Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 841

"What? Are you telling me you and Seth fooled around in his car all night?!"

On the other end of the line, Claire practically exploded.

Her shriek was so piercing it almost shattered Noreen's eardrum through the speaker.

Noreen reflexively held the phone away from her head. Once the squealing died down, she muttered, "You really should have taken up opera as a kid."

"Don't change the subject!" Claire demanded. "Spill it! What happened? How did you end up sleeping with that jerk Seth again?"

"We didn't sleep together..."

"Oh, so hooking up in a car doesn't count as sleeping together now?"

"...We didn't go all the way."

Claire went dead silent for a second before letting out an even louder scream. "I knew it! That jerk is totally useless! He's impotent, hahaha! He can't get it up!"

Noreen pinched the bridge of her nose, suddenly regretting telling Claire anything at all.

She may have been drunk last night, but she still had feeling in her body. She knew perfectly well whether Seth could perform or not...

Still, since Claire was distracted and no longer prying for gritty details, Noreen opted to keep her mouth shut.

Once Claire finished laughing, she tried to console her. "Look, it's no big deal. You just made a mistake any woman in the world would make. Totally understandable."

"It's mostly because you haven't been with a guy in ages. Sleep around a little more, and you'll get over him."

Noreen was utterly speechless.

What a blessing it was to have a best friend like this.

"What about you? How are things lately?" Noreen asked, shifting the focus.

"Same old, same old," Claire replied, sounding bored. "Just waiting for this mandatory waiting period to end so I can finally get my divorce."

"Has Felix been keeping out of your hair?" That was what Noreen was most worried about.

"He's been too busy throwing money at his little mistress to bother with me," Claire scoffed.

Honestly, Claire kind of admired Madeline's sheer audacity. After the scandal broke, the woman had actually stood in front of reporters, crying crocodile tears, claiming the video was a malicious AI deepfake, and had even marched into a police station to file a report.

She'd poured every ounce of her limited acting skills into that performance. It was a masterclass in playing the victim.
