Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

Boys have their merits.

If she were to have a daughter like Sylvia Thompson, she would rather stay childless.

Although she had never seen Sylvia Thompson do anything wrong, she just didn’t like Sylvia.

The first impression Sylvia gave her was that she was heavy-hearted.

Since Sylvia is not of the Thompson family bloodline, she couldn’t see any of the innate demeanor that was inherent to it.

Elena Williams held Penny Kalafatis’s hand, “Can you imagine how full of regret she’d be if Mrs. Thompson indeed could not take this strain any more?” In the end, Elena Williams sighed.

No one was more aware than Elena of what Mrs. Thompson had gone through over these years in her efforts to find Viola.

She had journeyed to mountainous regions and desert areas… Accommodating herself in the wild along the way, she even assisted many bereaved families in locating their lost children.

Yet, she had not found her own granddaughter.

Penny naturally knew what Elena was referring to when she spoke of regrets,

“Mrs. Thompson has the right karma, she will be alright.”

“l hope so!” Elena continued, “Tell me, do you think there’s any hope we can find Viola?”

Penny sighed, lowering her voice said, “The chances are slim.”

Even though she hoped that the Thompson family could be reunited soon, after searching for many years and still receiving no news, most likely there’s no hope left.

If they could have found her, they would have done so by now.

Elena also sighed, “In fact, I also feel that the chances of finding her are very low, but I don’t have the heart to tell Mrs. Thompson…”

On the other side.

Mandel Thompson had gone to the company for a while, where he made a thorough explanation of the things at hand to the vice president.

He then asked his assistant to book a flight to River City.

The earliest flight was at 1 a.m.

There was a significant temperature difference between River City and Capital

Whereas Capital City was already two degrees below zero, the temperature in River City was still summer-like, with a maximum daytime temperature reaching thirty degrees.

Mandel had a lifestyle assistant pack some clothes, before he left for the airport.

At 4 a.m., the plane landed on time at River City airport.

Standing in this unfamiliar land, Mandel felt a little emotional for a moment.

If Viola Thompson was truly his sister Viola.

Then this would have been where his younger sister had lived for over a decade.

At five in the morning, Mandel arrived at his hotel.

He did not order anyone to look for Viola Thompson, instead, he took Mrs.

Thompson’s phone with him. The next morning, Mandel sent a message to Viola Thompson with Mrs. Thompson’s WhatsApp.

[Hey Viola, this is Mandel Thompson. Would you mind meeting up? There’s something I’d like to talk to you about.]

After freshening up, Viola Thompson started checking her phone. Having read

Mandel’s message, she replied: [Sure.]

Mandel then responded: [I’ll come to you.] Viola sent her address over.

It was the address of a café near her home.

Upon receiving the address from Viola, Mandel Thompson immediately set off.

An hour later, he finally arrived at the café mentioned by Viola.

Before he entered, he noticed the figure sitting by the window.

The girl was wearing a white T-shirt.

And blue jeans.

Even in such a simple outfit, she gave off a refreshing presence.

Youthful and vibrant.

Was this his sister?

Mandel Thompson was taken aback.

In a moment, he regained his senses and proceeded into the café.

“Brother Thompson.”

Upon seeing Mandel ?Thompson, Viola got up to greet mm.

“Viola, sorry I’m late.”

Mandel didn’t explain that his hotel was too far from there, nor did he mention the traffic on the way.

In his mind, a mistake was a mistake, and being late was being late.

Viola smiled faintly, “It’s okay, it was only a minute.”

“Brother Thompson, you contacted me using Grandma Thompson’s

WhatsApp, did something happen to her?”

Otherwise, it should not be Mandel Thompson who is contacting her.

To not worry Viola, Mandel didn’t mention the severity of Mrs. Thompson’s illness and said, “My grandma has been feeling a bit under the weather, but don’t worry. Viola, I’ve come to see you because of something else.”

“Please speak, Brother Thompson.”

Mandel Thompson looked at Viola, choosing his words carefully in his mind, “Viola, actually, from the first moment I saw you, I felt a sense of familiarity…just like…a sister.”

Having said this, Mandel continued, “I don’t know if you are aware that Sylvia was actually adopted by my parents. We have a biological sister who was abducted just after she was born. Over these years, our family has been tirelessly looking for our younger sister, but regretfully, we have not heard a single piece of news about her..”
