Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 1025

So, even though she knew the front door passcode, she deliberately rang the bell to give Noreen time to hide the man.

Then she purposely went upstairs looking for the cat, leaving a perfect window for the guy to make his escape.

But just thinking about that man sneaking in and making himself at home every day while she was gone made Claire furious.

Seth was a total homewrecker!

Absolutely despicable!

Remembering how terribly he had treated Noreen in the past, Claire wanted to rip the bastard to pieces, stomp him into pulp, and feed him to stray dogs!

Yet, she knew Noreen was falling for him all over again.

As a loyal best friend, the only thing she could do was turn a blind eye, while taking every opportunity to ruthlessly mess with the guy.

She couldn't let him think Noreen was an easy catch.

If he won her back too effortlessly, what was stopping him from tossing her aside again?

So, she was going to crank up the difficulty level and act as the ultimate stumbling block in their romance.

It was time to see if Seth could survive the ultimate test.

He needed to realize this relationship was hard-won, so he would cherish it properly.

Claire took a quick shower and crawled into bed next to Noreen. The second she lay down, Sandra called.

It was the middle of the night, yet work was somehow calling.

Sandra excitedly revealed that a luxury apparel brand wanted her as their spokesperson.

It was the kind of top-tier brand she normally couldn't even get in a room with.

And the endorsement fee was double her usual rate!

Sandra was so thrilled she called immediately, demanding to know if Claire could fly to Northcrest tomorrow for a face-to-face meeting with the executives.

Claire remained silent for several seconds.

Since she had just showered, her mind was sharp enough to detect the glaring red flags.

She hadn't had a single project air in six months. Her public exposure was virtually zero, yet suddenly, multiple massive offers were rolling in.

And all of them were top-tier, premium resources.

When things are too good to be true, there's always a rat.

It only took a moment of thought for Claire to sniff out the conspiracy.

Realizing this was all Seth's master plan, Claire practically ground her teeth into dust!

That manipulative bastard!

Trying to lure the tiger from the mountain to get her out of town, huh?

Fine!
