Her Hidden Crowns (Suzanne and Austin) novel Chapter 228

Suzanne shot Tanya a frosty look and warned her, "You'd better shape up and do your job right."

Tanya, already displeased with Suzanne, now felt even more uncomfortable. She felt a discomfort welling up within her.

Suzanne, unfazed, continued in an icy tone, "Instead of spending your time trying to butter up Seline—who doesn't even own any shares in the company—what do you think you'll gain from flattering her? Even if my father were to hand all his shares to her, she'd still have fewer shares than me."

With 70% of the shares, Suzanne had the ultimate control. If she wasn't aiming to gradually win over the seasoned employees at Yates Corporation, she would have already stepped in to assert her dominance over the shareholders.

What role would Henry and Seline play then?

Tanya was taken aback. Could Suzanne really have that many shares? No, that couldn't be true!

Seline had been with the company for so long, and Henry treated her with such care. It seemed clear to everyone that the future control of Yates Corporation lay with Seline, not Suzanne. This had to be a bluff from Suzanne to intimidate her!

But Tanya didn't dare to argue further with Suzanne, fearing that Suzanne's claim might actually be true.

Suzanne folded her arms across her chest, reclined against the car seat, and turned her head to the side, closing her eyes. Finally, there was silence, and she could rest.

…

Forty minutes had passed. In the design department of Yates Corporation, designers were diligently working at their desks.

Seline, wearing a women's suit jacket paired with a light blue skirt, surveyed the busy designers in the department.

Many of the designers were well-regarded in their field. However, regardless of their talent, it didn't matter—they were all still working under her supervision.

A trace of disdain flickered in Seline's eyes. Talent meant nothing when faced with the power of money. Nevertheless, she maintained a gentle smile, concealing any hint of her true feelings from others.

At that moment, the glass door of the design department swung open, and Suzanne and Tanya entered one after the other.

Seline's eyes brightened as she quickly approached them. "Sue, how did it go? Did Mr. Young give you any trouble?"

She examined Suzanne from head to toe and noticed that her clothes were intact, which sparked a bit of suspicion.
