Chapter 49
“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?”
Hearing her answer, the officers approached her with a stern look.
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 come with us.”

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 came to 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 provoke me or 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,

Thud!
Sue slumped to the ground when she heard Sheena saying that this was her company.
Her surname was also Lawson!
Sue covered her mouth, completely at a loss for words, unable to pull herself together even when the
officers came forward to escort her away.
Having dealt with the two terrible employees, Sheena finally found some peace 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 come over 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.
