Chapter 149
Austin slammed his palm against the bedside table with such force that the decorative items on top trembled.
His eyes narrowed coldly. “The Yates family do they really think no one is onto them just because I haven’t made a move yet?”
He had already taken the land they wanted, yet they still didn’t know when to stop. Since that was the case, they shouldn’t blame him for being merciless,
Suzanne knew Austin was angry, but she didn’t want him to intervene in this matter just yet.
She set down her cup and looked at him, shaking her head. “I’ll handle the Yates family myself”
Austin regarded her disapprovingly. “You don’t know how to be ruthless.”
Suzanne was too soft–hearted. That was why she had been bullied by Henry and his family for so long. Even now, after everything they had done, she still hesitated to retaliate
She shook her head and rose from the bed, slowly walking toward the window. Her cold, steady voice broke the silence. “Yates Corporation only exists today because of my grandparents‘ support”
But Henry seemed to have forgotten that. The moment wealth and status came into play, so did greater temptations, and eventually, he lost his original valves:
Turning back, Suzanne met Austin’s gaze with a rare sharp glint in her eyes. “Yates Corporation was everything to my mother. I’ll take it back with my own hands. I won’t show
them any mercy.”
Henry’s actions over the years had already shattered any hope of reconciliation. And this time, he had severed their ties completely
“Then I’ll take care of the Lloyd family,” Austin offered
That was already a compromise. Il Gabriel were here, he would recognize this as Austin reaching his limit of patience
But Suzanne shook her head.
Seeing Austin’s expressión daken, she softened her voice. “Sometimes, it’s more satisfying to let dogs tear each other apart. They’re just stepping stones for me
Austin studied her for a long moment before finally relenting. “Alright. If you need anything, just tell me ”
This time, Suzanne didn’t refuse.
Watching him walk out the door, warmth flickered in Suzanne’s cold eyes,
Meanwhile, in a luxurious ward at Riverdale General Hospital, Todd lay sprawled on the large white bed, groaning incessantly
Henry, Seline, and Mandy all stood humbly before him, their faces full of forced smiles and apologies.
