Chapter 69 I Don’t Like It When People Misunderstand Me
The vase instantly fell to the ground and shattered into two pieces.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Suny hit the cupboard where the vase was kept, and her waist hurt from the impact.
Elijah did not expect Rachel to be so bold, this vase was something that Dorothy had spent a lot of effort to find.
As soon as the vase hit the ground, Rachel shrieked, “Oh my God! What are you doing? Can’t you stand still?”
She made a pre-emptive strike, concluding that there were only three people at the scene, and Elijah was her own cousin, who wouldn’t prefer to help an outsider rather than her.
Suny actually knew what Rachel wanted to do when Rachel asked her to go there to take photos, she had just seen that there was a camera in front of her, the angle was such that when she came over here, the camera only saw her stumbling towards the vase and could not capture Rachel pushing her from behind.
Rachel kept screaming and cursing and Elijah couldn’t bear to hear her and pulled her.
Rachel glared at Elijah: “What are you pulling me for? This vase was broken by her!”
At this time, Ivy, who was originally in the living room on the second floor, came running down: “Rachel, what are you calling for? What happened?”
When she saw Ivy, Rachel hurriedly complained, “Mom, Dad’s vase was pushed over by her!”
Ivy saw the vase broken into two pieces on the ground and her face changed, “What the hell is going on here? This vase…”
“What else could it be? It’s just her! She wanted to take a picture and post it to her friends, so she came over here to take the picture, but she didn’t stand properly and jumped straight at the vase!”
After that, Rachel snorted, “I wonder if she did it on purpose!”
The vase was Dorothy’s treasure, it was just placed at the door, but in fact Dorothy personally cleaned it, and no one else could touch it except himself.
As for why it was placed at the door, it was because Dorothy wanted to see the vase every day when he came back!
Even if Ivy didn’t want to make a big deal out of it, it was now out of her hands.
Her face instantly turned cold: “Miss Holland, I’m afraid it’s a bit troublesome.”
At this time, Suny, who had been silent, spoke up, “Do you want me to compensate?”
Rachel said, “Compensate? Can you afford to pay for more than three million? Besides! This vase is unique, so what if you can afford to pay for it, can you buy back the exact same one?”
“I shouldn’t have taken you on a tour, after all these years, you still are green and inexperienced!”
Elijah frowned, “Rachel, that’s too much!”
“What’s too much? It’s not like I broke the vase, if she had been able to stand still, would the vase have broken?”
Although Rachel was still shattering, her voice was getting smaller and smaller when she saw Elijah’s face, she was afraid that Elijah would expose her.
Suny looked at Elijah with a wry smile and said indifferently, “I really am green and inexperienced.”
Hearing that Suny was calm and unruffled, with no admission of fault, Ivy could not suppress it: “Miss Holland, the vase is broken, it is your responsibility. Rachel is right, you do have to compensate, as to how to compensate, that will be up to my husband to decide.”
Suny snorted, just at that time, the mobile phone inside her bag suddenly rang.
She looked at Ivy: “Excuse me, Mrs. Murray, I’ll take a call.”
Ivy’s face was very bad, but she had to agree.
She looked at the vase that was broken in two pieces, her breathing was unpleasant, “Whatever.”
Suny swept a glance at Elijah, took her phone to the compound and answered it, “Did you find out?”
“Yes, Miss Holland, our vase is the genuine article, this vase is a pair, the vase owner split it up and sold it, one was sold to Mr. Saunders and later purchased by us, the other is with the previous chairman of Yongsheng, that one has always been in his hands, there has been no record of any transaction.”
Rosa said, pausing for a moment: “The original owner told Mr. Saunders that there was another place where this pair of vases could be authenticated, and that was on the top of the second petal, where the number of stamens was the same as the number of flowers in the entire vase. As for the photo you sent over just now, I had an expert identify it, it is an imitation fake, with a maximum value of no more than thirty thousand.”
“Okay, I know.”
Hanging up the phone, Suny looked inside the house, where Dorothy and Steven had both come down.
From the expression on Dorothy’s face, she could tell that this vase was indeed his treasure.
Suny let out a soft sigh, and wondered if Rachel would be beaten.
She put her phone away and walked in.
Steven walked up to her: “Are you okay?”
Suny shook her head, then looked at Dorothy with a smile, “Mr. Murray, although I couldn’t stand still because Rachel pushed me, but no matter what, the vase was accidentally broken by my own hands, in terms of compensation, you don’t have to worry, I will definitely pay for it.”
When she said this, Rachel got angry, “What are you talking about? What do you mean I pushed you? You fell because you could not stand still. If you don’t want to pay compensation, just say so, our family is not the kind of family that is short of this kind of money!”
Ivy was shocked and looked at her daughter and then at Suny.
If this vase was really broken because Rachel had schemed against Suny, it would be even harder to settle the matter!
Steven was her godson, but Suny was considered Steven’s girlfriend, so Ivy could naturally tell which was more important.
“Miss Holland, Rachel is right, you don’t want to compensate or can’t afford it, just apologize, why do you have to say such words?”
Dorothy’s face was tense, he just looked at Suny soberly, but did not take a position.
Steven felt that Suny was not that kind of person and could not help but speak up, “Godmother, how much is the vase? I will pay for it, but I believe Suny is not someone who would lie.”
He said, looking at Suny, “Suny, let’s go back, I will solve this matter.”
Suny didn’t move, “I don’t really like it when people misunderstand me.”
She said, pausing for a moment, and inclined her head to look at Elijah who had been watching the show from the side, “Miss Murray and I aren’t not the two people present at that time, whether I fell on my own unsteady feet or was pushed by someone, I think the third person present should have seen it clearly.”
“Mr. Brooks, what do you think?”
Rachel froze when she heard Suny’s words, and she subconsciously looked at Elijah and gave him a wink.
Elijah glanced at Rachel, and then glanced at Suny.
He didn’t know if it was just his illusion, but he always felt that Suny’s smile had something special in it.
If it was the usual case, he would have opened his mouth to help Rachel without hesitation, but today, Suny was looking at him with such a smile, and Elijah always felt that if he lied, he would be unlucky later.
Elijah did not want to be unlucky, remembering the bad things he had encountered during the time when Austin had just divorced Suny, he still had palpitations.
Although he knew that those things were mostly unrelated to Suny, who knew?
After struggling for a while, Elijah opened his mouth, “It was indeed Rachel who pushed Suny.”
