Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 791

Seeing the clear red handprint on Felix's face, Madeline charged at Claire angrily. "What right do you have to hit Felix? If you have a problem with me, come at me! Felix is innocent!"

Her tone was that of a wife fiercely defending her husband.

But before she could get close to Claire, Noreen shoved her away.

Madeline was intimidated by Noreen. After all, with Noreen's current status, crushing her would be as easy as squashing an ant.

In the end, all she could do was turn back to Felix with tear-filled eyes and apologize. "Felix, I'm so sorry. I've dragged you into this."

Felix once again shielded her behind him. "This has nothing to do with you. You did nothing wrong. She's the one with no manners."

As he said this, he shot Claire a look of utter coldness, as if he was profoundly disappointed in her.

The heat in the room was cranked up high, but Claire felt a chill seep into her bones.

She stared at Felix, unable to speak for a long time.

Looking at Claire in that moment, Noreen felt as if she were seeing a ghost of her former self.

She stepped forward and squeezed Claire's icy hand.

Claire knew what she meant and managed a faint smile.

But it was a desolate, heartbreaking smile.

More people arrived at the door. It was Castle and Katy, flanked by the two bodyguards who were always with Castle.
