Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 476

After Noreen had exposed the 'truth', he had spent a long time trying to process it. But deep down, his loyalty still lay with Bianca.

A long time passed before Bianca finally replied.

"No."

"She and Seth did have an ambiguous relationship, but that's because she used some rather dirty tactics to get into his bed. Very few people know the truth, only those closest to Seth."

"As you know, Seth is the heir to the Harcourt Group. He's the highest level of society Noreen could ever hope to reach. That's why she clung to him for seven years. During that entire time, Seth never once publicly acknowledged her. It was always a one-sided obsession on her part."

So that was it.

Henry read and reread the message, a long sigh of relief escaping him. It seemed he had misunderstood his senior after all.

Noreen met with Padgett the next day to discuss the Centribo acquisition. She made her request clear: she hoped to streamline the process and complete the deal in the shortest time possible. Padgett promised he would help expedite it.

By the time they finished, it was lunchtime. Noreen took the opportunity to invite Padgett to eat with her. He accepted, and after a quick word with Landon, they left together.

On their way out, they ran into Hugh Summers, the CEO of NaviTech, who was on his way to a lunch meeting. He had also been at the government building on business. Seeing Noreen, he greeted her with a warm smile. "Ms. Gilmore, long time no see. Here on business?"

"Yes."

Since they had run into each other, Noreen extended an invitation. "Director Novak and I are just heading to lunch. Would you like to join us, Mr. Summers?"

Hugh waved his hands dismissively. "Oh no, I can't. I have a lunch engagement. Mr. Harcourt and Ms. Lowell are hosting, to discuss the high-temperature superconductivity project." He paused, a flicker of confusion on his face. "Huh, aren't you going, Ms. Gilmore?"
