Was Seline stirring up trouble again?
Seline gazed at Suzanne with a concerned expression. "Sue, I know Dad made you move out and that must be hard for you, but…"
She hesitated for a moment before continuing, "But you shouldn't be doing something like this."
Suzanne's expression darkened. Something like what?
At that moment, many people in the office turned to look at her. The strange atmosphere she had sensed earlier now made sense.
Suzanne's cold gaze locked on Seline as she warned, "Seline, speak clearly. Otherwise, don't blame me for not being polite."
She just wanted to work in peace, but Seline insisted on creating drama. Suzanne was fed up with her.
Seline's face was filled with urgency as if she was about to cry. "Sue, you can't let yourself become someone's sugar baby!"
The last two words made Suzanne laugh in exasperation.
On the outside, Seline looked so concerned, yet the words she spoke were like poison.
She was a sugar baby?
Lilian and a few others glanced at Suzanne disdainfully, sneering, "I thought she was dating some incredible man. Turns out she's just his sugar baby."
"Yeah. I thought she was lucky enough to land such a great boyfriend, but in the end, he's just her sugar daddy."
"And she was showing off yesterday like it was something to be proud of. If it were me, I'd be ashamed."
Macey suddenly stood up, her face filled with anger. She shouted at them, "Stop spreading lies! That's not the truth at all."
Suzanne was already so accomplished on her own. Why would she need a sugar daddy?
These people were just jealous.
