Jamie spoke, leaning his upper body a little closer to Suzie. "Grandpa told me you were very willing to marry me, but now, it feels like you have a lot of hostility toward me. Did I do something in the past few years to make you unhappy?"

Just as Suzie was speechless, an urgent knock on the door sounded.

Mia didn't wait for Suzie's response before rushing in. She gave Jamie a quick nod and then said anxiously to Suzie, "Suzie, someone is causing a scene at the front desk."

Suzie frowned and asked, "Don't panic. Who is it? And why?"

Panting, Mia explained, "It's one of our clients, Ms. Lydia Lynn, who was shooting in Studio Three today. She went to the dressing room to change and left her bag there. When she went back to get it after the shoot, her watch was gone. She insists one of our employees stole it. She was making a huge fuss at the reception just now. I barely managed to talk her into waiting in the conference room."

Suzie stood up, asking, "Who was the assistant in charge of Studio Three?"

"The assistant for Studio Three is Cora. I'll call her in." Mia ran to the door and pulled in Cora, who had been waiting just outside.

Cora had her hands tightly clasped together. With her head bowed and a look of deep grievance on her face, she said, "Ms. Sterling, I didn't take Ms. Lynn's watch. I really value this job. Please help me."

Saying this, she couldn't help but sob quietly.

Suzie walked over to her, led her to sit on the sofa, and handed her a tissue. She said gently, "I'm asking you now not because I suspect you, but because I want to understand exactly what happened. Tell me the whole story again carefully."
