Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 648

Forrest was at his wit's end, with no idea where to even begin. Amidst the chaos, the doorbell rang. The housekeeper hurried to answer it. A moment later, she returned, her face as white as a sheet. Behind her were four uniformed law enforcement officers.

"We're looking for Yvonne. Is she here?"

…

It wasn't until the next day, while she was at a government office, that Noreen learned what had happened to the Lowell family. Padgett Novak told her that Forrest had been suspended and was currently writing a formal report for his superiors and the disciplinary committee.

That things had escalated to this point was rather sobering. The entire financial circle was buzzing about it. Everyone was wondering how Seth would cut ties with the Lowells this time.

Claire, far away on her film set, was also following the drama, constantly refreshing the Aurelion Group's official website. But by noon, neither Aurelion Group nor Seth had released any statement. They hadn't cut ties, nor had they canceled the engagement.

The only thing that had happened was that Aurelion Group's stock had taken a severe hit, plummeting to an all-time low.

Claire, while deriding the Lowells as a family of criminals, asked Noreen, "Is jerk Seth really that pig-headed? Did Bianca's family save his life or something? Is he really going to go down with this ship?"

Noreen couldn't figure it out either.

Just as she was pondering this, Sophia announced a visitor. It was Jude Wilder.

Out of respect for Seymour Wilder, Noreen agreed to see Jude. It had only been half a month, but Jude had lost a significant amount of weight. His eyes were dull, and when he saw Noreen, he was timid and withdrawn, with none of his former arrogance.
