Her Hidden Crowns (Suzanne and Austin) novel Chapter 207

Henry buried his anger and resentment, turning to Augustus with a troubled look. He said, "Mr. Frost, Suzanne lacks experience in this field. Even if she wants to lead the design department, she should at least study for a few years to gain everyone's confidence."

During those years, he would make sure to get his hands on Suzanne's shares. By then, neither the Frost family nor Suzanne would have the final say.

Henry's mind was already working hard and calculating his next move.

George glanced at Suzanne, who had remained silent the entire time. He frowned slightly before shifting his attention back to Augustus.

He suggested, "She can stay in the company, but not as the manager of the design department. She should start from the bottom. If she truly has the ability, I won't object to her leading the design department."

Her words made everyone freeze. Henry was even more shocked, and he momentarily forgot to keep up his act.

Augustus frowned in disapproval and said softly, "Suzanne—"
