Elizabeth Thompson was extremely resentful now.
She was the first to treat Fiona Knight.
She was also the one who would come often to change Fiona’s medicine,
It was clearly her who healed Fiona Knight.
But now?
All credit was taken by Viola Thompson.
Elizabeth couldn’t understand how someone could be so shameless.
Reg Thompson and Olga were right; Viola was like an ungrateful and vicious man, regardless of how good Elizabeth was to her, Viola would never treat her as a sister.
Viola would only snatch things from her.
With this statement, the complexions of others changed.
Originally, Elizabeth had also treated Fiona Knight.
One was a country girl from the countryside, while the other was a famous talented woman from River City.
It was obvious who had actually healed Fiona Knight.
At the time when everyone was doubtful, Mrs. Knight continued to speak, “Miss Thompson, have you forgotten? Under your treatment, Fiona’s condition worsened, and she couldn’t even get out of bed. If it wasn’t for Miss Thompson’s timely intervention, l, an old woman, would not be able to see Fiona now. You should thank Miss Thompson.”
Thank?
She should thank Viola?
Thank Viola for stealing her things?
Elizabeth sneered in her heart.
She didn’t know what kind of potion Viola had fed Mrs. Knight that made her trust Viola so much.
Mrs. Knight used to be a heroic woman!
And yet she was deceived like this.
It was beyond foolish.
Mrs. Knight didn’t even think about it. With Viola’s background as a country girl, what medical skills could she have?
It was only her who was the apprentice of Old Doctor Bruce, a descendant of Bian Que.
Elizabeth tried hard to control her anger, “Mrs. Knight is right, I should thank my sister. Also, I’m sorry that my medical skills are not good enough and Miss Knight has suffered a lot.”
At this point, she turned to look at Viola and continued, “Sister, you are so skilled in medicine, your master must be even more amazing, right?”
The most powerful divine doctor in River City was Old Doctor Bruce, a descendant of Bian Que.
She wanted to see who Viola’s master was, daring to show off in front of her.
From beginning to end, Viola had a calm expression, “l have no master.”
Viola was self-taught.
She had an extremely high talent for medicine since she was little.
When other children were still reading Andersen’s Fairy Tales, Viola had already read the Inner Canon of Huangdi, Ling Shu, Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases, and other ancient medicine books.
With this statement.
Everyone’s faces were full of surprise.
Nowadays, there were actually people who dared to practice medicine only by reading basic medical books.
It was simply arrogant and ignorant.
“l heard that Miss Thompson’s master is Old Doctor Bruce.”
“That’s right; I also heard that.”
Elizabeth looked at Viola, her tone still gentle, “Sister, you are truly amazing, being able to learn so much on your own. It seems that I have to learn a lot from you in the future.”
Mrs. Knight was a bit annoyed with Elizabeth’s attitude and turned to Aurora Scouts, “Aurora, where’s the thank you gift I’ve prepared for Miss Thompson?” “Right here.” Aurora took a file out of her bag.
Mrs. Knight took the file from Aurora’s hand, walked to Viola, and said, “Miss Thompson, you saved the only bloodline of our Knight Family. This is three percent of the shares of the Knight Group. Please accept it.” Three percent of the shares of the Knight Group?
Upon hearing this, there were sighs of regret from the crowd.
Nobody expected that Mrs. Knight would offer three percent of the shares as a
thank you gift.
Elizabeth’s face turned even greener with anger.
These three percent shares should have been hers.
Why did Viola get them?
Just wait!
Someday, the truth will come out!Viola Thompson gently refused, “Mrs. Knight, 1 have already received the consultation fee. If I were to accept these three percent shares, I’m afraid people might not dare to ask for my treatment in the future.’
Mrs. Knight, knowing Viola’s nature, laughed and said, “If Miss Thompson won’t accept it, then under your name, I will convert this sum into cash donations for the welfare home.’
“On behalf of the children in the welfare home, I thank Mrs. Knight.”
None of them expected Viola to actually refuse the three percent stake.
“She must be feeling guilty.”
“How could there be someone like her in this world? If it weren’t for Mr.
Thompson and Mrs. Thompson when she was a child, she would have died early. Now, not only does she not show gratitude, she’s even trying to steal from Miss Thompson. She really got no shame.”
When Fiona Knight heard these words, she felt unhappy. She hugged Viola Thompson’s arm, “Viola, you should not have refused the shares Grandma offered you just now.”
Viola Thompson didn’t take those words to heart. She pinched a piece of pastry, took a bite, and continued, “These people are all relatives of the Thompson Clan, and I’m just an adopted daughter. It is normal for them to stand by Elizabeth Thompson’s side. You believe it or not, if I had just accepted those shares, their tone would have changed, and they would accuse me of being shameless, stealing Elizabeth’s things.”
“But it’s you who cured me!” Fiona Knight frowned.
Viola Thompson comforted her, “Well, as long as you know that in your heart, don’t care about what they say. Facts speak louder than words.”
Mrs. Knight heard these words and looked up at Viola Thompson. Her eyes were full of deep emotions.
This seemingly simple sentence shows a great vision.
If it were someone else, they would hardly be able to remain so calm and composed.
It’s hard to believe she’s only eighteen years old.
This girl.
She’s definitely not an ordinary person!
Fiona Knight then asked, “By the way, Viola, when’s your birthday?”
Viola replied, “October 28th.”
Fiona Knight secretly took note that when Viola’s birthday arrived, she would definitely give Viola a surprise.
The birthday banquet didn’t end until midnight.
After all the guests left, Olga angrily said, “That little bastard has really grown some skill!”
Reg Thompson was also very angry.
Elizabeth Thompson consoled, “Mom, Dad, don’t be angry. Mrs. Knight is not a confused person. Since they all believe Viola cured Fiona, there must be something extraordinary about my sister.”
Elizabeth Thompson had a broad perspective.
She knew that it was not the time to let her parents confront Viola.
After all, Viola had just made an engagement with the Lentz Clan.
On the other side.
Capital City.
Thompson Family Manor.
Sylvia Thompson brought home the packed pastries.
Lady Thompson was sitting on the sofa watching TV.
The TV was playing a family reunion show, where a separated family of three finally reunited. Lady Thompson’s tears flowed as she was deeply touched.
“Mom, I specially packed some pastries at Sweet Dessert House for you when I passed by. Try and see if it suits your taste.”
Nanny White, the maid standing nearby, immediately laughed and said, “l heard that Sweet Dessert House is a newly opened trendy shop, and their business is booming. You must line up for hours to buy. Some people even stand in line from morning to afternoon. You treat Mrs. Thompson so well, you are really filial.”
Sylvia Thompson explained, “Nanny White, you are exaggerating. I just waited in line for an hour.’
Following her words, Sylvia Thompson handed a pastry to Lady Thompson, “Mom, have a taste.’
Lady Thompson took the pastry, tasted it, and found it very sweet.
“l wonder if Viola has tasted this before.’
Thinking of Viola Thompson, Lady Thompson immediately lost her appetite and put down the pastry.
She felt very upset.
Seeing this, Sylvia Thompson’s smile faded slightly.
Viola Thompson.
It’s Viola Thompson again.
Did she not do enough?
Why did Lady Thompson always only think of Viola Thompson?
Is blood relationship really that important?
Just then, Sylvia Thompson’s phone rang. She looked at the message, her eyes shifting, and said, “Mom, I’m going to my room for a moment.” “Is there news about Viola?” Lady Thompson immediately asked.
Sylvia Thompson shook her head, “It’s about work..”
