Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 1089

The true love she had been so proud of was nothing but a pathetic lie she'd told herself.

Leaning against the cold door, Gia slid slowly to the floor, as if every ounce of strength had been drained from her body.

Collapsing onto the hardwood, she pressed her hands hard over her face, desperately trying to bury the agonizing humiliation and the tears streaming down her cheeks.

In the stifling silence, her phone suddenly began vibrating furiously in her pocket.

The name "Jason" flashed on the screen, piercing through the darkness.

Forcing back her emotions, Gia answered the call. "My brother..."

"I'm flying to Rivercrest City tonight. Be ready."

Jason's voice was low and urgent, carrying an undeniable command. "First thing tomorrow morning, you and I are going to Winrich to negotiate the partnership with Noreen."

Gia shot up from the floor, a wave of dizziness hitting her from moving too fast.

Her hand trembled uncontrollably around the phone, her voice filled with absolute shock. "You're coming to negotiate personally?"

"I'm not leaving this to chance. I have to handle this myself," Jason said, his tone heavier than ever. "If we're too late, we'll lose our window."

With that, the call abruptly ended.

Listening to the cold dial tone, Gia felt her heart plummet into a bottomless abyss, unable to find its footing.

A massive wave of panic instantly seized her.

Only now did she realize just how badly she had screwed up.

She had let her jealousy drive her to deliberately provoke Noreen.

Looking back, it was the stupidest thing she could have done!

If Noreen held a grudge and used this as a reason to reject the deal with Solara Energy...

The consequences would be catastrophic!

In the ruthless, ever-changing business world, losing this crucial leverage would destroy her credibility within the company.

If that happened, she wouldn't just be dealing with failure.

She would likely be kicked out of the corporation without a second thought, reduced to nothing more than a useless joke.
