Chapter 321 Austin Will Propose Tonight?
Austin raised his hand and wiped her lips, “What’s the matter?”
Suny looked up at him, remembering the things Grace said an hour ago, and the tone of Austin telling her about his relationship with Grace before, Suny hesitated for the first time.
Who were his parents if Austin was not from the Johnson family? In other words, he was just a tool used by Grace to enter the Johnson family. If that was the case, it must be a brutal truth for Austin. Under the circumstance, Suny was reluctant to tell her lover the facts.
Seeing that she didn’t speak, Austin’s brows raised, “Did she scold you?”
Hearing his words, Suny came back to her senses and shook his head, “No, not at all.”
She said, lowered her eyelids, and looked at Austin holding her hand. Suny pursed her lips, “She showed me some materials about you.”
“What materials?”
“The paternity test result of you and your father Maddox, as well as you with Kasper.”
Suny raised his head and looked straight into his eyes, “You’re not the son of Maddox and Kasper.”
Austin looked at her, and his eyes swiveled around. “Did she give you those materials because she wanted you to help Kasper?”
“That is right.”
Suny responded, and grabbed his index finger, “Austin, are you okay?”
Suny moved a bit and said, “If you felt sad, can I hug you?”
This was the first time Suny had encountered such a thing.
Austin was of course depressed. He didn’t seem to have enjoyed any kind of affection in the past twenty years. Even though he was so powerful and capable, he sometimes couldn’t help but wonder if he was so bad that it would lead to his biological parents hating him.
Mr. Johnson senior liked him only because Maddox was unreliable, and Mr. Johnson senior had only one son, Maddox, and he happened to be his best son.
But now, he knew that he was neither Maddox’s son nor Grace’s son.
This was like a joke. Austin looked at Suny, whose beautiful eyes normally crinkled softly but were now full of worry.
He raised his hand and took her into his arms, “Just a few sad.” But not so sad.
The shackles that had trapped him for so many years were completely broken at this moment.
Austin suddenly laughed, “It’s not easy for Grace to hide this secret for such many years.”
It had been hidden for so many years, and now she was willing to reveal this secret for Kasper’s sake. Grace had made up her mind to fight back desperately.
Suny looked up at her, “I rejected her. She should be on her way to find the collateral branch of the Johnson family.”
“I’m not a member of the Johnson family anymore. If she wanted to spill it out, she had done so many years ago. But she mentioned at this moment, there must be something else involved. She may not go to the Johnson family at this stage.”
Austin was indeed correct. On the way back, Grace did have the idea of spilling the truth to the Johnson family, but when she returned to the villa and calmed down, she hesitated. It was a fact that Austin was not her biological son, but the collateral branch from the Johnson family had long been eyeing KLOC and kept the company and shares in his pocket. She didn’t have KLOC’s shares herself, but Kasper had. Although not many, if KLOC could continue to prosper like this, it would be enough for Kasper to live for a lifetime.
The collateral branch of the Johnson family was all monsters and demons. If KLOC fell into their hands, how much could Kasper get annual dividends? Grace was smart enough to get a position in the Johnson family.
Austin was not a member of the Johnson family. She held such a big secret that she could threaten Austin. If this secret was exposed, things might be worse. She couldn’t make things worse. Austin may have already learned the truth about his identity from Suny. It wouldn’t be long before he would send someone to contact her. At that time, Grace would have the capital to negotiate for Kasper.
After all, Suny had lived with Grace’s mother-in-law for three years. As soon as Austin said it, she reacted quickly. “If this is the case, she may still be waiting for you to fall into the trap.”
Austin glanced at her, “Be my guest.”Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Suny smiled, “Okay then.”
But there was not much time left for Kasper. The victims were unwilling to forgive and insisted on prosecuting. It was a criminal offense that could not be forgiven.
Although Kasper had been released on bail pending trial, the case would go to trial within two months. Grace was waiting for Austin to come according to the plan, but there were no signs from Austin to visit.
Time flew and another week passed.
On Suny’s birthday this year, Alicia held a small party like what she did last year. The difference was that Austin and Elijah both came to the party. Jasmine prepared a gift for Suny very early. It was an enamel doll she made by herself. It wasn’t very delicate, but it was very cute.
“Hello, Suny, happy birthday, many happy returns of the day!”
“Thanks.” Suny took the gift, and Elijah and the others came in from a distance, “Happy birthday, Suny.”
“Thank you for your wishes.”
Looking at the gift in Elijah’s hand, Suny couldn’t help raising his eyebrows, “Elijah doesn’t write me a check, do you?”
Elijah cleared his throat. “Certainly not.”
Suny glanced at him with a smile. Antonio and Tate on the side also handed over gifts, and Suny took them one by one and thanked them.
“Where’s Austin?” Elijah looked around but didn’t find Austin. Looking at Suny, who was wearing a long skirt, beautiful and elegant, a dirty thought suddenly popped into his mind, and he almost blurted it out.
Suny raised his finger and pointed behind Elijah, “Answering the phone.”
Tilting his head and following Suny’s sight, Elijah saw Austin. Elijah couldn’t help but snort, “Who is it? He must answer at this time.”
Suny smiled and looked at Antonio and the others, “Thank you all very much for attending my birthday and bringing nice gifts as well as wishes. I do appreciate it. Enjoy yourself at the party, Elijah, Antonio, and Tate.”
Antonio nodded, “Sure, it will be a nice party.”
Suny walked over to Alicia after a reply.
Seeing Suny walking away, Elijah walked to Antonio’s side, “Will Austin propose tonight?”
Antonio glanced at Austin not far away, “Who knows?”
Tate glanced at Elijah, “Why don’t you ask Austin?”
Elijah became smarter, “I won’t go. I am not a fool at all!”
He took a sip of juice, and just putting down the glass, he saw Antonio and Tate looking at him with faint smiles that indicated, “Well, you are a fool.”
What’s wrong with you people? If he had been able to beat them on the spot, he would have given them a lesson.
It wasn’t just Elijah and Austin’s friends who were curious about this question. Seeing that Austin was not there, Alicia lightly nudged Suny, “Austin will propose tonight, won’t he?”
