The Killer Queen (Noella Briony) novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10 

[Boss, are you doubting that there was something fishy about you being switched at birth?

Noella nodded and replied: [The Schnabel family is no ordinary wealthy family. A mixup like swapping kids that goes unnoticed for over a decade just doesn’t happen in families like that, especially when it involves several children.

[Gotcha, I’ll dig into it right away.

Five minutes later, thanks to the intel network Noella had set up herself, there was fresh news

The mixup with Noella, Briony, and Elara happened because the hospital where their moms. gave birth had a major medical mishap that year

The delivery room was moved next door to the orphanage, where there were too many people to keep track of, and the security wasn’t exactly tight, leading to the baby switcheroo

Noella: [Give me the location of that orphanage; I’ll check it out personally later.

[Boss, the orphanage and the hospital are at the same place, but the hospital has been shut down for years and is now abandoned, while the orphanage is still up and running. Still standing after all these years and in Imperial City, too? That’s no small feat. Be careful, Boss.

Noella had a hunch that something was off about that orphanage! She checked the address of the orphanage and put away her phone

Tristan’s voice came from the doorway. Darling, come down for dinner. Not sure what your taste is, so see if it suits your palate.” 

Tristan looked at Noella with eyes full of fatherly love, anxious that she might not like the dishes

Walking beside him, Noella asked, With our family’s connections, didn’t you guys want to dig into my past after finding me?” 

Tristan chuckled. It was your sister Elara who said investigating beforehand might bias us, and if your past was rough, it’d be harder for us to make it up to you. So she suggested we get to know you slowly after you came home.” 

Noella nodded in understanding

The grand dining hall was bright, luxurious crystal chandeliers scattered light across the marble walls like a gathering of stars, a fireworks display of light forming the words Welcome home, darling.” 

The dining table, worth thirty million, was made of fragrant ebony and filled the air with its natural aroma, making the food on the table look even more exquisite

Standing in front of the table were four men, all looking at Noella with eager and cautious eyes

Then they saw a girl who resembled their mother standing on the stairs, dressed in a light 

purple dress with a luminous Amethyst bracelet on her wrist

Her demeanor was elegant and otherworldly, calm and poised, as if she stepped out of a painting with a touch of ice lotuslike pride and purity

This was their sister

Tristan introduced. Noella. these are your brothers. Come on, Beckett, say hello.” 

The man at the front had a refined and easygoing appearance, a true gentleman, dressed in a custommade Italon suit, sporting a pair of precious ruby cufflinks that had fetched sixty. million at last year’s auction

Noella remembered Beckett Schnabel the boss of Rising Glory Industry, bought those cufflinks. Not only was Beckett the youngest at the top of the new rich list, but he was also a wellknown oil tycoon on the deep web

Beckett handed Noella a black card

His gentleness was unbelievable; the smile was a product of careful practice on the way home. perfectly elegant

Noella, I’m your big bro, Beckett. This is a welcome gift from me. Buy whatever you like, there’s no limit.” 

Noella took it and nodded politely. Thank you, Beckett.” 

The smile on Beckett’s face was more touching than striking gold ten times over

The second man to step forward was fair, with impeccable features and hands that looked like fine jade, tempting to be cherished as works of art

Little sister, I’m your second eldest brother, Ulrich. Here’s my welcome gift for you.” 

He handed Noella a box made of pearwood, pleasing to the touch and polished to perfection at 

every corner

There were wood shavings on Ulrich’s hands; it was clearly his handiwork

Inside the box was a hairpin and a card

Ulrich smiled. The card lets you access any medical facility worldwide freely. Whatever the situation, if you need it, you’ll get the best care possible. Of course, I hope you’ll never need it. I’m not as wealthy as our oldest brother, but I made this hairpin myself, and I hope you like it.” 

Ulrich Schnabel was a name Noella had seen in medical journals. The youngest medical genius in the world, the only one capable of performing surgeries with a hundred percent survival rate, an international sensation who many organizations tried to poach with high bids, all in vain

Noella picked up the hairpin, finely carved with orchids, made from topgrade wood that cost a hundred grand a piece

Chapter 10 

Thank you, Ulrich, I like it.” 

Seeing Noella actually wearing the hairpin he made, Ulrich’s smile bloomed like spring flowers, more satisfying than snatching a hundred lives from the jaws of death

Noella, I’m your third brother, Stirling. You’ve probably seen me before, right? This is the welcome gift from me!” 

Stirling Schnabel was the most handsome of the brothers, with piercing eyes and a sculpted nose; even his hair spelled elegance. The youngest grand slam actor in Harmonia Country, he swept all the acting awards since his debut, and his songs were known in every nook and cranny of Harmonia Country, a superstar redhot on the charts

Noella accepted the luxurious yacht keys from Stirling, expressing her gratitude. Thank you. Stirling, I like it.” 

Stirling’s eyes sparkled! He had been worried all the way that his sister wouldn’t like his gift, but her saying she liked it was just perfect

The last man couldn’t wait and strode forward, scooping Noella up in a whirl

Tristan exclaimed in alarm, Jasper, put your sister down! If you drop her, I’ll kill you!” 

Sienna screamed and rushed forward, wishing she could kick Jasper a few times for fear he would be too rough and hurt their precious gem

Jasper Schnabel was dressed in a floral shirt, the top button undone, revealing a sexy Adam’s apple

The Schnabel family folks were all pretty much the cream of the crop when it came to looks. and Jasper, with his slightly roguish charm, was no exception. Thanks to his handsome mug. you just can’t find it in you to dislike the guy

Jasper, the worldrenowned hotshot lawyer, had strutted his stuff in international courts and never met a case he couldn’t knock out of the park. His cut from a single case could hit the eightfigure mark talk about every word being worth its weight in gold

Noella, this is a little welcome gift from me what’s a young lady like you doing with a yacht?” 

He claps his hands, and a parade of servants stream in, wheeling in a massive clothes rack

It was organized by color and type into six sections, decked out with this season’s haute couture from toptier designers. Matching shoes, bags, and necklaces were all there, too, saving Noella the hassle of mixing and matching
