Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 1029

Crystal immediately looked disgusted. "That's incredibly unlucky."

Jasmine chimed in agreement. "Isn't it? But..."

She paused dramatically, her smile dripping with sarcasm. "Do you honestly think anyone is going to show up to her little party?"

Crystal pretended to think about it seriously before answering, "I'm afraid it's going to be a ghost town. Utterly deserted."

Jasmine completely agreed, her grin growing even more smug.

"It would be such a shame to miss a spectacle like that," Crystal mused, a cruel glint flashing in her eyes.

Jasmine asked curiously, "Don't tell me you're actually planning to attend her party?"

"Does that sound like something I would do?"

Crystal released Jasmine's arm, pulling out her phone to dial her father's number.

She used her sweetest, most spoiled voice on her father. "Daddy, I want to host my birthday party in Rivercrest City this year. Will you all fly out here for it?"

"The venue? The InterContinental Hotel."

If you wanted to watch a trainwreck, you had to see it up close.

Having grown up navigating the cutthroat social circles of the elite, Crystal knew the rules of the game intimately.

The moment Noreen went bankrupt, she would be the very first casualty thrown overboard to feed the sharks on the luxury cruise liner of high society.

She would fall straight from her golden pedestal, shattering into a million pieces, and absolutely no one would care enough to listen for the echo.

How could she ever miss a show like that?

...

Over the next two days, Claire took every single opportunity to glue herself to Noreen.

It was either shopping or spa days.

She monopolized every free second outside of Noreen's office hours, not even sparing her daily commute.

Noreen deliberately woke up an hour early just to avoid Claire.

Only to walk out of her bedroom and find Claire sitting in the living room, grinning from ear to ear.

"I suddenly realized I'm a shareholder at Winrich too, so I should really start contributing to the company."

Claire dangled a set of car keys. "So, I'm going to be your personal chauffeur today! I'll drive you to and from work!"
