Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

Little wench.

How did she dare!action

“Getting too angry hurts your health,” Viola Thompson uttered as she looked at Olga, then continued, “You’re not worth it.”

Having said that, she turned around and walked towards the bedroom.

Reg Thompson wanted nothing more than to pick up a vase and violently smash it on this uncouth country hussy.

But reason told him.

No.

He had to endure.

Endure!

Viola is still of use.

After hearing about the incident involving CEO Cooper, Elizabeth Thompson immediately rushed back from outside, “Mom, Dad, I heard that CEO Cooper was hit by my sister, is this the truth?…”

Reg Thompson nodded, his expression almost tearful, “CEO Cooper is now in the hospital, and, according to the doctors, the situation is not optimistic.”

If CEO Cooper can’t live a normal life after this, then the Thompson Clan is in big trouble.

Upon hearing this, Elizabeth Thompson held Reg Thompson’s hand tightly, “Dad, don’t worry, I happen to know a very famous urologist abroad. I will contact him immediately.”

“You contact him quickly then.” Reg Thompson said.

Elizabeth Thompson took out her cellphone and immediately dialed a number.

The call was quickly answered.

She was speaking rapidly, in neither Mandarin nor English.

Reg Thompson couldn’t understand, but he was proud to have such an outstanding daughter.

It seemed like no issue was impassable for Elizabeth Thompson, she could settle everything flawlessly.

Looking at Elizabeth Thompson, Reg Thompson felt relieved.

A few minutes later, Elizabeth Thompson ended the call and said, “Dad, rest assured, Mr. Vick is currently in Cloud City. He will immediately go to the hospital. With his help, CEO Cooper will surely be okay.”

After saying this, Elizabeth Thompson lowered her head, her expression downcast. “Dad, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have suggested this. I didn’t know she would hit people…”

They thought that after Viola was drugged, she wouldn’t fight back even when she woke up.

Who knew that Viola would be so ill-mannered and even dare to hit people.

Reg Thompson looked at Elizabeth Thompson, “It’s okay, Emma, it’s not your fault. That bastardized brat can’t even behave herself properly, she offends everybody! She doesn’t know when to quit! After this incident….”

Elizabeth Thompson interrupted Reg Thompson mid-sentence, “Dad, let’s just let it go! This past few years have been hard for my sister. I might have been inconsiderate to let her take the spotlight, she’s not some kind of merchandise.”

“You are being considerate of her difficulties, but does she ever spare a thought for our predicament?! She just goes on and hits people!” Olga was exasperated, “If she were half as wise as you, things wouldn’t have turned out this way now.”

At the end, Olga sighed and looked at Elizabeth Thompson, “Emma, how many times have I told you! You can’t be too kind-hearted. You always consider things for that little bitch, but has she ever had your interests at heart?! She was the reason you fell ill in your childhood, and now she’s gotten us at odds with CEO Cooper! She’s practically a jinx!”

Elizabeth Thompson replied with a smile: “Don’t say such things about my sister, Mom. I’ll figure out how to resolve the issue with CEO Cooper.” As she finished talking, Elizabeth Thompson turned to look at Olga, “Dad, I’ll go with you to apologize to CEO Cooper tomorrow.”

“It should be the little wench who apologised to CEO Cooper!” Olga responded, “Emma, why should you clean up the mess she made!”

It was Viola who started this trouble, so why is she acting as if nothing happened while Elizabeth Thompson must take her place to deal with the aftermath.

How could there be such a thing in the world!

Unlike Olga’s indignant reaction, Elizabeth Thompson was magnanimous and understanding, “We are sisters, we should help each other.”

Just as Olga was about to say something else, Elizabeth Thompson turned back, holding Olga’s hand, smiling, “Mom, don’t worry so much. She just returned from the countryside and her habits are different from ours, so please put up with her a little more. Today’s incident could be seen as major or minor, but if it spreads to the ears of the Lentz clan, then it would be difficult to handle. I am, after all, her sister, even if I am wronged a little, it’s okay.”

Viola seems to have gone mad, indiscriminately lashing out at anyone.

If any rumors spread at such a time, it would be detrimental to the Thompson Clan.

Olga was heartbroken for Elizabeth Thompson and cursed Viola countless times in her heart.

Reg Thompson spoke up at this time, “Emma is right, it’s best if this situation ends here.”

Although Olga was reluctant, she could only hold it in.

Upstairs.

