Chapter 36: Crashed into Pieces
“Don’t cry.” Suzanne comforted her and whispered, “Karen will look down on you. She just said that Mr. Hook asked her to come. She haven’t got the job yet. Don’t worry. I’m here.”C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Nancy obediently nodded and stood behind her with reddened eyes.
“Why do I feel that there is a big conspiracy behind it?” Myron touched his chin with one hand, feeling very interesting.
Earlier, he felt that Suzanne was quite hostile toward this woman called Karen Morgan. So the two of them really were rivals.
“What conspiracy is there?” Suzanne smiled. She tucked her hair that was stuck to his cheek behind her ear and coldly glanced at Karen. She said faintly, “It is just that the higher one’s position is, the greater one’s authority.”
“Suzanne Reid, what do you mean?” Seeing that Suzanne’s tone was targeting her, Karen was a little unhappy. The smile on her face was gone, replaced by a cold one.
“Did I say anything to you?” Suzanne found it a little funny. “You’re the one who thought I was targeting you.”
“Do you think I don’t understand?” Karen huffed coldly. She glared at Suzanne with disdain in her eyes, and even her tone was full of sarcasm. “Even if I have a background, I’m still one of them. I’m not like some people.”
The smile on Suzanne’s face gradually disappeared.
“Hey, I didn’t say anything!” Seeing that Suzanne was slightly angry, Karen felt relieved.
Pursing her red lips, Karen smiled and waved at Suzanne. She held her handbag with one hand and brushed past her shoulder with a hint of pride in her words. “Sorry, I need to go to the restroom.”
“I’m so handsome. Why did she ignore me?” Myron looked at Karen’s back and then turned to Suzanne with a smile on his face. “Do you want my help? I can punch her twice to vent your anger.”
“How can I let a man help me in a battle between women?” Suzanne smiled and shoved the bag into Nancy’s arms. Her posture was elegant and noble. “I’m going to the washroom as well.”
“You’d better not be disfigured, or I’m afraid Edwiin will feel very distressed.”
Suzanne gritted his teeth, glared at him, turned around, and left.
Why did he always bring up what she was afraid of?
When Suzanne went into the washroom, she happened to see Karen doing makeup in the mirror. Seeing her coming in, Karen just glanced at her briefly and then turned her attention to the mirror.
“Miss Morgan, we need to talk.” Suzanne walked straight in and leaned against the sink with her arms crossed, directly stating his purpose.
“What’s there to talk about with you?” Karen glanced at her out of the corner of her eye and snorted coldly. “If it’s about Nancy’s job, then forget it. Everything is done by capable people. Can you blame me if she can’t do it?”
“Miss Morgan, you majored in accounting. Why don’t you be a good financial manager instead of a hard-working host?” Suzanne smiled. “You won’t get many benefits by working in this industry, and you’ll be scolded.”
“It’s none of your business.” Karen straightened her back. When she saw that Suzanne was as tall as her, she couldn’t help feeling a little unhappy. She didn’t expect that Suzanne would also wear high heels today, so she couldn’t use her height to suppress Suzanne.
“Who said that those who major in accounting can’t change professions and be hosts? Since I have the ability, why can’t I take office? Do you think your family is in charge of the whole TV station?”
“Ability?” Suzanne blinked and looked Karen up and down. There was a hint of a smile on her face. “Other than being pretty, I really haven’t seen anything else.”
“Suzanne, you’re deliberately making trouble for me, aren’t you?” Karen pulled a long face and said in a sharp tone, “Don’t pretend to be a good person all day long. Since you want to help Nancy so much, why don’t you give up your position to her.”
“If she wants it, I can give it to her.” Suzanne looked as if she didn’t care. “Unfortunately, our work is different. My job is not suitable for Nancy.”
“Besides.” Suzanne paused. She leaned forward slightly with a polite smile on her face, but her tone was unusually cold. “Karen, if you want to replace Nancy, you’ll have to see if you have the ability to do so.”
Karen had always hated Suzanne’s calm demeanor, which didn’t show any negative emotions no matter how hard she tried to suppress him. When she saw Suzanne standing so close to her and even mocking her, she couldn’t help getting angry. She reached out to push Suzanne hard and scolded him. “Bitch!”
Suzanne didn’t expect her to push her. She took two steps back and lost her balance. Her high heels tilted and she fell to the side, her arms hanging on the clean sink.
It was like something shattered. The sound was a bit ear-piercing.
Suzanne felt a pain in her wrist. When she struggled to stand up, she found that the jade bracelet on her left wrist had been broken into several pieces, and a sharp jade had pierced the skin on her wrist.
“Oh my God!” Suzanne stared at the pieces of jade on the sink with her eyes wide open. Her face was full of disbelief and her body trembled slightly. She didn’t even know how to curse Karen.
This jade bangle was given to her by Edwiin on her 19th birthday. At that time, Suzanne felt that the jade bangle was too expensive. If it broke, she would be distressed and always put it in the box.
Later, the watch she had worn for several years broke, and when she happened to see the jade bracelet in the box, she put it on her wrist and wore it until now. The jade bracelet was also crystal clear.
After seeing her precious bracelet broken into several pieces, Suzanne was sad.
If it was broken into two pieces, she could use it to repair the shop. After the shop master’s repair, it was still a complete bracelet. Now that it was broken into three or four pieces, even if she took it to the jade shop, the shop master would not dare to repair it.
“Do you need to do this?” Seeing Suzanne pick up the broken pieces of jade carefully with a distressed look, Karen said disdainfully, “It’s just a cheap bracelet.”
Suzanne took a deep breath. She straightened up, turned around, and slapped Karen in the face. She was so strong that Karen’s head tilted to one side.
“Okay, 960, 000 dollars! You must compensate me!” Suzanne roared, clenching her fists tightly.
Karen held the cheek that was slapped by her, as if she was scared by the price.
After a long while, she came to her senses, and then her face was full of sarcasm. “You can’t make so much money as a TV host in ten years, but you can afford this kind of bracelet. You are really open-minded.”
Suzanne took a step forward and glanced coldly at Karen. “People say that people with bad characters have dirty thoughts. I’ve finally seen it today.”
