The Killer Queen ( Noella Briony ) novel Chapter 258

Noella was all mixed up inside!

Emotions were like a foreign country to her; she'd never really visited.

Whenever she was around Palmer, her heart would race uncontrollably.

Was this what a crush felt like? If not, then what was it?

Palmer looked into Noella’s eyes earnestly, pulling a handkerchief from his pocket to gently wipe the blood off her hands.

"Is your brother okay?”

"He’s just knocked out. We'll ask him what happened when he wakes up."

As Noella spoke, she noticed Palmer suddenly pulling her hand closer to sniff it!

"It’s just chicken and duck blood, no worries."

Watching this man carefully clean each of her fingers before casually wiping the blood off his own hands warmed Noella's heart.

“Thank you.”

“If you really want to thank me, can I hug you?”

There was a playful glint in Palmer's eyes as his tall frame cast a protective shadow over Noella, as if embracing her.

Meeting Palmer’s gaze, Noella's heart skipped a beat again.

“Okay…”

Just as a smile flickered across Palmer's face and he reached out towards Noella, a shout echoed from inside the house.

“Noella! Are you out there?”

Noella pushed Palmer away and ran towards the house. “Stirling, I'm here!”

Palmer looked at his empty hands, still feeling Noella's presence linger.

He was so close to holding her…

With a sigh of resignation mixed with a wry smile, Palmer followed Noella inside.

Stirling rubbed his head, looking up at Noella kneeling before him.

"Noella, what are you doing here?”

"Stirling, never mind that. What happened to you and Yasbel? How did you end up here? You've been missing from the set for almost three days.”

Stirling was shocked. “That long? No wonder you're here! I'm so sorry, Noella.”

Noella shook her head, helping Stirling to his feet.

Yasbel, also groggily coming to, looked at Noella and the hurriedly arrived Nolan, then drifted back to sleep.

The crew arriving at the scene were also drenched in cold sweat, frantically checking on both of them before taking them back to Glen Village.

Stirling, sitting in Maddox’s backyard, had to eat several bowls of spaghetti to come back to his senses. Wiping his mouth, he began to recall the events of the past few days.

That night, as Stirling was about to lay down.

He always felt a pang of sadness whenever he laid in Noella's tiny room. The room was no bigger than the bathroom in his own room at Schnabel Manor, barely accommodating his tall frame.

The old, bulky wardrobe and the bed made by the village's elderly carpenter with somewhat damp wood materials made him think of how his sister and grandmother had lived in such conditions for years!

Noella glanced at Ellsworth lying on the ground. “Who did this?”

Yasbel whistled nonchalantly. “Who knows? We were all out cold, and when we woke up, he was like this!”

Clearly, Yasbel was the culprit, but with no evidence, she wasn’t about to take a day trip to the police station!

The police took away the unconscious Fuller family members, while the intruding obsessed fans had long since vanished.

Noella looked sternly at Stirling. “Stirling, you have to press charges against those people. You can’t let them off the hook.”

Stirling gently stroked Noella’s hair, speaking softly, “I’m sorry, Noella, for making you worry about me.”

With obsessed fans running wild, Jasper had also said many times they couldn’t be lenient.

"One year, a fan chasing after my car got into an accident, and then the fan's family blamed me for it. Later, someone messaged me out of the blue, asking what if my sister were to become someone else's superfan?"

Stirling chuckled sheepishly. "I know, it's unlikely. My sister would never become that obsessed with anyone, but still..."

Still, he couldn't help but think of the possibility!

"I just figured, if I treat them kindly, maybe others will do the same for my sister."

Yasbel snorted. "Come on, Stirling, how old are you? Still so naive? Not to mention whether Boss would ever become someone's superfan, it's your indecisiveness that could be your downfall."

Yasbel had known this ever since Stirling gave Yvonne a chance to audition and land a supporting role. Despite knowing Yvonne was bad news, Stirling wanted to give her a chance, just like with those superfans.

Her boss’s brother, Stirling, of all the Schnabel siblings, was probably the most tender-hearted and soft! In the entertainment industry, that's not necessarily a good trait! Wasn't it Stirling's soft heart that caused this mess in the first place?

Stirling raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Boss? Yasbel, did you know Noella before?"
