The Killer Queen

“Stirling, hurry back! This girl looks like a walking barcode, makes my head spin if I stare too long.”

Thinking back to how Oriana had just brought the Lambert family couple in without hesitation, Elara couldn’t see her in any sort of good light at all! Just by looking at her expression, and hearing the extremely excited confession she had just made to Stirling, it was clear that this fan was probably the type that Stirling disliked the most.

The obsessed kind, thinking she’s his true girlfriend!

Elara pouted. “Noella, looks like she

you as competition too.”

In the eyes of fans like Oriana, any girl near Stirling was the enemy!

Especially Noella, who was showered with Stirling’s affection, dancing right into Oriana’s danger zohe. So, from the moment she laid eyes on Noella, Oriana had her in her sights!

Noella just shrugged it off. “Crazy is as crazy does. If a dog bites me, I don’t bite back.”

Elara nodded in agreement. “Must have crawled out of some dark alley, this one.”

Oriana, hearing Noella and Elara’s undisguised mockery, nearly fainted with anger! Remembering how Noella had overheard her passionate confession, she blushed but quickly rallied.

“Stirling, I don’t know when I ever offended Noella. She’s always picking on me.”

Noella raised an eyebrow. “Me, picking on her? When did that happen?”

Elara chimed in, “Delusions are a sickness too. Barcode, better get that checked out!”

Stirling stepped back, distancing himself.

Tears welled up in Oriana’s eyes, as if she was sure Stirling would take her side. She’d been his fan for years, his posters decorating her room since his debut. Stirling had been her rock all these years! In her heart, Oriana believed that Stirling would always stand by her.

Stirling frowned, a look that could kill a mosquito.

Noella casually mentioned, “Stirling, this girl brought the Lambert folks into our neighborhood, and Grandpa is still fuming.”

Stirling was alarmed. “Noella, are you okay? What’s the security doing? Did they bother you?”

Noella shook her head. “No, Grandpa took care of it.”

Hearing this, Oriana realized the Schnabel family didn’t value Noella’s adoptive parents as she had hoped. If they truly cared for Noella, they’d have shown some respect to her adoptive parents too!

“Stirling, how could Noella be so disrespectful to her adoptive parents? It’s just so unfilial. If get a chance, I’ll make sure to teach her a thing or two, since she’s your sister.”

Stirling’s eyes deepened with disgust. He’d encountered fans like her before. They acted as if they owned him, denying him a personal life. Anything he did would be met with a barrage of messages “advising” him to follow their script. He appreciated his rational fans, but some were just too much!

“You probably have some brain problems. There’s a clinic outside the neighborhood you can visit.”

Oriana was devastated!

“Stirling! How can you say that to me? I’m only looking out for you!”

“The last thing I need is a self–righteous fan like you. And Noella is my sister. She’s the best in my eyes, no matter what. You have no right to judge her!”

Stirling signaled. “Security, make swe don’t have any unwanted visitors around here from now on.”

“Understood!”

person she thought he was. Although known for his sharp

tongue in the industry, she didn’t expect him to turn it on her!

“Stirling! You’ll regret this! Without fans, you’re nothing!”

Stirling watched Oriana’s furious departure with a calm, almost cold demeanor.

“I might not be the star without you, but I will always be a Schnabel.”

With the Schnabel family’s support, Stirling knew he had plenty of options.

His agent suggested, “I got a video of this. Let’s use it to deter fans like her and call for rational fandom.”

“Good, sue if we need to. No mercy.”

Stirling was all for treating fans kindly, grateful for everything he had achieved and the accolades. But if anyone dared to target his sister, that was a line crossed.

After briefing his agent, Stirling turned to find his sisters smiling up at him.

Elara, tossing her short hair with a flirtatious smile, said, “Stirling, don’t listen to her nonsense: You got to where you are with the Schnabels‘ support, your looks, and your acting skills.”

Noella nodded. “Everything you are, you earned yourself and was given by your audience. Losing fans like her is actually a blessing.”

Stirling felt a warm glow inside, his smile bright and gentle as an early spring day.

“Yeah, I know.”

Before Stirling could finish his thought, Elara teased, “With your smarts, taking over the family business might be a stretch, but your looks could definitely attract some sugar mommas. Forget those crazed fans, time to make some calls while you’re still young!”

Stirling’s smile froze, his fists clenched tight as he glared at her.

“Elara! Just you wait, I’ll get you for this!”

Watching Stirling roll up his sleeves and march upstairs, Elara grabbed Noella, pretending to weep dramatically.

“Stirling’s gonna kill me! He’s out to get me. I knew I’ve always been the outsider…”

Noella gave a resigned smile, gently patting Elara’s cheek with a mix of compassion and drama.

“Don’t worry, Elara. We’re all family here. Stirling won’t kill you, at worst you’ll be bedridden for a few days. Go on, I’ve got your back!”

“So heartless!”

The Schnabel Manor was alive with the sounds of Elara and Stirling’s uproarious sibling rivalry.

In a hospital, at the emergency department corridor, a young man, wrapped in bandages and leaning on a crutch, sidled up to a woman sitting in a corner. He had spotted a real knockout from across the room!

“Excuse me, miss…”

Malvina Gruber had just left the fight club, aching all over, barely able to lift her arms. She knew Ulrich was swamped and didn’t want to be

a bother

so she decided to wait it out in a corner.

“Are you a mummy?”

“No, no, I’m just a patient here too. I’ve been watching you for a while, wondering if you might like to get to

know me!”

“No thanks…”

Before Malvina could finish, the mummy guy cut in again. “Hear me out before you decide! My family’s loaded, we even have a microwave at home. You won’t regret being with me!”

Malvina’s face was a picture of confusion. “Huh?”

“I see you’re here alone, must be tough. You won’t have to play the tough girl anymore, because your knight in shining armor is here!”
