Translator: 549690339
Harlan Lentz didn’t have any objections to the marriage.
As long as Terrence Lentz was happy, that was all that mattered.
But Eleanor Armstrong still couldn’t get over her reservations.
Whenever she thought of the manipulative Thompson Clan, she couldn’t help but seethe with anger, “Although they say that they’re alright, we don’t really know anything about that adopted daughter! It’s impossible to know someone’s true nature just by their appearance.”
At this point, Eleanor sighed, “There are so many girls in River City, why did
Terrence choose that country village girl?”
Harlan stood up, put his hand on Eleanor’s shoulder, and sat her down on the sofa. Laughing, he said, “Children and grandchildren have their own destinies. Don’t worry too much about it.”
Eleanor sighed again, “Terrence has had a more difficult and heart-wrenching experience than most people. I don’t want him to be deceived.”
Terrence has been through a lot, both things that others could see and those they couldn’t.
Eleanor continued, “Do you really think that the adopted daughter doesn’t have any schemes if she can make Terrence so devoted to her?”
Harlan massaged Eleanor’s shoulders, “Let’s give Terrence some time. Time will reveal a person’s true colors. Eventually, he will see Viola Thompson for who she really is.”
Eleanor closed her eyes, lost in thought for a moment, and finally said, “l hope so.”
North Bridge High School.
Class Six.
Diana Hershey walked up to Viola Thompson’s seat, “Beautiful Thompson.” “Hmm.” Viola looked up slightly.
Diana handed Viola a piece of paper, “Beautiful Thompson, this is the list of our school’s violin competition participants. Take a look. They’re also in a group chat, so you can scan the QR code to join. If there are any announcements, they’ll be posted in the group.”
“Okay.” Viola took the list, took out her phone, and scanned the QR code to join the group.
The last class of the afternoon was physical education.
After the gym teacher led the warm-up exercise around the field, the students were free to engage in their own activities.
The boys played basketball, while the girls gathered to chat about their favorite idols and skincare products.
Diana approached Viola, “Beautiful Thompson, I forgot to bring my phone. Can I borrow yours to play a game?”
Viola nodded and handed Diana her phone, “Download whatever game you want.”
“Thank you!” Diana said excitedly, “Beautiful Thompson, don’t you play games usually?”
Viola shook her head slightly.
“What do you do then?” Diana asked.
Viola replied, “l read novels more often.”
Diana smiled and said, “What a coincidence, I like reading novels too.”
It didn’t take long for the game to finish downloading.
Diana logged in to the game.
A group of girls gathered to play together.
One of them looked at Diana’s phone and said, “Diana, what kind of cheap
phone are you using? Don’t you dare slow us down during this crucial match.
Why don’t you go borrow another phone?”
Upon hearing this, the others also turned to look at Diana’s phone.
The phone looked old.
The logo was unfamiliar.
It couldn’t even be considered a niche brand, only a miscellaneous one.
Someone joked, “Diana, did your family go bankrupt?”
Diana raised her head and said, “Don’t judge my phone by its appearance. It’s actually great to use and doesn’t lag while gaming.”
“How can an old phone like yours not lag?” free novelkiss.com
“You’ll see.’
A moment later, the game began.
Just when everyone thought that Diana’s phone would definitely lag, it didn’t, and it was actually very smooth.
Due to the large number of people participating in the game, everyone else’s internet connection was lagging several times.
Diana smiled and said, “Now you know not to judge a phone by its appearance, huh?”
“Damn, Diana, where did you buy that phone?”
“Awesome, awesome!”
After the game, Diana returned the phone to Viola, “Beautiful Thompson, your phone is amazing! Where did you buy it? I want to get one too!”
Viola took back her phone, “1 bought it at a roadside store, and I assembled it myself afterward.”
Hearing this, Diana was astonished, “Beautiful Thompson, you actually know how to assemble phones! ”
Viola nodded slightly, “l know a little bit.”
