EX-husband Groveling to Me novel Chapter 40

As Suny had just had dinner, Alicia's phone call came.

The night outside the window was dark, she carried a glass of juice and stood there on the balcony looking at the high hanging moon, one hand holding the phone: "Find it out?"

"Wow, Suny, you're so smart!"

Alicia let out an exaggerated whimper, "Tell the truth, did you put some kind of wiretap on me?"

Suny grunted, "It's not hard to guess."

Who else but Jennifer was so fond of staring at her and making troubles?

Alicia suddenly thought of something: "Why did you come back to the Johnson’s this afternoon?"

Suny took a sip of her juice before responding, "Nothing, Tina swapped my diploma and made a fake one for me."

"Holy shit! What does she want?"

"Who knows?"

Suny shrugged, "But I think she wouldn't dare to do anything."

It was rare that Austin would actually come back personally to help her get her diploma back this afternoon.

Tina naturally didn't dare to be reckless anymore when Austin stepped in.

"Then what's going on with you and Austin?"

As Suny had just left the Johnson’s in the afternoon, the news of her going back to the Johnson’s to beg for remarry was released on Weibo.

The news spread very exaggeratedly, but because of that early line of Ashley's words, netizens were much more sensible and did not give random judgment.

This hot search had only climbed to twenty-two before it was removed, Alicia was still quite fast in move.

"You asked Rosa to remove the hot search?"

Hearing Alicia's words, Suny couldn't help but raise her eyebrow: "You didn't remove the hot search?"

"...... I thought it was you who did that."

"It wasn't me."

Suny pursed her lips and looked down at the orange juice in her hand, "Find out who did that."

The message was sent by either Tina or Jennifer, both of whom wanted to make her laugh and embarrass her, so it was impossible for them to remove it.

Alicia replied, "I've asked Joan to check it out! By the way, I'll help you prepare the dress for the star-studded awards night, so don't buy it yourself!"

To be honest, if Alicia hadn't mentioned this matter, Suny had really forgotten: "Okay."

After responding, Suny finished the last sip of her juice, "I'm going to bed."

"Oh my god! It's ten o'clock!"

Suny responded, "Beauty sleep."

"......"

Suny said good night and hung up the phone, before going to sleep, she couldn't help but think of the question Austin asked her this afternoon.

Did you really love me?

She thought she had said it clearly before, but she in the end he did not believe it.

Well, never mind.

Early the next morning, before the alarm clock rang, Alicia's phone call came first.

Suny rubbed her temples, her face not very good: "Give me a reason not to be angry."

Alicia held the phone, abashed: "Didn't you ask me to find out who removed the hot search last night? Joan found out, it was -"

Alicia stopped abruptly in the middle of her sentence, "Suny, guess who?"

Suny completely woke up and answered: "Austin."

"...... I advise you to confess if it's true that you've put an interceptor on me."

Suny got out of bed, "I gotta have breakfast first."

"Hey, wait! Aren't you surprised? Aren't you excited?"

Suny looked out the window at the golden sunshine and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "Heart as calm as water."

"...... No, you ...... "

Before Alicia could finish her sentence, Suny had already hung up the phone.

That fact that Austin removed the hot search had been guessed last night before she went to sleep.

She had to say that his line "Did you really love me?" gave her shock. Didn't Austin always think she was an insolent, money-hungry and hypocritical woman?

He had even said before that her love had a clear price tag and meant nothing to him.

She didn't expect him to ask such a soulful question even after the divorce.

But she did not take the fact that Austin removing the hot search into her heart.

The thing she was more interested in doing now was to give a lesson to Jennifer who kept bouncing around.

After eating breakfast, Suny drove out.

She didn't really want to keep tangling with people related to Austin, but Suny had put up with Jennifer three times.

If she didn't do something about it, Jennifer would probably think she was too easy to bully.

The private detective was introduced by Alicia's agent, Joan, and Suny made an appointment to meet her at ten.

She left home at 9:30, but there was a car accident halfway, and she was stuck in traffic for ten minutes, so she was already six minutes late when she parked the car.

The restaurant was not at mealtime and was so quiet that only the sound of lively music was heard, and as soon as Suny entered she saw the only person in the room.

"Sorry, Mr. Bates, I'm late."

Kyle Bates was obviously stunned for a moment when he saw her, but quickly responded, "It's okay, I just arrived not long ago too."

Suny smiled and directly took out one hundred million from inside her bag and put it in front of Kyle: "Mr. Bates, I have made it very clear over the phone, this is the deposit, I will give you seven days' time."

Kyle probably didn't expect her to be so quick and was surprised, "Miss Holland, you are prettier and quicker than I expected."

"I hope you don't mind, I don't really like to waste time."

"Understood, then Miss Holland, wait for my message."

It was so easy to talk to a smart person, Suny hooked her lips, "Good, then I'll wait for your news Mr. Bates."

Kyle was going to invite Suny to lunch, but when his eyes fell inside Suny's charming eyes, he instantly snapped, "I'll leave first then."

"Okay."

Suny nodded and took a sip of lemonade, watching the complete leave before she beckoned to the waiter to get the menu.

It was still early, so Suny was in no hurry and sat there leisurely flipping through the menu.

Suny was a bit lucky today, as she had just ordered her meal, she looked up and saw Jennifer entering with a man on her arm.

If she remembered correctly, he seemed to be the youngest son of the Chambers family, Alfred Chambers, who had just returned from his studies last year.

The restaurant was not crowded at this time, so Jennifer also saw Suny at a glance.

Her face froze for a moment and she subconsciously let go of the hand she was holding on Alfred Chambers.

Suny couldn't help but hook her lips, raising her hand and resting her chin as she watched Jennifer step closer, then looked at her with a smile in the corner of her charming eyes, "Miss Dawson, what a coincidence."

Jennifer didn't really want to greet Suny, "Miss Holland."

Suny glanced at Alfred beside her, her eyebrows frowned slightly, seemingly puzzled, "This is?"

"Your friend?"

Suny snorted, feeling amused, and suddenly seemed to understand something, giving Jennifer a meaningful glance, "Oh, I won't bother you guys then."

Jennifer was uncomfortable by that look from Suny, but she didn't want to continue chatting with Suny in front of Alfred even more, hearing this from Suny, she hurriedly walked towards the table.
