The Killer Queen (Noella Briony) novel Chapter 394

Helen was determined to bring Lavinia back into the Pollack family fold!

Horatio, puzzled, asked, "As what, exactly? Elara's mother, or as the second wife in your household?"

Helen's emotions were a tangled web.

"Just as Elara's mother is fine, but... I do have my own reasons."

She knew what her husband fretted over most in life.

It all boiled down to Palmer's wedding and the unresolved saga between Jacob Pollack and Lavinia!

She simply wished for Sexton to spend his final days without regrets, to depart this world in peace!

Helen sighed deeply.

"Oh, it's tough, really tough! I mean, I could swallow my pride and approach Lavinia, but even then, how do I even broach the subject?"

Horatio got the hint and let out a knowing "Oh."

"So, big sis, you're saying you'd rather have me embarrass myself on your behalf?"

"You'll be fine, you've got a thick skin."

Helen just wanted Horatio to step in, to persuade Lavinia to stand by Jacob's side during Noella and Palmer's engagement party!

That was all.

But even this simple request was hard for her to voice!

After all, the Pollack family owed a great deal to the Richardson clan.

Horatio quipped, "Half a million, no discounts."

Helen rolled her eyes and transferred the money to him immediately.

The next moment, she saw Horatio getting up with a grin.

His involvement in this matter warranted some compensation, and Helen couldn't stand his attitude about it!

"The wise man sets out, but as for karma and destiny, I make no guarantees! Fate shouldn't be forced!"

Helen fanned herself lightly.

"Take Elara with you."

Just as Horatio stepped out, he paused.

He heard Helen's distant voice gradually rise.

"Firstly, it's about her parents' affair, and secondly, if you can gift your precious prayer beads, a visit won't hurt."

It was clear Helen saw through much but chose to say little.

Horatio instinctively reached for the prayer beads on his wrist, only to grasp at air.

His expression solemn and serene, betraying no emotion.

"Namaste, I understand."

He had said so himself; fate should not be forced!

...

Lunar Lab.

The lab was bustling with activity, multiple control experiments running smoothly and methodically.

To develop a new drug to sustain Sexton and ensure he could attend the engagement party comfortably, the entire lab had been working round the clock without proper sleep for a week!

After concluding all the experiments, Noella finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Professor Calvin, assisting in the lab, was nearly cross-eyed from fatigue!

Had Noella not been short-staffed, he wouldn't have had the chance to witness Lunar Lab's experiments firsthand!

This was Phantom Surgeon Lunaris at work!

Seeing the entire lab's workflow, Calvin realized that in the face of sheer talent, hard work paled in significance.

He was utterly convinced!

As a top-tier medical scholar domestically, Calvin had once considered himself a genius.

But witnessing Lunaris's experiments made him realize he was nothing special!

Watching the experimental outcomes, Calvin rubbed his face.
