Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 584

Bianca's condition was even worse than Forrest had described.

When Jude came in, she merely glanced at him before closing her eyes again.

He sat awkwardly for a while, unable to bring himself to talk about withdrawing his shares.

"Is Seth… coming today?" After a long silence, that was all Jude could manage to ask.

He figured if it was too difficult to ask Bianca, he would just talk to Seth.

Yvonne replied, "Bianca is sick, so the burden of PerseTech has fallen on Seth. He's been busy over there the last two days, so we told him not to worry about running back and forth."

"Oh, I see."

The atmosphere fell silent again for a long time before Jude found an excuse to leave.

As soon as he was out of the room, he called Seth.

When the call connected, he asked, "Seth, are you at PerseTech or Aurelion Group? I'll come find you."

"I'm out of the country."

Jude froze.

Didn't Yvonne say he was handling things at PerseTech?

Why was he abroad?

Just as he was about to ask more, he heard the sound of an auctioneer's gavel in the background.

The auctioneer announced, "Congratulations to Mr. Harcourt for winning the lot with a bid of eighty million."

The next second, the call was disconnected.

Jude was confused.

Seth was at another auction?

At a time like this, he was still in the mood to go shopping?

Back in the room.

After Jude left, Bianca sat up in bed.

Yvonne asked, "Did Seth message you?"

"No."

"No call either?"

"No."

Yvonne frowned. "What is he thinking?"

"What?!" Bianca shot up in bed.

Lana cried even harder. "The amount is so large, we just can't handle it. That's why we came to you."

"Yvonne, you have to save Spencer. He's the only male heir of the Laurent family," Lana sobbed, tears and snot running down her face.

Yvonne's face was ashen. "Where am I supposed to get three hundred million?"

Bianca was also furious. "How much money did he even take from Ascendancy Group?"

Lana stammered, "It wasn't that much, really. And most of it, he gave to you, Yvonne."

Bianca looked at Yvonne in disbelief.

Yvonne's face stiffened as she explained, "My dealings with the other wives in my social circle are expensive. Gifts, treating them to meals, buying new outfits… it all costs money…"

Bianca fell back onto the bed in despair. "Where am I supposed to find three hundred million?"

"Why don't you ask Seth? Otherwise, your cousin is really done for. If they press charges, he's looking at a minimum of ten years…"

Before Lana could finish, two voices cut her off at the same time.

"No!"

"No!"
