Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 106

Chapter 106

It was that moment—seeing it with his own eyes–that truly moved.

Carman.

Thanks to Noreen’s quick thinking and first aid, Mina was out of danger.

During Mina’s short stay in the hospital, Noreen stayed by her side the entire time, offering support and gentle guidance.

It was then that Carman finally realized the problem lay in his own approach to parenting.

Afterwards, Noreen personally took Mina to see a therapist and even

tutored her after school.

With Noreen’s help, Mina gradually began to heal. In the end, she was accepted into her dream high school.

Mina grew especially close to Noreen, confiding in her like an older sister she could trust with anything. Naturally, she learned a few things about Noreen’s private life.

One of those things was that Noreen had a boyfriend–her boss, no less.

As for Carman’s feelings, Mina saw right through him.

She teased him often, lamenting, “You’re too late–she’s spoken for. Guess it just wasn’t meant to be.”

But Carman was a true gentleman. Knowing Noreen already had someone she cared for, he kept his feelings to himself.

He exercised restraint, never once crossing the line.

It didn’t take much to piece things together. Carman quickly concluded that Noreen and Seth must have broken up.

In that instant, hope bloomed in his chest.

But she didn’t care about her head. She was too busy shouting into the phone, urging Carman on.

“What are you waiting for?”

“Go get her!”

“I want Noreen as my sister–in–law!”

Determined not to let down Carman’s trust, Noreen spent three sleepless nights crafting a flawless business proposal.

With her plan in hand, she eagerly began reaching out to the investors she’d met in the past.

She’d already steeled herself for rejection. After all, she had no resources, no network, and no powerful backers anymore.

She knew there was no guarantee anyone would give her the time of day.

But reality proved even harsher than she’d imagined.

Dozens of calls led nowhere.

Still, Noreen refused to give up. She switched tactics–visiting potential investors in person, proposal in tow, pitching her vision door to door.

After several days, exhaustion set in. Her mind was numb, her legs felt like lead, and she’d drunk so much lukewarm office coffee she felt sick.

She kept telling herself it was normal for things to be tough at the start. Starting a business was never easy.

Stay calm. Try again.

After grabbing a quick bite on the street to keep herself going, she
