Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 635

"Castle saved you?" Sophia Cole was surprised. "That's a huge favor to owe someone!"

Sophia handed Noreen a bowl of soup. "Wait a minute. You were kidnapped by that crazy woman because of him. He *should* have saved you! No favor owed!"

"It's not that black and white," Noreen said, not having thought of it that way.

"It's my fault. I should have stayed with you," Sophia said, blaming herself.

"It was impossible to predict. How could you blame yourself?"

No one could have anticipated what Sue would do. The thing was, she and Sue had only met once before.

No one ever knows whether tomorrow will bring fortune or disaster.

Seeing Sophia still downcast, Noreen had to console her. "We came on this trip to relax. If we don't have fun now, when will we?"

Sophia felt a little better and mused, "I guess we need to hire a female bodyguard. A male one isn't always convenient."

Since it was a cruise, Noreen might have wanted to go swimming. It would have been inappropriate for Colby, a man, to follow her, which is how the incident happened in the first place.

Seeing that she couldn't talk Sophia out of it, Noreen let it go.

"But I heard that madwoman was seriously injured. Four broken ribs," Sophia said, relaying a rumor she'd heard.

Noreen was puzzled. "How did that happen?"

Sue had been perfectly fine before she was thrown into the sea.

Sophia shook her head. "I don't know. I heard someone kicked her."

"Castle?" Noreen was taken aback. "That doesn't seem like him."

"I know, right? Mr. Joyner seems so gentle and refined. And that woman is his sister-in-law. Would he really be that ruthless?"

They were just speculating based on their own impressions; the truth remained a mystery.
