Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 755

"Exactly," Noreen typed back. "As long as you're alive, there's still meaning."

When she had first heard that Seth might face the death penalty, her mind had been a complete mess.

She could accept never seeing him again for the rest of their lives, but she had never imagined losing him to death.

No matter how much she hated him, she had never wished for that.

It was late at night when Seth's flight landed in Rivercrest City.

Jude retrieved the car and asked him if they were going straight to find Noreen.

Seth paused, then decided to call Sophia Cole first.

Sophia was bewildered when she answered the phone. "Ms. Gilmore isn't back in Rivercrest City. She went to Harborview City."

After a long silence, Seth finally mumbled, "I see."

Jude was still waiting for instructions when Seth got out of the car, his face grim.

"What's wrong? Aren't we going to see Noreen?"

"She flew to Harborview City."

Seth hadn't expected Claire to mislead him like that.

But ultimately, he had brought this on himself. He couldn't blame anyone else.

Having just left the airport, Seth turned around and went right back in to buy a ticket for the next flight to Harborview City.

The weather was beautiful on the day of Katy's competition. Noreen drove her to the venue herself.

She promised she would wait outside the entire time, guaranteeing she'd be the first person Katy saw when she came out.

Katy was ecstatic. It felt like a dream come true.

For years, she had traveled to competitions with only her nanny and bodyguard, unlike the other contestants who always had their families with them.

But now, things were different. She had family waiting for her too!

"When I win the prize money, I'll buy you something delicious!"

Noreen smiled and agreed.
