Her Hidden Crowns (Suzanne and Austin) novel Chapter 312

In the end, Suzanne still couldn't bear to punish Henry. She considered the fact that he was her father, and she still cared about their father-daughter relationship.

She lifted the corners of her lips. "I know what you mean, but I'm growing too, aren't I?"

Austin pursed his lips and remained silent.

She picked up the glass of water on the table and took a gradual sip. After hydrating herself, she continued, "Winning the gold prize will be my first step in planting myself in Yates Corporation. However much Henry takes away, he'll have to return it eventually. Before that, I want him to suffer a little.

"If I take away all hope just like that, it would become a bore if he stops resisting or struggling."

As the look in Suzanne's eyes turned firm, she no longer looked reluctant.

In the end, Austin did not comment on it either. He would be her support no matter what, and he would not watch her suffer.

After a slight pause, he looked at Suzanne and said, "Be careful in everything you do."

That was the most important thing.

Suzanne lowered the glass in her hand. Looking back at Austin, she responded, "I will."

Austin continued fixing his eyes on her while they chatted about their daily life. Then, they bade each other good night and ended the call.

When Suzanne watched her phone screen turn dim, she actually felt a little strange. She wasn't used to the sudden quietness that came around her. She frowned. She wasn't too fond of this feeling.

Refusing to entertain that thought any further, she put her phone, face-down, on the table. Then, she got up and headed straight to the bathroom.

…

Thanks to the PR department stepping in, news about Marsha's hospital visit did not get exposed ahead of time. This allowed Marsha to breathe a sigh of relief. Once news about her hospital visit was released, Suzanne would question her about why she was there. If that happened, it would be very unlikely for her to keep it a secret any longer.

Even after going through their options, they had not found a suitable actress for the role. The second female lead's parts were also an important part of the show that they could not just brush over.

Marsha sighed, clearly expressing her worries on this matter too.

Out of everyone in the entertainment industry, there wasn't anyone who was fit for this role.

The actress who played the second female lead needed to have good looks and a gentle personality. At the same time, they couldn't be too pure. They also had to have an appearance that was different from the female lead's but still be well-matched with hers.

It was only in this way that this show would be interesting enough for the audience.

Also, the actress taking up this role could not have had any work done to her face.

Marsha lowered the script in her hands. Scratching her head, she uttered in a rather frustrated tone, "We're only ten days away from going to the desert up north for filming. We have to make a decision as soon as possible."
