Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 1055

The commotion they made at the entrance didn't reach Noreen's side, but it certainly alerted Crystal's party.

After ending the call with Jasmine, Crystal had returned to the ballroom with a cold face, completely devoid of any festive spirit.

When people tried to talk to her, she was entirely distracted.

Even her parents could tell she was in a terrible mood.

Nancy Chelsea stayed glued to her side, trying to comfort her.

But Crystal remained lethargic.

Then, someone mentioned hearing a loud argument outside in the hall.

Crystal immediately perked up. "Where's the argument?"

"Just outside the ballroom across the hall. Probably some guests from that party. They're going at it pretty intensely, but I just walked past, so I didn't catch what it was about."

Crystal was instantly energized.

Was the drama finally starting at Noreen's party?

A show to watch?

She grabbed Nancy's arm. "Mom, let's go check it out."

"But you have guests here."

"It's fine, they're all close friends." She even turned and invited her usual circle of socialites to come watch the spectacle.

In elite circles, gossip spread faster than the evening news. If things went sideways, Noreen would be the laughingstock of their entire social set.

When Crystal and her entourage arrived at the lobby, Carman was trying to pull Jasmine away.

He didn't want a scene here.

Not because he feared embarrassment, but because he didn't want to cause trouble for Noreen.

It was a big day, and ruining someone else's celebration was out of line.
