Chapter 226 Jenson glared at Tanya with icy eyes and asked in a frosty tone, "So, why did you go out and lock the door?" Tanya was at a loss for words upon hearing this question.
She stuttered, "I-I didn't..." However, her explanation was feeble.
Jenson dismissed her excuse and continued with a warning, "Don't think I'm unaware of your intentions. Have you considered the consequences of messing with someone who's mine?" Everyone around was taken aback. What did he mean by someone who was his? Suzanne frowned, displeased with Jenson's words. Didn't he find it distasteful to speak like this now? Previously, he avoided discussing such matters. When they were dating, he refused to go public, and now that they had broken up, he was behaving this way. Was it because it involved Jane? Hmph! Tanya's expression changed drastically.

Jenson was adored by all his female fans! How could he have any connection with that woman, Suzanne? Khalil was even more shocked, his gaze darting between Suzanne and Jenson. Though he had his suspicions earlier, the confirmation left him astounded.
He reached up to wipe the cold sweat from his brow, relieved that he hadn't acted harshly toward Suzanne. The consequences of such an action were unimaginable.
He sneaked a glance at Suzanne, admiring her stunning beauty and pondering potential opportunities. However, he quickly quelled these thoughts, stepped forward, and attempted to defuse the situation with a smile, saying, "It's all a misunderstanding, my fault for being too hasty." As Khalil gritted his teeth, he vowed that once Jenson lost interest in Suzanne, he would ensure she learned a lesson. He couldn't let go of his anger without seeking revenge.
Tanya felt a sudden tightness in her throat upon realizing Khalil wasn't going to take action. This meant she couldn't retaliate against Suzanne.
Suzanne stood up and cast a cold glance around the room. "Since the contract is signed, I won't be staying for the meal." She turned to leave, gathering her things.
Jenson, concerned, called after her, "Suzanne, letgive you a ride." Suzanne paused, looked back at Jenson, and shook her head to decline. "No need. You have plans with your friends. It wouldn't be right for you to leave now." If Jenson hadn't assisted Suzanne today, she wouldn't have acknowledged him at all. Her response was purely out of courtesy.
Jenson was caught off guard when he noticed Suzanne's gaze toward him softening a little. Her reaction seemed to be a result of being moved by his recent help, prompting her sensible demeanor.

Stepping forward, Jenson stood before Suzanne and gently touched her head; With affection shining in his eyes, he said, "Alright then. We'll handle it together next time." Suzanne instinctively stepped back to avoid Jenson's hand and replied coolly, "Okay." She then turned and exited the private room.
Tanya watched Suzanne leave, her fists clenched tightly. She was nearly driven mad with jealousy. Why was Jenson being so kind to Suzanne? Suzanne was merely the disowned daughter of the Yates family!
Jenson assumed Suzanne had left m due to shyness, which caused an slight smile to appear on his lips. He felt quite pleased. It seemed there was hope for getting Suzanne's help with the scripts. Tanya looked at Jenson with anxiety and began to speak, "J-Jenson..." But before she could finish, she sensed the coldness radiating from him, causing her smile to freeze.
Jenson completely disregarded her and walked away.
Khalil, who had been grinning moments earlier, now frowned. He glared at Tanya and coldly remarked, "Hmph, is this how Yates Corporation treats their clients?"
