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?"

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.

This was exactly the reaction she needed. Still, she kept up her pretense, speaking with false concern, "You should apologize to Mr. Alvarez and stop being so stubborn." With
