The Killer Queen (Noella Briony)

Chapter 419

They were each other's first love!

Palmer's fingers gently brushed across Noella's flushed lips. "If only the timing and the place were right... What a pity."

Feeling the intense gaze he fixed on her, Noella understood what Palmer meant by 'pity' at that moment!

The fashion show venue was brilliantly lit with many candles, thanks to Kitai's genius. Backstage, elegant candelabras, reminiscent of a grand castle, adorned the space. Glass covers shielded the fabric from the candle flames. The warm, orange glow caught in Noella's eyes. The sound of the wick popping spread with the light, and at that moment, they only had eyes for each other! Heartbeats skipped.

Noella gently pushed back, "There are so many people waiting outside... I should go."

"I'll come with you." Palmer bowed gracefully before her, extending his hand. "Since you're my bride-to-be, it's only right that I hold your hand." Their engagement party wasn't even today. But for Palmer, this was the first time his beloved girl wore a wedding dress for him!

Placing her hand in his, Noella smiled brightly. "Then, I'm counting on you."

"The honor is mine."

As the curtain lifted, the crowd held their breath! The Schnabel family's sons were all on edge! All eyes were on Noella as she stepped out, hand in hand with Palmer, who was dressed in a sharp white suit! It might have been a coincidence, but Palmer's suit was white today, and backstage, Noella had picked out a tie for him. Now, they looked as though they were dressed for their engagement. All the lights focused on them, making them the perfect pair!

The media hadn't expected Palmer to personally attend such an event! "Just trying on the engagement dress, and Mr. Pollack himself shows up. It seems he truly adores Ms. Schnabel."

"Mr. Pollack and Ms. Noella are such a match! I heard the Pollack Group recently acquired several factories, all as an engagement gift for Ms. Noella..."Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

"That's nothing. You know the land in the east of the city? Despite the fierce competition, it's also a gift from the Pollack Group!" "The engagement gift that costs nine figures..."

The crowd was stunned! The Schnabel sons' eyes nearly popped out! To them, it was all about their sister in her wedding dress! Jasper's eyes teared up, slightly wanting to cry. "Oh, my sister looks so beautiful, but it's a shame for that Pollack boy..."

Beckett was the most composed, his gaze shifting between Noella and a younger her cutting fabric in the background. At that moment, time seemed to blend together! Their sister had grown up without them noticing. And she had grown up well! She had someone to walk with her through life. Perhaps, they weren't needed anymore!

Stirling dabbed his eyes with a handkerchief, his teary appearance captured by the media. He just felt so sad! No wonder Yasbel was so sure; he must be Azure's spokesperson. The designer chose the most suitable spokesperson for the brand, valuing his fashion sense and fan impact. And the sister chose her brother! Azure's spokesperson would be him, and only him! For the first time, Stirling felt protected by the youngest member of their family...

The other Schnabel children felt the same, their faces wet with tears as they watched Noella.

Esme took Noella's hand from Palmer. "Borrowing her for a moment."

"Remember to return her."

Esme led Noella to the center of the runway, where the starlight effects converged on her dress, dazzling and stunning everyone! Esme's eyes were full of love. "This dress, it's Noella's first love, but it's also my star!"

For everyone at Polaris Star, Noella was their star! She bravely faced Polaris Star, leading them away, like a beacon of light in the darkness, bringing stars into their lives! Noella's eyes moistened.

Esme stepped forward, hugging Noella gently. "Be happy, or I swear I'll make whoever lets you down pay and take you away from here!"

"Don't worry, no one can let me down. You should trust my judgment."

She wouldn't choose or trust the wrong person!

At the show's entrance, Tristan and Sienna, rushing over, paused at the sight of Esme hugging Noella in her wedding dress. Their daughter was the best in the world! In the crowd Myra touched her face, surprised to find herself crying. Recalling her bold claims in front of Noella, stating only a man of high morals like Master Azure deserved Palmer, she now wished for a quick escape from her embarrassment!

...

Serene Haven.

The entrance was decorated joyously, with the Schnabel and Pollack families holding an intimate engagement ceremony, inviting only close friends and family. Palmer had decisively dealt with the Pollack Group's troublesome branches, sending them off to Lockhart Prison. Only those uninvolved in past disputes and allies of Sexton were present. Given Sexton's poor health,

the engagement was officially a family gathering!

Early in the morning, Marcel, accompanied by Wren, drove alone to the cemetery. Kneeling by Harriet's grave, Marcel personally wiped her tombstone clean. Wren said with a hint of concern in his voice, "General, there's no need for you to come down here yourself, the caretaker cleans the gravestone every day. You should be careful with your back; it's going to start acting up again!"

"It's alright," Marcel replied with a dismissive wave of his hand, "I wanted to do this last time, but I was worried Noella and the rest would think I'm being silly."

After tending to the grave for a while, Marcel gazed at the photograph on the gravestone. "Harriet, my dear, Noella and Palmer are getting engaged. I chose Palmer for Noella! I wonder, if you could see him, would you think I made a good choice?"

Wren chuckled and said, "Why wouldn't she? Look at how well you chose for Mr. Schnabel. His wife is a gem!"

Indeed, Sienna was a wonderful addition to the family, excelling as a daughter-in-law, a wife, and a mother.

"Harriet, Noella is doing just fine, so you can rest easy. And the kids you've never met, they're all doing great too," Marcel reassured the memory of

his late wife. After talking to Harriet for a bit more, Marcel took out a family photo from his pocket and placed it in front of the gravestone.

Wren, surprised, pointed out, "This photo even has Merrick and Lady Freya in it, but not you, sir!"

Even Sexton and Helen were there! The only one missing was Marcel himself.

"No, no, it's better this way. On such a joyous occasion, she might feel it's bad luck to see me. As for forgiveness, well, in a few years, when it's my time, she'll tell me herself!"

"General, please don't talk like that!"

Marcel waved off the concern, "Let's head back. Time to go home!"
