Chapter 98 She Also Has a Brother Supporting Her
Susanna saw the person outside and immediately wanted to close the door.
She had thought it was Austin returning without his keys, so she hadn't really looked to see who it was. Now she regretted to open the door.
"Susanna, why are you closing the door?"
Grace pushed open the door and boldly squeezed in. "Susanna, you've made us spend a lot of effort to find you. You live in such a clean and upscale neighborhood, yet claiming to have no money. You're just lying!"
Andrew, with a stern face, added, "Susanna, don’t count on the government compensation for the house and money. Let me make it clear to you. They are all meant for my son, for his wedding, the sole heir of the Miller family."
Susanna coldly replied, "That house belongs to Madison, and you have no right to take it."
"Madison has no right to the house and money. My brother is still in the hospital, not dead yet. If you take away the house and money, what if she remarries and gives it to another man in the future? So as his brother, I should manage this money to prevent him from waking up to nothing."
"Your intentions are too obvious."
Doesn't Susanna understand what they're up to?
They clearly want to privately take possession of the government's compensation and the house.
At that moment, Edward emerged from the bathroom, staring coldly at Grace and Andrew outside. "What, haven't you had enough from the last beating? Do you want to experience a broken bone again?"
Andrew, upon seeing Edward, immediately changed his expression, clutching his arm where he had previously broken it. It still ached on rainy days.
Grace took a step back in surprise. She hadn't expected Susanna's brother to be there.
This situation was turning out to be quite unpleasant.
Edward, tall and imposing, with striking features, looked particularly intimidating.
Grace and Andrew were scared and retreated to the doorway but didn't leave.
Madison, hearing the commotion from the kitchen, wanted to go out and have a look, but Aviana held her back. "Madison, let them handle this. You don't need to show yourself; just focus on making delicious food. We can have lunch when Austin returns."
Madison was still worried. "Is this really okay?"
"There's nothing to worry about. Even if you go out, it won't solve anything and will only cause more trouble."
Aviana wasn't concerned about this issue at all. After all, her husband could handle this small matter, which was a good opportunity for him to show his capabilities instead of lamenting every day at home about being a good brother. Her ears were tired of hearing it.
Edward stared at Grace and Andrew with a dangerous look, saying coldly, "Get lost. If you come back again, I'll break your legs."
Grace and Andrew were frightened and quickly left the doorstep, feeling somewhat resentful. They had come to cause trouble today, but they hadn't expected Susanna's brother to be there!
Grace looked directly at Susanna and said, "Don't you think you can get away with this. Susanna, I'm telling you, the new house subsidized by the government belongs to us. We’ll see about it!"
Andrew had also intended to threaten Susanna, but seeing the expressionless and intimidating man standing next to her, he gave up. If a fight broke out, he would definitely get beaten, and he didn't want to lose out.
Grace and Andrew left in a huff, feeling defeated.
Edward's eyes held a hint of danger. Grace and Andrew were really getting on his nerves. He had previously taught them a lesson, thinking they wouldn't dare to come back and cause trouble.
After all, they had adopted his sister, even though they hadn't treated her well later on, it was Madison who had taken in Susanna.
Ultimately, Edward still acknowledged their care for Susanna.
But he hadn't expected them to be so greedy and wanting to threaten Susanna, which he couldn't tolerate.
Susanna closed the door and sat back on the sofa, saying, "Ever since the government notified us about compensating us with a new house, I knew this day would come. Grace and Andrew would definitely come to snatch that house."
Facing interests, even relatives could turn against each other, let alone Grace and Andrew, who were already such people.
Edward decisively spoke up, "Susanna, you don't need to worry. I'll handle this matter."
Dealing with such people required no effort at all.
At that moment, Madison came out of the kitchen, looking worried. "Susanna, since they've come once, they'll definitely come again. I wonder how they found out where we live. I promise I didn't tell anyone."
"I probably have an idea of what's going on. Even if they find this place, it doesn't matter. We just need to stand our ground."
Susanna knew that Grace and Andrew had probably learned about this from Elaine. After all, Elaine had helped them find the studio.
Edward reassured the anxious Madison. "Don't worry, leave this to me."
"Edward, you don't know how ruthless Grace and Andrew can be. I don't mind, but I don't want Susanna to suffer. After all, she's still young, deserving a bright future."
As Madison spoke, tears began to fall. A woman who had always been soft and accustomed to worrying, she could only cry in such situations.
Aviana quickly comforted her and led her to the bedroom. She then signaled to Edward, who knew how to handle the situation. He sent a message to his assistant on his phone: [Investigate the process of the government compensation.]
Once he knew the details, he would know how to proceed.
In reality, with his personality, he could just tie up Grace and Andrew and throw them into the sea to feed the sharks, ensuring no trace of them remained. No one dare to trouble Susanna again!
But Aviana would definitely disagree with such an extreme method. Well, he had reformed now and had to act reasonably!
After posting on Facebook, Edward looked up and said, "Susanna, rest assured. Until the matter of the government compensation and money is resolved, we will come to support you."
"However, the government's planning may take some time to conclude, so it might be too time-consuming for you."
"It won't be a waste of time. We can take turns to be with you."
At that moment, Austin walked in through the door. Just earlier, he had been informed about the process of Susanna's foster parents causing trouble over the government compensation for the house, mentioned by Aviana in the group chat.
"Austin, you're finally back. Let's dig in. These matters can't be resolved now anyway, let's eat first."
Susanna knew that Madison hadn't come out of the bedroom yet, so she went straight to the kitchen to prepare the food.
Outside the kitchen, Austin addressed Edward in a serious look, "Edward, have you really made up your mind this time?"
"Yes, I can't keep hiding my identity, letting Susanna be looked down upon and bullied by others."
Edward thought it was a good opportunity.
He could sever ties with Erica first, it wouldn't be too awkward when Susanna returned to the Jones family in the future.
