Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot - Chapter 462:
Chapter 462: 168: Crazy face-slapping, some people’s eyes have gone red! (2nd update)
As soon as she spoke.
The air became quiet.
Madam Lu and Emily Lu exchanged glances, then turned to the housekeeper, “Who did you say the reporters want to interview?”
It wasn’t that Madam Lu didn’t believe her own ears.
It was just that the housekeeper’s words were too preposterous.
Interviewing the high school valedictorian, Miss Thompson?
Could this Miss Thompson be Viola Thompson?
That’s impossible!
If Viola Thompson was the high school valedictorian, who got a perfect score in the essay?
And who got full marks for mathematics?
In this room there were the sixth-ranked Emily Lu and the only female student in the KV research lab, Sylvia Thompson. It was possible that the reporters came to interview Emily, who ranked sixth in the city and Sylvia.
But now, the housekeeper says they want to interview Miss Thompson?
This…
Isn’t this just nonsense?
The housekeeper also found it quite unbelievable and continued, “Th-they said they want to interview Miss Thompson, Viola Thompson.”
At this point, the housekeeper turned to look at Viola.
He wasn’t very familiar with Viola. In fact, before this, he hadn’t even seen her.
Now, when he looked at her, he only felt that this girl was as pure as a fairy who had stepped out of a painting.
It made people want to use the most beautiful words in the world to describe her.
Viola Thompson!
Sylvia Thompson’s heart skipped a beat, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Originally, she had come here to watch Viola make a fool of herself.
But she hadn’t expected…
Edward Thompson’s eyes widened as he stared at Viola.
She was the valedictorian?!
In those days, Mandel Thompson was the best performer in the Thompson family.
But he had only come in second in the city.
Viola had actually become the valedictorian!
The wealthy ladies in the hall were all surprised.
Who could have thought that young Miss Thompson was so capable?!
Mary Perryne was the first to recover. “Butler, are you sure you didn’t hear wrong? It’s really my Viola?”
Everyone had the same reaction, which made the housekeeper a bit confused!
Did he hear wrong?
“Y-Yes?” the housekeeper continued. “I’ll go ask again!”
With that, the housekeeper quickly walked out.
Reporters were waiting just outside the door of the Walt Manor.
Seeing the housekeeper come out, they immediately handed over the microphone. “Excuse me, may we see Miss Viola Thompson?”
The housekeeper swallowed and carefully checked with the reporters, “Are you here to interview Viola Thompson, the young Miss of the Thompson family?”
“Yes.”
In the hall.
Everyone looked at each other, and no one spoke.
Emily Lu looked at Viola, her eyes full of mockery.
It must be a mistake.
The housekeeper must have made a mistake.
With Viola’s appearance, how could she possibly become the valedictorian.
If Viola had the ability to become the valedictorian, she probably would have been unable to suppress her excitement and run out by now!
She could still be so calm?
It must be impossible!
Edward Thompson also felt that there was no way this could be true.
He wanted to leave immediately; otherwise, it would be too humiliating.
But the reporters were outside.
He couldn’t leave.
Edward Thompson frowned slightly.
At this moment, the housekeeper ran in from outside, “Mrs. Thompson, it has been confirmed. It is indeed Miss Viola Thompson.”
Mary Perryne was extremely excited!
She even felt as if she was dreaming.
Her daughter was the valedictorian?!
Mary Perryne looked at Viola, “Viola, pinch me.”
Viola’s expression was unchanged; up until now, her face had not shown any particular fluctuation, she just smiled faintly, “Mom, you’re not dreaming.”
The housekeeper continued, “Mrs. Thompson, Miss Thompson, please come this way. The reporters are here.”
“Let’s go.” Mary Perryne took Viola’s arm and walked out.
The wealthy ladies in the hall watched the mother-daughter duo leave, with eyes full of envy.
“Miss Thompson is really amazing!”
“You’re telling me? She is truly outstanding! She’s the valedictorian! If I were Mrs. Thompson, I’d be laughing even in my sleep.”
“There’s a difference between a biological child and others. Previously, Mandel Thompson ranked second, but now Viola directly became the valedictorian.”
“I heard that Samuel Thompson and Edward Thompson were also among the top three in the past.”
“The Thompson children really are all academic overachievers!”
When compared to the other Thompson children who either ranked within the top three citywide or were the high school valedictorian, Sylvia Thompson, who ranked fifth in the city, seemed unremarkable.
Sylvia Thompson stood among the crowd, with little color in her face and her fingers clenched tightly.
Due to her excessive force, her knuckles were already turning slightly white.
She was trying hard to control her emotions.Sylvia watched as Mary and Viola disappeared, her heart filled with sadness. She felt like an outsider… an abandoned outsider.
