Everyone looked towards Viola Thompson.
She calmly put down her bowl and chopsticks, and then said, “I have already severed ties with them.”
These simple words carried heavy implications.
The housekeeper was stunned.
No matter what, the person outside was Viola’s adoptive mother, but Viola’s attitude…
“Didn’t you hear what Miss Thompson said?” Mrs. Thompson continued.
“Yes, I understood.” The housekeeper immediately reacted and hurriedly walked towards the door.
The housekeeper was quite kind.
He thought Viola’s behavior was very inappropriate.
After all, without her adoptive parents, she would not exist.
But Viola simply cut off all relations.
Such actions were excessively heartless.
Sylvia Thompson said nothing, glancing briefly at Viola and Mrs. Thompson, a flicker of light in her eyes.
Viola was indeed cold-blooded.
These were her adoptive parents.
And she simply disowned them.
Such a person was simply not human!
At the same time.
The housekeeper arrived outside the door.
“I’m sorry,” the housekeeper looked at the family of three standing outside, “our Young Miss Thompson said that she currently has nothing to do with you.”
Olga could not handle hearing such words and opened her mouth to curse.
Damn ungrateful woman, she really has no conscience!
She actually dared to disown them.
Elizabeth Thompson spoke first, gently saying, “Maybe my elder sister has forgotten us after being away from home for so long. Could you please pass the message again?”
She was the most talented woman of River City, possessing status and identity, with numerous fans supporting her online.
If Olga started cursing like a shrew at this moment, it would seriously affect her image.
Elizabeth Thompson could not afford to lose face in this way.
“I’m sorry, but you three must leave.”
With that, the housekeeper turned to leave.
As Viola was unwilling to acknowledge her adoptive parents, he felt helpless.
Being a servant of the Thompson family, he could only follow the family’s arrangements.
“Sir, could you please wait a moment,” Elizabeth Thompson spoke again.
“Is there anything else?” The housekeeper stopped and turned back to look at Elizabeth Thompson.
Elizabeth Thompson looked at the housekeeper, “Sir, could you please convey to my elder sister that the purpose of our visit this time is simply to ascertain that she is having a good life in her new home.”
At this point, Elizabeth Thompson sighed, tears welling into her eyes, “Ever since my elder sister ran away from home, my parents and I have been extremely worried, especially my parents, who have been battling insomnia. If possible, I want my elder sister to meet with us at least once. No matter what has happened in the past, she will always be a part of this family.”
Elizabeth Thompson’s words contained not a shred of inconsistency, painting an image of Viola as an ungrateful and vicious woman.
Her adoptive parents treated her so well, yet she seemed to disregard them.
Hearing these words, Olga, tears streaming down her eyes, immediately came forward, “When the child was first brought home, she was so tiny, like a little sparrow. I didn’t think she would survive. Fortunately, she did! They say those who narrowly escape death later have great fortune, this child is indeed fortunate.”
Overtaken by emotion, Olga added, “She’s the same age as my daughter, and when they were younger, I treated her better than my own daughter. But just like the tongue and teeth fight each other, so do mother and daughter, we never anticipated that this time she would run away from home.”
They deliberately omitted the fact to outsiders that they had severed ties with Viola, and more so the fact that they had chased her away.
Hearing what they had to say, the housekeeper felt deeply that it was not easy being a parent.
An eighteen-year-old child, right in the midst of her rebellious phase, though Viola’s actions could be understandable, directly shutting her parents out without even meeting them was indeed baffling to others.
The housekeeper looked at Olga, “Ma’am, you don’t need to worry, Miss Thompson is living here very comfortably and the entire family dotes on her.”
The entire family dotes on her.
Hearing these words, anger flared in Elizabeth Thompson’s eyes.
Why?
Why did Viola easily become the young mistress of the Thompson family?
Why was she stuck in a small place like River City?
Originally, she had thought she could meet Mr. Terrence smoothly and gain his favor, however, after such a long time, not only did she not meet Mr. Terrence, but she also heard the news of Viola becoming the young mistress of Thompson family!
This was unbearable!
Elizabeth Thompson managed to force out a smile, “Sir, knowing that my sister is well gives me peace of mind. But I still hope that my sister can meet us. My parents miss her deeply.”
The housekeeper nodded, “Alright, I will do my best to convey your message.”
“Thank you.”
Elizabeth Thompson bowed slightly.
The housekeeper turned to leave.
Watching his retreating figure, Olga frowned, “Never thought that this wild bastard would be so heartless! If I had known, I would have killed her directly back then.”
