Her Hidden Crowns (Suzanne and Austin) novel Chapter 364

If the gemstones were not used correctly, the true essence of even the best designs would not be captured.

Suzanne didn't care if Seline didn't understand design. At least, until she officially took over Yates Corporation, she wouldn't interfere. But obstructing the progress of the Elite Contest was something she could not tolerate.

Those who had initially harbored displeasure, disdain, and disgust toward Suzanne now fell silent. At this moment, no one dared to challenge her.

The designers in this department were among the top in the industry. They all knew clearly that what she had said was the truth.

Seline lowered her head as large tears rolled down her cheeks. She cried pitifully, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have locked them away."

That damned Tanya! How could she not tell her this would cause such a huge problem?

If this issue truly impacted the outcome of the contest, she dared not imagine how Henry would punish her. She couldn't allow Suzanne to win an award, but she also couldn't jeopardize the other entries of the company.

Suzanne glared at Seline coldly. "When something goes wrong, all you do is cry. You're completely useless. Do you think you deserve to be a manager?"

Who gave Seline the right to act high and mighty in front of her?

Seline's expression changed instantly.

"Save your tears for when you have to explain yourself to the shareholders. Now, are you going to hand over the gemstones, or should I bring the shareholders here myself?"

With her head still lowered, Seline wiped away her tears and sniffled. "Of course, I'll hand them over right away. I didn't realize the severity of the situation before, but now that I do, I wouldn't possibly delay it further."

She desperately tried to salvage her reputation.

But the other employees couldn't help but whisper among themselves, "I really thought there weren't any good emeralds in the storeroom. Turns out, she locked them all up."

"Is Ms. Seline really that clueless?"
