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.

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 gwould 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.
But could Suzanne ever act submissive in front of Henry and Seline? Absolutely not.
With determination in her eyes, Suzanne faced them and declared, "I've completed my presentation. You can continue the meeting without me." As the final presenter, she turned and left the room with her tablet, clearly uninterested in lingering or retracting her words. Henry was livid, his chest rising and falling heavily. His gaze almost blazed with anger in the direction Suzanne had exited. She was completely uncontrollable! Henry pounded his fist on the conference table with such force that it startled everyone, causing their hearts to race.
Macey swallowed anxiously as she thought, "What kind of nightmare is this? It's frightening!" Seline, although secretly pleased, understood the situation was inappropriate. She quickly rose from her seat and announced, "Let's end the meeting. I'll email everyone whose designs have been chosen." As if released from a trance, everyone nodded, swiftly stood up, and hurried out of the conference room like smoke dispersing. They feared that lingering might make them targets of Henry's wrath.
In a flash, Seline and Henry were the only ones remaining in the conference room. As soon as the door shut, Henry's restraint snapped.

She had no idea what was good for her! Seline struggled to hold back a smile that threatened to spread across her face. She almost wanted to applaud Suzanne's boldness.
With a sigh, she turned to Henry, attempting to reason with him. "Dad, Π Sue is the miracle doctor, Jane. Her design abilities are outstanding, so it's natural for her to have a bit of an attitude." Her remarks only intensified the situation, further inflaming Henry's rage.
Henry let out a loud snort, saying, "Regardless of her skills, she's still a part of the Yates family. There are responsibilities she must fulfill, whether she's willing or not!" He tapped his finger on the freshly written list, stopping on Suzanne's name. "Choose her. If she fails to return with the gold prize, she'll have to deal with me!" Aspiring to run the company? Not happening!
Naturally, Seline was eager to cooperate. This was exactly what she wanted. Regarding Winning the gold prize? Even if Suzanne had the capability to win it, she certainly wouldn't. A chilling glimmer appeared in Seline's eyes. This time, she would make sure Suzanne's downfall was complete and permanent.
