Chapter 48

Sue blushed, realizing that Sheena was humiliating her. However, she did not back down and retorted

loudly, “Ms. Sheena, it seems that you have some personal motives behind this proposal. Otherwise,

why would you be so defensive? You’ve only been in the company for a few days, and you’re already

pushing for such a costly proposal. It’s quite suspicious. Mr. Lawson, I suggest conducting a thorough

investigation into her!”

Howard slammed his coffee cup on the table with a loud thud. “I agree with this proposal.”

A buzz of murmurs filled the room, and everyone was looking at Sheena in a different light. However,

only Sue was elated, seemingly oblivious to who Howard was referring to.

“Really? Mr. Lawson, do you actually agree with me to investigate Ms. Sheena?”

A stifled chuckle slipped out from someone.

Everyone knew who Howard’s words were directed at, except for Sue, who seemed oblivious.

Howard scowled, “If you say one more word, you can leave immediately, and don’t bother coming in

tomorrow.”

Sue’s face turned pale, the stark contrast between her expectations and reality leaving her stunned.

It was only after a gentle reminder from someone nearby that she reluctantly sat back down.

The meeting continued, focusing on the detailed elaboration of Sheena’s proposal.

Sue listened quietly, but she wanted to find a place to hide from the humiliation. At that moment, she

was filled with jealousy toward Sheena, and it felt almost suffocating.

Why was Howard not interested in her?

If she had an affair with Howard, she would be the one enjoying his protection and affection!

Suddenly, the balding Henry appeared in Sue’s mind.

Just the idea of having to secretly put up with someone as disgusting as Henry made her feel even

more resentful.

Yes! Henry!

Sue believed that given Howard’s attitude toward Sheena, something fishy must be going on with

Henry’s mysterious disappearance, which definitely had something to do with Sheena!

Sue brooded over that for a while.

The latter half of the meeting proceeded smoothly without Sue’s interruption.

After Howard announced the adjournment, he and Yuri were the first to leave.

The others followed suit, gradually emptying the conference room.

As Sheena packed up to leave, her document folder was suddenly held down by a hand with bright red

nails.

Sue smiled and said, “I have something I’d like to discuss with you, Ms. Sheena. Please stay for a

while.”

Sheena did not say anything, but she did not refuse either. Both of them remained in the meeting room

until most of the people had left.

Sue whispered, “Why didn’t Henry attend the meeting? Where did he go? Did you have something to

do with this?”

“Henry? Well, he’s never returning to the company again,” Sheena said casually.

“What?”

Sue widened her eyes in disbelief, gripping Sheena’s arm tightly and shaking her. “He was fired by the

board? Did you do this? Why would you do such a thing?”

It was unbelievable! They just had a discussion last night about how to deal with this scheming woman,

and now he was suddenly dismissed without any warning.

Sheena frowned and pushed Sue’s hand away disdainfully, saying, “He’s suspected of embezzlement

and engaging in inappropriate arrangements with female employees. The company kicked him out, and

he’ll probably spend a decade or more behind bars.”

As she spoke, Sheena took a wet wipe, calmly cleaning her wrist where Sue had touched her, and then

wiped her document folder. Then, she smirked. “This is confidential, and no one in the company except

me would dare tell you. However, since we’ve worked together for a few days…”

Sue backed off in disbelief, feeling her scalp tingle. “So, about last night… Did you know everything?

Were you setting me up?”

Sheena did not answer but simply walked over and sat at the main seat, crossing her legs and flaunting

her exquisite figure.

Despite being slightly shorter than Sue while seated, Sheena exuded a powerful presence, easily

surpassing Sue in every way.

Shena teased, “Sue, since you miss Henry so much, why don’t you keep him company?”
