Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 472

Bianca could understand her mother's anxiety because she had felt it herself.

Just the other day, when Noreen had come to Ascendancy Group for that meeting, Seth had praised her so highly that Bianca had felt a flicker of insecurity for the first time. She had always looked down on Noreen, dismissing her for her lack of education and humble origins. But after losing to her several times, she couldn't help but feel disheartened. Then, finding out Noreen had also been accepted to WT Business School had sent a jolt of panic through her.

The real alarm bells went off when she learned Noreen was preparing InnoCore for its IPO. Only then did Bianca realize that Noreen's success might not be luck after all. She might actually be capable.

That was when the insecurity took root, the fear that Seth might be drawn to Noreen again. After all, he had looked at Noreen with undisguised admiration in front of her on several occasions.

But that very afternoon, Seth had taken her to a dinner, introducing her to business tycoons and financial giants, and launching a new, even bigger project for her. That's when she realized the depth of his feelings for her was far greater than she had imagined.

Jude had once said that Seth had loved her for seven years. She hadn't believed it at the time. In the past, Seth had never been particularly warm towards her; his gaze had always been cool and distant. It was only about a year ago that he had started to take the initiative. Looking back, that coincided perfectly with the rumors of her and Dylan's breakup.

So, Seth had been cold to her before because she was with Dylan. The moment he heard their relationship was over, he had appeared. It all lined up with what Jude had said: he had waited for her for six years.

In Seth's heart, she was special.

As for his feelings for Noreen, it was probably just professional admiration, nothing more. If he had loved Noreen, he had seven years to do something about it.
