Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 1230

Before Claire could fully process what was happening, Wilbur bypassed her and strolled confidently into her room, leaving her standing in the doorway in utter bewilderment.

Did he think this was his room?

"I heard you got hurt today," Wilbur said, taking a seat on the sofa. He leisurely untied the ribbon on the bakery box, asking the question as if they were just making polite conversation.

He heard?

Heard from who?

It had to be Rowan.

After blowing off training for days, Rowan had magically shown up today.

News like this didn't travel that fast on its own. Plus, Rowan had spent the entire morning loudly bragging to anyone who would listen about "Mr. Prescott this" and "Mr. Prescott that."

She was desperately making sure the entire cast knew she had hooked the billionaire investor.

Listening to her brag had driven Claire completely insane, which was exactly why she lost her focus and fell off the damn horse.

In a roundabout way, Wilbur was the reason she got hurt in the first place!

Hearing the culprit casually checking in on her sparked a flare of irritation. "Thanks to you, I'm still breathing," she snapped.

Wilbur raised an eyebrow, a distinct look of amusement dancing in his dark eyes. "Shouldn't you be thanking me properly then?"

Claire glared at him, absolutely fuming.

He was actually taking credit for her surviving?!

The audacity of this man!

Deciding he wasn't worth the breath, she glanced at the box.

It was a Cranberry-flavored cake—her absolute favorite.

It looked like a brand-new recipe from the shop, and it smelled heavenly.

Whatever. For the sake of the cake, she would let his arrogance slide.

She sat down, picked up the silver fork, and took a bite. It was spectacular, instantly washing away the bitter frustration of her horrible day.

Wilbur showed zero signs of leaving. He picked up her medical chart from the coffee table and casually flipped through it.

Claire scowled. The man had absolutely no concept of personal boundaries.
