“You wouldn’t dare!”
Sue noticed Sheena sitting at the main seat in the meeting room and finally realized what Sheena meant. She stammered, “W–What do you mean?”
Sheena smirked confidently. She merely stared at Sue, refusing to give her an answer.
Sheena’s smile made Sue uneasy, and the aura she emanated sent shivers down her spine.
“Lunatic! You’re nothing but a lunatic!” Sue ridiculed, taking a couple of steps backward. However, four officers entered the meeting room just as she was about to turn and leave.
They politely knocked on the door and asked, “Is there a Sue Klein here?”
Sue froze. “That’s me. What’s the matter?”

Sue’s face was instantly ashen as she stuttered, “A–Are you mistaken? I’m a law–abiding citizen!”
“We’ll determine whether you’re innocent or not. Please cwith us.”
“No! I won’t go with you!”
James and Tony were jailed, and she could not hide what she had done. Initially, she had hoped that Henry could protect her, but he was already long gone.
Sue did not want to be imprisoned. If she ended up behind bars, her job and her future would be ruined!
A thought suddenly cto her, and she hurried over to Sheena’s side. Sue squatted at Sheena’s feet and held onto her hand as she pleaded, “It was you who called the police, right? M–Ms. Sheena, I surrender. I’m sorry! I was just jealous. That’s why I plotted against you. Please forgive me! Please!”
Sheena lifted Sue’s chin gently with her fingertip, locking eyes with her, and smiled. Then, she said, “You’re only apologizing because you’re scared and desperate. You know how much of this is actually sincere.”
“No! I truly mean it. I was wrong, Ms. Sheena. I’m sorry!”
“Sue, if you were just being childish and tried to provokeor climb up the corporate ladder using Henry, I would’ve just fired you. However, you surprised me, and I underestimated you. Sending you to jail is the only option.”
Sue lowered her head as she cried, furious at how arrogant Sheena sounded. She vowed to destroy Sheena once she got out of this situation.
Nonetheless, Sue hid her evil thoughts and sobbed, appearing remorseful. Just as she was about to speak, she remembered a crucial phrase from Sheena’s words. “You said you were going to fire me?”
How could a mere talent manager fire anyone?
Did she think that she owned the company just because she was involved with Howard?

Sheena leaned slightly forward, sneering as she whispered into Sue’s ear, “I never told you, but this place you’re at right now belongs to me, Sheena Lawson.”
Sheena enunciated each word clearly when she mentioned her name, her eyes glinting dangerously.
The main seat of the meeting room was like a throne, yet Sheena’s petite figure perched there, seamlessly fitting in and radiating an aura of regal elegance.

Sue slumped to the ground when she heard Sheena saying that this was her company.
Her surnwas also Lawson!
Sue covered her mouth, completely at a loss for words, unable to pull herself together even when the officers cforward to escort her away.
Having dealt with the two terrible employees, Sheena finally found speace for the next couple of days.
It was almost noon, and Sheena was busy at her desk.
Yuri knocked on the door and entered, saying indifferently, “Ms. Sheena, Mr. Lawson has an urgent matter to discuss with you. He’d like you to cover as soon as you’re available.”
An urgent matter?
Judging by Yuri’s expression, it did not seem like good news.
Without delay, Sheena tidied up in minutes and swiftly made her way to the top–floor office. As soon as she opened the door, Sheena found Howard sitting in his office chair with his back to her, with his head tilted upward as if examining a painting on the wall.
