The Killer Queen (Noella Briony)

They were trying to cut corners. But instead of a bargain, they lost a child! This was not what they had intended!

Noella spoke calmly, “Jasper, taking in another child isn't much of an issue for our family, but human snatchers should still be caught. Imagine the danger they pose."

"My sister has a point."

Jasper wholeheartedly agreed with Noella's decision!

In the face of such people, they had to show their strength!

The middle-aged woman opposite them started to panic.

"Jasper, you're a lawyer, how can you break the law? Tina is clearly our child; she has nothing to do with you guys!" "Your child is registered under my sister's name, which makes her my sister’s child. You are now human traffickers.” Ordinary parents turned into traffickers! And this was all their own doing!

Jasper stood up, "You have three days to sort this out, or you can think about your child from jail.”

Facing Noella and Jasper's resolute gaze, the middle-aged couple slumped into their chairs!

The man, baffled, slapped the woman across the face.

"Whose child is Tina? Mine or that deadbeat Austin’s?”

"Of course, she’s yours..."

The more the man thought, the angrier he got, taking all his frustrations out on the woman!

Behind them, Noella raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Jasper, Ms. Darcy's case should be winnable, right?”

"It wasn't before, but now it is. Who do you think I am? This is a minor issue!"

"How did their child end up registered under me?”

Jasper stroked Noella's hair, somewhat helplessly.

“It's not uncommon. Just last month, I handled several cases where the registry staff took bribes, thinking no one would notice, and just let it slide." They never thought such a thing would involve Noella!

Jasper checked his phone. "Shall I take you home? I need to head to the law firm."

"No need, I'm meeting Beckett for dinner. I'll just go to Beckett's company."

Beckett's Rising Glory Group was nearby.

After dropping Noella off at the Rising Glory Group. Jasper hurried off to meet his clients.

Outside the Azure store.

A young girl, arms filled with shopping bags, pointed at Kitai, furious.

"I'm a customer, why won't you let me shop?"

"Sorry, ma'am, Azure only serves clients with appointments.”

"Can't I make an appointment now?"

Kitai maintained a professional smile. "Of course, you can make an appointment for another day and come back then." "I won't come back in a few days if I make an appointment now."

Facing this persistent customer, Kitai discreetly rolled his eyes.

Who didn’t know Azure's rules?

After a new product launch, items sell out quickly, leaving only non-sale items and custom orders for important clients on the shelves. Seeing Kitai unmoved, Oriana and her friends clenched their teeth in frustration!

Spotting Noella behind them, Kitai's eyes lit up! There she was, bringing her latest designs!

"Ms. Schnabel, right this way, please." Kitai bowed deeply, almost rushing to pull Noella inside.

Stepping into the store, Noella said casually, "Show me your best-sellers.”

“Right away, your favorite pastries are already prepared."

Noticing the clear preferential treatment, Oriana nudged her friend.

"Myra, it seems they're looking down on us... This is too much."

In Oriana's circle, the wealthiest friend was Myra

Her family did business internationally, hardly fitting into the local elite circles...

But Myra, having lived abroad since childhood, was accustomed to princess treatment and strode in with her chin up. She stood hands on hips, looking down at Noella, who was about to take a sip of water.

"You, get up, I want to sit!"

Noella didn't even glance at her, blowing on the tea leaves in her cup, "What happened to the previous tea?"

"It's finished. This is a new variety from Mizar, around ten thousand a cake, not expensive. Please, enjoy as much as you like.” Azure was entirely Noella’s, not to mention a bit of tea! If she wished, she could even have Kitai make the tea.

Feeling ignored, Myra was displeased. "I'm going to complain about your store!”

Kitai cheerfully replied, “Certainly, the manager's office is to the left outside."

How silly, to think of complaining in the owner's store! Not to mention that Noella had shares in the mall itself. and the managers all recognized her.

Kitai explained, "Ms. Schnabel's accumulated spending is at the level, do you prefer to pay by card or cash?" Noella raised an eyebrow slightly.

Kitai merely quoted a figure.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Hearing the astronomical figure, Myra stepped back!

"How... How can it be sc much?"

"You mightnot be aware, but Ms. ~ Schnabets wardrobe is exclusively provided by Azure. That's just ter ownSpending, not counting & what others buy for her. to 6 -

The store might not have everything now, but we can arrange for items from the warehouse. Serving our customers is our duty!” Kitai stepped forward, bringing the card reader right up to Myra.

The numbers were set, and staring at the string of zeros, Myra felt a wave of dizziness wash over her.

If she actually spent that much on clothes. her family would probably throw her into the deep fryer...

Kitai's tone was dripping with sarcasm.

£

you can't afford it, no worries. We're not hete to force anyone to spend, butsince you didn't have an> appointrhent and were quite rude; we'll have to ask you to leave. Feel freetd come back when youhave an appointment!” 4

Myra's face was a palette of indignation and embarrassment.

"You... you have no clue about Azure! Master Azure's designs aren't just about making money; they're for thé whole world! Ms. Schnabel, peaplé like you, who only know how to.’ splash cash, are exactly the type Master Azure despises" & Content bélongs ©

Noella raised an eyebrow slightly. Wasn't she running an Azure boutique to make money, to funnel more funds into Polaris Star's research projects? Surely it wasn't just about the ideals, was it?

Kitai couldn't help but laugh! "Madam, no one understands Azure better than Ms. Schnabel!”
