Her Hidden Crowns (Suzanne and Austin)

Chapter 257

Henry looked at Seline and asked, "What's your plan?"

A glint flashed in Seline's eyes as she leaned in and whispered to him.

Moments later, Henry's tense expression eased, a smile curling at the corners of his mouth as he nodded in approval. "Alright, we'll do it your way."

With the crisis seemingly averted, the tension in the room lightened.

Mandy gazed at Henry with feigned concern. "Honey, your injuries are serious. Let's go to the hospital. Seeing you like this breaks my heart."

Suppressing her resentment, she tried to appear worried.

Henry touched his bruised face and shook his head. "No need. It's just a small injury."

In reality, it hurt like hell.

Pointing at the jewelry on the table, he ordered, "Sell everything in this house. Bring me all the money. I need it."