After Viola took a bath, she stood in front of the floor-length mirror looking at her reflection – a beautiful girl with ravishing red lips softly asked, “After all this, are you still planning to stay here?”

A moment later, Viola sighed lightly.

On the other side.

The Lentz home.

Terrence Lentz, smelling of alcohol, returned home.

Mrs. Lentz, who had been busily applying nail polish in the living room, sprang up as soon as she saw Terrence. “You’re home! Are you hungry? Tired? Where is your wheelchair? Why did you walk home? Have you been drinking? I’ll have the kitchen prepare a sobering soup immediately.”

“No need, Mom, I’m fine.” Terrence pinched the bridge of his nose, a layer of fatigue settled across his delicate features.

Mrs. Lentz still helped Terrence to sit down on the sofa. “Are you really Okay?”

“I’m fine.”

A moment later, Terrence took out a jewelry box from his pocket. “Happy birthday, Mom.”

Mrs. Lentz received the jewelry box, her mouth agape in surprise. “Thanks to you for remembering Mom’s birthday.”

Upon opening the box to reveal an emerald necklace, Mrs. Lentz avidly exclaimed, “Oh my! I love this necklace, thank you!”

Terrence, pinching his temples, stood up. “I have a headache, I’m going to bed.”

“A headache!” At these words, Mrs. Lentz instantly became anxious. “Are you okay? I’ll call Dr. Lee over right away.”

“No need, I’ll be fine after some rest.” Terrence replied.

“Are you really okay?” Mrs. Lentz, still concerned, followed Terrence to the stairs.

This scenario was witnessed by Sophie, the second sister-in-law who had just come down for a glass of water.

Sophie bit her lower lip.

It’s said that parents always favor the youngest child.

That statement couldn’t be more true.

Her mother-in-law, at any time, would always unquestionably stand behind Terrence.

Even if Terrence was a good-for-nothing who had nothing and knew nothing.

Enraged, Sophie didn’t even want to have her water. She headed back to her room.

Right after pushing the door open, Sophie couldn’t help but vent to her husband Len Lentz, “Your mom is favoring him too much! When we gave her a limited edition Imperial Green jewelry set, she didn’t even bat an eye. Yet, that good-for-nothing’s cheap necklace moved her so much! She’s always praising him, always calling him her dear son! Does she think we’re dead?”

The worst part was, all Terrence’s money was given to him by the old Lentzes. Terrence used their money to buy Mrs. Lentz a necklace, wasn’t that just like farting with his pants off?

Sophie could hardly swallow her anger!

Len Lentz was engrossed in a contract, without even lifting his eyes when he responded, “What do you care?”

Terrence was not only a good-for-nothing outside, but also a good-for-nothing at home.

In the Lentz family, apart from Mrs. Lentz and Patriarch Lentz, no one ever took him seriously.

Not even his own siblings.

Even the younger generation looked down on him.

“I just can’t take this!” Sophie huffed while sitting on the sofa. “We’re so good to her; how can she not see that? Her heart has veered far off to the Pacific! I really question whether you two are mother and son.”

Len Lentz remained expressionless, “What else does he have besides parents’ love? What will he have left once both of them are gone?”

Terrence was just a good-for-nothing living off the old.

Once there’s no one for him to live off, what else could he do except wait to die?

“You’re right,” Sophie’s mood lifted slightly. She walked over to Len Lentz, bending over to hug his shoulder. “But, there’s one thing he still has – a marriage that everyone envies!”

Elizabeth Thompson’s talent was acknowledged by everyone in Cloud City.

Len Lentz smirked, “Do you really think Elizabeth Thompson would willingly marry a good-for-nothing?”

Who was Elizabeth Thompson?

A widely renowned talented woman.

Sophie rubbed her nose, “But Elizabeth Thompson can’t just publicly break off the engagement, can she?”

Unless the Thompson Clan no longer cares about losing face.

Len Lentz squinted his eyes, “The Thompson Clan just brought their elder daughter back from the countryside. She is their eldest.”

“So what?”

“Originally, the Lentz and Thompson’s marriage contract was with the Thompson Clan’s eldest daughter,” said Len Lentz.

Sophie’s mouth fell open in surprise. “Really?”

Len Lentz nodded slightly.

With narrowed eyes, Sophie chimed, “Seems like we are going to have quite the drama.”

Cutting herself off, Sophie then let out a soft chuckle, “A country bumpkin and a well-known good-for-nothing. You know, they do seem to be quite a match.”
