Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 793

Before getting into the car, Felix sent a text to Claire.

He wasn't sure if she had blocked his number again.

Claire was currently at a dessert shop with Noreen.

It was a habit of hers. Whenever she was in a bad mood, she craved something sweet.

So, Noreen had specifically brought her here.

As she was on her third dessert, her phone buzzed.

It was a text from Felix.

Seeing the number, Claire realized she had forgotten to block him again.

Before opening it, she said to Noreen, "A message from that jerk Quigley. I wonder what kind of nonsense he's spouting now?"

She glanced at it after opening it. "Yep, total nonsense!"

"What did he say?" Noreen asked.

Claire read it aloud, "'Madeline has never been the problem between us. If you're willing, I can immediately transfer five percent of Quigley Group's shares to your name. Let's drop the topic of divorce for good, and neither of us will mention it again.'"

Noreen snorted. "Definitely nonsense."

Five percent of the company was a huge amount, enough to buy off many people.

But he really didn't understand Claire at all.

He understood her even less than Noreen did.

Claire's ideal life had always been to live carefree, with just enough money to get by.

What he thought was a tempting offer was worthless in her eyes.

Claire put down her dessert spoon, quickly typed out a reply, and sent it to Felix.

Then, in one smooth motion, she blocked his number again.

Finally, she locked her phone and went back to peacefully eating her dessert.

Meanwhile, the car had just started moving when Felix received Claire's reply.

[If you're sick, get help. If you're not, drop dead. Stop bothering me!]

Madeline felt a wave of relief and a faint, almost imperceptible smile touched her lips.

Her cousin was still as clueless about men as ever.

What man would like a temper like that?

By acting this way, she was only pushing Felix further away.

Of course, that was exactly what Madeline wanted to see. It would make it easier for her to move in.

"Felix, please don't be angry with my cousin. She's always been tactless, it gave my dad a lot of headaches. She was constantly getting her parents called into school. Later, when my dad tried to be a bit stricter with her, she started to hate him and told everyone he was mean to her. She's always been a handful."

"Ultimately, it's my dad's fault for not raising her well enough."

Felix frowned. "It's her personality. You all did your best."

"It seems my cousin is really angry this time. Why don't you stay in Glenhaven City to console her? I can go back by myself," Madeline said, feigning thoughtfulness.

Just as she finished speaking, Genesis, who was in the front seat, spoke up anxiously, "But in Northcrest, there are a lot of reporters waiting at the airport. If Mr. Quigley isn't there, they'll definitely give you a hard time."
