Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 482

Bianca's expression grew even darker. After Wade's intervention, Seth had to arrange for Yvonne to be admitted to a standard room. Publicly put in their place by Wade, neither mother nor daughter looked pleased.

Noreen was oblivious to all this until later that afternoon when Claire, having just woken up, came to the hospital to find her. She'd gotten all the gossip from the nurses.

"You missed such a huge scene?" Claire exclaimed, practically bouncing with regret. After hearing Claire's animated retelling, Noreen had to admit she was sorry she'd missed it too.

"Well, it looks like that jerk Seth is truly, madly in love with bitch Bianca," Claire mused.

"How do you figure?" Noreen asked, taking a bite of watermelon.

"It's all over the internet, isn't it? There are two ways a man shows he loves you," Claire declared. "First, he spends money on you. Second, he solves your problems for you. Everything else is just an act!"

Noreen couldn't help but agree.

Claire took another bite of watermelon and smacked her lips. "So, when do you think jerk Seth is finally going to go bankrupt?"

…

While the atmosphere in Rosalind's suite was relaxed and comfortable, things were much more tense in Yvonne's room. After settling his future mother-in-law, Seth had rushed back to the office, leaving Bianca behind.

The mood between mother and daughter was sour. The stark contrast between Wade's warmth toward Noreen and his coldness toward Bianca had left a bitter taste in their mouths. Since returning to the country, Bianca had only seen Wade a few times, and on each occasion, he'd barely looked at her and had never once publicly acknowledged her as his son's partner. Yvonne had fared even worse; her previous attempts to meet Wade had all been flatly rejected. This time she'd finally met him, only to be dismissed.
