Chapter 231 Everyone exchanged glances before crowding around the person holding the phone. Even Lillian, despite her initial disdain, moved closer.
The moment she saw what was trending, her expression froze. Without hesitation, she snatched the phone from the person's hands and quickly scrolled through the post.
There it was, blazing in bright red on the trending page: #Jenson To The Rescue- BreakingNews! Lillian tapped on the post, and the headline expanded into a detailed gossip piece. The story described how Jenson had cto Suzanne's rescue, complete with a full nine-photo collage.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe comment section was pure chaos. Jenson's fans were losing their minds. SunshineRain said, "OMG, my little Jen, you're so handsome!" FishyNotHcommented, "This is why I stan this man! He's an absolute legend!" BlushingCloud also chimed in, "Am I the only one who noticed the woman he saved is stunning? They look amazing together!" The entire design department fell into silence, especially the ones who had just been trash-talking Suzanne. So, she hadn't slept her way to the deal, after all. She got the contract because of Jenson.
Macey pulled out her own phone, and the moment she saw the trending post, she smirked. "I told you. She'd never do something like that." She had sensed it from the moment she met Suzanne-this woman wasn't the type to use her body to get ahead. And now, the proof was right in front of them.
Lillian scoffed and rolled her eyes at Macey. "All this proves is that Jenson did a good deed. It doesn't clear Suzanne's name." For all they knew, Suzanne had offered herself up, but Jenson just happened to walk in and misunderstand the situation.
Macey's face turned red with anger. "You-" Lillian wasn't done. Smirking, she crossed her arms. "Oh, don't act so innocent, Macey. We all know why you're defending her—it's because she's Mr. Yates' daughter." Her eyes flashed with mockery. "Try using your brain a little. Speople are worth sucking up to, and saren't." Between Suzanne and Seline, anyone with common sense knew which one had more power in the company. Macey stomped her foot in frustration, her cheeks puffing with rage. "I'm not sucking up to anyone!" With that, she turned and stormed off.
Lillian watched her leave with a smirk before casually brushing her bangs aside. She radiated confidence, completely unbothered.
Meanwhile, others had started whispering among themselves.
"Suzanne is so damn lucky. If only I was the one Jenson saved." "Right? Can you imagine? That's Jenson freaking Lambert!" "He's not just a top actor. He's good-looking, kind, and clearly protective. What a perfect man." If they had known Jenson would show up, they would have been the ones trying to secure the deal with Khalil. What a missed opportunity.
Damn it! Why the hell did everything good happen to Suzanne? It was the late afternoon in Seline's office. She sat at her desk, her fingers gripping her phone so tightly that her knuckles had gone white.

Her eyes burned with rage as she glared at the photo of Suzanne being shielded Ilded by Jeenson. She wished she could stab a hole right through her phone. Why wouldn't that bitch just die already? How dare she get caught up in a scandal with Jenson? Seline had always thought Jenson belonged to her.
Seline was seething, and the room was a mess. Almost everything breakable had been smashed to pieces.
Her phone suddenly rang. Seeing it was an unknown number, her fade twisted with irritation, but she answered anyway. "Hello..."
On the other end of the phone, Cheryl's frantic voice cthrough. You "Ms. Yates it's me-Cheryl: promisedthe money, but I still haven't received it."
