Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 618

Jude saw her message immediately.

He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what.

Even though Bianca's words were full of confidence, Jude still felt a deep sense of unease.

It was a kind of psychological scar, worn down by repeated failures.

From SkyMind to the Port Redevelopment Project, and then to Aetheria.

Every time, he had followed Bianca and taken a major fall.

He had no confidence left.

A violent coughing fit from the hospital room pulled Jude back from his wandering thoughts.

In the end, he didn't reply. He silently put his phone away and pushed the door open to the room.

"Dad, have some warm water," Jude said, pouring a glass for Seymour.

But Seymour refused to drink. After another bout of coughing, he gasped for air and asked, "How did it go? Did she agree to let us pull out?"

Jude remained silent.

Seymour slammed his hand against the bed rail in frustration. "It's over! It's all over!"

He was too agitated. After yelling twice, he began to cough violently again, struggling for breath.

His face turned pale.

Terrified, Jude quickly pressed the call button for a nurse.

When Noreen landed in Glenhaven City, a driver arranged by Castle was already waiting for her at the arrivals gate.

She had specifically told Castle not to go to the trouble of arranging a car for her, but he had done it anyway.

It felt like such an imposition.

As Noreen, Colby, and Sophia were driven away from the airport, their car passed in front of Bianca.

Bianca maintained a composed expression, but her eyes were cold.

Lillian saw that Noreen not only had a private car waiting but that it was a luxury vehicle, and she was consumed with jealousy. "How does Noreen know people even in Glenhaven City?"
