Her Hidden Crowns (Suzanne and Austin)

Chapter 304

As the executive vice president of Yates Corporation, Henry's words held

significant influence. Addressing him in that manner in front of everyone was akin to a public humiliation. It had a profound impact on Suzanne, with accusations of disloyalty, lack of respect, and being unkind and unjust bound to follow!

She should have exercised restraint. How could she completely lack a sense of propriety?

Henry was so furious that his face went pale. He wanted to kick Suzanne out immediately. However, remembering her identity as Jane, Henry clenched his teeth and tolerated the humiliation repeatedly.

Seline felt a wave of happiness inside, but she put on a critical expression and said to Suzanne, "Sue, how could you talk to Dad like that?"

She was hoping they would have a major argument, prompting Henry to kick this troublemaker out of Yates Corporation. That way, Suzanne's work wouldn't be submitted to the Elite Contest. Let this nuisance be stuck in the muck forever!

Suzanne gazed at Seline and Henry with complete disdain as they bantered. "Everything I do is for the benefit of the company, not for my own advantage. I hope you don't mix things up or inflate your own importance, forgetting what truly matters."

Both Seline and Henry were shocked by her words.

The entire conference room went silent, with everyone wishing they could disappear. Even Lillian, typically the most vocal, refrained from speaking.

However, her eyes gleamed with excitement. How could Suzanne, that audacious woman, have the nerve to talk back to Henry like that? Wasn't she worried that Henry might disqualify her work from the Elite Contest?

No matter how exceptional her design, failing to play the social game would leave her at square one. Among everyone, only Macey showed genuine concern for Suzanne, gently pulling on her sleeve to suggest she should dial it back.
