Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 781

After the children finished giving their gifts, more people came over to offer toasts to Noreen.

Noreen spotted a familiar face.

The man's expression was visibly uncomfortable as he spoke to her.

"Ms. Gilmore, it's been a long time."

"Indeed it has, Mr. Chase," Noreen replied, maintaining a polite front.

She remembered Perry Chase because she had once suffered at his hands.

Back then, she was still Seth Harcourt's secretary.

Perry, a prominent Hong Kong businessman, had come to Rivercrest City for a government-led investment project, bringing massive resources with him.

Noreen had repeatedly lobbied Perry to secure some of those resources for Aurelion Group.

Noticing Noreen's beauty, Perry got some crooked ideas and decided he wanted to force himself on her.

He had dropped hints, but Noreen either didn't understand or was too naive to respond.

So he decided to take matters into his own hands. During a business dinner, he planned to assault her.

She was just a lowly secretary; she wouldn't dare make a fuss after being taken advantage of. At worst, he could just throw some money at her to shut her up. If he liked her, he could keep her around for a while and then discard her when he got bored.

Perry was an old hand at this.

He had done it many times before and had never faced any consequences.

In fact, some bosses would willingly send women to his bed in exchange for an investment.

But he never expected Noreen to be so fierce. She refused to submit and, disregarding the danger, jumped out of a third-story window to escape.

Worried she would go to the police, Perry immediately contacted her boss. Seth.

It became the biggest regret of his life.

He thought Seth would side with him for the sake of the investment deal, persuading Noreen to let the matter go.

He had used this tactic before on unwilling women. It never failed.

After all, no one says no to money.
