Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 150

He clenched his jaw in frustration. "One day, I'll make her pay for every last bit of this!"

With that, he crushed the empty water bottle in his hand, the plastic collapsing with a sharp crack—an obvious attempt to vent his anger.

Bianca watched his reaction, a silent, amused smile tugging at her lips.

Once Jude had calmed down, he remembered there was something important he needed to discuss with her.

"Bianca, I dug up some inside information on that company, InnoCore!"

Bianca's interest was instantly piqued. "What did you find out?"

"The company behind this new smart software is based in Rivercrest City. It's actually a pretty small operation, only about half a million in starting capital. Looks like they haven't attracted much investment yet, so no one in Rivercrest has really noticed them."

"If they're in Rivercrest, that's perfect," Bianca replied, clearly pleased by the news.

Jude nodded in agreement. "There's a product showcase coming up, right? Let's figure out a way to secure a deal with them directly!"

"Absolutely." Bianca was confident, her tone unwavering.

After all, with Aurelion Capital and the Harcourt Group backing her—and Seth's strong support—she had every advantage she needed.

An opportunity like this? Everyone wanted a piece of it.

No way they'd let it slip through their fingers.

"Just promise me one thing—let me be part of this. If I don't produce some real results soon, my dad's going to kick me out of the house!"

Bianca couldn't help but laugh. "Deal."

Hearing her agree, Jude finally relaxed. For the first time in a long while, he felt like he was about to redeem himself—thanks to Bianca bringing him into the investment. This time, he was sure he'd come out on top.

Noreen, on the other hand, was completely unaffected by Jude's drama. Ever since she'd made a clean break with Seth, she realized that nothing and no one from his world could shake her anymore.

Not even Seth himself could ruffle her calm.
