Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 673

"He hasn't been feeling well these past few days. If you can, go see him more often."

"My dad... I'm counting on you."

Before, she hadn't understood why Seth kept asking her to take care of Wade.

The first time Seth had entrusted Wade to her was on the eve of his engagement to Bianca.

At the time, Noreen had mistakenly thought he was worried Wade wouldn't accept his engagement to Bianca, so he asked her to keep an eye on him.

She had felt it was unfair to Wade then, his own son choosing love over family.

The second time he asked, she had grown suspicious.

She had even called Wade specifically to check on him.

Wade had explained that he had the flu and it was nothing serious, so she hadn't thought much more of it.

Who would have ever suspected this?

She had been with Seth for seven years and thought she knew him well.

Even she hadn't imagined he would end up in this situation.

It was only now that Noreen realized something was wrong.

Could it be that Seth knew something was going to happen even before he decided to get engaged to Bianca, which was why he repeatedly entrusted Wade to her?

But if he had anticipated his own downfall, why did he insist on walking right into it?

Noreen had no way of knowing the truth.

After all, she couldn't see Seth in person to ask him.

Noreen consulted her company's legal department about the situation.

They all clearly informed her that if a detained person explicitly refuses visitation, it's generally impossible to see them.

Without much hope, Noreen applied for a visit anyway, making sure to have the police relay that it was she, Noreen, who wanted to see him.

But the police's response was the same: he refused to see anyone.

Noreen felt a headache coming on.

The next day, she again made time to visit Wade.

Jude rubbed his nose, his mood sinking. "It's only recently that I've realized... I don't think I know Seth at all."

Noreen didn't respond to that.

Because she was discovering that she couldn't figure Seth out either.

Noreen stood in the cold wind for a long time, her mind clearing slightly. She suddenly remembered that Seth had once tried to hand her a business card.

He had said that if she ever ran into any difficult problems, she could contact this person.

She had refused at the time.

But as he held out the card, she had glanced at the name and phone number on it.

Luckily, she was blessed with a good memory. That single glance was enough to remember the number.

Noreen quickly dialed the number. The person on the other end answered promptly.

It sounded like a middle-aged man's voice, and he must have had Noreen's number saved.

When he answered, he addressed her naturally, "Miss Gilmore, have you encountered a difficult problem?"
