Chapter 1340

• Madam Tan took a few steps forward, her expression tense. The assistant quickly handed her the phone, and she hesitated for a moment before reluctantly taking it, her face clouded with frustration. She held the phone to her ear, listening intently as the conversation began.
• Liza, who had just reached the door, turned slightly and noticed the growing anger on Madam Tan’s face. However, Madam Tan quickly composed herself, forcing a smile and speaking in a much gentler tone. “You’re overthinking this. It’s just a small issue. I’ll handle it carefully and make sure the Brook family’s name stays untarnished.”
• The person on the other end of the line seemed dissatisfied, and Madam Tan’s tone became even more soothing, as if she was trying to calm them down. After a few more moments, she hung up, and the anger she had been holding in burst forth. She threw the phone down onto the floor in frustration, the sound of it smashing against the ground making everyone around her flinch.
