Chapter 68 What Kind of Tricks Do You Want to Play?
“Hey-”
Elijah wanted to warn Rachel, but before he could finish his sentence, Rachel ran away.
He took a look at Rachel who had already run away, hesitated for a moment, and finally took out his mobile phone to call Austin.
He regarded Austin as his good friend.
However, his good friend obviously didn’t take his kindness seriously, and refused to pick up his phone.
Elijah felt that Austin would not answer his phone, so he had to send Austin a message before he went back to the dinner table.
At this point, the dinner table was still calm, and Elijah thought the evening would be uneventful, but he didn’t expect that he would actually be the trigger for a war.
It happened when Elijah had just taken his seat, and Ivy introduced him to Suny: “Suny, this is Elijah, my nephew.”
No sooner had Ivy finished speaking than Rachel spoke up, “Mom, why are you wasting your time? What is the relationship between brother and Austin? Suny fore sure knows brother.”
Rachel said, but Suny sat there, her expression unchanged: “Miss Murray is right, I know Elijah.”
Ivy gave Rachel a warning look, but Rachel didn’t want to take it lying down: “Mom, why are you looking at me like that? I didn’t say anything wrong! Besides, who doesn’t know about Miss Holland’s divorce from Austin?”
Steven was her godson, whether she liked Suny or not, but Steven had brought Suny over for dinner and Rachel had directly disgraced Suny, naturally Ivy would not condone her: “Are you going to eat or not, go back to your room if you don’t. Why are you so talkative? You can even find a job.”
Rachel wimped out and didn’t push any further.
Steven also saw more, he asked Suny in a low voice, “Shall I take you away?”
Suny looked at him with a smile, “It is okay.”
It was nothing compared to what she had suffered before.
Even if Rachel were to scold her today, she would still have the means to anger Rachel without making a scene or scolding her.
After saying that, she glanced at Ivy: “Miss Murray’s words are correct, the matter of my divorce from Austin is indeed known to everyone. But I don’t think the Saunders family has the requirement of not allowing Steven to marry a divorced woman, right?”
Yes, so what if Rachel made a fuss, so what if Ivy did not like her, Steven was a member of the Saunders family.
Ivy’s face froze, but she quickly reacted and smiled: “Suny, don’t bother with her, she just can’t find a job and has been at home for a long time and has developed a temper. She is not against you, she’s usually like this. Let’s eat, this is the lobster from Australia, try it and see if you like it.”
Rachel was not stupid, she naturally understood Suny’s words, she lowered her head and did not dare to say anything else.
Elijah felt surprised. He used to think that Suny was smart, and that she was a gold-digger.
But this was the first time he had seen Suny talked to her so straightforwardly today.
He should have known to record a voice!
“Thank you, Mrs. Murray.”
Suny politely thanked her, but did not move the lobster meat she had chucked over in the slightest.
As Steven’s godmother, she was an elder of Steven’s. But since she entered the house, Suny had been calling her “Mrs. Murray”.
So she did not like Steven?
Ivy was immediately unhappy.
The meal was very rich and it was clear that Ivy really did see Steven as her son.
The incident at the beginning of the meal did not affect Suny in any way.
After the meal, a few people sat in the living room’s sofa.
During this time, Steven asked Suny if she needed to leave early, and Suny declined.
She didn’t want to please the Murray family, but she didn’t want Steven to have a bad time with the Brooks family either.
Steven saw that she was not in any discomfort and had to press the urge to leave.
Suny was not dealing very well with both Ivy and Rachel, and Steven could see that, just what exactly was going on was not very clear.
But Suny was a guest today, just like him, and he was half a host anyhow, and did not want to condescend to Suny.
Soon after they sat down, Dorothy Murray came back. When he saw Steven, he was so happy that he let Steven go up to his study and talk to him.
Once Steven left, Rachel couldn’t hold back any longer.
Ivy wan angry and ignored it.
“Miss Holland, you didn’t have a good tour last time you came to our house, right? Let me show you around.”
In the face of Rachel’s unkindness, Suny only swept her a faint glance, “Miss Murray, since you are so enthusiastic, sure.”
After she finished, her charming eyes hooked slightly and she looked at Rachel with a smirk.
Rachel was inexplicably vain from the look, but when she thought of what had just happened at the dinner table, she immediately said: “Then let’s go.”
Suny responded and got up after her.
Elijah, who was watching the drama, hesitated for a moment, but still called out, “Wait, I’ve too much food, I want to talk a walk too.”
Rachel glared at Elijah: “Brother, don’t you have to go back to the company?”
“I have settled it, no need to go back.”
Rachel: “…”
Suny looked at Elijah with a smirk, sensing her gaze, Elijah looked down at her.
When he saw her smiling charming eyes, Elijah touched the back of his neck sheepishly.
What a good friend he was!
As Elijah followed, Rachel didn’t know how to mess with Suny, so she had to lead her to browse the expensive decorations in her house.
When she introduced those wall decorations paintings, her words were full of smugness and outlook, yet Suny stood there without a trace of self-abasement or shame on her face.
Rachel was furious: “Oh, I’m sorry, I forgot, Miss Holland, you had been Mrs. Johnson for three years, so you might have seen a lot of famous paintings, right?”
Suny said, “I don’t have much appreciation ability, I can’t tell the difference between real and fake.”
She made a light-hearted remark, and insinuated about Rachel.
“A painting worth hundreds of thousands, our family will not have a fake painting!”
“I don’t mean that.”
Rachel felt like she was rushing to explain.
She was so angry that her face turned red, and looking at Elijah on the side, she was even angrier!
Suddenly, she seemed to think of something: “Right, there’s a Qing Dynasty bronze and silk enamel vase downstairs in our house, want to take a look? That vase is over three million!”
Rachel finished her sentence and looked straight at Suny, she was convinced that “three million” could attract Suny.
Suny smiled: “Sure.”
She wanted to see what kind of tricks Rachel wanted to play.
The group went down to the ground floor, and the vase was the one Suny had seen when she first entered.
It probably didn’t occur to anyone that the vase sitting on the counter opposite the entrance door was worth over three million.
Suny noticed the vase as soon as she entered, and after looking at it for a while, she took out her mobile phone to take a picture.
Rachel said: “Do you want to send it to your friends? Our family likes to keep a low profile, so if you send it, it’s best not to mention our family.”
Suny took a picture and put her phone away before turning her head to look at her, “Okay.”
Rachel gritted her teeth, “This angle is not good, why don’t you come over here?”Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Suny thought about it and literally walked over, then took out her phone and took another picture of the vase.
However, as she was just about to put her phone away, her back was suddenly pushed hard, Suny didn’t struggle and directly pounced on the vase.
