Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Chapter 144

Theresa, a high–achieving student in classical literature, lost all traces of her literary grace when she began hurling insults.

Her words were like arrows, each striking right at Monica’s heart.

“You, you, you…” Monica stuttered for a moment, wanting to retort, but facing Theresa’s flawless figure, she couldn’t find the words to express her indignation.

Susan, who was standing beside them, initially wanted to throw a few jabs at Monica as well, but she soon realized that Theresa’s verbal onslaught was venomous enough that she didn’t need to intervene.

Especially when she saw Monica’s face turning from red to pale, it was just too hilarious to behold.

Unable to contain herself, Susan burst into laughter.

Initially, Monica’s wrath was directed at Theresa, but Susan’s laughter redirected it towards her. In a fit of anger, she glared at Susan and exclaimed, “Susan! The Lynn family and the Landor family have been allies for generations. You’re siding with a stranger and laughing at me, does Ben know about this?”

“Do you plan to tattle?” Susan replied with a light chuckle, “Feel free to do so. Would you like me to call him for you?”

As she spoke, Susan even pulled out her phone, putting on a show of dialing Ben’s number.

“You…” Monica reached out, attempting to grab the phone from her.

She had been using her connection to the Landor family to boost her status, but given Ben’s current stance, would she dare to actually involve him?

“Seems like Ms. Lynn aren’t as confident as you claim to be,” Susan said as she sneered and put her phone away, leaving Monica with a face that seemed to have been slapped twice over.

Monica’s face was a sight to behold, a myriad of unpleasant hues painting her frustration and embarrassment.

Losing interest in Monica, Susan turned towards Theresa with a friendly expression and

She had taken a liking to Susan, especially after witnessing her put Monica in her place.

Happily shaking Susan’s hand, she said, “Pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Landor. I must thank you for speaking up for me, helping me secure this spokesperson role. This opportunity means a lot to me. I’ll always remember your kindness.”

Susan felt slightly awkward and said honestly, “Actually, I didn’t intend to advocate for your at that time. There were four photos laid out, and honestly, I couldn’t make out much from them, so I just casually pointed at one. I had no idea the person in the photo was you, let alone that Ben would finalize the endorsement so quickly. If you want to thank someone,
