Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot-Chapter 548 - : 191: She is the unattainable phoenix (Late Night)
Chapter 548: 191: She is the unattainable phoenix (Late Night)
As she spoke the last four words, Sylvia Thompson’s eyes were filled with a sinister expression.
She was the high-flying phoenix.
A phoenix that soared through the sky.
What did Aunt Zhang amount to?
Sylvia Thompson looked down at Aunt Zhang, “It disgusts me to even look at you now! Get out of my room right away, out, now!”
Aunt Zhang felt heartbroken.
She didn’t harbor any resentment towards Sylvia, not at all.
It was all her own fault.
Back then, she shouldn’t have spared that wretched girl’s life!
Aunt Zhang took a deep breath, tried her best to compose her emotions, and then left Sylvia’s room.
As she stepped out of Sylvia’s room again, her face showed no trace of her previous distress.
This was the only thing she could do for her daughter.
In order not to arouse any suspicion.
Aunt Zhang’s attitude towards Viola was even better.
Thus.
No one in the Thompson family ever noticed Aunt Zhang’s abnormality.
At this moment, Nanny Walson came over with a smile, “Aunt Zhang, do you have a moment?”
“Nothing much.” Aunt Zhang also looked up with a smile.
Nanny Walson continued, “Could you please go to the kitchen and bring Mrs. Thompson her nourishing soup?”
“Sure.”
“Thank you, Aunt Zhang,” Nanny Walson lowered her voice, “I need to step outside to answer a phone call.”
Aunt Zhang has always been helpful to others.
So whenever the servants in the house needed help, they would go straight to her.
Aunt Zhang smiled and said, “Go ahead.”
Nanny Walson left to answer the phone.
Aunt Zhang went to the kitchen to fetch Mrs. Thompson’s nourishing soup.
Since her serious illness, although there had been no significant changes in Mrs. Thompson’s health, she would drink nourishing soup almost every day.
It was also because of the Thompson’s vast wealth that they could afford it. If they were an ordinary family, Mrs. Thompson would have been long gone.
The servants often joked that, if Mrs. Thompson were born in their family, the grass on her grave would probably be half a person’s height by now.
Aunt Zhang successfully fetched the soup and brought it to Mrs. Thompson.
The door was left ajar.
As she approached the door, she could hear the conversation inside.
“Mom, Sylvia is still very young. Rushing to find her a match like this, isn’t it a bit premature?”
Mrs. Thompson squinted her eyes, “Mary, don’t say I’m being biased. She’s not one of our own, and her heart can never truly merge with ours.”
Mary kept quiet.
Although Sylvia had no blood relation to her, Mary had raised her with her own hands.
As a mother, she hoped that her daughter would be happy in the future.
Having said that, Mrs. Thompson continued, “All these incidents happening in our family recently, not one of them can be separated from her!”
Although she hadn’t found any evidence.
But she always felt that these things were directly related to Sylvia.
Whether it was Viola being framed for being pregnant, or previously when Viola’s birth circumstances were exposed, and people called her heartless online…
“And there’s Bob. I admit, he’s pretty foolish, but if it weren’t for Sylvia’s instigation, he would never have such a negative impression of Viola!”
Even though Sylvia was stirring the pot in this matter, Bob was also at fault.
He should reflect on why, as brothers, Borden and Brandon were not influenced by the same?
No matter what happened, Brandon and Borden would unconditionally believe in Viola.
But what about Bob?
He should pay the price for this.
Upon hearing Mrs. Thompson’s words, Aunt Zhang’s hands trembled.
Sylvia was right.
These Thompsons were all heartless.
Sylvia had been so good and open hearted to the Thompson family, but how did they treat her?
The Thompson family treated her so poorly!
Aunt Zhang tried her best to compose herself, her face carrying a smile as she knocked on the door.
“Mrs. Thompson.”
Mrs. Thompson looked towards the door.
“Come in.”
Aunt Zhang pushed the door open.
“Mrs. Thompson, your nourishing soup.”
“Put it there,” Mrs. Thompson said.
Aunt Zhang nodded and placed the soup on the table.
Having done so, Aunt Zhang did not linger and turned around to leave, closing the door behind her.
Only after hearing the door close did Mary speak again, “Mom, no matter what we do, we need to have evidence. We can’t just blindly suspect Sylvia.”
According to her understanding of Sylvia.
Sylvia shouldn’t be capable of doing such things.
Mrs. Thompson snorted, “If I had evidence, I would have kicked her out long ago!”
How could someone with malicious intent to create discord leave any evidence so easily?
Mary sighed, “But making baseless assumptions about Sylvia is unfair to her.”
