Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 1241

To make matters worse, Felix had completely blocked her on his phone and on WhatsApp.

She had no way of reaching him.

Even when she used burner phones, the second he heard her voice, Felix hung up without hesitation.

It was as if she were some kind of monster he needed to avoid at all costs.

She had even begged Secretary Lynwood for help. Usually, the secretary was always on her side, but this time, her pleas were met with total radio silence.

It wasn't until Madeline cornered her at her front door that Secretary Lynwood finally broke the news: Felix had already arranged for her to be sent abroad.

Her flight was scheduled for next week. She was told to start packing.

For Madeline, the news was a devastating blow.

She refused to just leave like this.

She was desperate to see Felix in person.

She knew perfectly well that if she just shed a few tears in front of him—if he just looked into these eyes of hers—his heart would soften.

But Shawn Selwyn remained completely unmoved, his demeanor as icy as ever. "I told you, he doesn't want to see you. Please stop harassing him."

"No!" Madeline refused to back down, shoving Shawn aside to throw herself at the door.

Shawn grabbed her wrist, his voice dropping to a dangerous warning. "I highly advise against doing that!"

"You should know exactly where your value lies, so I suggest you don't exhaust the last remaining shreds of it with him."

"Hasn't he already arranged for you to go abroad? Take the money and leave. Don't harbor any delusions. What isn't yours will never be yours."

"You're just a counterfeit."

With those final, cutting words, Shawn threw her hand aside as if she were something filthy.

He pulled out a pocket square and meticulously wiped his hands.

Madeline's face drained of all color.

A counterfeit...

Did Shawn know something?

Panic seized her chest.

Shawn turned and walked back into the VIP room, the heavy door clicking shut behind him.

Madeline didn't dare cause another scene.
