Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 920

It was a video of him showing off his abs perfectly synced to the beat of the background music.

Absolutely scorching.

If those were real, the guy's physique was utterly god-tier!

Just to be polite, Claire left a little comment.

[I'm not divorced yet, please don't do this to me.]

After commenting, she swiped away to watch other videos. When she remembered to check back on it a little later, she realized the creator had completely deleted the video.

Seriously, how petty could you get?

She hadn't even had the chance to analyze it properly!

Noreen didn't drink much that night. Mr. Naylor had made a point to announce early on that it was a casual evening and everyone should only drink at their own pace.

A few of his regular drinking buddies were utterly baffled by this sudden shift, playfully teasing him, asking if his wife had finally put him on a strict leash.

Mr. Naylor waved them off with a laugh. "Of course not. A friend specifically asked me to keep the drinking to a minimum tonight to look out for the ladies."

Noreen was the only woman in the room.

Instantly, all eyes turned to her in curiosity.

Normally, Noreen could handle these situations flawlessly, without batting an eye.

But this time, her cheeks inexplicably burned. She quickly picked up her glass and stated gracefully, "I appreciate the gentlemen looking out for me. I'll take a small sip, just to show my gratitude."

By the time the dinner ended, Claire had finally let her guard down entirely. She yawned wildly from the passenger seat of the car and declared, "Looks like he finally gave up!"

"Men truly only ever have a three-minute attention span!"

Sipping on her perfectly warm lemon water, Noreen shot Claire a wildly guilty sideways glance.

Three-minute attention span, huh?

Oblivious to the truth, Claire was still smugly celebrating her flawless victory as a bodyguard.

Little did she know, her supposedly impenetrable fortress had been deeply infiltrated by the 'enemy' days ago.

...

December 10th marked the Rivercrest University Centennial Gala.

As an honorary professor and distinguished alumna of Rivercrest University, Noreen was naturally invited to attend the ceremony.

By the time she arrived, Dylan Wilder was already seated.

Right next to her.
