Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 730

So that was it. His grandmother was in town, and he couldn't face her without his wife. That’s why he'd come looking for her.

“The doctor said Grandma’s blood pressure has been high the last couple of days, so you’d better not make a scene,” Felix added as a helpful reminder. “Keep up.”

With that, he walked off.

Claire fumed for a moment but ultimately followed him.

For no other reason.

She was only going with him for Grandma’s sake.

Noreen waited in the private room for a short while before receiving a text from Claire.

“Babe, I’m not coming back to your place tonight. Don’t worry about me. I’ll come groveling tomorrow.”

Noreen thought for a moment and replied, “Stay safe.”

She couldn’t figure out how Claire had gotten involved with the Quigley family of Northcrest, let alone how she was married to Felix, the head of the family.

It was all too surreal.

With Claire gone, Noreen had to keep Jennifer company and continue drinking.

She hadn’t been to many parties in recent years, and her tolerance for alcohol was shot.

Even Jennifer noticed and teased her, “You used to claim you could drink anyone under the table. I was so envious of your tolerance back then. You know, for people in our line of work, being able to hold your liquor is a really useful skill.”

Noreen had to agree.

A high tolerance for alcohol was definitely an asset during business engagements.

In some circles, there was even an unspoken rule that a deal could be sealed over a few drinks.

“I’ve been so focused on my studies these past few years and haven’t been managing projects myself. With fewer client dinners, my tolerance has naturally gone down.”

At the same time, Noreen advised Jennifer, “While being able to drink is a soft skill in business, you have to take care of your health. I ruined my stomach lining back in the day.”

Jennifer sighed. “I know you’re right, but when you’re in the business world, can anyone truly stay unscathed?”

Then she asked curiously, “So you’re saying you trained yourself to have a high tolerance? Can you share your methods? I could teach my team.”

Methods…
