Seline laughed deviously. Suzanne could vividly imagine the twisted expression on her face at that moment.

Instead of hanging up, Suzanne's lips curved into a mocking smile as she said coldly, "What do you think Jenson would say if he heard the kind of words you're saying right now?"

Seline froze for a moment before slamming the ring in her hand down onto the table with a loud thud, screaming furiously, "Suzanne! Do you really think Jenson will believe anything you say? Let me tell you—"

"You think I'm not recording this?"

"Suzanne, don't you dare send it to him! I'll make sure Dad cuts ties with you forever!"

Seline was clearly panicking.

Suzanne, keeping her eyes on the road, let out a cold chuckle. "Already breaking down? Is this all you've got?"

Seline abruptly realized her anger had played right into Suzanne's hands. Taking a deep breath, she forced herself to calm down.

Suzanne wouldn't record anything, and even if she did, Jenson wouldn't believe her. After all the seeds she had planted, Jenson already despised Suzanne. He'd probably think Suzanne was trying to tarnish her reputation.

She calmed down with that thought and taunted Suzanne, "You're all talk, Suzanne. Do you know what will happen when the truth about you pretending to be Jane Smith comes out?"

Seline gripped her phone tightly, the sarcasm in her words barely masking her probing tone. Deep down, she wasn't entirely sure. Suzanne had never struck her as bold enough to pull off something so audacious. But if Suzanne was Jane Smith, Seline needed to prepare herself.
