Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 582

Hearing this, the reporters immediately turned, shoving their microphones in Yvonne's face. "Mrs. Lowell, hello, we're from the financial news channel. We'd like to ask you a few questions."

Yvonne heard "financial news channel" and remembered she had arranged for them herself.

She immediately stopped and nodded gracefully. "Of course."

"Aunt Yvonne!" Lillian tried to stop her.

But it was too late.

The reporters' questions were as sharp as ever. "Are you aware of your daughter's academic fraud?"

"What are your thoughts on your daughter committing academic fraud?"

"We've learned that your daughter has dozens of high-impact papers to her name. Does similar plagiarism exist in those works?"

The barrage of questions left Yvonne reeling.

Her smiling face instantly turned grim. "I don't know what you're talking about!"

She shoved the microphones aside and pushed her way into the hospital room.

The women who had been following her all stopped in their tracks.

They exchanged glances, stunned by the sudden turn of events.

So… Bianca's prestigious degree was fake?

My God!

Mrs. Chase was the first to react. "I just remembered, I have to pick up my youngest son from school. I have to go."

The others quickly made their own excuses and scattered.

Within five minutes, the news of Bianca's academic fraud had spread throughout their social circle.

Yvonne was trembling with rage. "What in the world is going on?"

Bianca's face was pale.

She had genuinely fainted; she wasn't faking it to escape the situation.

Even now, her hands were still shaking.

Faced with Yvonne's questioning, she remained silent.

She never imagined she would be brought down by Noreen!

She couldn't even bear to think about how people would look at her now.

How would Seth see her?

Would he call off the wedding?

"Can PerseTech still have a successful IPO?"

"Will Seth break up with Bianca?"

Even Claire came to her to gossip about it.

"I'll bet you ten bucks that jerk Seth will definitely break up with Bitch Bianca!"

Claire's reasoning was simple: "Men are practical. Now that Bianca is no longer useful to him, why would he waste any more resources on her? They're definitely breaking up!"

Noreen paused, the pen in her hand hovering over a document. "Not necessarily."

After all, she knew firsthand just how powerful a first love could be.

Noreen worked a little late that evening before heading home.

As they pulled into her neighborhood, Colby said, "It's Mr. Harcourt."

Noreen looked up from her documents, her eyes narrowing as she peered ahead.

Seth was standing under a streetlight.

The dim light cast shadows across his strong brow, making his expression unreadable.

It was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
