Chapter 78 Look Down on Who?
Soon after Suny had just come out of the shower than she caught a glimpse of the champagne roses placed in the vase.
It had been almost two days and that roses were blooming quite nicely.
If she hadn’t bumped into Austin at noon today and didn’t know that the flowers were from him, Suny would have been able to smile and enjoy them for a while longer.
But she knew it and now felt sick looking at the roses in front of her.
She wanted to throw it away, but she had had it for two days, so she had some feelings for it.
But if she didn’t throw it away, she would get upset every time she saw it.
Forget about it, tomorrow the cleaner would come over to do some cleaning and she would ask the cleaner to clean up all the flowers then.
Suny withdrew her eyes, not wanting to bother with the rose again.
There were not many days left in January, and the New Year holiday was only about half a month away.
Next Wednesday was the annual meeting of Phantom. In previous years, Suny was hidden behind the scenes and would not have attended, but this year, it would have been somewhat unreasonable not to attend.
After all, in the eyes of others, she was an outcast from a wealthy family who had nothing to do every day.
Suny flipped through the schedule Rosa had sent her and it was indeed quite leisurely.
She turned off the phone and went to bed.
The black Maybach slowly stopped in front of the villa’s gate, and with a single energy-saving lamp lit inside the villa’s garden, Austin could vaguely see the locked main door inside.
Elijah’s words this evening had sobered him up; Suny hated him now, really hated him.
She should have loved him once, but as she said, it was only once.
From the day of her divorce, she had classified him as a stranger.
It was a truth he had been reluctant to accept for over six months, but tonight, he had to accept it.
Austin opened the window of the car, lowered his head and lit a cigarette, looking at the villa building in front of him and taking a puff.
Elijah was right, he deserved it.
Suny slept soundly and woke up the next day when the alarm clock was on.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
She had an early meeting today at nine o’clock and drove over to Phantom after breakfast.
The Murray family, however, had a morning not quite like any other. As Dorothy was just about to leave the house, he saw Elijah’s car drive in.
Early in the morning, Elijah ran to the Murray family.
Dorothy and Ivy glanced at each other. Elijah simply backed the car out of the garage and got out directly, “Aunt, uncle, there’s something I have to tell you.”
Elijah said, pausing to look at Dorothy: “Uncle, it’s mainly to tell you.”
Dorothy let out a laugh, “What’s the big deal that requires you to come early in the morning?”
Although Elijah was not so uneducated, he was a nobleman, and he certainly would not visit his door on weekdays.
Elijah touched his nose: “It is not my first time coming over so early.”
Dorothy stopped teasing him, “Well, tell me, what’s so important about coming over here specifically to find me?”
Since Elijah knew that the vase was a fake, he had been particularly torn all night about whether to tell Dorothy about it.
Elijah was aware of how much Dorothy liked the vase, if he knew it was a fake, things would not be so easy to pass.
But if it were true, Dorothy and Ivy would have been unhappy with the way Suny acted, not to mention the fact that Ivy was already prejudiced against Suny.
If it wasn’t for Suny, Elijah would not have dwelt on this matter.
Austin had asked him to apologize to Suny last night, so he couldn’t let Rachel bully Suny.
Weighing the pros and cons, Elijah found his conscience and drove over early in the morning.
Hearing this from Dorothy, Elijah said straight out, “That vase that Suny accidentally broke last time was a fake.”
When Dorothy heard his words, his face instantly turned cold: “Elijah, I know about your relationship with Mr. Johnson, and I know about that Suny’s relationship with Austin, but you can’t say these words because of that!”
After learning that day that Suny had had thirty thousand brought in for compensation, Dorothy had also developed a bit of resentment towards Suny.
Elijah wasn’t surprised by Dorothy’s reaction, and he smiled: “I know how much you love that vase, but I’m not just saying this in vain! This is what Austin said to me, asking me to come and give you a warning! The vase was originally a pair. When you bought it, did you hear about the other one? It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe me, but there’s nothing to lose by looking into this matter!”
Ivy couldn’t bear to hear this and raised her hand to hit Elijah: “You bastard, don’t you know what your uncle likes most? He’s had that vase appraised by many people, and you still say it’s a fake! That Suny even had someone come to our doorstep with thirty thousand to insult us, and you’re still helping her!”
Elijah cried out injustice while hiding: “Aunt, don’t be impulsive! I didn’t even mention Suny, so why do you think I’m helping Suny? Besides, if I really had a bad conscience, I wouldn’t have had to hesitate to tell you that night that Rachel pushed Miss Holland! The vase was a fake, but I heard that Rachel had a bet with Suny, so I am afraid that if things get too big, it would be even more embarrassing! If it’s real or not, it’s not a disadvantage to have it authenticated! The vase is broken anyway!”
“No one took you for a mute when you didn’t speak that night!”
Ivy was angry when she thought of what happened that night. Elijah was her nephew, so if he had kept his mouth shut, nothing would have happened but he had to say that it was Rachel pushed Suny!
Dorothy was calmer than Ivy, he did not feel that Elijah had done anything wrong that night.
Dorothy frowned and reached out to stop Ivy: “Alright, don’t scold Envy, Envy is right, whether the vase is real or fake, an appraisal will tell.”
As Rachel had just left the house, she heard the noise inside the courtyard and ran over with her bag, “What are you talking about?”
Elijah glanced at Rachel: “The vase that Suny broke that day was a fake, for the bet between you and Suny, close the deal yourself.”
What should be said had already been said by Elijah, he did not want to be scolded by Ivy, returned to the car and reversed the car and left.
Rachel blushed, “Dad, is what brother said true or not?”
Elijah said it in a very serious way, and Dorothy was confused: “True or not, who told you to go to Miss Holland?”
Rachel suddenly felt weak: “Dad, I just… I just ran into her when I had dinner with Tina. She deliberately provoked me, so I couldn’t help myself…”
Ivy chimed in, “Okay, okay, it’s not sure if it’s true or not! What are you scolding Rachel for?”
“Rachel, what did you bet with that Suny?”
Rachel was terrified by Elijah’s claim that the vase was a fake. When Ivy asked her, she confessed and showed them the video.
When Dorothy read it, he turned blue with anger: ”You! You’re really stupid! I will just leave you alone!”
Suny’s words might sound not a big deal, but what happened that night was not simple, Rachel would have to lose her face by then!
At the beginning he felt that Suny was not simple, but Rachel did not listen to him!
