NovelEnglishChapter 388 Although Lillian had her hair down to cover most of her face, the bruises were still very much evident.
Suzanne furrowed her brows.
"Suzanne, I'm gonna kill you." With a ferocious look on her face, Lillian pounced on Suzanne. Her aggression made everyone in the office jump. Suzanne frowned and stepped back immediately.
Everyone darted over to hold Lillian back. "Lillian, don't be rash." "Exactly. Use your words instead." "We're colleagues. It won't look nice on you if you act out like this." Lillian shoved the woman nearest to her away. She screamed in anger, "It won't look nice? It's thanks to her that I look like this!" Tears streamed down her face continuously.

Glaring frigidly at Lillian, Suzanne defended herself in a displeased tone, "I never laid a hand on you. Don't bleverything on me." She hadn't even made a fuss about it with Lillian when they were at the restaurant.
Even if Suzanne was an emotionless statue, the fact that the injured Lillian was slandering her made her blood boil.
Lillian cried even harder and choked out the words, "Warwick lost his job because of you, so he took his anger out on me!" Her face was hurting, even until now. Two of her teeth had also fallen out, affecting her consumption of food. She wasn't going to just watch as Suzanne cto work as if nothing had happened.
From what Lillian said, Suzanne finally understood the situation. Lillian's boyfriend had beaten her up to let his anger and dissatisfaction out on her.
Peering at Lillian icily, Suzanne said, "Fine. Tell me, then-why did your boyfriend lose his job?" A glint flickered across Lillian's eyes while everyone turned their attention toward her skeptically. Suzanne scoffed. "Are you too embarrassed to share?" She took a few steps toward Lillian and continued in a cold voice, "It was because he took advantage of his the job and took to humiliating others out there. His superior fired him because he brought about a negative impact to his company's reputation. Did I get anything wrong?" It was only at this moment that everyone realized what had happened.
Everyone tried speaking up to console Lillian.
"She's right. It's not her fault." "You should simmer down too. I can't believe that your boyfriend had the guts to beat you up. Let's make a police report and leave it to the police to handle this." Hearing these from her colleagues aggravated Lillian. Pointing her finger at Suzanne, she chided, "How dare you deny that it was because of you when it was your boyfriend who fired him?" At that moment, everyone was shocked. Previously, they had heard Lillian's boyfriend was a manager at Lightchaser.
If Warwick was fired by his superior, just how high of a position did Suzanne's boyfriend hold? Was Suzanne's boyfriend someone so remarkable? Wasn't he the mysterious man who sent her flowers, which she accepted, every day? Everyone formed different speculations in their minds while looking perplexed.
Suzanne had met her fair share of foolish people, but she had never met a woman who failed to see the reality before her eyes.

Looking at Lillian, she sneered, "Firstly, my boyfriend's position is higher than your boyfriend's. He has the right to fire him. Secondly, as an employee of the company, your boyfriend made use of his high status as an excuse to act brazenly, thus ruining the company's reputation.
"Thirdly, he insultedverbally. What's wrong with my boyfriend siding with me?" Suzanne uttered every single word with confidence.
The entire office fell silent. All her points justified her boyfriend's action of getting Warwick fired.
Even if Lillian wanted to let her anger out on Suzanne, her reasons were unjustifiable. In fact, she couldn't justify anything at all. Of course, Lillian was aware of all this. She was simply infuriated. With nowhere to release her anger, she targeted Suzanne.
But now...
Everyone was siding with Suzanne!
Lillian broke down and slumped to the floor. Covering her face with her if she hands, she wailed as if she was releasing all the sorrow and misery within her.
