Chapter 373 That Was Fun
Suny looked at him, bantering, "You are a fast learner, aren''t you?"
He brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, "I mean it."
She smiled at him, "Alright, let''s go to the light show."
Whether he meant it or not, she was not able to tell, for his whispers of love were everywhere and in
every moment.
It was the first year that J city had ever held a light show and there was a teeming crowd of people on
the spot. When Suny and Austin walked to the entry, there was a sea of people. Suny turned to Austin
unwittingly, "I suppose you don''t want to go in?"
"Do you?"
"Of course not."
It was so hot and so many people. Even if she could tolerate the hotness, the sweat was uneptable.
Suny never liked to force herself. Though it was a bit far away and the view was a bit blurry, it was
enough for her to see the show.
The show began at eight. Since they had already walked twenty minutes, it started not long after they
arrived.
It was the first time that Suny had ever watched such a show, so it was quite impressive.
But, more importantly, it was because of the person who was by her side.
For all those times she was with Austin, it was the first time that they had attended an activity that was
so down to earth.
The show, themed the Valentine''s Day, was also quite romantic with most people present being
couples.
When the heart-shaped balloons fell from the sky, the couples were all hugging and kissing.
Suny could not help blushing to see a couple not far from her.
Then her face was burning when she felt her waist being surrounded by two arms from behind.
Austin''s deep, hoarse voice wafted into her ear, "I love you, Suny."
The warm breath brushing her ears seemed to envelop her. Her whole body was burning, even the tip
of her heart.
Suny tilted her head a bit and nced at Austin, who was hugging her from behind. The corner of her
lips curved up, "What a nice coincidence. I love you too, Austin."
The minute she finished her sentence, the arm on her waist held tighter.
They remained silent watching the colorful lights before their eyes.
The show was going tost for one and a half hours, but Austin and Suny left when there was still an
hour left.
Since they left early, their way home was rather smooth without the hindrance of busy traffic. It was
around twenty minutes past nine that they arrived home.
Suny went upstairs to take a shower, for tomorrow was a workday while Austin had a call from Robert.
He lifted his brows startled, "Mr. Murphy?"
"It''s me."
He expressed directly, "Mrs. Holmes came to us with two women, saying Suny''s mother was not my
aunt."
His sinct description exined all.
Austin was not an idiot. He understood instantly, "A few days ago, she brought someone to ask for
money from Suny."
It was only a handful of days ago that she reproached Suny for not being a good kid, and now, she was
bringing other people to convince the Murphys that Suny''s mother was not Maryam Murphy who was
abducted years ago. It was quite self-evident whether her words were believable or not.
"I know," said Robert, "Tina has met with her."
Austin turned serious, "I see."
No wonder Robert, who always disliked him, would call him. Tina was involved.
Suny could not help lifting her brow when she noticed Austin was still on the phone after she had taken
a shower. She went downstairs and poured two sses of water. When she was back, he had gotten
off the phone.
She passed one ss to him, smiling, "It was a long call."
Austin looked at her, and repeated what Robert had told him, "I have asked Ivan to deal with it."
If Tina was involved, then Grace must have something to do with the whole thing. And if Grace was
involved, then Anthony could not have been innocent.
It seemed their target was Suny, but essentially, they were aiming at Austin.
Suny lifted her brow, "Anthony seems to be in a pressing situation."
How dare he sabotage her? Were the Murphys keeping a too low profile?
Or was it because he thought the Murphys would not avenge her, ater admitted Murphy who didn''t
even bear the name?
Austin emptied the ss of water, "I''m going to take a shower."
"Okay."
The next morning, Suny received a call from Rosa just after her washing.
It had been a long time since Rosa called her at this time, which suddenly reminded Suny of what
Austin saidst night.
"Morning, Rosa."
"Morning, Miss Hond." She paused, "Miss Hond, there were some rumors on the inte about
you and the Murphys."
Suny clicked her tongue, "What were they?"
It seemed her guessing was right.
"Last night, Mrs. Holmes posted a video on Facebook…"
The video was postedst night and was reposted by several influential ounts and went popr in a
short time.
In the video, Mrs. Holmes, Maryam''s foster mother, was crying with two other women about how Suny
took up their identity. She vowed solemnly that she did not buy Suny''s mother, who, instead, was sent
to her by her rtives. It was quitemon that poor families at that time who were unable to raise a
child would send their children to other rtives, which rendered her words believable. She even

disyed a recording of Maryam''s so-called real mother.
All the evidence in the video indicated that Suny''s mother was not the lost child, and therefore, she was
not Charlie''s granddaughter.
Soon, the voices on social media were criticizing how Suny had taken other people''s identities for
wealth and money.
The whole thing aggravated at midnight when Rosa was already asleep, so she was informed by her
assistants in the early morning, and aware of Suny''s bedtime routine, she did not call until now.
After learning the whole thing, Suny felt nothing but ridiculous, "For now, just leave it."
After all, if it was fake, it could not be true, and vice versa.
It was so typical of Mrs. Holmes to weave webs of lies for money.
But she was just a country bumpkin after all. If Suny could make her pliant thest time, she could still
teach her a lesson, easily, this time.
As for why she forbad Rosa''s meddling, that was just due to her little idiosyncrasies.
She supposed Anthony was probably having a good time?
Then she was going to let him have that good time and entice him to sink into his own delusion until he
fell from the highest point.
That was fun.
