Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 719

The corridor outside the private room was quiet. No one was around.

Seth walked quickly.

Jude hurried after him, having to jog to keep up. "Seth, are you not feeling well from the drinks? Should we see a doctor?"

"No need."

He stopped abruptly, and Jude nearly crashed into him.

Seth turned to look at him. "Don't follow me."

"But…" Jude was clearly worried.

"I know what you're worried about. I don't have any of those ideas right now," Seth told him plainly.

Before Jude could ask why, he continued on his own.

"Noreen is giving seven lectures at Rivercrest University. I'll be attending them for the next few weeks."

"Don't bother me."

Jude was speechless.

Got it.

He nodded immediately. "Okay! But you just drank, so don't drive. I'll have a driver take you."

It was a perfect chance to find out where he lived.

But Seth bluntly refused.

"I'll call a ride myself."

With that, Seth turned and left, leaving Jude with only his somewhat cold back.

But this time, Jude wasn't as tense.

He wasn't worried that Seth would do anything extreme.

He could have some peace for a while!

…

Noreen's lectures were scheduled for Monday and Wednesday afternoons.

A prime time slot.

And when the most students were available.

Combined with Noreen's own qualifications, credentials, and fame, every seat was taken long before class started.

As soon as he finished, the entire hall erupted in cheers and teasing.

But the student maintained a direct, fervent gaze on Noreen, waiting for her answer.

Noreen raised a hand to quiet the crowd, then held up her right hand, openly displaying her engagement ring.

Finally, she smiled warmly at the young man who had confessed to her. "I'm afraid you don't have a chance. I'm already engaged."

A collective sigh of disappointment echoed through the hall, and at that moment, the bell rang.

Noreen gathered her lesson plan and bid everyone farewell with a smile.

Only after her figure disappeared from the doorway did Seth finally tear his eyes away from her.

Only in a setting like this could he gaze at her so freely.

He had always known Noreen was popular.

But he never expected her to be confessed to by one of her own students in class.

"Hey, you're not here for the lecture, are you?"

The student sitting next to Seth asked him curiously. "You didn't take a single note the entire class. It's a bit strange."

Seth's Adam's apple bobbed. It took him a moment to come up with a dry explanation. "I lost my backpack."
