Upon hearing that, Lady Thompsonâs eyes were filled with regret.
Even though she had been mentally prepared, she was still very sad.
Over the years, she had been constantly missing her daughter.
But fortunately, she still had Sylvia Thompson.
Although Sylvia was not her biological child, she raised her with her own hands, âSylvia, thank you.â
âMom, what are you talking about!â Sylvia held Lady Thompsonâs hand, âI am your daughter, and itâs my duty to do all this. I hope even more than you to find my sister soon, so our family can be reunited.â
Hearing this, Lady Thompson hugged Sylvia tightly and began to cry.
Sylvia patted Lady Thompsonâs back gently to comfort her while a faint light flashed in her eyes, which Lady Thompson couldnât see. At that moment, she was even sadder than Lady Thompson.
Why.
Why couldnât Lady Thompson treat her as her own daughter?
She had been with Lady Thompson for eighteen years, while the other Viola had been with her for just a few days?
Was it just because she didnât come out of Lady Thompsonâs womb?
No.
It was unfair to her.
Sylvia tried to calm herself down, âMom, donât be sad. I believe my sister wouldnât want to see you cry every day. And you still have me, as long as Iâm here, I wonât give up looking for my sister.â
âSylvia, youâre a good child.â
Lady Thompson didnât want to be sad all the time but, after all, Viola was the child she had painstakingly given birth to after carrying her in her womb for ten months.
That was her daughter, irreplaceable by anyone else.
After comforting her for a while, Sylvia continued, âMom, let me help you to the bed to rest for a bit?â
Lady Thompson nodded.
Helping Lady Thompson to the bed, tucking her in, Sylvia then turned around and left, gently closing the bedroom door.
Coming downstairs, Sylvia saw Edward Thompson walking in from outside.
Although Edward was only 26 years old, he was already a film emperor in the entertainment industry. With Sylvia being his only little sister and quite a few years younger, he pampered her a lot.
âSylvia, come and see what your third brother has bought for you!â
Sylvia ran down with a smile and hugged Edward affectionately, âWhy did you have time to come back today, third brother?â
âI came back to see you.â Edward patted his sisterâs head, his face full of affection.
For a split second, the smile on Sylviaâs face froze.
Come back to see her?
Wasnât it because today was Violaâs birthday?
Hypocritical.
âWhat good stuff did you bring me?â Sylvia asked.
âYou guess.â Edward said.
Sylvia put her arms around Edwardâs arm and began to act coquettishly, âOh, I canât guess! Just tell me, third brother!â
âYou little fool.â
Edward patted Sylviaâs head and then took out the gift box, âSee for yourself.â Sylvia opened the gift box and, after seeing what was inside, screamed in excitement and then jumped onto Edward, hugging him, âThank you, third brother! Youâre so nice!â
Edward held her with a smile, âLittle monkey, get down, youâre not a child anymore.â
âNo, no! I want to be like when I was a child.â Sylvia hugged Edward tightly.
Edward had a helpless expression on his face.
What could he do!
His own sister could only be pampered.
Just then, footsteps were heard outside the door.
Seeing the figure coming in, Edward immediately let go of Sylvia, who was hanging on him, âBig brother.â
Sylvia also hurriedly stood up straight, âBig brother.â
Mandel Thompson, with his 1.89 meter tall stature, wearing a handmade suit, handsome facial features, impressively sculpted face lines, and the sharpness of a businessman in his eyes, was not one to make jokes and was usually quite strict with his siblings.
Even a devil like Edward had to behave properly in front of Mandel.
With a glance, Mandel spoke, âYou are both grown-ups now, be more mindful of your behavior. What would others think if they saw you?â
Sylvia didnât say anything.
Edward said, âSylvia is our own sister.â
Mandel frowned slightly, âWhen a son grows up, he should avoid his mother. When a daughter grows up, she should avoid her father. All the more so for siblings?
Edward didnât dare to argue any further.
Sylvia lowered her head, feeling wronged, âBig brother, I know I was wrong.â She knew.
All that talk about sons avoiding their mothers and daughters avoiding their fathers was just an excuse.
Everything was simply because Mandel didnât like her.
Because she had no blood relation with them.
Mandel said âbe more careful next timeâ and then turned and left.
Watching his retreating figure, Sylvia felt extremely wronged, and her eyes instantly turned red.
