Chapter 376: Chapter 376: What is Your True Purpose?
During breakfast, the two brothers still didn’t speak.
Old Master Walyon sat at the head of the table, his face stern while he glanced at one, then at the other, his expression growing exceedingly tense.
He simply couldn’t understand what had happened to cause such a sudden strain in their atmosphere.
Gina Sutton, watching from the side, seemed to enjoy the spectacle.
Afraid that the Old Master might not guess, she pointed to the almost invisible stain of blood on Ryan Walyon’s sleeve and casually reminded, "Jimmy, there’s still blood from yesterday when sister’s hand got hurt on your clothes."
The atmosphere in the dining room was already unpleasant.
The Old Master hadn’t even considered Summer Sutton being involved.
At her mention, Old Master’s expression instantly tightened even further.
She was purposely trying to shift the blame onto Summer Sutton!
Regarding yesterday’s incident, Adrian Walyon hadn’t blamed Summer at all, so what right did she have to push Summer into this whirlpool?
Since the wedding, Adrian had always protected Summer in front of everyone.
Upon hearing those words, he immediately got angry.
His temper flared, regardless of the person he’d face.
In front of the entire family, he began lashing out on the spot, "Stop idling and take care of your own business. Don’t stir up trouble here, adding fuel to the fire! Gossip away without even considering who you’re talking about! You haven’t even set foot into this house, what concern of the family’s business is yours? Keep spreading rumors here, and you’ll be sent back to your Sutton Family home!"
His words were always sharp, cruelly hitting the mark with every insult.
Despite Gina Sutton being half-considered a part of the Second Uncle Walyon’s family, he showed no restraint, ignoring even Bryce Walyon’s dignity.
Gina was deeply embarrassed, shifting her gaze to Old Master in grievance.
Old Master, with a tight expression, ignored her, appearing still to be contemplating her earlier remark.
He stared at Adrian and Ryan Walyon for a while longer before finally placing his bowl and chopsticks down with a clatter, tasting only a little breakfast before retreating to his room.
...
Summer Sutton came downstairs at noon.
At noon, the Walyon Family hosted a barbecue banquet in the garden.
Servants busily moved in and out, serving dishes.
Sophie ran around, playing with Unity.
At this moment, the Walyon Family seemed peacefully tranquil.
Gina Sutton sat far away on a lounge chair, basking in the sun.
She initially had two servants by her side, but when the phone rang unexpectedly, not knowing who was calling, she excused the servants and strolled away with her phone as if taking a walk.
Summer hadn’t planned to bother with her. After arriving in the garden, she picked up a few vegetable skewers intending to grill but suddenly recalled something encountered late one night.
Whose call required Gina Sutton to move aside just to answer?
Was it the person who phoned her that night?
Summer’s gaze followed Gina’s distant figure, quietly observing her for a moment before her feet involuntarily moved towards her.
When she reached behind Gina, Gina was still on the call.
Summer concealed herself behind a wall of roses and silently eavesdropped.
"What’s your real motive?" The person on the other end of the call, whom Gina seemed particularly furious speaking with, was unknown.
That kind of anger accumulating in the chest was like she faced Summer.
What amount of old and new grievances did she hold against Summer?
What had the person on the phone done to make her so hateful?
Out of curiosity, Summer continued to listen behind the flowers for a while.
