Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 390

“Get out of Rivercrest City!”

Through the swarm of people, Noreen saw Seth and Bianca, who were being mobbed by reporters. They must have just landed, only to be ambushed by the media and environmental activists who had been tipped off. The activists had come prepared. As they chanted, they began hurling rotten eggs.

Seth shielded Bianca with his body, protecting her from both the cameras and the projectiles. As the eggs flew toward them, he stood in front of her, taking the hits himself.

Noreen watched the scene unfold, a flicker of something familiar stirring within her. She had once thrown herself in front of him just like that, to shield him from the same thing.

“Babe, are you out yet?” she asked.

“My ankle!” Claire wailed. “I twisted my ankle!”

Noreen picked Claire up and took her straight to the hospital. As the doctor examined her, he kept frowning and glancing at the high heel on Claire’s other foot.

“I understand wanting to look good,” he finally said, unable to hold back, “but are these heels really necessary? You’re tall enough as it is. It’s no wonder you got hurt.”

Claire looked down sheepishly. “I was just cast as a secret agent. The role has a lot of action scenes in high heels. I was just trying to get used to them.”

The doctor just sighed.