Seeing her like this, Edward couldnât help but feel heartache and immediately comforted her, âSylvia, donât be sad. Big brother is like this towards everyone, not just you.âSylvia nodded, âYeah, I know, I donât blame my big brother.â âGood.â Edward comforted softly.
At this moment, Brandon stood in front of the railing on the second floor,
âSylvia, come up.â
âComing.â Sylvia wiped her tears and immediately went upstairs.
Sylvia entered the study.
Brandon sat in the office chair and opened a file in front of him, âAny new updates from Viola recently?â
Itâs Viola again.
Sylviaâs eyes flashed a look of loss, and then quickly returned to normal, âNo.â
Brandon glanced at Sylvia, âSend me the information from this period of time to look at.â
âAlright.â Sylvia nodded.
Brandon wanted to see Violaâs materials with his own eyes.
What does this mean?
Does he not trust her?
Sylvia bit her lip.
River City.
North Bridge High School.
Fiona Knight was home recuperating from her injury and didnât come to school today.
Viola Thompson was reviewing math.
At this moment, a classmate named Diana Hershey sitting behind her poked Violaâs back with her hand, âBeautiful Thompson.â
âHmm?â Viola turned her head slightly.
Diana continued, âThe International Violin Competition will be held in River City. Are you interested in participating? Our class teacher asked me to collect the list of names.
Viola had little interest in it, shaking her head slightly.
Diana looked at Viola and threw out an olive branch, âBeautiful Thompson, 1010 is also sponsoring this event. If you win first place, youâll not only get a trophy but also a 1010 diamond membership. You can enjoy free milk tea for life, unlimited times.â
Diana desperately wanted Viola to participate in the violin competition.
The reason was something that happened yesterday at noon.
Yesterday was Saturday.
Diana went shopping with a few of her good friends to buy clothes, and during that time, they talked about Viola, about how pretty she was and how excellent her grades were.
Unexpectedly, they ran into some students from the International School.
In their conversation, they looked down on Viola and belittled her as a country bumpkin who couldnât even speak French.
As Viola Thompsonâs loyal fan, Diana couldnât bear to see her being insulted like this, so she argued with them.
As a result, those students from the International School challenged Viola Thompson to participate in the violin competition.
They even mocked Viola, saying her hands were only good for picking up trash.
Diana was almost infuriated to death and impulsively agreed on Violaâs behalf to participate in the violin competition.
She wanted those trash students from the International School to know that Violaâs hands were definitely not for picking up garbage.
Actually, 1010 didnât sponsor this event at all. The reason Diana dared to say that was because 1010 was owned by her family. As long as she said the word, her dad would offer a diamond membership reward to the winner of the violin competition.
Hearing this, Violaâs eyes brightened, âReally?â
She could skip the competition,
But she couldnât miss out on milk tea!
Diana nodded hastily, âOf course!â
She knew that Viola could resist any temptation except milk tea.
Viola thought for a while, âThen Iâll sign up.â
Diana was very excited, immediately taking a notebook to write down Violaâs name, afraid that she would change her mind in the next second.
After school in the evening, Viola passed by a musical instrument store and took a fancy to a violin worth three thousand dollars.
The shop owner smiled and said, âThis violin is for beginners. Are you just starting to learn, young lady?â
Viola replied, âIâm using it for a competition.â
âCompetition?â The shop owner was stunned at first, then said, âIn that case, this violin definitely wonât work! This violin is only suitable for beginners and the sound quality is not that good. I recommend you buy this one. Although it is a bit expensive, itâs worth it. If you use it for a competition, youâre sure to win.â
Viola smiled, âItâs fine, Iâll just tune it when I get home. Letâs go with this one.â The shop owner looked at Viola.
He felt that she was talking nonsense. With a three thousand dollar violin, even if tuned to a master level, it would still not produce the right feeling.
However, the customer is always right. Since Viola insisted on this one, he couldnât say anything about it.
Looking at Viola, he felt that she was a complete beginner and didnât know anything about playing the violin. She must have chosen this entry-level model for the competition just to show off.
In the evening.
Viola Thompson and Elizabeth Thompson arrived home almost at the same time.
What a coincidence, both of them were carrying a violin.
Elizabeth looked at Viola, a gentle smile on her lips, âSis, do you like playing the violin too? Iâve been learning it for eleven years. If thereâs anything you donât understand, feel free to ask me.â
Olga was right, Viola Thompson really was disgusting. (f)reewe(b)novel
Crude imitation. Whatever she did, Viola Thompson did the same!
Why not just be yourself?
Why must you imitate her?
