Every time Kitty thought about what little Suzie had told her, she couldn''t help butugh.


    "Don''t mess with her, don''t provoke the Davis family, acting all high and mighty."


    Running off with a broke bad boy back then, who would''ve thought she''d still feel so superior yearster? Where did that confidence evene from? Kitty smirked.


    When Austin heard this, he furrowed his brows deeply. "Did our sister really say that?"


    "Yeah, I went to Ashford myself. I spoke to her nicely about dad''s situation, and she just said the Cunningham family had nothing to do with her, then blocked my number," Kitty said sarcastically.


    After a pause, she added, "Just a simple bone marrow match, and she refuses to do it. Really... Sigh, I dare not even tell dad about this, I''m afraid it would upset him."


    Austin''s expression grew even darker. He knew their sister had always been rebellious and never followed family rules, which was why she had made the ridiculous decision to elope. But now, it was their own father who was sick-his life was at stake. How could she refuse to see him? Even the coldest person should have a bit of conscience.


    Quite disappointed, Austin rubbed his face and said, "Send me her number. I''ll give her a callter."


    Kitty nodded, took out her phone from her bag, and while sending the number to Austin, she continued, "I''m not sure if she''s changed her number. Try it, brother. I couldn''t find her husband''s number either; otherwise, I would''ve tried contacting him too."


    To let her current husband know what a heartless woman his wife is.


    Austin''s phone buzzed in his pocket, but he didn''t take it out to call right then. Instead, he looked at Kitty and asked, "How is she doing now?"


    "Probably not so well. I heard she has four sons and a daughter, and they live in a run-down old


    apartmentplex. With so many kids, you can imagine the quality of life isn''t great," Kitty said disdainfully.


    Without the Cunningham family, her sister really is nothing.


    Austin could easily imagine what kind of life that must be, shaking his head and simply saying, "If her life is bad, that''s her own doing."


    "Yeah," Kitty sighed. And when it came to her niece, she couldn''t help but add, "But her daughter seems to be doing quite well. She was the top scorer in this year''s final exams."


    The top scorer in the final exams-a clearly prestigious status-surprised Austin. "Really? That impressive?"


    Hearing the word ''impressive'', Kitty felt a bit ufortable internally but didn''t show it on her face. "Mhm, a humanities top scorer."


    Austin looked pensive. Regardless of humanities or sciences, just the title


    of top scorer could predict the


    ет


    niece''s future potential. He hadn''t expected his sister to have such an outstanding daughter, especially since Yara hadn''t even been the high school valedictorian.


    Noticing Austin''s changing


    expressions, Kitty guessed what he might be thinking about and,


    considering the less popr department her niece had been


    assigned to, added, "My sister''s daughter is currently studying at Prestige College, enrolled in one of the worst departments there, reportedly not favored by the faculty."


    Austin snapped back to reality, slightly puzzled. "Isn''t she the humanities top scorer? Why wouldn''t she be favored?"


    Top scorers were usually highly sought after by all schools.


    Kitty shrugged, "I''m not sure. Maybe the teachers have their own considerations. Being a final exam top scorer sounds prestigious, but it stilles down to actual ability."
