Chapter 344 Actually, I Don’t Know for Sure
Suny also noticed the way Albert looked at her. It did not occur to her that he was bold enough to have some inappropriate affection for her. A little bit too bold, wasn’t he?
Suny averted her attention to Austin, smiling, “Mr. Brooks’ there.”
Hearing her voice, Austin softened his face and nodded.
Most people who came to the party tonight were familiar with Suny and Austin. In addition to acquaintances like Elijah and Antonio, Rachel and Parker were also here.
Maybe it was because Suny did her a favor at the auction last time, Rachel appeared to be less venomous, “Miss. Holland.”
Suny cracked a smile, “Nice meeting you here, Miss. Murray.”
But they could hardly be counted as friends. If anything, they were more like enemies.
Soon after Suny said hi to Rachel, Elijah and Antonio came to them.
“Austin, Suny.”
Elijah raised his chin and glanced at Rachel, “Rachel’s here too?”
Knowing the four of them were quite close, Rachel simply greeted him and left with Parker.
But she looked back at Suny when she had walked a few steps away, who was standing beside Austin.
That Austin was not Maddox’s son had spread all over the J City this morning, including the chatting room of Rachel’s girlfriends.
What the rich young ladies cared more about was not the future of KLOC but whether Suny and Austin would break up this time.
Although Suny did her a favor at the auction, she had lost twice before her and had been immensely humiliated, so she was not going to change her opinion about her just because of that.
It was quite remarkable that she could greet Suny cordially now. As for other moves, forget it.
But when the girls were talking about whether Suny would abandon Austin, Rachel said no, unusually. She didn’t know the exact reason, but somehow she just knew.
Ever since the last auction, Rachel had always thought about the past things.
Four years ago, when Suny married Austin, she naturally disliked her since she was Tina’s friend and both Tina and Grace hated her. She and Tina even secretly set Suny up many times.
Now that Tina was kicked out by Austin, she had fewer connections with her. It was not because she thought Tina was inferior, who, though was no longer Miss. Johnson, still lived a higher-than-normal life. But when hanging out with them, the truly wealthy girls who would spend hundreds of thousands in shopping, Tina appeared to be lagging behind.
And she realized that herself. Gradually, they became less intimate.
Without Tina talking bad about Suny, Rachel, who was much more mature as she grew up, was a little impressed by Suny’s love for Austin. Though they were back together, Austin, who was said not to be Maddox’s son, and whose staying at KLOC remained a question, would no longer be an ideal match for them now that he had lost his silver spoon. No matter how much they liked him, they were well aware of the reality.
But when it came to Suny, she felt differently.
Although she hated to admit it, Suny was formidable.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
When she divorced Austin, she had nothing from him and built her own empire from scratch. Now, her asset was more than a billion.
For a woman of such kind, Rachel naturally felt they could have the life they want without asking their husband for help because they could afford to live such a life.
Well, Suny would seem less repulsive if she thought in that light.
“What are you thinking, Rach?”
Hearing her boyfriend’s voice, Rachel returned from her contemplation, “Parker, do you think Miss. Holland is impressive?”
Parker knew the past events between Rachel and Suny, so he did not answer immediately, “You want to hear the truth or..?”
“What’s the truth?”
Parker smiled, “She is.”
If it were him, Parker probably wouldn’t have had the courage and insight to begin bare-handedly.
Rachel pouted, “What about the not true?”
“Nothing special. Just looks pretty.”
Rachel hummed coldly, “Either way, you are complimenting her.”
Afraid that Rachel might get angry, Parker explained, “It’s not what you think. I mean, she probably has traded something with her pretty face.”
Rachel looked at Suny who was not far away. She seemed friendly and gentle, but in fact, she was unapproachable.
Rachel would not believe she was that kind of woman, “Well, it’s not necessary to defame her.”
Parker smiled, “Don’t you hate her?”
“Women always like to hate women who are better than themselves, which they hate to admit.” Seeing Rachel said so candidly, Parker added, “It won’t do you any harm to get along with Miss. Holland.”
“I know.”
But she was unable to let those past frustrations go.
On the other side, Suny was unaware that a simple greeting at the party could give Rachel so many feelings.
When Tate approached them, she left knowingly, giving privacy to the four of them.
Not long after she left them, Jasmine, coming out of nowhere, approached her, “Suny!”
Suny hadn’t seen her for a long time, “Jasmine.”
“You still look so gorgeous, Suny.”
Suny beamed at her, “How’s your work?”
It was two months or so since Jasmine had graduated from college. When they were playing mahjong Saturday, Antonio mentioned that she had so much work that she had little time for star chasing.
Jasmine raised her hand to cover her eyes for she could no longer stare at Suny’s beautiful eyes, “It’s alright and the work’s a little bit too much.”
“How’s the money?”
Jasmine felt the situation pressing, “Suny.”
Stop it.
Suny stopped bantering her, “Take care of yourself.”
“I will.”
They hadn’t seen each other for quite a long time. Jasmine came to her birthday party, but since there were too many people to attend, Suny did not talk much with her.
As they were chatting, Jasmine asked abruptly, “Is it true? The thing about Austin?”
Suny sipped her drink, “Actually, I don’t know for sure.”
It was not that she was trying to hide things from Jasmine, it was just she really had no idea.
The evidence put forward by Grace all pointed out that Austin was not Maddox’s son. But Suny believed, although Maddox was quite mediocre his whole life, the old Johnson was not.
When Grace came to the Johnsons with little Austin to ask for a large sum of money, it was impossible that the old Johnson would just give her the money without making sure Austin’s identity.
It may be easy to fool Maddox, but not the old Johnson, who had initiated an enterprise like KLOC. He may have a slow response as he ages, but he wasn’t a fool.
It was simply impossible that he had not thought about that.
Jasmine nodded and looked at Austin and Elijah who was not far away. After making sure they could not hear their voices, she said quietly to Suny’s ear, “If it was true, are you going to leave him?”
