Her Hidden Crowns (Suzanne and Austin) novel Chapter 303

Henry's eyes settled on Suzanne. Wasn't she the one who had secured Khalil's order previously?

He leaned back in his chair, his voice gentler. "Suzanne, give it your all."

Suzanne hesitated, her cold stare locking on Henry. Goosebumps covered her skin, and she felt a chill run through her. Something felt wrong.

She furrowed her brows. What was he doing this time?

Henry's expression clouded over. Why was she responding like this? He was actually trying to be nice for once, and she appeared as if she had encountered a specter. Was he being too permissive?

He inhaled deeply, suppressing the anger that was rising within him. He needed to maintain control.

Seline had been observing Henry intently. When she noticed him holding back his anger, a sense of relief washed over her. Her strategy appeared to be effective. Now, she just needed to wait for them to implode on their own.

Without acknowledging Henry and his daughter, Suzanne headed directly to the front and set up the equipment. Once her design appeared on the screen, everyone was astonished, their eyes wide with wonder.

This... This was absolutely amazing!

With just one look, it was obvious there was a gap between them and Suzanne. Even Seline, who was a designer with moderate skills, could notice the distinction.

At that point, Suzanne started to explain in a calm and soothing voice, "Valessian-style architecture is the epitome of elegance when it comes to aesthetics, and its structures are highly esteemed. The collection I've designed features a full set which consists of a necklace, earrings, a ring, and a hairpin."

Anyone who had been feeling sleepy or nodding off suddenly perked up. This was undoubtedly a masterpiece. It was absolutely astounding.

Suzanne looked around the room at the others before continuing her explanation. "The design prominently incorporates emerald inlays and a unique lion motif along the ridge, representing family prosperity and social status. It's a concept with deep significance."

Her level of thinking was beyond what they could match. Additionally, the fluid elegance of her design, paired with its grand yet gentle look, evoked the softness of an elegant lady.

Henry felt a wave of joy.

Suzanne looked up at Seline and sharply responded, "If I earn an award, it's for myself and the company. How does it concern you, Henry?"

The mood in the room plummeted immediately. Everyone's expressions shifted, and they fell silent. All of them instinctively turned their gaze to Henry.

Suzanne was certainly daring, confronting him so openly. It was quite intense.

Henry's expression darkened at once. He fixed his eyes on Suzanne and cautioned in a hushed tone, "Suzanne, remember your place."

What exactly was she aiming for?