Diana looked at Viola with admiration in her eyes.
After school, Viola rode her bike to the Knight Family’s house.After a few days, Fiona Knight had recovered significantly.
Viola Thompson changed Fiona’s medicine, “Fiona, you can go to school tomorrow. ”
“Really?” Fiona asked.
Viola nodded slightly.
Fiona was very excited, and then said, “By the way Vio, this is the handmade milk tea my grandma prepared for you, give it a try.”
Seeing the milk tea, Viola’s eyes curved, and she immediately picked up a cup,
“Thank you.”
The handmade milk tea had a very rich taste, which Viola liked.
“You’re welcome, Vio,” Fiona held Viola’s arm, “My grandma said you can treat this place like your own home.”
At this moment, Madam Knight walked in from outside. After greeting Viola, she asked, “Miss Thompson, how is Fiona’s recovery? When can she fully heal?”
Viola put down the milk tea, “Fiona is recovering very well, it should be about a month before she can completely take off the mask.”
“Really?” Madam Knight was very excited.
“Yes.” Viola nodded slightly.
Madam Knight held Viola’s hand excitedly, “Miss Thompson, how can I thank you enough?”
Viola smiled lightly, the corners of her mouth forming shallow dimples, “Madam, I am a doctor and also Fiona’s best friend. Seeing Fiona getting better makes me very happy too.”
Looking at the girl before her, Madam Knight felt full of emotions.
Viola wasn’t only incredibly beautiful and skilled in medicine, but also modest and polite.
She was far superior to Elizabeth Thompson.
Indeed, an empty vessel makes the most noise while a full vessel makes no sound.
That evening, Viola stayed at the Knight residence for dinner.
After dinner, she still rode her bike back home.
The night in River City was brightly lit, with beautiful neon lights everywhere.
As Viola rode into an alley, she sensed something was wrong.
In the air.
There was a faint bloody scent.
Viola slowed down.
At this moment, a man holding his arm staggered towards her.
Several people with steel pipes followed behind him: “Chase him!”
Viola held the handlebars with both hands, one long leg on the ground, and immediately blocked the man’s path with her bike, “Get on.”
This action was exceptionally cool!
The man hesitated for a moment, then sat on the rear seat of the bicycle.
The next second, the bike sped off in the opposite direction.
Viola stopped the bike at a bustling roadside stall, “They should not dare to chase us here, you can contact a friend to pick you up.” The man lifted his gaze and finally saw the girl’s face clearly.
From the herbal market, falling by the roadside, to tonight…
If he remembered correctly, this should be their third encounter.
“Thank you,” the man said, “My name is Trevor Sherman, 1 just lost my phone. Can I borrow yours to make a call?” Viola nodded slightly, handing him her phone.
A cheap phone.
Trevor raised his eyebrows and made a call.
After the call, Trevor returned the phone to Viola, “Thank you again for tonight. What’s your name? I will repay you.”
“It was nothing, Mr. Sherman, don’t worry about it.” Viola took back her phone, “l need to go.”
As Viola walked away, Trevor squinted his eyes.
Soon, a luxury car stopped by the road. A man in a suit and leather shoes stepped out of the car and hurried towards Trevor, “Boss, are you alright?”
Trevor wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, “I’m fine. I just fell for a few old men’s tricks.’
Getting in the car.
Trevor handed a phone number to his assistant, “Find out who the owner of this mobile number is.’
“Understood, boss.’
Half an hour later, the assistant turned to Trevor, “Boss, the owner of this mobile number is Viola Thompson, the adopted daughter of the Thompson
Clan.’
Upon hearing this, the man squinted his eyes.
The adopted daughter of the Thompson Clan.
No wonder he kept bumping into her lately.
She must have been trying to climb the social ladder.
As the CEO of Su Corporation, he had encountered countless such incidents.
After all, how many people in this world could resist the allure of boundless wealth and power?
