Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 685

So, what her mentor had said was true. The situation was far more serious than anyone had imagined.

No wonder Seth had said what he did.

We won't meet again.

The words echoed in Noreen's mind.

A strange sense of melancholy washed over her.

To think that in the end, they would truly never cross paths again.

Dylan's wedding was set for the last day of the month. Noreen went with Wilbur.

As soon as they entered, they saw Dylan and Crystal greeting guests at the door.

They had been standing side by side, but when Crystal saw Noreen, she suddenly linked her arm through Dylan's, an intimate gesture.

Noreen didn't notice the detail. She and Wilbur walked over to offer their gifts and congratulations.

Crystal spoke to Noreen warmly. "I was worried you'd be too busy with work to come."

"I promised I'd be here, so of course I wouldn't break my word. Congratulations on your marriage." Noreen gave her a polite, brief hug.

Crystal seemed pleased. "Thank you. Dylan told me you've been single for over a year. Why don't you consider dating? You might meet your soulmate, maybe even have a whirlwind romance and get married like Seth and I did."

Before Noreen could reply, Wilbur cut in. "I have to disagree with that. Is love really that useful? A man would only slow down her money-making speed!"

Crystal's smile froze for a second.

She probably hadn't expected Wilbur to be so blunt.

But given his status, she didn't dare say much and could only manage an awkward laugh.

After a brief exchange, Noreen and Wilbur went into the banquet hall.

Dylan didn't make eye contact with Noreen the entire time.

Healy Naylor and Jude were the best men for the wedding.

They had been helping greet guests together, but when Healy saw Noreen, he dumped all his duties on Jude.
