Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 762

Noreen seized the opportunity to break free from his grasp.

She calmly straightened her disheveled dress.

Outside, she heard footsteps again, and someone calling her name.

It was Castle.

The sound of his voice snapped Seth back to reality.

Noreen opened the door and left without a second glance at him.

The stinging pain from his bitten tongue and scratched skin finally registered, but it was nothing compared to the agony in his chest.

So this is what it felt like to be told you weren't loved anymore.

When Castle found Noreen, he noticed something was off.

And… the red mark on her shoulder.

He didn't ask any questions, simply took off his jacket and draped it over her. "Let's go home."

"What about the party?" Noreen was worried it would be rude to leave so abruptly.

"It's not important," Castle said.

He didn't even say goodbye to Jaxon, just escorted Noreen out.

Sue's fall into the pond brought the birthday banquet to an early close.

Jaxon's face was grim. Back in their room, he dismissed the servants.

Once they were alone, he finally let his anger show. "What was that little stunt you pulled? Have you forgotten what I told you?"

Sue's eyes were red and she looked utterly wronged. "I was just jealous! I can't stand to see another woman near him!"

Jaxon pointed a finger at her. "Look at yourself! What man would want you, acting like this?"

Sue's mother, Jaxon's current wife Brianna, knocked and entered. "Oh, stop scolding her. She's had a rough night."
