Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

Mary nodded with a smile, “Your fiancée raised it very well.”

Although it was just a Chinese garden cat, its fur was shiny, its body strong and sturdy, and there was no peculiar smell, showing that the owner liked it a lot and took great care in raising it.

Without thinking about it, the owner must also be a noble-hearted person.

“Thank you.”

Mary bent down to return the cat to Terrence Lentz.

Terrence took the cat.

Mantou cleverly rubbed its head against Mary’s head.

As if it was reluctant to part with Mary.

Somehow, Mary felt that she had a strong connection with this cat, and she stroked Mantou’s head, “Little fellow, goodbye until we meet again.” “Mom.” At this time, Sylvia jogged over from the direction of the bathroom.

“Sylvia.” Mary held Sylvia’s hand, “Let’s go.”

As she was leaving, Sylvia turned her head to look at the man sitting in the wheelchair.

It was just a glance.

But it made Sylvia’s breathing chaotic.

The man’s facial features were as beautiful as jade, with sharp contours. Although he was sitting in a wheelchair, his spine was as straight as a rod. His dark, piercing eyes were unfathomable, and his high, chiseled nose was without a single blemish.

As the daughter of the Thompson clan, Sylvia had seen many movie stars.

But now, not one of them could compare with the man before her.

Even Edward Thompson, the movie king, paled in comparison to this man.

At first glance, it was obvious that he was no ordinary person.

When did River City get such a big shot?

Sylvia quickly retracted her gaze, then asked, “Mom, do you like that cat?”

Mary nodded, “l don’t know why, but I feel like I have a great connection with that cat.’

“Then let me go ask that gentleman if he is willing to sell his cat.”

As she said this, Sylvia was about to go over.

Mary held Sylvia’s hand, “No need.”

“Why?” Sylvia asked: “Don’t you like it?”

Mary said, “The cat was raised by that gentleman’s fiancée.”

If someone can raise a cat so well, naturally they are not someone short on money.

Upon hearing this, Sylvia nodded, “Alright, then let’s wait until we return to Capital City, and we’ll go to a cat shelter with my sister and pick out a good-looking cat. ”

“Yeah.’

Mary smiled softly, as if envisioning the scene of her and her daughter personally picking a cat.

On this side.

Adam Swantz jogged to Terrence’s side.

“Brother Terrence.’

Terrence glanced back slightly, “Did you pick up the person?”

Adam shook his head, “The plane was delayed. They rescheduled the flight for tomorrow. Let’s go back first.”

“Okay.” Terrence nodded slightly.

At the Sherman Family residence.

Mrs. Sherman sat on the sofa.

At this time, the housekeeper walked in from the outside.

“Mrs.”

“Hmm.”

With respect, the housekeeper said, “I’ve checked everything you asked me to.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Sherman immediately became spirited and turned her head to ask, “Tell me about the situation of my little benefactor.”

The housekeeper continued, “Your little benefactor is Viola Thompson, adopted daughter of the Thompson Clan. She is currently attending North

Bridge High School.”

Adopted Daughter of the Thompson Clan.

Hearing this, Mrs. Sherman frowned slightly, “The one who is engaged to the

Lentz Clan?”

The engagement between the Thompson and Lentz clans was well-known, and the day the engagement had turned into a farce with peach replacing plum. No one knew how many people had laughed at them.

“Yes.” The housekeeper nodded.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Sherman was first very surprised, and then her eyes showed a trace of pity.

She had never dreamed that her little benefactor would turn out to be the Thompson Clan’s adopted daughter.

Moreover, the whole River City knew that Terrence Lentz was a good-for-nothing.

Her little benefactor was not only beautiful but also had excellent medical skills and a kind heart. She could find a man a thousand times better than Terrence.lsn’t this like a fresh flower stuck in cow dung?

After all, in Mrs. Sherman’s eyes, even her own grandson Trevor wasn’t good enough for Viola Thompson.

Who would have thought that Terrence Lentz would end up with her?

Mrs. Sherman was furious, “The Thompson Clan is just awful, sacrificing my little savior instead of their own daughter!”

The housekeeper said, “Indeed, the Thompson Clan’s actions are quite inappropriate.”

“Inappropriate? It’s downright ridiculous!” Mrs. Sherman continued, “l thought the Thompson Clan would change with Elizabeth’s generation, but they still can’t shake their nouveau riche ways. Lucky for my little savior; she wasn’t raised by them. They couldn’t possibly raise a decent daughter with their attitudes!”

It seems that River City’s top scholar isn’t anything special either.

The housekeeper lowered his head.

He couldn’t respond to that comment.

After all, Trevor had just asked him to deliver an invitation to Elizabeth.

It was obvious that Trevor highly appreciated Elizabeth.

“Have you found out my little savior’s preferences?” Mrs. Sherman continued to ask.

The housekeeper replied, “Miss Thompson is very fond of milk tea.”

“Milk tea?” Mrs. Sherman asked.

“Yes.

“Okay, I got it.” Mrs. Sherman nodded and made a mental note of the housekeeper’s words.

Just before school let out, Mrs. Sherman appeared at the school gate on time.

She even carried two milk teas in her hands.

At 5 p.m.

North Bridge High School let out on time.

Watching the students in uniforms come out from the school gate one by one, a smile unconsciously spread across Mrs. Sherman’s face.

She felt like she had been instantly transported back to her student days.

Time flies so fast.

Some things feel like they just happened yesterday, but when you look back, you realize so many years have passed.

Elizabeth Thompson was at North Bridge High School for an event.

As soon as she stepped out of the school gate, she saw an old lady waving at her, “Miss Thompson.” Who was this?

Did she know her?

Upon closer inspection, Elizabeth recognized her as Trevor’s grandmother, Mrs. Sherman.

What was Mrs. Sherman doing here to see her?

Was it about Trevor?

After all, Trevor had just invited her to the birthday banquet.

Who in River City didn’t know that Trevor had never been close to women?

She was the first person Trevor had ever personally invited.

It seemed that Mrs. Sherman regarded her as potential granddaughter-in-law.

Upon this thought, Elizabeth felt a wave of nausea.

Trevor was just a fish she was raising, that’s all!

Mrs. Sherman’s actions were simply disgraceful.

Though feeling disgusted, Elizabeth still put on a smile and walked towards Mrs. Sherman.

After all, her goal was raising the fish, so she couldn’t afford to offend Mrs. Sherman.

Just then, Mrs. Sherman suddenly sped up and moved right past Elizabeth, brushing past her shoulder.

Elizabeth was stunned.

Wasn’t Mrs. Sherman looking for her?

“My little savior! ”

Mrs. Sherman’s voice came from behind her.

Her little savior?

So Mrs. Sherman was calling out to her little savior.

Elizabeth finally understood Mrs. Sherman’s words.

Her face turned a bit pale.

So, who was Mrs. Sherman’s little savior then?

Elizabeth turned her head to look back.

With one glance, her face became even paler.

Because the person Mrs. Sherman was holding by the hand was…

Viola Thompson!

How come it’s this illegitimate child again?
