Although the livestream had a large audience, the feed was cut quickly, limiting the initial spread. With Seth’s resources, suppressing the story wasn’t difficult. And given how much he cared for Bianca, he would spare no expense to clear the path for her.
That was exactly what infuriated Claire. “That’s Jerk Seth for you! Always cleaning up other people’s messes! All those years you spent on him were a complete waste!”
Noreen couldn’t have agreed more. “You’re right. I used to think that if you were good to people, they would be good to you in return. Now I realize it’s better to just be good to yourself. No middleman to take a cut.”
Claire could tell that Noreen had truly moved on, and she was genuinely happy for her. Still, she had to ask, “Do you have any regrets?” After all, it had been seven years of her life.
Noreen thought for a moment. “There’s no such thing as regret, only misplaced hope.”
“That’s my girl,” Claire said, her voice full of admiration. “Anyway, this is still worth celebrating! If you’re free, come pick me up at the airport! If not, I’ll just show up at your place and play house elf!”
“If you’re coming back, I’m always free.”
“Best friends for life!”
