Translator: 549690339

Mrs. Thompson is very worried now.

She is worried that Viola Thompson will be bullied.

Seeing Viola, her face still looks calm, as if nothing can affect her emotions. “Grandma, don’t worry, I know the boundaries.”

Boundaries?

Mrs. Thompson looked at Viola. “What boundaries do you have?”

Viola just smiled without saying anything.

From Mrs. Thompson’s fall upstairs to her ID card being stolen, Viola knew very well that none of this was a coincidence.

Sylvia Thompson had been with the Thompson family for eighteen years, and she had eighteen years of emotional ties with the family. Outside, she was even the second young lady of the Thompson family.

Therefore, she must not take advantage of this opportunity to drive her away.

She had to come up with real evidence to make everyone convinced.

After all, a fox always reveals its tail.

She would never let Mrs. Thompson suffer this injury in vain.

Mrs. Thompson sighed softly, “Remember, Sylvia is not a good person. Although she was raised by your mother, she is nothing like your mother! You two are not from the same world, and you should never confide in her! Understand?”

“Mm,” Viola nodded. “I understand, Grandma.”

On the other side.

Mary Perryne came to the hospital.

Edward Thompson was feeding her chicken soup.

Upon seeing Mary, Sylvia smiled and said, “Mom is here!”

“Mm,” Mary nodded with joy all over her face. “Sylvia, I just asked the doctor, and he said you can be discharged tomorrow.”

Speaking of being discharged, Sylvia was first very happy, then her face darkened again. “Mom, let me move out and live on my own. If I go back now, Grandma will definitely be unhappy, and sister ”

Speaking of this, Sylvia continued, “Because of the White family’s affair, my sister must have a deep misunderstanding of me. I feel guilty myself. If it wasn’t for my careless friendships, my sister wouldn’t have had her ID stolen. It’s all my fault!”

By the end, Sylvia was crying out loud.

Feeling extremely uncomfortable.

“Sylvia, don’t worry. Viola said it’s not your fault,” Mary patted Sylvia’s back and continued, “She even welcomes you home!”

Viola welcomes her home?

This directly dumbfounded Sylvia!

How could Viola welcome her home?

Viola should take advantage of this opportunity to drive her out of the Thompson family.

Sylvia had even thought of the next countermeasures.

She was the legitimate second young lady of the Thompson family, and if the Thompsons wanted to kick her out, they would need a clear reason. Otherwise, with her influence on the Internet, there would definitely be a storm of public opinion

After all, Edward Thompson still supported her so much.

But now.

Viola’s reaction was completely beyond her expectations.

How did things turn out like this?

Sylvia was stunned at first, then smiled and asked, “Is that really what my sister said?”

“Of course it’s true, Viola is a very good child. I hope you two sisters can get along well in the future!” Mary said with a heavy heart.

Edward Thompson frowned at the side, “Is my younger sister not going to apologize?”

Sylvia had jumped into the lake, yet Viola still acted as if nothing had happened.

It was really too much!

Hearing this, Mary immediately stood up and slapped Edward Thompson, “What the hell are you talking about!? In this matter, Viola is the victim! If it wasn’t for the doctor’s discovery, how could Viola be able to clear herself?”

Although Sylvia didn’t do this.

Mary knew very well that it was related to Sylvia no matter what.

After all, Iris White was Sylvia’s friend. If Sylvia’s relationship with Iris was not so close, Iris would have no chance to come to the Thompson family and steal Viola’s ID card.

Hearing this sentence, Sylvia felt very unpleasant in her heart.

What did Mary mean by that?

Was she blaming her?

Upon saying this, Mary looked at Edward Thompson and said solemnly, “Never say such nonsense again!”

“Mom, this matter is indeed my little sister’s problem! Without her, would Sylvia have almost lost her life?” Edward couldn’t help holding his grudge.

How much had Sylvia suffered since Viola came back?

“So you mean I should not have found your little sister back?” Mary shouted angrily, “You don’t forget, it’s also because of Sylvia that Viola had her ID card stolen! Is this how you play the role of a big brother?”

In Mary’s view, a harmonious family can make everything successful. The reason why she tried to mediate between the two sides was to hope that the family could get along well with each other.

Sylvia’s jump into the lake could not be blamed on Viola. After all, Viola was also a victim.

If there was anyone to blame, it would be Sylvia’s careless friendships.

Mrs. Thompson’s suspicion was not without reason, so Mary did not blame her either.

Edward Thompson fell silent, just staring at Mary.He could clearly feel that Mary Perryne had also changed.

Everyone in the Thompson family had changed.

They had become completely focused on Viola Thompson.

