Translator: 549690339

At this point, Olga even doubted whether Viola had heard what she was saying clearly.

Otherwise, how could Viola refuse her directly?

A girl such as Viola from a small countryside village should be longing for a luxurious tea party, right?

Olga patiently said, “The tea party is at half-past eleven, and I’m giving you ten minutes to change your clothes quickly! If you miss the time, don’t blame us for not taking you.”

“I’ve told you,” Viola didn’t even raise her head, her white fingertips turning a page of the book, “I don’t have time.” Her voice was still indifferent.

Without any emotion.

Olga frowned slightly, the disgust in her eyes becoming more and more apparent, she truly was uncouth.

If it weren’t for Elizabeth speaking up for her, did she think she would be allowed to go to such a classy place?

But now, not only did Viola not appreciate Elizabeth, but she also didn’t know how to be grateful.

It’s true that dragons beget dragons, and phoenixes beget phoenixes, but a rat’s child will only be good at burrowing holes in the ground.

Viola’s birth parents must have not been anything remarkable. Otherwise, how could they have given birth to such a thing?

“Suit yourself,” Olga picked up the dress, “if you don’t go this time, don’t bother with similar occasions in the future!”

Olga thought that with this threat, Viola might be scared to some extent.

But Viola still appeared indifferent, as if she hadn’t heard a thing.

A bastard is just a bastard!

Olga was so angry that she gripped the dress tightly and glared at Viola before leaving.

It was at this moment that Olga noticed that she didn’t recognize a single character in the book Viola was holding.

It wasn’t English, and it didn’t seem like Korean or Japanese either.

Could Viola, a girl from a small countryside village, really understand it?

Did she think that by holding a foreign book, she could truly be like Elizabeth, fluent in four languages, and the renowned talented woman in River City?

Dream on!

Olga took the dress downstairs.

“Mom, why did you bring the dress back down?” Elizabeth had already changed her clothes, and today she was wearing a white blouse, a black high-waisted skirt, a pair of limited-edition white shoes from a luxury brand, and her delicate makeup made her look lovely.

The reputation of Elizabeth being the number one beauty in River City was well-founded.

“Does she not like the dress you picked for her?” inquired Elizabeth.

Olga felt a headache when thinking about Viola, thankful that Elizabeth considered her in all aspects.

But Viola had never treated Elizabeth as her sister!

“It’s not about the dress, she said she doesn’t have time,” Olga said.

Elizabeth looked upstairs, “Is she very busy?”

Viola had just returned from the countryside and didn’t know anyone in River City. Elizabeth couldn’t figure out what could be keeping her busy.

Olga continued, “I saw her upstairs holding a foreign book, pretending to be smart. She’s just asking for embarrassment!”

“A foreign book? From which country?” Elizabeth was curious and, remembering that Viola could speak English, said, “Maybe she can really understand it.”

Reg Thompson became wealthy in the 1990s, and he himself didn’t have much education. Therefore, he had a blind admiration for scholars, often imitating their elegance, purchasing many famous calligraphy works and paintings. After having Elizabeth, the talented daughter, he wished to show her off to the world, making sure everyone knew about her capabilities!

That’s why their living room had a large row of bookshelves filled with world-famous classics, and almost everyone who visited the Thompson’s knew about Elizabeth’s extensive knowledge.

Olga pointed to one of the books on the shelf, “It looks like this kind of writing.”

Elizabeth turned her head to look, “This is ancient Egyptian script.”

Even Elizabeth couldn’t fully comprehend the mysteries of ancient Egyptian script, let alone Viola.

It seemed she was truly pretending without understanding.

Elizabeth had never expected Viola’s vanity to be so strong. Viola must have seen the book about ancient Egyptian script on the shelf in the living room and then bought one herself.

But did Viola not understand one thing?

A crude imitation makes one look pitiful!

Olga continued, “If it weren’t for the marriage thing with the Lentz Clan, I wouldn’t want to see her for the rest of my life! She’s a bad omen!”

“Don’t say that about her,” Elizabeth said, “if she doesn’t want to go, don’t force her. It’s about time, let’s go first.”

Olga nodded and said, “Emma, she has never considered you as her sister.

Besides, you have no blood relation with her, and there is no need to be kind-hearted with her! It’s not worth it.’

Elizabeth smiled, “I don’t care how she treats me; all that matters is that I have a clear conscience.”

Seeing Elizabeth like this, Olga shook her head helplessly.

This girl was just too kind-hearted!

