Chapter 359: 358 is just a group of clowns, last words before death? (2 more updates)

Sussie Lopez only smiled, "My home is here, why can’t I come back?"

"I really admire you, you’ve got such thick skin, sneaking into M & R by hiding your identity and trying to seduce Mr. Hale, and now you’ve even managed to secure projects from both the Payne and Hale families..."

Finn Robinson glanced at her, his gaze filled with disdain.

"You are truly scheming!"

Sussie Lopez’s breath hitched, ever since she had entered M & R, Assistant Robinson had shown great hostility towards her.

"The projects with the Payne and Hale families were not initiated by me, Assistant Robinson, please watch your words."

"That’s not important, I’m warning you, stay away from Mr. Hale!"

If it were before, Sussie Lopez would have already turned pale with fear.

She was well protected by her senior brother and had not suffered much, faced with Finn Robinson’s difficulties, she suddenly didn’t know how to cope, and even began to reflect, questioning if there was something inadequate about herself.

But that was the past, she was different now.

Sussie Lopez only smiled, "What if I said ’no’?"

"You..."

Finn Robinson hadn’t expected her to respond that way, looking at her, a hint of surprise was evident in his eyes.

"First of all, I’m no longer an employee at M & R, there’s no need for me to listen to you, and whether I’m close to Mr. Hale or not, you have no right to say."

"You only dare to talk to me like this, why don’t you go and tell Finn Hale?"

"Tell him I’m an evil woman, let him blacklist me."

Finn Robinson’s complexion slightly turned green.

"What, don’t dare?" Sussie Lopez sneered coldly.

"Does Mr. Hale know that you act like this outside?"

"It’s been a few years, you’ve really become quite sharp with your words!" Finn Robinson gritted his teeth, "Sussie Lopez, tonight is a grand event in the architectural design industry, if you still want to continue in this circle, I advise you to leave early."

"Otherwise, you’ll have reason to cry later!"

"I guarantee that I will make it impossible for you to continue in this circle."

Sussie Lopez chuckled lightly, "What do you want to do?"

"Don’t you know what you have done?"

"We both know very well, it’s quite pointless to pretend."

"Northern Architecture..." Finn Robinson’s eyes brimmed with mockery, "a bunch of clowns that can’t make it big."

"You talk about me, why attack the entire studio!"

Finn Robinson sneered coldly, "To ask such a question, you really are shameless."

"Indeed... you said you were to work as an assistant in our studio, but what happened? You only thought about how to attract Mr. Hale’s attention, even taking advantage of him when he was intoxicated, intending something untoward. To do such shameless acts, it wouldn’t be odd to do other things."

"Sussie Lopez, if I tell Junior President Payne about the things you did previously, what do you think he would think?"

"Since you’ve already cozied up to Junior President Payne, you should be content."

"Mr. Hale, you’re not worthy of him!"

...

After Finn Robinson finished speaking, his phone vibrated; it seemed Finn Hale had arrived, and he quickly straightened his clothes and hurried away.

Sussie Lopez was somewhat dazed.

Was Finn Robinson an idiot, still thinking he could make her fail in this circle? Such grandiose talk.

But she always felt there was a hidden meaning in his words, listening left her confused.

Her phone vibrated, it was a call from Zoe Payne. Sussie Lopez then adjusted her emotions and re-entered the venue where Finn Hale had already arrived, dressed in a simple casual suit, standing distinct with a star pin on his chest, notably eye-catching.

Surrounded by people, he was like the moon attended by stars.

In this circle...

Finn Hale was the unattainable moon.

Proud, aloof, unparalleled.

Finn Robinson followed behind him, a stark contrast to his aggressive demeanor from earlier.

When she was still at M & R, she had heard other colleagues mention:

"Assistant Robinson is a devoted admirer of Mr. Hale’s career."

"And he’s crazy about his career! Any obstacle that might hinder Mr. Hale’s success, he would eliminate one by one."

Everything he did seemed to serve Finn Hale, and for him, he would do anything.

At that time, Sussie Lopez was young and only felt that Finn Hale was truly fortunate to have such a supporter and assistant by his side to handle all the daily trivial matters.

Apart from drawing design sketches, Finn Hale barely had to worry about anything else.

But gradually, she began to notice that Finn Robinson’s mentality was somewhat twisted.

Yet, he always maintained a good image in front of Finn Hale.

When Finn Hale noticed Sussie Lopez, their eyes met for just a brief moment before he looked away and continued chatting with his colleagues.

"Miss Lopez..." Zoe Payne had just appeared.

She was dressed in a simple long dress, with a large silhouette and a low waistline, appearing casual and relaxed. The hem of her dress floated like a cloud suspended in the sky, light yet layered.

Wyatt Hale was dressed in a British suit, exuding an innate frosty air.

Yet he gently held her hand, the extreme contrast sparking envy among many present.

"Brother’s wife, you’re so familiar with each other, yet you still call her Miss Lopez? That seems a bit too distant," Michale Shaw, who had come with them, stood tall in his suit, which was paired with a floral shirt.

"After all, she’s also your lifesaver."

"She might be a few years older than you, calling her ’sister’ shouldn’t be too much, right?"

Zoe Payne glanced at him:

You’re always meddling!

She was aware that such a form of address was somewhat distant, but she couldn’t really call her sister, after all...

She might be her elder in the future.

It would be better to keep it formal.

"How I should address her is none of your business."

Michale Shaw rubbed his nose, not understanding why his sister-in-law reacted so strongly, but it was Wyatt Hale who nudged his arm, "Bro, just stop meddling."

Michale Shaw was bewildered.

This is meddling?

This brat is really becoming more and more displeasing.

What’s been going on lately?

It feels like things have been going awry.

He went to greet Finn Hale, but this elder glanced at his outfit and commented, "Last time, you dressed like a Christmas tree, and this time you’re cosplaying as a peacock?"

Michale Shaw instantly felt emotional.

This is retro Hong Kong style, very fashionable, don’t you have any taste!

Somewhat angered, he found a seat to sit down.

Each studio had designated seats. Due to Zoe Payne’s special relationship with Tim Payne, the Northern Architecture Studio, which was supposed to sit in the back, was arranged in the front.

Next to Tim Payne was Finn Hale.

When Declan Saunders arrived hurriedly at the venue and saw the seating arrangement, he paused for a few seconds.

Especially since Finn Hale even took the initiative to greet him, "Mr. Saunders, right? We’ve met before."

"I’m honored you remember me despite your busy schedule."

"I just saw the design sketches you submitted..."

His gaze lightly overshadowed others.

But Declan Saunders felt as if an invisible hand instantly seized his throat, making it difficult for him to breathe. His heart raced so fast that he dared not look directly into his eyes, only to hear Finn Hale faintly say:

"Your designs are good, you should gain something tonight. Congratulations in advance."

Declan Saunders pursed his lips, "Thank you, Mr. Hale, I too hope to achieve something and not leave empty-handed."

Sussie Lopez frowned.

This atmosphere felt off.

Tim Payne raised an eyebrow:

This guy, why does he talk in such a weird tone?

His tone didn’t sound like a congratulation but rather like he was giving...

Last words on a deathbed!