Sylvia Thompson spoke up at the right time, “Mom, brother, don’t quarrel over this. Mom is right. My sister is the biggest victim in this matter. It was my fault for not choosing my friends wisely, so I don’t blame her at all.”

Seeing Sylvia like this, Edward Thompson let out a light sigh.

Seeing Sylvia being so understanding, Mary felt relieved.

Sylvia was a little annoyed. She had originally guided public opinion well, but she didn’t expect Viola not to follow her plan.

Ultimately, she had underestimated Viola.

With this thought, Sylvia squinted her eyes.

On the other side.

During this period, Claire and her husband Benjamin Martin were taking their medicine on time every day, but it had no effect.

Claire was very anxious, “Didn’t Miss Thompson say that the medicine would have an effect in a week? We’ve been taking it for half a month, but there’s still no response. It’s so strange!”

Benjamin Martin laughed and comforted her, “Let’s not be anxious. These things take time. Besides, we’ve been DINKs all these years, haven’t we?”

He could actually think things through.

Claire embraced Benjamin’s medicine, “I just can’t wait any longer. Ben, thank you.”

Back then, when Claire had just met Benjamin, she mentioned the DINK issue. In that era when people were not so open-minded, Benjamin agreed to the relationship without hesitation. After they got married, he didn’t force her to get pregnant and even never brought it up.

Later, when Claire herself wanted a child and didn’t want to continue with the DINK lifestyle, Benjamin unconditionally supported her.

Claire was always grateful that she could meet Benjamin.

If it were another man, he might not be so unconditionally tolerant of her.

“Silly girl, why are you thanking me? I should be the one thanking you,” Benjamin kissed Claire’s forehead, “Meeting you is the greatest happiness in my life.”

Claire smiled very happily and continued, “I have to go to the company later, and I might have to work late tonight.”

“I’ll take you there,” Benjamin said.

“Okay,” Claire nodded her head.

Benjamin continued, “By the way, Claire, my mother is in Capital City.”

“Where is she!” Claire said with a smile, “I’m not going to work this afternoon. Let’s go and pick her up together.”

“No need,” Ben replied. “Mom knows you’re busy. I’ll pick her up later. Besides, you know how Mom’s temper is, so I won’t let her stay at our house.”

“Ah? Isn’t that not so good?” Claire frowned.

After all, that’s her own mother-in-law. Although the two have some differences in personality, when the elderly come from thousands of miles away, they ought to be welcomed into the home.

“It’s fine,” Benjamin replied. “My mom is here on some business and will be going back in a few days. We can just have her over for dinner tomorrow.”

Claire nodded, “I’ll listen to you.”

Benjamin took Claire to her company, and then went to the train station to pick up his mother.

“Ben! I’m over here!”

Seeing Benjamin Martin, Mrs. Martin waved her hands happily.

“Mom.”

“My brother!” Mrs. Martin didn’t come alone; she also brought her younger daughter, Chloe Martin.

Benjamin was happy to see his family, “Chloe also came!”

Chloe laughed and said, “I came to see my nephew. Didn’t mom say that my sister-in-law gave us a big fat nephew?”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Martin instantly patted the packages beside her, “Look how many good things I brought back from home! This is our local chicken, this is our local duck, and this is homemade noodles.”

Benjamin took the large and small packages from his mother’s hand, “We can buy all these here, Mom. You didn’t need to buy so much.”

“How can the stuff we buy be as good as what we have at home!” Eager to see her grandson, Mrs. Martin continued, “Let’s hurry and go see our fat grandson!”

Nothing was more important to her than her big fat grandson.

Benjamin nodded and led his mother and sister to the parking lot.

Half an hour later, the car pulled up in front of a small villa.

The servant took the packages that Mrs. Martin had brought back, “Sir has returned.”

“Yes.”

Mrs. Martin and Chloe looked around the interior of the villa.

Mrs. Martin was very dissatisfied, “What’s going on? Why didn’t you buy Iris a bigger villa? She’s carrying on the family line for the Martins. We can’t treat her poorly. This small villa is too shabby for her!”

More importantly, the grandson could not be treated poorly.

Her grandson’s eating, clothing, and other needs must be satisfied with the best.

“Do you know the housing prices in Capital City? Even this small villa cost nearly 100 million. If we change to a bigger villa, she will definitely find out.”

The ‘she’ mentioned here was, of course, referring to Claire.

The land in Capital City was very valuable. Although Claire didn’t usually check the accounts, if they spent too much, it would definitely leave traces.

“Let her find out, then,” Mrs. Martin didn’t care about Claire at all. “She’s nothing but a hen that can’t lay eggs. How can she have a say in Iris carrying on the family line for the Martins?”

This kind of woman was just too domineering!
