Her Hidden Crowns (Suzanne and Austin)

A frigid look came across Felicia's face when she saw how Timothy was going overboard the more he spoke. Staring straight at Timothy, she prompted, "She saved your and your daughter's lives. Have you forgotten about what she did?"

If word of this got out, others might even say that the Halls were ungrateful people.

Timothy turned livid at what Felicia said. "We can give Suzanne whatever she wants-anything except getting married to Austin."

This wasn't a simple matter. They shouldn't take this lightly.

Yasmine lowered the plate of fruits onto the coffee table. Then, she glanced over at Timothy. "Dad, you seem to have forgotten that the Frost family has her back."

This was something that one would be able to find out just by looking into Suzanne. Yasmine refused to believe that Timothy hadn't found out about this.

Felicia looked upset too. "Maybe he feels like his son is untouchable. The miracle doctor, Jane Smith, has the Frost family supporting her. She has a strong background and is a capable woman. Just think about it-there aren't any heiresses in Dudore better than her, are there?"

Other than relying on their families, those heiresses weren't capable of anything else.

They wouldn't be able to contribute in any way if they married into the Hall family. Meanwhile, those who were career-minded wouldn't actually care about Austin.

Yasmine pursed her lips. Instinctively, she looked over at the dining room, where Emma and Austin were seated and playing together.

The cold and aloof Austin was always pursued by others. At this moment, even his own mother was looking at him in disdain.

Timothy insisted, "They'd still be better than Suzanne."

The Yates family wasn't even a family of any significance in Dudore. Moreover,

how could someone like Henry have a daughter who was of decent character and capability?

Suzanne might be able to put on an act for now, but she would show her true colors with time.

If Timothy didn't take preventative measures against her now, who would take responsibility if problems arose in the future?

Suddenly, Austin got to his feet. With Emma in his arms, he walked out of the dining room and to the living room before handing her to Yasmine.

Staring at Timothy with a dull gaze, he said, "It doesn't matter what her background is. Even if she isn't someone with a high social status, I'll still be with her."

Suzanne was now his wife. This was a fact that no one could change.

Timothy became so frustrated that he almost choked. With a trembling finger, he pointed at Austin as he chided, "Why, y-you ingrate!"

Would Austin feel pleased only if he frustrated him to death?

Looking indifferent and arrogant, Austin said, "I don't need any woman to raise my social status. I'll still be able to make the Hall family an undefeatable presence in Dudore all on my own."

He was someone who would walk the talk. This was what he was capable of.noveldrama

Using his marriage to trade for his family's glory would make him an utterly useless person.

Both Yasmine and Felicia watched Austin. This was a quality of his that they had never doubted.

Throughout these years of him managing Hall Corporation, the company had been thriving in all areas. It would be ridiculous for him to secure his wealth and position through a woman!

Without waiting for Timothy to reply, Austin said in a firm voice, "I'm a married man, and I don't have any plans to get divorced in the future."

He looked back at Felicia. In a softer tone, he said, "Mom, I've got to go. I'll be back to visit you another day."

Thereafter, he turned around and marched out.

Enraged, Timothy roared, "Austin, get back here!"

Nevertheless, his weak legs didn't allow him to hold Austin back. In the end, all he could do was watch as Austin left.

Fixing her eyes on Timothy, Felicia said, "Can't you just do something about that conservative mindset of yours? You pissed him off right after I asked him to come home. Moving forward, you can call him yourself if you want him to come home. Don't get me to do it."

Felicia got up and walked to the kitchen. Meanwhile, Timothy remained seated on the couch, feeling stuck in the middle.

Pointing his quivering finger at the kitchen, he looked at Yasmine and said, "Just look at that. Everyone in the family is upset because of Suzanne."

Yasmine was at a loss for words. She picked up the plate of fruits from the table and scooted over to Timothy. Then, she handed the plate of fruits to Emma.

She urged, "Emma, feed your grandpa some fruits to calm him down. Otherwise, he's gonna have to ask Suzanne to treat him again."
