The first thing Suzanna noticed was that Gwendolyn had sat at the head of the table before even realizing what the latter had said. Her lips trembled as she asked, “W-What do you mean by that?”

Gwendolyn’s red lips curved upward as she broke into a careless laugh.

She fixed her gaze on Suzanna and made no response

Gwendolyn’s laughter unnerved Suzanna, and the aura radiating off the former sent a chill down the latter’s spine.

“You’re crazy! A raving lunatic!” Suzanna spat out scomfully. As she spoke, she took two steps.

backward.

Just as she was about to turn and leave, four men in police uniforms appeared at the conference room’s door and knocked politely. “Excuse me. May we know who’s Suzanna Kleppen?”

As soon as Suzanna heard that they were looking for her, she was stunned. “What is it about?”

Seeing that she was the one who responded, the policemen immediately walked toward her with stern expressions.

She was so frightened that the color drained from her face. “Have you… made a mistake? I’m a good and law-abiding citizen!”

“We’ll be the judge of whether or not you’re innocent. Please come with us.”

“No! I’m not going!”

Mr. Ward and Mr. Ulmer are inside, so there’s no way of hiding what I did. I had hoped Jonathan would be able to protect me, but I never expected him to end up in the doghouse quicker than me. In any case, I can’t get thrown into jail. Once I go there, my career and future will be in utter shambles!”

Something seemed to occur to her, and she hurried over to Gwendolyn. Tossing aside her pride, she crouched at Gwendolyn’s feet, tugged at her hand, and pleaded, “Was it you who told them to come? Gwendolyn… Ms. Shalders, I admit defeat. I apologize I only harbored malicious intent toward you because of a moment of jealousy. Please spare me, will you?”

Gwendolyn gently lifted Suzanna’s chin with the tip of her finger and stared straight into the latter’s eyes. Grinning, she remarked, “Your apology reeks of fear and hope. You know better than me just how

sincere it is.”

“No! I mean every word I said! I was wrong, Ms. Shalders. It was my fault.”

“If you were merely trying to pick a fight with me for rivial reasons, I’d only fire you for conspiring with Jonathan Flint to take over my position. However, you gave me such a surprise. I underestimated you. If I don’t send you to jail, it’d be an insult to that impressive performance you put on last night.”

Although Suzanna bowed her head and sobbed bitterly, she was seething with rage inwardly.

This b*tch sure spouts a load of crazy talk! She’s such a bully! Once I get out of this predicament, I’ll definitely find a chance to get rid of her.
