Her Hidden Crowns (Suzanne and Austin) novel Chapter 300

Suzanne really felt for Cheryl. However, Cheryl had never asked her for help when she was in trouble. She really wanted to help Cheryl, but Cheryl had always refused her help.

Suzanne gently toyed with her coffee cup as she stared intently at Cheryl. "I actually really admired you, but there was one thing you did wrong. If you didn't have enough money, why didn't you just tell me directly? You chose to do that instead. Have you ever considered me as a friend?"

Cheryl shook her head immediately. She lowered her head and didn't reply. She didn't know what to say as remorse filled her heart.

Her tears flowed uncontrollably. She wanted to say something, but her words were lodged in her throat.

She was in the wrong here.

Complicated emotions flooded Suzanne's eyes. Her tone softened as she continued, "I don't blame you. Don't think too much."

Cheryl looked at Suzanne and shook her head. Her voice was still laced with sadness as she said, "It's precisely because I consider you my friend that's why I didn't want to bring my money problems into our friendship. I was worried that our friendship would fall apart because of it."

However, she still saw the outcome she wanted the least—their friendship had still fallen apart.

She continued, "I'd very much rather you hate me. At least it'd make me feel better."

However, this was just the kind of person Suzanne was. She had done such terrible things, but Suzanne still chose to forgive her.

How could she ever be worthy of such forgiveness?

Suzanne sighed. "You're not cut out to be a villain. Why torture yourself like this?"

She looked at her watch. It was already 8:00 am.

The design department had a meeting at 9:00 am that she couldn't miss.

She waved to the waiter. When the waiter came, she asked for the bill.

The waiter very quickly brought the POS machine over. After Suzanne paid, the waiter responded respectfully, "Hope you enjoyed your food."

Suzanne nodded. After the waiter left, she looked at Cheryl again and said softly, "Let the past remain in the past. Live well, and work well."

Cheryl's sobs choked in her throat. She wanted to say something else, but she couldn't make a sound. Suzanne got up without giving her another look. "I have a meeting later. I've got to go."

Suzanne took a few steps and turned back to look at Cheryl again. "Don't do such foolish things anymore in the future. I'll still tell you the same thing—if you're really in trouble, just let me know."
