Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 393

Noreen thought for a moment. “Probably,” she said. After all, Seth had always been willing to clean up Bianca’s messes.

The situation was escalating quickly, and news traveled fast. Before Noreen had even left the office, she heard from an inside source at Aurelion Group that the fallout from the fireworks incident was causing Ascendancy Group’s stock to plummet, which in turn was dragging Aurelion Group down with it.

The shareholders were furious.

Seth was forced to call an emergency board meeting. Rumor had it the shareholders were unanimously demanding Bianca be held accountable—most likely by being forced to resign.

But Seth wouldn't budge. He was single-handedly holding off the pressure from every single shareholder.

It was true love, no doubt. The only question was how long he could keep it up. Noreen was morbidly curious to find out.

The repercussions of the fireworks incident continued to spread. Word was, the lights at the Aurelion Group headquarters hadn’t been turned off in days. Meanwhile, Bianca, the woman at the center of it all, had been admitted to the hospital, citing exhaustion.

The next day, when Noreen took Claire to the hospital for her sprained ankle, Claire insisted they try to catch a glimpse of the drama. Noreen, however, put a stop to that idea.

“Why won’t you let me go?” Claire grumbled. “I just want to see that bitch Bianca get what she deserves!”

“I have to get back for another meeting! Don’t make my life harder than it already is, please.”

Claire groaned at the mention of another meeting. “Why are you in meetings all the time? I’ve been here for two days, and you’ve been in meetings for two days straight. You have no time for me.”

“I’ll hang out with you as soon as I’m done.”

“…” That sounded awfully familiar. She’d said the same thing yesterday.

Just as Claire was about to protest, Noreen pulled out a black card and handed it to her. “I’ll have my assistant take you shopping. Buy whatever you want. No limit.”

Claire’s attitude did a complete one-eighty. “You got it, babe! You go rock that meeting. Don’t worry about me.”

The hospital lobby was bustling with people, but Claire spotted him immediately. She tugged on Noreen’s sleeve. “Look, it’s jerk Seth!”
