Chapter 87: 087: Domineering Mrs. Thompson

Translator: 549690339

Having lived in high society for so many years, Mrs. Sherman saw at a glance that Elizabeth Thompson’s real target was not Trevor Sherman.

She was just using him as a stepping stone.

Hearing Mrs. Sherman say this about Elizabeth, Trevor slightly frowned.

Elizabeth was clearly so kind, so gentle, and generous.

“Grandmother,” Trevor looked at Mrs. Sherman, “I know it’s very hard to change someone’s mind. But don’t you think you’re being too absolute? You’ve just met Elizabeth for a few minutes. Do you really know her? When you completely understand her, you will know that she is really a good girl.”

Seeing that Mrs. Sherman had such a deep misunderstanding about Elizabeth, Trevor felt unspeakable discomfort in his heart.

Mrs. Sherman glanced at Trevor, “I see you really are bewitched! Even if you think about it with your toes, you should know that Elizabeth is not a simple character.’

“If she is really a good girl, she wouldn’t abandon Viola in the countryside for more than ten years after cutting out her liver. And eventually, push Viola to take her place in marriage!’

“Could a good girl do such a thing?”

Would Elizabeth have today without Viola?

What’s the difference between this and ungratefulness?contemporary romance

Viola again.

Hearing Mrs. Sherman’s explanation, Trevor showed a look of distaste in his eyes.

In his eyes, although Mrs. Sherman did sometimes play the fool, she never went to these lengths.

But now.

All she could see was that scheming woman Viola.

Viola’s tactics were too sophisticated, she spun Mrs. Sherman around in circles. In front of her, Elizabeth was nothing more than a blank sheet of paper.

Trevor patiently explained to Mrs. Sherman, “Firstly, Viola is Elizabeth’s sister. If it wasn’t for the Thompson family adopting her, it would be uncertain whether she could even have survived in the orphanage. As a sister, isn’t it normal for her to donate a piece of her liver when her younger sister needs help? Besides, the liver is a regenerative organ. It’s just donating a piece of liver, it’s not like she is asking for her life. Between sisters, it shouldn’t be held onto for so long, right?”

After all, Viola never considered Elizabeth as her sister.

Becaue siblings won’t nit-pick on each other.

“Secondly, Viola, a country girl, and Terrence Lentz are a match made in heaven. I don’t think there is anything wrong with that approach.”

“Thirdly, all these things were caused by the Thompson family parents, and have nothing to do with Elizabeth. Grandmother, how could you blame all these things on Elizabeth? Do you think that is fair to her?”

The arguments from Trevor were irrefutable.

There was nothing wrong with what Elizabeth had done, it was Viola who not only didn’t know gratitude, but also turned kindness into grudge.

Mrs. Sherman was so angry that her head ached, “Are you still no sense of right and wrong?!”

“Grandmother, surely Viola must have been spreading a lot of gossip about Elizabeth in front of you?” Trevor said.

“Viola is not as bad you think, she never gossips in front of people!”

“Really?” Trevor smiled.

If she really didn’t, would Mrs. Sherman hate Elizabeth that much?

Mrs. Sherman glared at Trevor, “You will suffer if you don’t follow the advice of the old. Just wait! Sooner or later, you will fall into Elizabeth’s hands.” Looking at Mrs. Sherman in this state, Trevor helplessly shook his head.

When she saw him like this, Mrs. Sherman got even more angry.

Such a fool!

“Get out, get out, get out! Keep your distance, I get annoyed whenever I see

Trevor didn’t get angry, he calmly said, “Then I’ll go downstairs first, happy birthday, grandmother.”

Mrs. Sherman watched Trevor’s back, sighing softly.

This kid has had it too easy all his life.

It’s about time he faced some hardships.

Capital City.

Thompson Family Manor.Ever since she returned from River City, Mary Perryne had felt unwell, suffering from sleepless nights. However, today she managed to get up early for a change.

“Sylvia.”

Mary Perryne came into Sylvia Thompson’s room.

“Mom, why are you up so early? Is there something urgent?” Sylvia Thompson asked with a smile.

Mary Perryne replied, “Your grandmother is arriving on a 9 0’clock flight this morning. You and I are going to pick her up.”

“Okay.” Sylvia Thompson nodded, then asked, “Did you not sleep well last night again, mother?”

“l slept fairly well last night, but I do not know why 1 dreamt about a young girl named Viola Thompson,” she said, a smile floating unconsciously on her face.

Sylvia Thompson smilingly said, “Actually, I quite like sister Viola too.” Thirty minutes later, the mother-daughter pair set off for the airport.

9:10 a.m.

An old lady with gray hair emerged from the VIP channel.

Although she was old, her spirit was still youthful, and she walked with an energy that showed she was not defeated by age.

Immediately, Mary Perryne stepped forward with a smile, “Mother.”

Mrs. Thompson looked at Mary Perryne. “Didn’t I tell you not to come? Why did you still come?”

Mary Perryne said, “l would not feel at ease if I did not come.”

“Grandma.” Sylvia Thompson called out obediently.

However, Mrs. Thompson just turned her head, ignoring Sylvia as if she didn’t see her.

Seeing this, a chill ran down Sylvia’s spine.

She knew it from childhood.

Mrs. Thompson didn’t like her.

Just because she was not Emma.

Just because she wasn’t a blood relative of the Thompsons, no matter how hard she tried, or how filial she was, she could never gain Mrs. Thompson’s approval.

Not only did Mrs. Thompson ignore Sylvia, she asked, “Have you heard any news from my granddaughter recently?”

Mrs. Thompson had three sons.

The eldest couple had two sons and now settled abroad.

The second couple had four sons and settled in Sea City.

The third son, i.e., Sawyer Thompson and Mary Perryne, had three sons and one daughter.

As the long-awaited granddaughter, Mrs. Thompson wished she could spoil her in every possible way, but she was unfortunately kidnapped!

Due to this, Mrs. Thompson was so heartbroken that she couldn’t eat anything for three days and three nights.

Sylvia Thompson felt wronged and looked down, barely managing to voice, “Not yet.”

“Are you addicted to being the young Miss Thompson? You don’t even want to find Viola!” Mrs. Thompson scolded Sylvia mercilessly.

Sylvia Thompson lowered her head, unable to hold back her tears, appearing pitiful.

She didn’t know what she should do to make Mrs. Thompson treat her as a granddaughter.

Mary Perryne couldn’t bear to see this and tried to speak on Sylvia’s behalf, “Mother, Sylvia…”

“Shut up!” Mrs. Thompson shot at Mary Perryne, “What right do you have to tell me what to do?”

Mary Perryne lowered her head and said nothing more.

If she talked back to her mother-in-law, who always dominated, Mrs.

Thompson would only reprimand her more harshly.

Mrs. Thompson looked at Sylvia, the disdain in her eyes palpable. She had a

sour expression, as if someone were cruelly bullying her, putting on a display for an unknown audience.

“I’ll tell you now, don’t think you can outsmart me in front of my eyes. You really think I don’t know what you’re up to?” Mrs. Thompson continued: “Dream on if you’re hoping to replace my precious Viola!”

“Grandma, I have never intended to take my sister’s place.” Sylvia looked up at Mrs. Thompson, suppressing her disappointment, “l know that I am not as good as my sister. Rest assured, as soon as we find my sister, 1 will leave, and my sister can take her rightful place as Miss Thompson..”
