Chapter 17 Control the People Around You
“Miss Poole, what a big mouth! Believe it or not, I’ll tell my son, and you’ll have to be withdrawn from the entertainment industry tomorrow.”
Hearing that, Alicia was practically dying of laughter, “Old demon woman, go ahead and tell him, if I, Alicia, can’t stand up in the entertainment industry tomorrow, I’ll come to your house and kowtow to you!”Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Grace was so angry that her face turned blue: “You, you, do you have any etiquette!”
“Etiquette depends on the person, and you, an old demon woman, are not in the human category and do not deserve my kind words.”
Over the years, Grace had been used to suppressing Suny, and Jennifer had always curried favour with her, so she thought everyone was really afraid of her.
But now that she had met such a prick as Alicia, Grace’s face was so angry that it turned red and blue at one point.
Suny used to contradict her, but Suny wasn’t so unrestrained.
Grace simply turned her attention to Suny who was sitting on the sofa: “Is this the kind of friend you’ve made? Relying on men only! No upbringing, no moral character! No wonder you guys can make friends, you’re basically the same kind of people.”
Suny’s face instantly went cold as she stood up straight and looked at Grace with a cold snort, “No matter how bad we are, we are no match for Old Lady Johnson’s feat of abandoning her husband and son back then!”
The whole of J City knew about Grace taking a sum of money and going away with her lover, but nowadays few people dare to mention it, and Grace was almost deluding herself into thinking that it was over.
Today Suny suddenly brought it up, which made her furious.
Grace was not simple when she was young, but only over the years she knew that the gentry were concerned about reputation and followed the camouflage.
Since Suny had exposed her past, she threw the iron coat hanger at Suny, “Shut up, you bitch!”
Suny dodged the hanger sideways, Alicia was startled and rushed to protect Suny: “You old demon woman, how dare you?!”
Suny raised her hand and pulled Alicia away, glanced at Jennifer, snorted coldly and took out her phone to call Austin’s secretary.
Ivan had just come out of the conference room and he didn’t expect to receive an unexpected phone call.
When he saw the caller ID, he was startled and he hurriedly pressed the answer button, “Miss Holland?”
“It’s me, please ask Austin to come over to the counter on the fourth floor of Central Plaza and get rid of his bad old lady and his new bitchy girlfriend, I will give you half an hour, if you come late, don’t blame me for being ungracious!”
“Miss Holland -”
Before Ivan could ask what was going on, Suny had already hung up.
He looked down at the incoming call that had been on his screen for but ten seconds, and Ivan’s was stunned for a moment.
This was the first time he had seen a sulking Suny. He had the impression that Suny was always gentle and generous, having been married to Austin for three years, and he never seemed to have seen Suny angry.
Who else could the bad old lady be if not Grace?
And that Austin’s bitchy girlfriend was, he thought, the candidate for Austin’s marriage in recent times, Jennifer.
Ivan instantly reacted and hurriedly knocked on Austin’s office door.
“Mr. Johnson.”
“Say it.”
Austin, who was signing papers, had a cold look on his face, and Ivan gritted his teeth for a moment, “Just now Miss Holland gave me a call.”
The hand flipping through the document suddenly stopped and Austin looked up at him, “Oh, what did she say?”
Was it possible that she regretted the divorce?
Heh, there was no use regretting it, there was no way he was going to remarry a woman like her!
Ivan didn’t know what Austin was thinking, he only knew that Suny’s words couldn’t be said as they were, so he had to change his way of expression, “Today Madam went out shopping with Miss Dawson, it seems that they ran into Miss Holland and there was a conflict, do you think you should go over and take a look?”
A “slap” sounded inside Austin’s head.
The slap was invisible, yet more embarrassing to him than a real slap.
He sank his face and gave Ivan a cold look, “What’s there to see?”
Ivan stiffened and stood there with Austin looking at him.
But Suny’s words just now did not sound like a joke, and he had heard a lot about Suny over this period of time.
He found that this former Madame Johnson was not quite what he had expected.
“Mr. Johnson, Miss Holland seems to be very angry, you’d better go over and take a look.”
Austin put the pen down in his hand, “What did she say in her original statement?”
Ivan shuddered, “I, I don’t dare to say.”
“Say it!”
“Miss Holland said, please ask Austin to come over to the counter on the fourth floor of Central Plaza and get rid of his bad old lady and his new bitchy girlfriend, I will give you half an hour, if you come late, don’t blame me for being ungracious!”
Ivan was a qualified secretary, and he was able to repeat such a complicated and awkward passage word for word with complete accuracy.
Just as he finished speaking, Austin’s face became more than simply cold and frightening.
Austin only felt his temples bursting, every word of Suny’s words were like a thorn in his side, making it uncomfortable.
He had never liked to get involved in these women’s affairs, but today, Austin couldn’t help himself.
“Get the car!”
“Yes, Mr. Johnson!”
Ivan breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly exited to have a car ready, fearing that Austin would regret it.
Meanwhile, Suny had just persuaded Alicia to calm down, and she looked straight at Jennifer: “Miss Dawson, you are really too idle, and since you like to stir up trouble so much, then I will do as you wish.”
She said, pausing for a moment, “I’ve already informed Austin’s secretary to have Austin come over, do you suspect that I divorced and shared your family’s money? Then let your son tell you personally whether I asked for your family’s money or not!”
“And Miss Dawson, since you don’t dare to look for Austin and come to me instead, I’ll help you out with that today!”
Grace was so angry that she had lost her mind. She was pelted by the clothes Alicia threw at her, and if Jennifer hadn’t stopped her, she would have fought with Alicia.
Now hearing Suny mention Austin, Grace was much calmer and coldly snorted as she straightened, “That’s just right, better make things clear!”
Seeing that both sides had managed to calm down, the shop assistant hastened to separate the two parties and pacify each of them.
This square was not far from KLOC and Austin came soon.
Just as he entered, he saw Suny sitting beside Alicia at first glance.
She wore a plain dress today, and she sat there without hiding her shapely figure.
Seeing him, Suny stood up directly and walked up to him with cold eyes, “I know that you are too busy with your work, but you should also give your family an account of exactly how the divorce between us went. Don’t let your family members, like rogue dogs, pester me and make me sick.”
“And control the people around you, one more time and it won’t be as simple as asking you to come and collect them like today.”
After saying that, Suny looked back at Alicia, who froze for a moment, reacted and hurriedly picked up her bag and went after her.
Austin stood there, his face pale.
