Her Hidden Crowns (Suzanne and Austin)

Chapter 212

Three days later, the agreed-upon time had arrived. It was time to deliver the work.

Early in the morning, the design department was already teeming with people. Nearly everyone from the department, whether they'd been on a business trip or not, had gathered.

All were waiting to see if Suzanne would be ousted from the company or if she'd find a way to turn the tables. But secretly, everyone thought it was most likely she'd be kicked out.

Suzanne, who was the center of attention that day, sat at her workstation in a white dress, her expression impassive. It was as if she had tuned out all the surrounding commotion.

Jessica, on the other hand, was dressed in a striking red bodycon dress that accentuated her vivacious and charming looks. With a victorious smile on her face, she hummed a tune as she strode briskly into the design department. She held a cup of coffee in one hand, and on her arm, she carried a limited-edition Chanel bag.

Today was the day of reckoning for Suzanne! If she could manage to get Suzanne fired, it would be a major achievement. Seline would surely show her even more favor. After all, once the long-standing employees were gone, the company would be Seline's for the taking!

The more Jessica thought about the situation, the more excited she grew.

The moment she spotted Suzanne seated at her desk, she promptly marched over and sneered, "It's not too late to own up to your mistake. Otherwise, when you get fired, you'll be thoroughly disgraced."
