Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 687

Healy couldn't refute Noreen's accusation.

Years ago, after Seth had donated bone marrow for Rosalind, Noreen had sought Seth out to thank him.

Healy and Jude had been there, so they knew Noreen had offered herself to Seth.

They also knew that Seth had rejected her.

Growing up, their circle had seen countless women use any means necessary to climb the social ladder, so they automatically categorized Noreen as another social climber.

They had mocked her endlessly behind her back.

Later, Seth was drugged by someone else.

When Noreen heard, she rushed over immediately, intending to take him to the hospital. But the perpetrator had called the press.

Forced, Noreen had to stay at the hotel. She called both Jude and Healy for help, hoping they could find a way to discreetly get Seth out of there.

They did come.

But by the time they arrived, it was the next morning.

Noreen and Seth had already crossed a line.

Seth was still groggy from the drug's effects.

Noreen asked Jude and Healy to take Seth to the hospital for a check-up, telling them he had been drugged.

She herself, enduring the pain, rushed back to school.

Because of this, they both assumed Noreen was the one who had drugged him, and they looked down on her for it.

Healy wanted to apologize, but his throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton, tight and heavy.

It was too late.

Noreen didn't need it anymore.

He recognized this reality, and all that was left was regret.

Watching her walk away coldly, Healy's face burned.

It felt as if Noreen's slap had landed on his own cheek.

The incident had completely ruined Noreen's mood for the wedding.
