The Killer Queen (Noella Briony)

Chapter 360

As soon as Elara finished speaking, the previously vanished monkey, followed by a large troop, made a grand entrance down the hill! Horatio directed his disciples to orderly distribute food among the monkeys.

The next moment, the Schnabels were stunned to witness the monkeys, now in clusters, carrying away Garrick and his cohorts! Tristan was dumbfounded. He had braced himself for a showdown with Garrick!

But who would have thought... that the mountain monkeys would come to the rescue?

Noella signaled Nolan from the shadows.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Moving swiftly, Nolan led the monkeys, and upon departure, a few more individuals were taken along.

Garrick struggled in vain as a monkey stuffed a rock into his mouth, the earthy taste nauseating him until he rolled his eyes back and fainted. Horatio murmured a prayer.

"God bless, it seems Garrick has a special connection with these monkeys.”

A special connection? This was certainly an unexpected turn of events!

Regaining his composure, Ephraim expressed his concern, "Marcel, we should arrange for someone to look after the cemetery. It wouldn't be good if it disturbed your wife's peace.”

Garrick was known for his relentless pursuit of his goals! Marcel, looking weary, nodded in agreement.

'I've already made arrangements.”

His gaze was steely, hinting at his resolve.

Ephraim nodded, "Then I'll be on my way. There’s a heap of matters to attend to back home. If she is free, bring Noella over for a family tree update. I'll make sure it's taken care of."

"Any dissent in the family?”

“Don't worry about that. The Schnabels stand united. As long as you acknowledge her, she is treasures to the Schnabel family. Our prosperity and unity span generations, not by making life hard for the young ones."

The Schnabel clan members echoed in agreement.

Marcel nodded

Ephraim was a smart man

“Alright, I trust you with this."

After paying his respects, alongside presenting Linnea, Ephraim quickly departed with the family.

Marcel sighed deeply as he glanced at the memorial hall.

“Harriet, I'm sorry you can't rest peacefully yet. It's all my fault.”

They had misjudged Garrick, allowing him to exploit many opportunities!

As Marcel reflected on Harriet's photo, he sighed again. "We placed our trust in the wrong person with Garrick..."

Suddenly, Elara remembered Lavinia mentioning an experiment during a conversation, a secret project she got involved with. Could it be related to the so-called Polaris Star?

Elara tugged gently at Horatio's robe and released her grip as he looked her way, her action leaving him somewhat disappointed. "What's the matter?”

"Master, can you divine the future?"

Divining was the domain of mystics, not monks. Yet, facing Elara's earnest gaze, Horatio replied softly, "Perhaps."

"Could you uncever past events then?"

"I've never tried, but it's worth a shot."

Truth be told, Horatio had never divined anything before, let alone accurately.

But Elara believed otherwise. If Horatio wasn't certain, it must be close to true! A revered monk like him wouldn't deceive her. The secrets Lavinia couldn't recall or refused to share, Elara hoped Horatio could reveal them

Plan set!

Horatio whispered to Noella. "Do you have a book on divination?"

Noella looked puzzled. "I'm not a mystic. Why would I need that? Seek a sage!"

The last sage they knew had vanished, possibly in seclusion after an uproar over Cassius.

Horatio scratched his head, worried. It seemed a visit to the local mystic's place was in order

On their way back, Sienna brought up the Schnabel family.

"Honey, I didnt.want to burden you with this, butthe current patriarch of the Schnabels is your great-uncle! ~ Since Lirtnea will be working c osely with yau; interactions with himare inevitable.

Reflecting on these events, Sienna felt a wave of nostalgia. “Ashlyn insisted on the girls’ auspiciousness, so your great-uncle also took Linnea in. The Schnabels aren't lacking in resources.”

Elara, nestled against Noella, voiced a concern, "Mom, I hope Linnea isn't like Yvonne. Maybe she should work elsewhere if she gets jealous of Noella.”

“That's unlikely. Linnea is not like Yvonne. She funded her college education ant even taught in mountaineus regions. The money ~ from the'Schnabels went to road construction in mountainous <' regions,’ Sienna explained, admiring Linfiea's efforts. “If Linnea. turns out like Yvonne, we'll addresgnit then. It's a promise your grandfather made, and I can't object.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

Noella nodded.

Who managed the hotel was of little concern to her, but she was open te checking it out at Marcel's request.

Hearing Noella's interest in visiting the hotel, Sienna promptly instructed the driver to stop, signaling the convoy to do the same. Palmer grinned as he drove. his eyes flickering with amusement.

"Hey, Palmer, our Noella wants to check out her hotel. You got a sec to tag along? Show her the ropes if she's got any questions!" The Pollack Group, with its chain of hotels spanning the globe, had Palmer as their ace in the hole.

Sienna threw Palmer a knowing look, whispering. "Noella's been down in the dumps about her grandma. Take her out, will ya? Cheer her up!" Noella shot Sienna a helpless glance, her expression saying, 'Do you really think I can't hear you?"

“Don't worry. I'll take good care of Noella," Palmer promised.

Once Sienna got Noella into Palmer's car, she watched them drive away. a sense of relief washing over her.

Out of nowhere, a shared bike zipped into view, with Nolan pedaling furiously and finally stopping in front of Noella’s car.

"Boss, Garrick and the crew got dumped in the backwoods. They wan't be making it back anytime soon!”

"Got it," Noella responded, nonchalantly.

The manager, flanked by staff, greeted them with a chorus of "Welcome home. Ms. Schnabel!” Tristan had given them a heads-up about Noella's visit. Yet, the arrival of Mr. Pollack himself alongside her was an unexpected honor!

Linnea, now donning a sleek business suit, stood a little way off. Her eyes lit up at the sight of Noella and Palmer.
