A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 151

However, under the cover of the coat, Kevin fondles Sunny even more flirtatiously.

Aroused by him, she almost kneels on the ground as her legs go limp.

"Kevin, it's enough."

The old master is introducing his family members to the crowd. While she complains with her face twisted, the spotlight happens to fall on her, so she quickly cracks an unsightly smile.

Only then does Kevin withdraw his naughty hand and hides it behind himself, pretending to look upright.

Sunny is dying inside standing next to him.

"Next, let's invite my eldest grandson to say a few words."

Ellison hears his name and walks forward with a straight face.

"Hello, everyone. I'm Ellison. This is my wife, and this is my son."

Everyone present falls victim to his charm, despite his straightforward and brief introduction. Someone starts the way and applauds him, and then a few others follow suit. In the end, everyone claps in unison.

"Your brother is so cool."

Sunny whispers to Kevin.

"Do you want an introduction like that?"

"What?"

Ellison retreats from the spotlight with such a short speech.

After that, he expressionlessly returns to his original position. Sunny notices he holds Kelly's hand as soon as he goes back.

That amuses her to a laugh.

"What's so funny?"

Kevin mutters. Then, the old master gestures for him to come close. So, he walks to the center of the stage so that everyone can see him.

"This is my youngest grandson, Kevin."

Kevin glances at the audience below, and a trace of coldness flashes in his eyes. He remembers he was stared like this once. When. . .

Before he can stroll down the memory lane, the old master pulls him back to reality, saying, "Kevin, tell everyone about yourself."

Kevin twitches his lip corner and says coldly, "I'm Kevin. The woman standing over there is my wife, and the one next to her is my daughter. Oh right, I'm already married. So, stop fantasizing about me."

Ugly memories surface when he feels the pressure of everyone's gaze. His good mood is nowhere to be found.

There are daggers in his words, and he lays eyes on several people in particular.

The old master coughs to drive away the awkwardness in the air. He intends to put an end to this shitty show.

"Alright, thank you for attending. I feel honored to have you today. Please be seated. It's time to enjoy the delicacies."

Sunny looks at Kevin who is in the center of the stage and whispers to Kelly, "Do you feel it? The brothers both seem to hate standing in that position."

Kelly says in her ears, "They have some nasty histories with it. It's not a good time to tell you this. But I promise to enlighten you later or some other time."

Sunny nods and agrees, "Let's see who is the expert here."

Kelly says proudly, "Hey, I am known as the ultimate gossip machine of hotties."

Just as she finishes speaking, someone pinches her. It is Ellison.

"I heard everything," says he.

...

Sunny notices that Kevin has also returned, so she quickly adjusts her expression.

"Kevin, are you alright?"

Sunny hooks Kevin's little finger with hers. Kevin moves it in response, and she is assured. She feels it is time to know him better.

After getting off the stage, Sunny pulls Kelly to a private corner and says, "Tell me now about the stories."

Kelly carefully looks around and is sure that no one will hear them before replying.

"I heard some rumors that their father jumped off the building instead of ending the life journey with his wife. Terrifyingly, they watched the whole thing and saw people gather around their father's corpse gossiping."

Kelly tells a brief version of the story, but Sunny still feels the horror.

"Are you sure?"

Sunny finds it hard to believe.

Kelly nods. "I doubted the authenticity too when I first heard it. What a cruel thing for children to witness. So, I asked around to see if it was true. It is said that someone wound a noose around their father's neck, so there was nothing else he could do but shed his mortal shackles voluntarily."

Sunny feels as if she fell into an ice cellar after she hears that. She finally has clarity about his miserable past. The truth that that wicked murderer is responsible for all this comes to light.

"Is that someone still alive?"

Kelly glances at Sunny and notices that she is trembling all over. Kelly grows a little nervous and answers, "Don't, don't worry. I'm not sure he is. How about we ask around?"

Sunny takes a few deep breaths to calm herself down. If that is really the case, she must avenge Kevin!
