Her Hidden Crowns (Suzanne and Austin) novel Chapter 223

Suzanne glanced at the design sketch beneath Khalil's fingertips. She had to admit that Khalil knew how to make empty promises. If it were an ordinary young designer who had just entered society, they would probably have been tempted already. After all, he made mentions of international awards.

The corners of Suzanne's mouth curved slightly. She really wasn't interested in that.

She said calmly, "Then I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, Mr. Young."

Khalil looked at Suzanne in surprise. Rarely did a young woman resist his persuasive words.

"Then what do you like? Money?" he asked.

Suzanne shook her head and said directly, "I'm not short of money."

Khalil's expression suddenly changed. He looked at Suzanne sharply and said coldly, "Ms. Yates, don't be ungrateful. With my connections, it'll be hard for you to get by in the future."

Now, he was clearly threatening her. He wanted to see just how brave a young woman like her could be.

Suzanne looked at the furious Khalil and said with a half-smile, "Mr. Young, you're also a person of status. If this matter gets out, it'll probably have an impact on both your family and your social standing."

He was able to customize such an expensive piece of jewelry for Sarah. No matter from which aspect, Khalil attached great importance to Sarah.

Khalil stared at Suzanne with a gloomy look in his eyes. This woman, despite being so young, was really something! But so what? She was just a young designer, after all.

In the private room next door, the luxuriously decorated space was filled with people. All of them were familiar faces in the entertainment industry. Each one of them, if seen by fans, would make them scream with excitement.

Jenson, dressed in a dark gray suit, sat upright in the main seat. There was a gentle smile on his lips as he watched the people in the private room playing and joking around.

Zeke, wearing a dark blue hoodie, looked at Jenson with a beaming smile and flattered him, saying, "This time, we really owe it all to you. Your acting skills are truly amazing."

The others chimed in, "This drama is definitely going to be a huge hit. Mr. Lambert is so awesome."

"Yes. We should toast Mr. Lambert first with this glass of wine."

"Cheers to the end of filming!"

With one person starting it, everyone started laughing and joking around, standing up to offer a toast to Jenson.

Jenson smiled modestly and raised his glass, saying, "You're all too kind. To the end of filming."

Amidst all the flattery, a loud noise suddenly came from the next room. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at each other in surprise.

Zeke asked in confusion, "What's going on?"

Since the others didn't know either, they all shook their heads.
