Suny had just finished breakfast when the villa doorbell rang at 9 am.
Austin said, "I'll go down and have a look."
"Okay." Suny took a sip of warm water and went upstairs to get changed.
After Suny changed, Austin hadn't come up yet. She went downstairs, and surprisingly, she met Grace at the door. Since the last time Grace stopped them at the door about Tina, Suny hadn't seen her and Tina for a while, but she didn't expect that they would come today.
Grace didn't walk over, just standing at the door and watched.
The sun rose high at this time. Suny and Austin felt hot after standing for a while, so they turned around and went back to the villa. Grace became anxious when they were walking away. She ran over to pluck at Austin's sleeve. "Austin, that's your younger brother!"
Austin peered down at his wrinkled sleeve, and frowned, "What he did is against the law."
"No, that's not so serious. You can settle the case with the victim by sending Ivan to offer some compensation and issue a letter of understanding. Kasper can get off easily!"
"Since you have already communicated with the victim's family who does not agree to reconcile, do you think Ivan can make any change?"
Austin raised his hand and pushed Grace's hand away, turned around, slammed the door, and returned to the villa.
Grace was such a bummer early this morning!
Austin had a long face, and when he looked up to see Suny, his expression softened.
Suny handed him a glass of water. "Grace came twice. What happened to Kasper?"
Austin raised his head and took a sip of water. "Last week, Kasper hit someone after drunk driving, and the victim was experiencing a brain death. His father is the general manager of a branch of KLOC. The victim's family does not accept the reconciliation."
Austin's explanation was concise but to the point, and Suny soon got the picture.
It was not the first time Kasper was drunk driving. Last year, Kasper did it once. She insisted on calling the police and sent Kasper to the police station where he was detained for more than ten days. Now again but he went even further. Grace couldn't solve the problem with money, which was the reason she found Austin.
The general manager of the branch of KLOC did not care about the money, even though Grace offered millions of compensation. The only one who could help her was Austin.
Suny glanced at Austin, "Are you going to help?"
"Of course not." He had helped Kasper a few times before, and in the past, he could smooth it over with money. Now, hitting a person into a vegetative state was no longer something that could be solved with money. Furthermore, Austin was tired of being used to wipe the shits of Grace, Kasper, and Tina. He had no feelings for Grace and those so-called brothers and sisters. Not kicking Grace and his siblings out of the Johnson family after Maddox passed away was the best Austin could do for them. But they were too insatiable and too restless.
From the day they were out of the old house, Austin never thought about asking about their situations. Grace had hundreds of millions left by Maddox. Both Kasper and Tina were already twenty-five or six-year-old. He had no obligation to take care of them.
Aware of Austin's irritability, Suny raised her hand and hugged him, "Then, let's drop it."
Austin peered down at her, the irritability in his heart gradually subsided, and he responded, "Sure."
Suny looked up at him, reached out, and took the water glass in her hand, "How about going to the boxing gym today?"
Hearing her words, Austin moved his eyebrows, "Why not? I'm going to change clothes."
Austin raised his hand and rubbed her head, then went upstairs to change clothes.
During these periods, Austin was in Suny's villa, and there were gradually more and more clothes of him in Suny's cloakroom.
