me tell you, this graveyard belongs to my mother, and you’re going to give it back to me!”

The more Vincent thought about it, the more it made sense. Why would Milford secretly refurbish the Lambert family’s ancestral home without telling them?

It had to be this old coot Zachary eyeing the Lambert estate and graveyard, looking for a chance to snatch away their fortune hotspot!

“Are you out of your mind? I told you I have no idea how I ended up here, and now you’re getting all up in my face?”

“You think I’m a fool? Showing up in my mom’s graveyard with your mom’s ashes? Isn’t it just to sneak your relatives in here, stealing our family’s generations of good fortune?

And you had Milford work on our old house, all because of this graveyard! Is that Martin guy one of your stooges?”

“What are you blabbering about? When did I ever get my son to fix up your family’s ancestral home? Your rundown old mansion is worth fixing?”

Zachary scrambled out of the coffin, aching all over. He wasn’t exactly thrilled to see Vincent either.

Just as he was about to leave with the urn in hand, Zachary had another thought and shuffled back to the edge of the graveyard.

“You say this place has good fortune. Well, I’m here now; I might as well bury my mother here, too.”