That’s right.
She didn’t have any blood relationship with Mary.
“I haven’t watched TV yet! Shall we go and watch?”
“Yeah, let’s go.”
“I’m so envious of Mrs. Thompson!”
Everyone followed Mary’s footsteps and walked outside.
Surrounded by sounds of admiration.
Watching the crowd, Emily’s eyes turned red with anger.
She was supposed to be the star of today, still proud of her sixth place in the city-wide exam!
What about now?
She was like a clown.
Mary led Viola outside.
Seeing the mother and daughter come out, the reporters went crazy, handing over the microphone, “Miss Thompson, how do you feel now?”
“Mrs. Thompson, when did you find out about Miss Thompson’s incredible performance in the national exam?”
National top scorer?!
Mary widened her eyes, not knowing that Viola had achieved this feat.
Seeing her reaction, the reporter guessed the hidden story and laughed, “Mrs. Thompson, did you just find out about Miss Thompson’s achievement?”
As a strong woman and the head of the number one family in Capital City, Mary had been interviewed before, but never felt this agitated.
It was a surprise!
So happy!
She couldn’t express her feelings in words.
Mary calmed herself down, looked at the camera and nodded, “Yes, I just found out about Viola’s score. I asked her this morning, but at that time, the results hadn’t come out yet. I’ve always known that Viola’s grades were good, but I didn’t know she…”
By the end, Mary was struggling to control herself, her eyes slightly red with tears.
This was tears of joy.
The reporter continued, “Do you know Miss Thompson’s total college entrance examination score?”
Mary shook her head.
The reporter laughed, “Congratulations, Mrs. Thompson, Miss Thompson’s total score is 750!”
Viola had no bonus points.
In other words.
She had a perfect score on all seven subjects!
Mary was even more stunned.
Mrs. Swantz, who had been listening in the background, couldn’t contain her excitement and immediately asked, “Is it a full score of 750 or are there any bonus points?”
There are bonus points for the college entrance examination, including Emily’s 697, which included 10 extra points.
“It’s a bare score of 750!” The journalist explained further, “In other words, Miss Thompson scored a perfect score in every subject.”
Viola was the only one,
who, over the years, had achieved a perfect score in the college entrance examination.
Even the language and composition scores were not deducted a single point!
That’s exactly why,
as soon as the exam results were announced, these reporters rushed over.
Before the exam results were published, Viola’s popularity had been high!
At that time.
No one expected Viola to be the top scorer in the college entrance examination.
There were even many online ridicules.
As soon as this was uttered, the wealthy wives behind her were all flabbergasted.
All subjects with full scores!
That was too frightening!
“Oh my god, Miss Thompson is so amazing.”
“Full scores, wow!”
“Is there a mistake?”
“The news reporters are here, how could there be a mistake? Do you think the college entrance exam scores are playing with you?”
The reporter continued to ask Mary, “Mrs. Thompson, do you have any tips to share with us, how did you cultivate a college entrance examination top scorer?”
“Mrs. Thompson, which school are you planning to have Miss Thompson attend?”
With Viola’s perfect score in the college entrance exam, she could choose any prestigious school at home or abroad.
Mary was surrounded by reporters, her brilliant answers shining brightly like the stars in the sky.
Mary answered the reporters’ questions one by one: “Viola is an independent and strong child. No matter what difficulties she faces, she can cope with them calmly. Actually, I have never been a qualified mother. Her achievement is entirely her own effort… ”
Meanwhile.
River City.
Ye Jun was shopping with Jessica Girma, buying many luxury skincare products and bags.
She didn’t lack money now.
As long as Elizabeth Thompson’s scores were announced, the school would notify her immediately, award her the bonus, and TV reporters would interview her, the famous teacher.
And there was Jessica Girma’s forfeited annual salary.
Thinking about it, Ye Jun couldn’t contain her excitement.
“Jessica, I want to buy a necklace later, can you help me pay for it?”
Jessica Girma was stunned for a moment, and just as she was about to say something, Ye Jun looked at her with a mocking expression, “Jessica, are you still hoping for a miracle?”
At this moment, a group of reporters came running towards the two.
“Which one of you is the teacher of Miss Thompson, the top scholar achiever?”
Hearing this, Ye Jun couldn’t be more excited, and immediately stepped forward, “Me, me!”
She didn’t expect the college entrance exam results to come out so quickly.
Ye Jun never thought she would be interviewed on the crowded street.
That’s good, too.
Soon, everyone would know that she was the top scholar’s teacher!
The reporter continued, “Oh, so you are Teacher Girma! Would you mind being interviewed now? I would like to ask, how does Miss Thompson perform in class?”
