Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 408

Bianca hadn’t expected her aunt to be in a conflict with Noreen, and a small frown creased her forehead. She turned to Seth, her eyes silently pleading for help.

Noreen’s gaze met his, her expression cool and detached. Seth’s face remained an unreadable mask as he glanced back at her, his demeanor distant and impartial.

“Check the security footage,” he said simply, like a neutral observer offering a solution.

His aunt, however, took it as a sign of support, and her confidence surged. “Do you know who he is? He’s the CEO of Aurelion Group! His company has the most formidable legal team in Rivercrest City. They’ll sue you until you won’t know what hit you!”

Lana, already feeling defensive, snapped back, “I already apologized! What more do you want?”

Even Bianca frowned, feeling that Noreen was deliberately making things difficult. Was she targeting her?
