Maybe it's time to confess that Austin is not the son of Maddox to them, Antonio and Elijah.
Bert Johnson had always wanted to kick Austin out of KLOC. But his background and professional ability are unquestionable. Bert as his uncle had no choice but to quit this thought.
Grace reached out to Bert last night. Soon Bert will take action and the news will spread around J City.
On the way to the meeting place, Elijah said with a sigh, "With his girlfriend, Austin is putting us behind his brain."
Antonio was driving next to him and threw him a glance, saying, "Just you, not me."
Antonio paused for a short while, "Maybe we should call Tate and let him come too."
Elijah was a bit confused, objecting, "No need to call him. I spoke to him on the phone this morning. He said he was in the middle of class and wanted us to stay away from him."
Antonio thought that if he didn't say this clearly, Elijah would not figure it out until Austin explained.
He compressed his lips and said, "Austin suddenly changed the plan. He must have something to announce"
They are really not that into mahjong, It's just that they are more comfortable discussing something while playing mahjong. Less serious and more casual.
Plus, four adults sitting in the room doing nothing but chatting every time they meet each other, is bizarre.
"I thought it was Suny's idea."
Antonio was amused by his stupidity, "Then why do you think she changed her mind?"
"For me?"
Clearly, Elijah himself didn't believe it.
He recalled the glance Suny threw to Austin after saying this. At that time he thought Suny was just showing off."
But now it doesn't seem like this.
Elijah now understood and said, "I'll call Tate."
Antonio nod and stepped on the accelerator when the traffic light was green.
At the first turn of the mahjong, Tate arrived. He entered and sat behind Elijah, saying, "Haven't seen you for a while. Suny."
Suny smiled, "It has been a while."
Tate agreed and noticed the empty chair nearby, asking, "Austin, you just stand there watching?"
Austin sitting next to Suny, answered, "The seat is saved for you."
Tate grinned, "You two together against me? I am bound to lose."
Elijah disagreed, "Tate, which side you are on? Have confidence in the opponent instead of yourself. You may lose but I won't."
Tate sneered, "Don't cry about it."
They gathered today, not for entertainment but it was not bad to win some money.
Suny had a very good memory, and so did Austin. So they could work out what tiles Elijah and Tate had and how they were going to play.
At the first turn, Suny won by self-draw. Elijah didn't concede, "Games have just started."
Suny glanced at Austin and smiled without saying anything.
In the second turn, while the machine was shuffling, Austin said with indifference, "Have you heard anything about Kasper?"
Elijah replied, "I knew that he had a car accident and hit someone who appears to be the senior executive of the subsidiary company of KLOC. What, you are going to rescue him out?"
Antonio and Tate didn't say a word, but they all stared at Austin, waiting for him to state his attitude.
Austin shook his head. "No. But Grace reached out to me after Kasper's accidents. She took out three paternity test result reports, between me and her, me and Kasper, as well as me and Maddox which she did earlier on.
