Chapter 297 The Gift From Suny
After they returned to the banquet hall, Suny searched around and saw the two women, who were looking guiltily back at her. They were Winnie’s friends – one was Jean Chambers, and the other was Patricia Anderson. Suny never would have thought that Winnie’s two best friends would still be concerned about her after Winnie was sent overseas.
Austin looked down at her, “Do you find them?”
“Yes, Miss Bates’s friends.”
Austin didn’t know them, but he could find those guilty eyes.
After Master Murray finished his speech, a one-meter-high cake was wheeled out. Rachel’s cousin Max helped Master Murray make the first cut on the cake, and then Max cut the cake into small pieces. Max and Rachel brought a few pieces of cake to Austin, Elijah, and the people with them.
“Miss Holland.” Rachel forced a smile.
She didn’t want to do it, but Suny came with Austin today. So, she had to pay respects.
Suny accepted the cake with a brief smile, “Thank you, Miss Murray.”
Rachel probably had wised up. No matter how much she didn’t want to, she pretended to be nice.
Suny didn’t like sweet food, so she didn’t eat too much, and Austin didn’t eat it at all.
“You don’t like cake?”
Elijah cut in, “Austin doesn’t like sweet and greasy food.”
It occurred to Suny that she had ordered a piece of cake two days ago, but she didn’t t want to eat it after two bites. She tentatively asked Austin if he wanted to eat cake. It was supposed to be a joke because she didn’t really want him to eat her cake. However, Austin took the cake from her hand and finished it all. That was a sweet and greasy red velvet cake.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Suny glanced at Austin, “Is that true?”
“Big mouth.”
Elijah didn’t say anything wrong, right?
Tate laughed. “Mind your behavior next time.”
Suny smiled as well, “Thank you for your information, Mr. Brooks.”
Elijah couldn’t follow what these people were talking about. At this time, Master Murray came over with Max and Rachel. “Mr. Johnson, Mr. Brooks, Mr. Isaacs, Mr. Read, It’s my honor to have you here.”
Elijah said, “What are you talking about? We respect you and only came because we liked you.”
“Elijah, you are good at words!” laughed Master Murray.
Master Murray looked at Suny, “Is this Miss Holland? You are so beautiful! Elijah, look at Mr. Johnson, and look at you!”
Elijah said, “That isn’t my fault.”
Suny gave him a faint smile, “Thank you, and happy birthday.”
It was the first time Master Murray had praised Suny, but there were many guests today, Master Murray quickly went to entertain other guests.
At the end of the banquet, Suny and Austin left and Elijah had to stay since he was Ivy’s nephew.
“Suny, I want to go to the bathroom. You come with me?” Jasmine offered.
“Alright.”
Jasmine took her hand and left. Austin looked at Antonio with dissatisfaction.
“You should tell her.” Antonio didn’t want to lecture his sister.
“Suny, you busy? I’ll have a party at home. You should come!”
“I’ll go when I’m available.”
“That’s a deal!”
Suny and Jasmine then entered the bathroom. Just then, someone came in from outside. They were Ivy and Rachel.
“Mom, what gift did Suny bring?”
“What do you expect? She brought some Earl Grey worth only a few grand.”
Suny was clever. Master Murray loved to drink tea. Moreover, except for close friends, most of the rest guests chose tea and tea sets. Suny’s gift was tolerable and decent.
“I thought she was going to give us something fancy. She said she got the real vase in her house! Why didn’t she give it to Grandpa? I knew she was just bluffing!”
“Mums the word! Suny’s gift is not fancy, but don’t make people think the Murrays are a craze for her gift!”
Jasmine stormed out of the stall angrily, “You guys just pick on Suny, right? Otherwise, why would you only pay attention to what she had brought?”
This was Jasmine’s first time arguing with someone. She glared at Ivy and Rachel angrily.
“You’ve gone too far. Suny was pushed into the water on Master Murray’s last birthday. You didn’t send anyone to save her, and even let people watch it! Why can’t you let it pass?”
Ivy didn’t expect Jasmine to be there.
Then Rachel snorted, “Why are you defending her? Aren’t you afraid that she’ll seduce your brother? You’ll regret it!”
“I want Suny to be my sister!”
Suny laughed in the bathroom stall. Ivy and Rachel subconsciously looked in the direction of the laughter. When they saw Suny coming out, their faces went pale.
