Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 825

It was the hospital emergency room all over again. But this time, Noreen's anxiety was a thousand times worse, her worry a crushing weight. Her heart felt like it was being squeezed in a vise, making it hard to breathe.

Her clothes were stained with blood. Seth's blood.

Noreen couldn't believe Seth had been there. She couldn't believe that at the critical moment, he had recklessly thrown his car in front of hers, shielding her from the vehicle that was meant to kill her.

After taking a call, Dariel walked back to Noreen, his expression grim. He relayed the information he had just received.

"The person who hit you was Brianna, Sue's mother. After Mr. Joyner's accident, Sage Joyner had Sue forcibly committed to a psychiatric hospital owned by the Joyner family. He also permanently banned the Caldwell family from visiting. On top of that, the Joyner Group pulled all its investments from the Caldwell family, causing several of their projects to be suspended."

"Jaxon had previously taken out a lot of private loans using the Joyner Group's name. When news of the divestment spread, the creditors all came demanding repayment. Unable to handle the pressure, Jaxon tried to threaten them by pretending to jump off a building, but he accidentally slipped and fell to his death. Brianna couldn't cope with the series of devastating blows and had a breakdown."

The car Noreen had been in belonged to Sage Joyner. Brianna had mistakenly assumed Sage was inside, which prompted her desperate act.

Dariel added, "The doctors just announced that Brianna was pronounced dead from her injuries."

Noreen was stunned by the news, but she felt no sympathy. In this whole tragic affair, none of the three members of the Caldwell family were innocent. The only truly innocent party was Seth, who was still in the emergency room.

Noreen had no idea how long she had been waiting. She couldn't tear her eyes from the operating room doors, watching helplessly as nurses and doctors rushed in and out.