Mrs. Thompson looked at Mary, her eyes filled with disappointment.
Her daughter-in-law had her merits, but her shortcomings were not insignificant.
Mrs. Thompson did not continue on the subject, asking instead, “How is the preparation for the College Admission Celebration Banquet coming along?”
Since Viola had achieved such excellent results in the College Entrance Examination, the Thompson family naturally wanted to celebrate. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Especially Mrs. Thompson.She wished everyone knew about her outstanding granddaughter.
Mary Perryne nodded, “The invitations have been sent out already.”
The date was set for ten days later.
“Alright,” Mrs. Thompson continued, “Since the invitations have been sent out already, it’s time to start preparing.”
“Mhm.”
After receiving the Thompson family’s invitation, someone shared it on Facebook.
[Congratulations! So envious of the host!]
[Didn’t they say Viola Thompson only filled out one choice? If she didn’t pass the re-examination, this College Admission Celebration Banquet would be a joke.]
[What kind of thinking is that? Can’t stand the idea of others doing well? How do you know the princess won’t pass the re-examination of Capital University?]
[I also want to attend the princess’s College Admission Celebration Banquet!]
[What’s your relationship with the princess, host?]
[Host, host! Is the princess really a beauty in real life?]
The host replied under this comment: [Very beautiful, the princess is a hundred times more beautiful than on camera!]
Inside Sylvia Thompson’s room.
Her emotions collapsed once again.
When she was accepted to university back then, although her parents held a celebration banquet too, it wasn’t as grand as this one.
As for Viola…
Sawyer Thompson and Mary Perryne couldn’t wait to invite all the people related to the Thompson family.
As expected, there’s a difference with one’s own child!
Sylvia Thompson took a deep breath.
Tried hard to calm herself down.
Just wait.
She was curious to see how Viola would handle herself if she didn’t pass the re-examination of Capital University!
Thinking of this, a sinister light flashed in Sylvia’ eyes.
She didn’t believe that the God of Fate would favor Viola every time.
**
In an urban village.
Olivia Cooper was sweeping the floor at home.
She had to clean the house thoroughly, so her mother wouldn’t be unhappy when she returned.
Today was her mother’s birthday, Olivia had saved her pocket money and bought her mother a small cake.
Thinking of this, the corner of Olivia’s mouth curled into a slight smile.
Even if her mother didn’t treat her well, she was still her mother after all.
Just then, the door was pushed open from outside.
“Mom,” Olivia turned around happily.
But she saw the person coming in with a gloomy face.
Doom was approaching.
Olivia’s smile froze at the corners of her mouth, and before she could react, Aunt Zhang picked up the wooden stick leaning against the wall and hit her on the back directly.
Ouch!
It hurt a lot!
It hurt so much that she could barely breathe.
Olivia completely lay on the ground, looking back at Aunt Zhang, her eyes full of fear, “Mom…”
Even though the pain had twisted her features, Olivia didn’t dare to cry.
“It’s all your fault! You little bitch!”
Aunt Zhang now saw Olivia as Viola, her eyes filled with resentment.
If she had known back then that it would come to this, she shouldn’t have let Viola live.
Aunt Zhang raised the wooden stick and kept hitting one after the other.
Every hit landed precisely on Olivia’s back.
When Aunt Zhang finally ran out of strength, she stopped.
Olivia lay on the ground like that.
Just a slight movement, and a tearing pain came from her back.
She was in so much pain.
So much pain!
This time, Aunt Zhang hit even harder than before.
Olivia could barely breathe.
Just then,
Footsteps were heard outside the door again.
A tall, skinny middle-aged man entered unsteadily, reeking of alcohol and carrying a wine bottle in his hand.
His hair was somewhat thinning.
This was Olivia’s foster father, William.
William strode straight to Aunt Zhang and stopped, “Go and cook for me!”
Aunt Zhang looked up at him, “Why did you drink again?”
“You shameless woman!” Without a word, William slapped Aunt Zhang, “It’s none of your business whether I drink or not! You’re just a useless thing who can’t even give birth to a son!”
With a slap, Aunt Zhang’s face immediately swelled up.
Olivia’s eyes dimmed.
Most of the time, she would blame her gender.
If she had been a boy, maybe her mother wouldn’t have beaten her and kicked her.
And her father might not have ignored her.
“And you,” William glanced at Olivia lying on the ground, “You lazy thing! What are you doing lying on the ground!”
“Hss…”
Olivia’s body was already injured, and with William kicking her like this, she couldn’t even speak a complete sentence due to the pain.
William frowned slightly and looked at Aunt Zhang, “You beat her again, didn’t you?”
