Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 614

But Noreen didn't care. If Bianca had nothing to hide, she'd have nothing to fear.

With these two bombshells, the subsequent speeches seemed dull and lackluster in comparison.

Wilbur was now messaging in a group chat, specifically tagging Henry. "So, this was your gift to your senior?"

Henry replied, "Yes."

Wilbur commented, "Interesting. Much more thoughtful than ours."

All they knew how to do was throw money around.

Henry stared at his screen, feeling a knot of tension in his stomach. He noticed Noreen was also looking at her phone, likely having seen the conversation. She glanced in his direction but said nothing in the group chat.

Her silence made Henry feel a bit uneasy.

Wilbur, probably bored, tagged Noreen. "Noreen, want to grab dinner later?"

"I have a meeting tonight. I only have an hour, so it would have to be something quick."

Wilbur wrote back, "You have a real knack for turning people down."

Henry chimed in, "I heard you invested in PerseTech. What were you thinking?"

Wilbur shot back, "What were you thinking when you invested?"

Henry was speechless.

Wilbur was a master at touching a sore spot.

He even blamed Henry, "Why'd you have to bring up PerseTech? See, now your senior's gone quiet. She's ignoring you!"

Henry remained silent.

As the conference was wrapping up, Noreen noticed that Seth's seat had been empty for a while.

When had he left?

After it ended, Bianca immediately went to find Wilbur, hoping to talk to him. Her main concern was that he might pull his investment after what had happened today.

That would be the final nail in the coffin.

"Sorry, Ms. Lowell, I have dinner plans with Noreen. No business talk for now," Wilbur said, his smile and gentlemanly demeanor unchanged.

Bianca was about to ask if he was free tomorrow.

But Wilbur called out loudly to Noreen, "Noreen, wait up! I'll walk with you."
