Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 371

It wasn’t an official ranking, of course, but it wasn’t far off the mark.

The three of them reined it in, though, dropping the topic.

The next morning, as soon as Noreen Gilmore arrived at the office, Sophia Cole presented her with celebratory cupcakes and a bouquet of fresh flowers.

“What are we celebrating?” Noreen asked.

“Your coronation as the richest woman in Rivercrest City, of course!”

“It’s just some gossip rag’s list.”

“A list is a list, and this is definitely worth celebrating! Now, try one of my handmade cupcakes!”

The cupcakes were exquisitely decorated, a clear testament to the effort Sophia had put in. Noreen picked up a fork and took a bite, her expression freezing for a moment.

The flavor… it was so familiar.

Noticing her pause, Sophia asked nervously, “What’s wrong? Is it not good?”

“No, not at all,” Noreen praised. “It’s delicious. Sweet, but not too rich.”

“Worth it!” Sophia beamed.

Between the delicious cupcakes and the beautiful flowers, Noreen’s mood was bright all morning. That afternoon, Vincent arrived in Rivercrest City, and she went to the airport to pick him up herself.
