Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 1133

Jennifer was unaware of the bitter history between Crystal, Gia, and Noreen. Assuming they were just Healy's friends, she politely greeted them.

Crystal was incredibly arrogant, giving a stiff nod before taking a seat.

Gia was slightly more polite, greeting Jennifer back, but she completely ignored Noreen and Claire sitting right beside her.

Naturally, Noreen and Claire paid them no mind either, continuing their own conversation.

The private room was spacious, with plenty of seating.

But people naturally gravitated toward those they got along with.

As a result, the seating arrangement became incredibly awkward once everyone settled down.

Noreen, Claire, Jennifer, and Seth all sat together in one section.

Healy and Gia sat in another.

Crystal obviously wanted to sit next to Dylan, making a beeline for the empty spot beside him.

But right as she was about to speak, Dylan stood up with his glass and walked over to talk to Noreen.

It was just standard small talk.

But after finishing his greetings, he casually took a seat on their side of the room.

This left Crystal sitting completely alone, her face turning an ugly shade of pale.

Eventually, Gia took pity on her and went over to keep her company.

As if to slap her in the face, the moment Gia sat down, Dylan stood up again and moved to sit next to Healy.

His desire to avoid them was so glaringly obvious that even Jennifer, an outsider, noticed it.

However, since it was someone else's private drama, Jennifer didn't pry. Instead, she shifted the conversation to Winrich's spectacular market comeback, praising Noreen endlessly.

Her tone was filled with genuine admiration and respect.

Even Jude chimed in. "When it comes to pure business acumen, there are only two people I look up to: Seth, and Noreen."

Dylan agreed. "My junior sister has been brilliant since she was a kid. Back then, our mentor had to practically beg her to become his student, whereas the rest of us had to beg him to take us in."

Hearing him shower Noreen with such unreserved praise made Crystal's eyes turn icy.
