Her Hidden Crowns (Suzanne and Austin) novel Chapter 246

Suzanne was so young. Could she really be Jane Smith?

Though Suzanne and Shane had heard rumors before, seeing Frankie in person still shocked them.

Shane masked his expression with a smile and introduced, "This is Dr. Smith, Jane Smith."

Frankie and Todd were dumbfounded. The elusive expert they had been searching for so long turned out to be such a young woman?

Shane couldn't be bothered to look at them and instead turned to Suzanne. "This is Mr. Lloyd, and this is Todd."

If Shane weren't so well-versed in controlling his emotions after years in the business world, he might have already lost control and knocked them to the ground.

They actually dared to lay a hand on Suzanne!

He could barely stand the thought of letting her lift a finger, yet these two had the audacity to hurt her?

Frankie and Todd quickly composed themselves, their faces shifting into fawning smiles as they greeted Suzanne with careful respect, "Hello, Dr. Smith."

Frankie extended his hand for a handshake, but Suzanne merely glanced at him and responded with a nod.

She had no intention of shaking hands and instead walked past them, heading inside.

Frankie's hand stiffened in mid-air, his face flashing with awkwardness. Though inwardly displeased, he dared not show it.

After all, Jane had a well-established reputation, and now, she was Todd's last hope. Offending her was simply not an option.

Todd's eyes were practically glued to Suzanne.

Even with the mask covering her face, her figure and the effortless elegance she carried were undeniable. There was no doubt that whatever lay beneath that mask had to be stunning.

If only he could get her into his bed…

Shane's expression darkened. Some people just never changed! That bastard's body was in that state, yet he was still thinking about that? And now, he had the audacity to set his sights on Jane?

Unbelievable! Did he really think he was worthy?

Suzanne lifted her gaze, her cold eyes locking on Todd. "Why the rush?"

In an instant, Todd felt as if he had been encased in ice. He dared not respond and could only sit stiffly to the side.

Frankie quickly forced a smile to ease the tension. Looking at Suzanne, he said warmly, "Dr. Smith, I've heard of your remarkable skills. As long as you cure my son, you can name your price. Whatever you want, it's yours. "

"Whatever you want"—the weight of those words made it clear how desperate they were. Suzanne sneered inwardly.

Yet when it came to ruining young women's lives, they had never considered that most people couldn't afford the kind of treatment Todd needed now. The Lloyds were as ruthless as ever.

Her gaze landed on Todd, cool and detached. "It's just an illness. It's nothing serious."

Frankie and Todd immediately brightened.

Frankie, relieved and elated, stepped forward excitedly. "Then we'll be counting on you, Dr. Smith."

Suppressing her discomfort at the thought of touching Todd, Suzanne finally looked at him and said, "Let's begin."
