Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 792

Madeline instantly panicked.

Her first reaction wasn't to apologize to Claire, the victim, but to explain herself to Felix. "Felix, I honestly didn't know anything about this. My agent must have acted on her own. It has nothing to do with me."

As she spoke, tears streamed down her face as if they were free, making her look pitifully wronged.

Felix stared at her for a few seconds before half-closing his eyes. "I understand. You go inside first. I'll handle things out here."

Hearing this, Madeline felt a sense of security and obediently went into the restroom.

Claire watched the entire scene with cold detachment.

Felix's gaze swept over her before landing on Noreen and Castle. "If Madeline really did this, I will bear the consequences on her behalf."

Claire's hands slowly clenched into fists. "In what capacity will you bear them for her? As her lover?"

Felix disliked the tone Claire was using. "You don't need to be so sarcastic. Instead of wasting your energy on that, you might as well state your terms. I'll do my best to meet them."

"Then sign the divorce papers!"

"Anything but divorce," Felix stressed.

"Then there's nothing to talk about. She needs to make a public apology and quit the entertainment industry!" The chill in Claire's eyes sharpened into a blade.

"You know how much Madeline loves her job. Why are you targeting her like this?" Felix's face was filled with disappointment. "When did you become so aggressive?"

Claire was genuinely speechless.

Could he really be this protective of Madeline?

Even with the evidence right in front of him, he still shielded her.

Claire was stunned for a long moment, then suddenly laughed, fighting back the searing pain in her chest. "I've always been the type to get even for the smallest slight. She must pay the price for this! She must!"

With that, she turned and left the room, unable to stand being in the same space as Felix any longer.

Not now, and not ever again.

Noreen hurried after her, worried something might happen to Claire.
