Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 1008

It broke Sandra's heart to see her like this.

She had kept it a secret entirely to spare Claire this exact pain.

But at least she had finally broken free.

Sandra was genuinely thrilled for her future.

"It's over now. You're working with Director Zachariah, and so many more doors are going to open for you!"

"Everything is going to get better."

"Yeah..."

Everything would be fine, as long as she stayed as far away from Felix as possible.

Meanwhile, at The Sovereign Club.

Felix had downed an excessive amount of alcohol.

When the bottles were empty, he flagged down a server for more.

Shawn Selwyn tried to reason with him. "Drinking yourself to death isn't going to change anything. You're the one who signed the papers."

"We just filed the application. The divorce isn't finalized yet."

As long as the final certificate hadn't been printed, she was still his wife.

Shawn shook his head in disbelief. "But in her mind, it's already over. What's the point of dragging this out? Claire is incredible. She's not going to have any shortage of guys lining up for her. By the time you sober up and realize what you've done, it'll be too late."

Felix sat in silence for a long time before muttering with a cold, blank expression, "Whatever."

Shawn let out another heavy sigh.

"You'd better actually believe that, instead of just running your mouth while drowning your sorrows."

Before the waiter could return with more liquor, Felix's phone rang.

The moment he saw the caller ID, his face turned to ice, and he answered immediately.

After listening for barely two seconds, he shot up from the couch and sprinted for the door, completely forgetting his coat.
