Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

In the past, Sawyer Thompson might have let it go.

But Viola was Sawyer’s only bottom line.

He couldn’t bear it.

Just thinking about how close Viola had come to being wronged made Sawyer furious.

If he let it go this time, someone would definitely try to bully Viola again.

So he had to make an example!

Mandel Thompson nodded.

Mary Perryne didn’t say anything either.

Mrs. Thompson looked at Sylvia Thompson, “Iris White has already told us everything that happened, are you still not admitting it?”

Sylvia’s eyes turned red, “Grandma, do you suspect me?”

She knew that Iris would never betray her.

So at this moment, she must not be deceived by Mrs. Thompson.

Did Mrs. Thompson want to use deception on her?

Absolutely not!

Mrs. Thompson just looked at Sylvia.

Sylvia immediately raised three fingers, “Grandma, I can swear to the heavens that if I ever had any intention to harm my sister, just let the thunderstorms strike me!”

Edward Thompson couldn’t stand it anymore, “Grandma, Sylvia is definitely not that kind of person! You can’t be so biased!”

“This is none of your business!”

As the words fell, Mrs. Thompson looked at Sylvia, “So you’re saying that Iris White is framing you? Iris has no grudge against you, so why would she frame you?”

Sylvia continued, “You can bring Iris over and let us confront each other face to face! I didn’t do anything! Grandma, I know you never liked me, but you can’t blame me just because you don’t like me! Is it just because I’m not related to you by blood?”

At the end, tears flowed down Sylvia’s face.

“And, I didn’t even know Iris was pregnant, I didn’t even know she had a boyfriend!”

The ID card wasn’t taken by her.

Nor was it handed to Iris by her.

As long as she didn’t admit it, no one could do anything to her.

“Who else could it be if it’s not you?” Mrs. Thompson continued, “Stop pretending. I know clearly whether you’re a person or a ghost!”

“It really wasn’t me! Grandma, why won’t you believe me?”

Seeing Sylvia cry so heartbreakingly, Mary was troubled, “Mom  ”

Sylvia squinted her eyes, “Grandma, since you don’t believe me, I’ll prove it to you!”

After saying this, she turned and ran out.

Just as Edward Thompson was about to chase after her, Mrs. Thompson scolded sternly, “Sit down!”

At that moment, the voice of a maid came from outside the room.

“Something’s wrong! The second young miss jumped into the lake!”

Upon hearing that Sylvia had jumped into the lake, Edward couldn’t sit still and immediately rushed out.

Mary also ran out with him.

Viola and Mandel exchanged glances without saying a word.

Sylvia had jumped into the artificial lake in the Thompson Clan’s garden.

By the time Edward rushed down and pulled her out, she had already lost consciousness.

“Sylvia! Sylvia!”

Soon, an ambulance arrived.

Sylvia was taken to the hospital.

After a close rescue, her life was saved.

However, because she had swallowed a lot of water when she fell into the lake, she needed to be hospitalized for a few days.

Edward and Mary stayed with her in the hospital room.

Sylvia had been conscious all the time, so the first thing she said when she woke up was, “Mom, it really wasn’t me!”

She felt so wronged.

Wronged enough to cry.

After all, she was Mary’s own daughter, and seeing Sylvia like this, Mary felt very distressed, “Good child, Mom believes you.”

Sylvia would rather die to prove her innocence, which showed that she really didn’t do those things.

Edward was even more heartbroken, “Sylvia, don’t worry, as long as I’m here, no one can bully you.”

As the words fell, Sylvia continued, “But Grandma and the others  ”

“I’ve got your grandma’s side,” Mary comforted, “Sylvia, you just need to focus on recovering.”

Sylvia’s eyes were red, “Mom, I thought about it, and maybe I should move out anyway.”

Move out?

Why?

Hearing this, Edward was very angry.

Why should Sylvia be the one to move out?

The one who should move out of the Thompson Clan was Viola!

Ever since Viola’s return, the Thompson Clan had never had a peaceful day.

“No,” Mary held Sylvia’s hand tightly, “silly child, what nonsense are you talking about! That’s your home, where can you move to?”

Sylvia cried, “Maybe if I move out, Grandma won’t be angry anymore. I don’t want to see Grandma upset.”

“Your grandma’s not angry, silly child. Don’t overthink it.” Mary wiped the tears off Sylvia’s face.

Thompson Clan.

Mrs. Thompson was checking surveillance footage in the monitoring room.

Iris didn’t go upstairs that day.

She didn’t even leave the living room.

Was it really as Iris said that she picked up the ID card from the carpet?

But why would Viola’s identity card appear on the living room carpet?

Something was definitely amiss.

Mrs. Thompson squinted her eyes, she had to find the evidence.

But she couldn’t find any strong evidence after searching.

At this moment, Aunt Zhang came over with a fruit plate, “Mrs. Thompson, please have some fruit and take a break.”

“No,” Mrs. Thompson replied, “You can take it away.”

Aunt Zhang nodded and left with the fruit plate.

Just then, Mary came in from outside, “Mom, this matter really has nothing to do with Sylvia, please don’t blame her!”

“If it’s not her, then who could it be?” Mrs. Thompson looked at Mary, “In this family, she’s the least welcoming towards Viola!”

Mary sighed.

“Mom, Grandma,” at that moment, a faint voice came through the air, “Don’t fight over this matter anymore, I believe Sylvia.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Thompson stared wide-eyed at Viola, her eyes filled with disbelief.

This foolish child!

Did she know what she was saying?!

Viola didn’t explain anything. She walked to Mrs. Thompson’s side, took her arm, and then looked at Mary, “Mom, let Sylvia come back. We’re all one family. Since we’re a family, there’s no obstacle we can’t overcome.”

Mrs. Thompson wanted to say something, but Viola subtly stopped her.

Mary’s face immediately lit up with joy, “Viola really is sensible! Alright, I’ll go tell Sylvia right now!”

There was no overnight hatred between sisters after all.

Watching Mary’s retreating figure, Mrs. Thompson frowned, “Silly child! You silly child! That Sylvia is not a good person at all. Although Iris didn’t admit it, I can guarantee that she is involved in this matter! You had the chance to kick her out! You, acting like your indecisive mother!”
