Translator: 549690339
Elizabeth Thompson was naturally noble and disdained the tactics of ordinary people,
She knew Trevor Sherman all too well.
He was indeed capable, but also arrogant and conceited.
If she treated him like an ordinary person, she would also become one of those cheap women who throw themselves at him in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, Olga nodded in agreement, “Emma, it seems like you have a point.”
For someone like Trevor Sherman, a different approach should be employed.
“Mom, I’ll go downstairs first.”
“Go ahead.” Olga’s face was full of affection. Trevor Sherman was standing by the car.
“Mantou.”
“Come here,’
Just then, a faint voice echoed through the air.
Light and gentle.
Trevor’s gaze followed the voice.
He saw a figure standing at the end of the garden.
The graceful figure was shrouded in a cluster of blooming red roses.
Although her face was not clear, the transcendent aura surrounding her was unmatched by ordinary people.
This scene, involuntarily, made one recall those words.
Beauty surpasses the flowers.
Could this be…
Elizabeth Thompson?
Only Elizabeth Thompson could possess such an extraordinary aura.
Trevor stared, somewhat dazed.
As soon as Elizabeth stepped down the stairs, she saw Trevor standing there.
Elizabeth squinted her eyes.
Was he looking at that bastard?
Out of nowhere, Elizabeth felt a sense of crisis welling within her.
No.
She cannot let that bastard snatch Trevor away.
“Boss Sherman.’
Elizabeth lifted her skirt and approached him with a smiling face.
“Miss Thompson.”
Seeing Elizabeth, Trevor was momentarily taken aback.
This was Elizabeth Thompson, but who was the person standing in the garden?
Nevertheless, Trevor soon recovered and said, “Miss Thompson.”
Elizabeth glanced in the direction of the garden and softly said, “Boss
Sherman, do you know my sister too?”
Without waiting for Trevor to answer, Elizabeth laughed, “No wonder my sister came downstairs today. She usually doesn’t like to come down. Turns out she was waiting for Boss Sherman.” Her casual remark stung Trevor’s ears.
So that was Viola Thompson.
No wonder.
Trevor turned back, “Miss Thompson, you misunderstand, I don’t know her that well.’
Just a village girl trying to climb the social ladder, not worth his attention. As soon as he finished speaking, Trevor opened the car door, “Please, Miss Thompson.”
“Thank you, Boss Sherman.”
Elizabeth gracefully took her seat.
Trevor also sat in the car and instructed the driver, “Let’s go.”
“Alright.”
Trevor turned to Elizabeth, “Miss Thompson, do you need to wind down the window for some fresh air?”
“No need, thank you,” Elizabeth laughed, “Actually, Boss Sherman, you don’t have to be so polite, just call me by my name.”
Trevor hesitated for a moment before nodding, “Alright.”
Elizabeth looked at Trevor and couldn’t help but laugh.
Trevor looked at her, puzzled, “What’s the matter?”
Elizabeth shook her head, “Nothing, I just think you’re cute, Big Brother Sherman.’
A simple sentence.
But it thrilled Trevor’s heart.
Big Brother Sherman.
It seemed that no one had ever called him that before.
The Sherman Family residence.
Mrs. Sherman stood at the entrance, her face full of anticipation.
Trevor was bringing a special girl home today.
Mrs. Sherman wanted to see what kind of girl had captured her grandson’s heart.
Before long, a car stopped at the entrance of the Sherman Family villa.
“He’s back, ma’am, the young master is back,” the housekeeper excitedly said to Mrs. Sherman.
Mrs. Sherman smiled and approached.
Trevor got out of the car first and opened the door.
Soon, a young girl dressed in lavish clothing emerged.
“Grandma,” Trevor introduced Elizabeth to Mrs. Sherman, “This is Miss Thompson, Emma. And Emma, this is my grandmother.”
Elizabeth smiled her signature smile, “Hello Mrs. Sherman, please, just call me Emma.”
Nirs. Sherman nodded, “Please come in.’
For some reason, Mrs. Sherman felt that the girl was not as simple as she appeared.
Her thoughts were deeply hidden.
Elizabeth Thompson was elusive at first glance.
Mrs. Sherman looked at her, her brows slightly furrowed without a trace.
Trevor, who was usually arrogant and conceited, had high standards for women. It was hard to imagine him choosing someone like Elizabeth Thompson.
As they walked behind Trevor and Elizabeth, Mrs. Sherman suddenly seemed to remember something and quietly asked the housekeeper beside her, “Isn’t the number one scholar in River City named Elizabeth Thompson?”
The housekeeper nodded his head.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Sherman suddenly understood.
No wonder.
No wonder she didn’t like Elizabeth Thompson at first sight.
It turned out that she was the sister who Viola had saved by donating part of her liver.
If Elizabeth had any conscience at all, she would not have let her life- saving sister take her place in the arranged marriage.
As expected, a person’s first intuition never lies.
Although Mrs. Sherman was unhappy inside, she did not let it show.
Only after the banquet did she find Trevor, “Are you serious about Elizabeth Thompson?”
Trevor nodded, “She’s the first girl who has ever made my heart race.”
Mrs. Sherman asked, “How did you two meet? I feel that this girl is not simple, she is definitely not someone you can control.”
Elizabeth Thompson was haughty and proud, with high standards.
Otherwise, she would not have been able to create the image of the number one scholar in River City.
There were many talented people in River City, but most of them simply did not want to stand out.
Hearing this, Trevor furrowed his brows, “Grandma, Emma is not that kind of person, you misunderstood her.” Viola Thompson was the scheming one.
But Mrs. Sherman was kept in the dark.
“Don’t you see? She is using you,” Mrs. Sherman continued, “You’re usually so smart, why are you acting like you’ve been kicked in the head by a donkey right now! ”
“Emma and I met when I was on a blind date with Jasmine White. At the time, Jasmine’s face changed when she heard I was a driver. But Emma was different, not only did she not treat me with an odd look, she actually stood up for me.’
After hearing the story, Mrs. Sherman remarked, “In my opinion, Miss White was right to react that way. She waited for you at the cafe for so long, and in the end, you didn’t even call her. Instead, you sent your driver to dismiss her. If it were me, I would have cursed even worse! Do you think your actions showed her any respect?”
From Jasmine White’s point of view, Trevor was disrespectful.
Mrs. Sherman continued, “On the other hand, there’s Elizabeth Thompson. Without knowing the full story, she blames Miss White. What right does she have? Furthermore, even though Miss White has just returned from studying abroad and doesn’t know you, Elizabeth frequently attends social events with Reg Thompson. Are you telling me she doesn’t know who you are?”
“Have you thought about whether she’s getting close to you with ulterior motives?”
“Grandma, can you please not think of Emma as so calculating!” Trevor was exasperated, “She’s a very simple girl. You say she has motives; what are her motives?”
“Obviously, she sees you as a stepping stone.”
Stepping stones are meant to propel oneself higher and further..
