Her Hidden Crowns (Suzanne and Austin)

Flowers? As if she couldn't afford any kind she wanted. What was there to be so smug about?

Bitch!

Just then, a knock came at the office door.

Seline took a deep breath, her expression dark. She called out toward the door, "Come in."noveldrama

Tanya knew Seline was in a foul mood, so she stepped forward and respectfully said, "Ms. Yates, here's everything you asked for on Cindy Hunt."

Seline froze for a second before reaching out to take the file from Tanya's hand. She held it between her fingers, her eyes scanning the details inside.

Cindy Hunt was the eldest daughter of her family. Her father, Kendall, was a giant in the transportation industry, a family with deep roots and serious influence. But now, Kendall was gravely ill. The doctors had already issued a critical notice— there was no hope of recovery.

The only person who could save him was the miracle doctor, Jane Smith.

Seline's brows furrowed tightly. No wonder she had kneeled in front of Suzanne last night, begging like that.

But with a background as powerful as the Hunt family's, why wouldn't Suzanne save him? That made no sense at all.

The next moment, however, Seline's lips curled into a faint smile. Whatever the reason, as long as Suzanne refused to help, that could only be a good thing.

Wasn't Suzanne always putting on airs, bragging about her medical skills?

She would have Cindy grow to hate Suzanne. When the time came, someone else would naturally deal with Suzanne for her.

More importantly, Cindy was no saint.

Back in school, she got into fights, smoked, drank, and dated-she played hard in every sense. She was once even reported to the police for campus violence. In the end, it was Kendall who stepped in, paid off the other party, and settled the matter.

With someone like that, provoking her hatred would be a piece of cake.

The fury burning in Seline's chest eased considerably, and a cold smile appeared on her lips. "Let's see how she handles this one."

Suzanne had gotten lucky time and again, but the Hunt family wasn't to be trifled with.

For the past decade, they had power in both the legal and illegal worlds. No matter how capable Suzanne

We could never survive the

Hunt family's revenge.

Seeing Seline's mood lighten, Tanya finally let out a quiet sigh of relief. Otherwise, she would probably be the one Seline took her anger out on again.

Just then, Seline's phone rang. She glanced sideways and unlocked the screen. When she saw Jenson's name flashing, she immediately broke into a wide grin.

"Seline, let's have lunch together. I've booked a private room at a restaurant near your office."

Seline's eyes lit up. Jenson wanted to have lunch with her!

That meant the flowers weren't from Jenson!

Her heart felt like it was floating. She quickly set down the file and fired off a reply, "Okay! I'm on my way, Jenson!"

Turning around, she stuffed the documents into a drawer, locked it, then looked at Tanya and said, "Go get back to work. I'm heading to lunch."

Before Tanya could respond, Seline had already grabbed her bag and hurried out the office door.

Tanya watched her with a slight frown, curiosity flickering in her eyes.

Seline looked far too eager. Who had asked her out to make her light up like that? Her whole expression was practically blooming.

Shaking her head in confusion, Tanya let out a soft sigh. Whatever. It didn't really matter. As long as Seline wasn't lashing out again, everything was easier to deal with.

Ever since she started working with Seline, what she had seen the most was her constant temper. She was sweet and polished on the outside but volatile behind the scenes

Seline was the textbook definition of two-faced.
