Her Hidden Crowns (Suzanne and Austin) novel Chapter 258

Now, Henry was forcing them to sell their jewelry and had even laid hands on Mandy. The thought sent a wave of fear through Seline.

Mandy gently patted Seline's back, soothing her. "Don't be afraid. I'm here."

No matter what Henry was planning, she wouldn't allow it if it threatened their interests.

The atmosphere in the Yates residence remained oppressive and tense. In contrast, Suzanne was in a rather pleasant mood.

…

At Starview Villa, in a room with warm wooden decor, Suzanne placed the final flower into a vase before lifting it and setting it on a side table. The evening breeze swept through, carrying the faint scent of fresh flowers throughout the room.

Just as she put the vase down, her phone rang. Glancing at the screen, she answered without hesitation.

Before she could speak, a voice on the other end burst with excitement. "Henry got what was coming to him! Frankie beat him up so bad his face is swollen like a balloon!"

Shane had wanted to do this for a long time.

The only reason he held back was because Henry was Suzanne's biological father. But now that Frankie had taken action, Shane couldn't be more thrilled.

Suzanne raised an eyebrow in surprise. "How do you know?"

Had Frankie acted this quickly?

She had expected it to take a few days at least. It seemed her provocation had worked faster than anticipated.

Reclining lazily in a chair, Shane swirled the wine in his glass, a smug grin on his baby-faced features. "Who do you think I am? Of course, I'd know."

His arrogance made Suzanne shake her head in amusement.

Taking a sip of wine, Shane continued gleefully, "Henry went to Golden Plaza's casino tonight and got played by Frankie. He lost more than 20 million dollars and got a beating on top of it. Pretty pathetic, if you ask me."

Twenty million dollars.

Suzanne's brows furrowed together. Where did he get that kind of money?
