Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 278

After Noreen ended the call, she strode straight toward the two women.

There was something about her presence that immediately deflated Lillian’s earlier bravado.

“So when I asked you to apologize before, why didn’t you shout so loud then?” There was a steely edge to Noreen’s tone that could be downright intimidating.

Lillian, who had only dared to act tough with Bianca backing her up, shrank under Noreen’s glare, biting her lip and not daring to utter a word.

After all, Noreen still had the video of her apology. If Noreen decided to make it public, how could Lillian ever show her face again?

With no other option, she glanced desperately at Bianca for help.

Bianca squeezed her arm and said quietly, “Come on, don’t make a scene.”

She was here on Seth’s behalf for the summit, and the last thing she needed was a scandal that would cause trouble for him.

Staying under the radar was the smarter move.

Bianca led Lillian away, avoiding a direct confrontation with Noreen.

Across the room, Henry seemed to notice the commotion, though from his distance he couldn’t make out exactly what was happening.

Assuming Bianca was in some kind of trouble, he quickly approached her. “Bianca, do you need any help?”

She shook her head. “No, it’s nothing. Just someone who’s a bit of a headache. Best to just ignore her.”

Henry shot a glance in Noreen’s direction.

There was a hint of warning in his eyes.

“Come on, the meeting’s about to start.” He gave Noreen a pointed look, then turned back to Bianca with a gentle invitation.

“Alright.”

The seating for the conference had been arranged by the staff in advance. Naturally, the top local companies were placed in the front row.

Bianca, representing Aurelion Group, had a seat reserved in the very first row.

Noreen and Carman were assigned to the second row.
