Lilian's tears instantly came flowing down as she whimpered pitifully, "Ms. Yates, Suzanne bullied me."
She removed her hand and showed Seline her cheek.
Her face was already dreadfully swollen, and her eye makeup ran down her cheeks with her tears as she sobbed. Seline frowned at how hideous Lilian looked right now, and she subconsciously took a step back.
However, she needed to keep up with her act. Hence, she pretended to want to touch Lilian's face but retracted her hand hastily, acting like she was afraid that she would hurt Lilian.
Her face was filled with heartache as she muttered empathetically, "How could Suzanne do this to you?"
Lilian's tears flowed even faster. "You're so kind, Ms. Yates…"
She was about to lean on Seline's shoulder to cry when Seline took a step back hastily and whipped out some tissues from her bag. She said with concern, "Here, these are for your tears. There, there."
Strong feelings of disgust flashed across Seline's eyes.
How could Lilian not have any self-awareness? If she knew she was ugly, she shouldn't cry. Crying would only make her uglier.
However, for Lilian to hate Suzanne more, she had to suppress the disgust she felt in her heart.
Lilian took the tissue from Seline and sobbed, feeling moved. "Thank you, Ms. Yates."
At the same time, resentment filled her heart. How could the two be sisters when they had completely different personalities? One was evil while the other was kind.
One day, she would be sure to make Suzanne pay for slapping her today!
Seline replied sorrowfully, "It's fine. It's Suzanne's fault. I'll apologize on her behalf."
The two women from another department stood on the side and looked at Seline with admiration in their eyes. Managers like her were just like saints!
They exclaimed enviously, "Wow, your manager is so gentle, Lilian."
She was also Henry's daughter, so if people like her were to be the CEO of their company in the future, working here would be great!
