Chapter 100 Pathetic Indeed
Austin’s presence made Regan keep an eye on the situation, and the more Regan thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.
He knew all the big shot in C City, but Cloud View Hotel had changed ownership three years ago, and the new owner had never showed up. It had no impact on their family, so he did not pay attention to it.
He didn’t expect that after living for nearly sixty years, he would admit defeated in front of Suny.
Regan held this anger until he got home, and just after he got out of the car, he asked in a stern voice, “Who the hell is Suny?”
Margot, who had just gotten out of the car, shuddered when she heard this.
She was not stupid. The reason why she dared to join hands with Joshua to try to lay hands on Suny was even if Suny was powerful, she was not as powerful as the Woods family.
But after seeing Austin just now, Margot knew she was wrong.
Suny was an abandoned wife of a powerful family and she did not get a penny!
These were all labels that were stapled a year ago, and privately they didn’t stop laughing at Suny, who was, after all, a popular figure in the whole school back then.
People don’t like to see others having a better time than they do.
But what she saw today was clearly not all the same as what was rumoured on the internet.
Austin was not heartless towards Suny, she had seen too many men bewitched by that face of Suny’s. Despite her reluctance, Margot had to admit that Suny was indeed very attractive to men.
The Woods family was a hegemon in C City, but in front of the Johnson family, the Woods family had to be polite and courteous.
Austin had residual feelings for Suny, and with what he knew today, the Woods family was bound to be restricted in every way in the future.
“Margot!”
Regan, however, looked directly at her, “If I remember correctly, you said Suny was your high school classmate!”
Regan had been building up his authority for a long time, Margot’s face turned white when he glanced at her: “Dad, I, I haven’t seen her for almost ten years! I’ve only heard about Suny on the internet, she’s Austin’s ex-wife, and the two of them already divorced a year ago.”
Margot didn’t dare to say more, she was afraid she would say anything wrong.
Regan, however, misunderstood, “No wonder Austin knows her.”
“How did the two get divorced?”
At this time, Joshua said with a smile, “I know about this, Dad! Back then, Suny got married because she saved Austin’s mother, and she asked Austin to marry her as a reward. The divorce was because Austin couldn’t stand her money worship!”
“Money worship?”
“Yeah, Dad, I’m telling you, this slutty bitch Suny is not as decent as you see her, when she was …”
Margot did not say a word since she entered the Wood’s.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
She didn’t want Regan to pay too much attention to Austin and Suny’s relationship, at least not until she got her compensation and divorced Finnley.
Regan frowned after hearing Joshua’s words, “I know.”
After he finished, he coldly swept a glance at Margot and finally looked at Joshua: “You pack your things and go to Z City!”
As soon as Joshua heard this, he was not satisfied and grumbled, “Dad! I don’t want to go there, what a shitty place. It is not a big deal, why did you make me go there!”
“Who are you to bargain with me? Wasn’t what happened last night humiliating enough?”
Joshua didn’t dare to say anything at once: “Got it.”
Regan pressed his temple: “The others go back, Margot and Finnley stay!”
Margot’s back went cold, knowing that Regan was going to deal with her.
Regan just dealt with Joshua before laid hands on her, and now Margot did not even have the chance to say no.
With 5 million in cash compensation and a house in a decent location, she was kicked out of the Woods family.
Suny did not care what happened to Margot, but she could have guessed.
After Margot married into the Woods family, she was arrogant high-profile, made a lot of enemies. Those rich second generation who were friends with her, after learning that she was kicked out of the Woods family, deleted her contact information and posted her news online.
Alicia was so well-connected that she sent the screenshot to Suny.
“Awesome! I originally thought you were just going to deal with her! I didn’t expect you did that!”
Suny laughed as she put the dumplings away, “Regan is quite fast.”
When Alicia on the other end of the phone heard that, she couldn’t help but frown: “Ashley said that Regan is not easy to be messed with, so you have to be careful.”
“It is okay.”
“When did you get so tolerable?”
Suny raised her eyebrows, “Why don’t you think I’m wise?”
Feeling fooled, Alicia decided to change the subject, “You are really not coming over for New Year’s Eve dinner tonight?”
“No, you guys spend it together.”
“Will you feel lonely?”
Suny let out a tsk, “No.”
Today, on New Year’s Eve, Suny was spending it alone.
There was a lot of activity inside the community, but it had little to do with Suny, who was all by herself.
She made a few home-cooked dishes for herself.
In her memory, she used to watch TV with her parents sitting around a small round table.
She did not have a rich family. Her parents had saved for twenty years before they bought a small house, but short after they had lived there, they died.
Alicia was right.
It was indeed a bit pathetic that at such a time of joy for all the family, she was having a bowl of dumplings.
The snow had stopped today and just after dark, there were children inside the neighbourhood setting off fireworks.
Suny finished the last of the dumplings before going to take a shower and go to bed.
This day was no different from every day she had ever spent, except that she was homesick, but she no longer had a home.
On the day of the melting snow, Suny rented a car and went to the cemetery.
Suny’s parents died together in an accident and were buried together.
The two tombstones were a bit dirty from the snow, she took out tissue and wiped them clean, then took out the dumplings from the thermos: “Dad, you were wrong, I can make dumplings now, although they are not as good as mum’s, but I won’t starve myself.”
It was already after one o’clock, so Suny scooped a dumpling into her mouth, “It doesn’t look good, but it’s quite tasty.”
She said after a pause, “But you won’t be able to eat it, so just watch it, it’s stuffed with cabbage and pork, Daddy likes it best.”
When Suny finished speaking, she didn’t say another word and bowed her head to finish the dumplings.
Her body warmed up, she was silent and pat the snow on her clothes before she got up, “Mom, Dad, I’m homeless again.”
When Suny said this, her voice was very soft, as if it could dissipate when the wind blew over.
Austin stood at the back, across the stranger’s headstone, listening to Suny’s words, his heart seemed to be empty, and the cold wind blew through, making his heart cold and aching.