After all, she’s nothing but an unwanted object!
Elizabeth Thompson sighed, “Mom, dad, let’s go back to the hotel for now.”
Reg Thompson just nodded.The three of them turned around to leave.
Just then, a gentle voice came from behind, “Please wait.”
Elizabeth Thompson halted in her tracks, looking back.
She saw a girl of about her age rushing over.
With long, curly hair.
Quite pretty.
“Hello,” Elizabeth Thompson greeted politely.
She had already guessed Sylvia Thompson’s identity.
“Hello,” Sylvia Thompson answered with a friendly smile on her face, “You three must be my sister’s family, right? I’m Sylvia Thompson. I want to apologize for my sister’s behavior towards you.”
Olga chuckled, “So you’re the young Miss Thompson?”
Young Miss Thompson Family Sylvia Thompson, anyone who knows a little about the Thompson Family knows that they have an exceptionally outstanding eldest daughter.
Sylvia Thompson nodded slightly.
Olga continued, “Educated people really are different, not like some ungrateful and vicious men.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Sylvia Thompson said, “Uncles, aunts, don’t worry, any misunderstandings within a family can be resolved.”
“Thank you, Miss Thompson!”
They didn’t expect the Thompson family to have such sensible people.
That was quite a surprise.
“Auntie, you’re too polite,” Sylvia Thompson said with a chuckle, “I’m just doing what I should.”
Watching the three of them leave, Sylvia Thompson’s lips curled up in a smile.
She was curious to see how Viola would deal with the current situation.
After all.
In Sinian Country, there is a saying that no parents are without faults.
Mary Perryne also knew that Thompson family had arrived.
“Mom, I heard that Viola’s adoptive parents are here?” Mary Perryne walked over to Mrs. Thompson.
Mrs. Thompson nodded.
Mary Perryne continued, “Regardless, they are Viola’s adoptive parents. Without them, there would be no Viola today. Even if they’ve made no contributions, they certainly had their hardships. How could you let the housekeeper drive them away!”
This action wasn’t appropriate.
“Viola was thrown away in the countryside and ignored since she was little, so what kind of adoptive parents are they?” Mrs. Thompson was very angry, “They even drove Viola out of their home before. Now that they know Viola is the young Miss Thompson, they’re trying to grab at her coattails! Before she was recognized by the Thompson family, why didn’t they look for Viola? These people are not fit to call parents!”
Mary Perryne crinkled her eyebrows, “But even so…”
“You’ve become an expert now! You’re going to teach me how to do things?” Mrs. Thompson glared at Mary Perryne.
Mary Perryne immediately explained, “Mom, that’s not what I meant.”
“Then shut up! I don’t want to hear what you have to say! Womanly kindness!”
Mary Perryne had to close her mouth.
Mrs. Thompson glanced at Mary Perryne, feeling somewhat annoyed. She continued, “Boundless kindness isn’t a good thing! These people are definitely not good people!”
If Reg Thompson and Olga, the couple, had any conscience, they wouldn’t have done something as cruel as this.
Although Mary Perryne felt it was inappropriate, she still nodded, “I understand, Mom.”
On the other side.
Hotel.
Elizabeth Thompson was sitting on the rocking chair on the hotel balcony, scrolling through Facebook.
Suddenly, she saw a post.
Young Miss Thompson.
Could it be Sylvia Thompson?
Elizabeth Thompson clicked to open the post.
But the image she saw left her stunned.
Because the person playing the piano in the picture was Viola Thompson.
Even though she was wearing a mask and a hat, Elizabeth Thompson recognized Viola at a glance.
More than two hundred thousand comments, almost all were compliments for Viola.
[Although you were born in the dust, you shine like a star. Not only do you illuminate yourself, but also your family!]
[Young Miss Thompson Family is too amazing!]
[Check in for Young Miss Thompson Family!]
[Does grandma really not consider letting the princess open a Facebook account?]
[I want to follow the princess!]
Elizabeth Thompson browsed through the comments, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
A moment later, the corners of her mouth curled up in a faint smile.
Since Viola was so popular on Facebook, then she would let Viola plummet from her high status.
Elizabeth Thompson started typing and posted on her Facebook:
Elizabeth Thompson V: “@85-year-old fairy: Dear Mrs. Thompson, I’m Elizabeth Thompson. Today marks the 90th day since my sister left us; during this time, my parents have been constantly worrying about her, concerned about how she’s doing. I hope Mrs. Thompson can help relay our message to my sister; we hope she can meet my parents.”
