EuropeNovelChapter 202 But in reality, Yates Corporation was backed by Frost Corporation.
Henry scoffed. Did the Lloyd family really think they could bring his company down? It was pure wishful thinking.
Mandy and Seline weren't aware of this, but hearing Henry's reassurance put them both at ease. As long as the company was safe, that was all that mattered.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMandy nodded and said, "That's good to hear. But Suzanne has really gone too far this time." Seline quickly echoed, "That's right! She messed up the deal with the Alvarez family, and now..." She trailed off, but her words had already reignited Henry's anger.
Henry's expression darkened, and he snarled. "That wretched girl!" He wasn't going to let Suzanne get away with this! Two hours later at Starview Villa, Suzanne had freshened up and changed into a loose, light green silk nightgown. She sat at the small wooden table in the middle of the room and began trimming the flower stems.
The flowers in the vase had already withered. Earlier, after beating Todd up and walking out of the alley, she happened to cacross a flower vendor. Seeing the flowers in full bloom, she bought a large bouquet.
A gentle breeze drifted in, stirring the long strands of hair at Suzanne's chest. The scene was one of serenity and comfort.
Just then, her phone rang. Suzanne glanced at the screen and was slightly surprised to see it was Austin calling. She answered the video call immediately.
"Did he hurt you?" Austin's deep, cool gaze was locked on the screen, scanning her for any signs of injury. There was a flicker of surprise in Suzanne's expression. So, he already knew.
With a smile, she shook her head and tucked a pink bellflower into the vase. She replied nonchalantly, "It was just a few thugs. They didn't pose a threat to me." If Todd wasn't still of suse to her, she would have sent him straight to prison tonight.
The temperature around Austin seemed to drop as he said coldly, "It looks like the Lloyd family has a death wish." Suzanne set down the flower stem in her hand and looked at him reassuringly. She said, "Don't get too worked up. I've already set them up to tear each other apart." Violence would've been the fastest solution, but it wouldn't be enough to ease her anger. How could the matter of Todd almost ruining her purity end just like that? Austin frowned slightly. He knew Suzanne was both smart and capable, but it wouldn't be wise for her to be on her own.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe immediately said, "You can orchestrate their downfall, but from now on, you must have bodyguards with you whenever you go out." Suzanne's expression stiffened at that. She put down the flowers and looked at Austin, shaking her head. "There's no need. It's too much of a hassle to go out with bodyguards." When she imagined herself being followed everywhere by a group of burly bodyguards, Suzanne couldn't help but smirk. It made for a really ridiculous picture. Besides, she could protect herself.
But Austin wouldn't budge, and his tone was firm as he said, "No, that won't do."
Suzanne put down the scissors.
When she saw the determination in mey his eyes, she knew she probably wouldn't be able to avoid agreeing tonight. Rubbing her forehead, she sighed and said, "Fine. One bodyguard is enough." Austin gave a nod and responded, "Alright." They cto a compromise.
Suzanne had finished arranging the flowers, and now, both of them were staring
at each other, neither quite knowing how to end the call. She couldn't help but feel that the atmosphere had E turned awkward. She reached up to tuck her hair behind her ear, thinking of a way to ease the tension.
But unexpectedly, the movement caused the shoulder straps of hen nightgown to slip, and the silky fabric slid off her shoulders. Her pale, flawless skin was completely exposed!