People say that kindness does not control soldiers, and righteousness does not serve business. Olga worried that Elizabeth might suffer losses in the future.

…Upstairs.

Viola Thompson was reading a book when she suddenly felt a little tired. She simply put the book over her head and fell asleep like that.

The little kitten on the floor jumped onto her body at this moment.

Viola instinctively wanted to wave it off but suddenly seemed to think of something and stopped her hand on the kitten’s body.

In a high-rise building opposite the Thompson’s Villa.

Two young men stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.

One of them had a tall stature, dressed in overalls and a black t-shirt, holding a telescope in one hand and putting the other hand in his pocket. Although his deep pupils were hidden under the telescope, the atmosphere around him could not be ignored.

His thin lips were tight.

The surrounding air was a bit heavy.

“Third Brother, did you see it?”

Adam Swantz was getting a little anxious, “It’s that unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) at three o’clock.”

Terrence Lentz slowly moved the telescope to the three o’clock direction.

A moment.

The man’s sexy Adam’s apple rolled up and down twice.

Within the telescope.

A beautiful woman was asleep.

A cute pet lay on her lap.

Although the girl had the book covering her face, this could not hide her lovely figure. Her long slender legs were somewhat uncomfortably bent on the hanging chair, a few strands of her hair fell from the chair, swaying in the wind.

This person…

“Is Thompson’s at three o’clock?”

A moment later, Terrence Lentz spoke softly.

His voice was somewhat low.

“I think so,” said Adam Swantz.

“Didn’t you say that the Thompson family has another daughter besides Kim Thompson?” Terrence Lentz continued to ask.

Adam Swantz felt a little helpless, “Third Brother, enough! I’ve explained it so many times, your fiancée’s name is Elizabeth Thompson, not some Kim.”

As he spoke, Adam Swantz continued, “The Thompson family had an adopted daughter before Elizabeth.”

At his words, Terrence Lentz seemed to think of something and frowned slightly.

“Speaking of which, that adopted daughter is quite unfortunate. When the

Thompson couple first got married, they couldn’t conceive for a long time.

Later, they adopted a daughter and then became pregnant! However, when Elizabeth was six or seven years old, she was diagnosed with liver failure. If it weren’t for the adopted daughter’s successful liver donation, Elizabeth wouldn’t have survived! But after Elizabeth recovered, the Thompsons sent the adopted daughter to the countryside without caring about her.”

Although the outside world claimed that the Thompsons sent the adopted daughter to the countryside because she was wayward, Adam Swantz didn’t think so.

No matter the adopted daughter’s character, simply because she had saved Elizabeth’s life, she should have been taken care of!

Terrence Lentz didn’t speak, his dark Phoenix eyes were hidden behind the telescope.

After a moment, he lowered the telescope and said, “Let’s go back.” Just two words.

Adam Swantz was startled, “Third Brother, did you see that UAV?”

“That’s impossible! There’s a UAV there for sure! Give me the telescope so I can take a look.”

“There’s nothing to see.” Terrence Lentz threw the telescope onto the sofa, “Let’s play video games.”

Upon hearing about playing video games, Adam Swantz was instantly energized, “Let’s go!”

The sound of the two playing video games upstairs reached Mrs. Swantz’s ears. Looking at her husband discussing business with Derek Swantz in the living room, she sighed.

After an unknown amount of time had passed.

Adam Swantz pushed a wheelchair downstairs and said, “Mom, Dad, I’m taking

Third Brother home. I won’t be back for dinner tonight.’

Mrs. Swantz smiled and nodded, “Okay, drive slowly on the road. Terrence, come and visit our house whenever you have time.”

Although Terrence Lentz had a bad reputation, he was after all her son’s good friend. Besides, Terrence’s character was not problematic and he had a handsome appearance, so Mrs. Swantz didn’t dislike him.

“Thank you, auntie.”

Mr. Swantz ignored his worthless son and had no desire to give Terrence

Lentz, a good-for-nothing, another glance. He turned and entered the study.

Derek Swantz collected the documents and followed his father into the study, ignoring Terrence Lentz as if he didn’t see him.

He was a man of great achievements, and besides Adam Swantz, his friends were all elites. Naturally, he wouldn’t waste time on two nobodies.

Adam Swantz pushed the wheelchair out and, thinking of his father’s and Derek’s attitudes, was afraid Terrence would feel upset. He then said, “My dad and that cheap brother of mine are always like that, Third Brother, don’t take it to heart..”
