Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 493

Even though it had been so long, she could still see the cold, indifferent look on Seth’s face as he’d said it. It was the first time she had experienced workplace harassment. The client was important, someone she couldn’t afford to offend. Terrified, her eyes red with unshed tears, she had gone to Seth for help. And that had been his response.

From that day on, she had learned to rely on herself to solve every problem she faced. The pain of that moment must have been so sharp that it had etched itself into her memory, clear enough that she could still recall the exact expression on his face.

If it had been Bianca in that situation, Seth’s reaction would have been entirely different. The comparison was a bitter pill to swallow.

Seeing her expression, Dylan’s face filled with concern. “Noreen, you’ll burn out if you always try to handle everything on your own.”

She knew she would get tired. But in this world, who could you truly depend on but yourself?

“Have you forgotten?” Dylan reminded her gently. “You have an ace in the hole. He might be able to help you with this.”

A thought sparked in Noreen’s mind. “You mean…”

Seeing her instant understanding, Dylan’s eyes lit up. “Yes. Exactly.”

The next day, Noreen showed up at the Joyner residence with Dr. Harrison in tow. But Halley Joyner, having somehow gotten word of their visit, had already made his escape. Noreen was left standing at an empty doorway. He wouldn’t even answer his phone. She sighed. How could a man his age be so afraid of the doctor?

At that moment, Halley was at a business dinner he would normally never attend. But to avoid Noreen, he had accepted a random invitation, only to find it was a dinner hosted by Seth.
