Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

If only Mrs. Thompson’s mind was still clear.

Mrs. Thompson’s mind is now completely in a state of confusion.

If not, she wouldn’t hate Sylvia Thompson so much.

If she were Mrs. Thompson, she would definitely cherish Sylvia Thompson dearly.

But what about Mrs. Thompson?

As her grandson, Bob Thompson did everything he was supposed to do.

He never felt that he owed Mrs. Thompson anything.

Mary Perryne looked at Brandon Thompson, “Brandon, did you contact your second uncle and younger uncle?”

“l contacted them, they’re both on the flight back now.”

“That’s good.” Mary Perryne nodded her head.

If something unexpected happened to Mrs. Thompson, at least they could say their last goodbyes.

Although Mary did not want to see the worst outcome.

But now they have to prepare for the worst.

At three o’clock in the afternoon.

Evan Thompson, the Thompson Clan’s second son, and his wife returned to

Capital City.

Elena Williams, like Mary Perryne, had a good relationship with Mrs.Thompson. Seeing Mrs. Thompson lying on the hospital bed looking very unwell, she asked, “How is mom’s condition now?”

Mary shook her head, “Not very good…”

After a pause, she repeated the instructions she had received earlier.

Hearing this, Elena Williams turned pale, “How could it be so serious?”

She initially thought that Mrs. Thompson had just fallen down some stairs, but she didn’t expect the old lady’s condition to be so severe that they had to prepare for her funeral.

Mary Perryne continued, “Mom rolled down the stairs and injured her brain, causing a blood clot to form. Because of her age…”

Elena Williams felt a little unsteady.

Everyone said that the hardest relationship to deal with in the world was the one between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

However, she and Mrs. Thompson never had any problems like that, and they always got along very harmoniously.

Although Mrs. Thompson was sometimes strict, she wasn’t like other people; she would reason with you.

Evan Thompson was even more upset, looking at Brandon Thompson, “How did grandma fall down the stairs?”

The Thompson’s house had installed security cameras, and Brandon Thompson had checked the footage when Mrs. Thompson was taken into the operating room. “l checked the surveillance footage, and it looked like grandma came down in a hurry to fetch something, missed a step, and rolled down the stairs.’

Evan Thompson frowned slightly.

Three months ago, when he last saw his mother, she was still full of vitality, yet now a major accident had occurred.

At this thought, Evan Thompson sighed heavily.

Not long after Evan Thompson’s arrival, Sawyer Thompson hurried back from outside as well.

He took a red-eye flight back and hadn’t even washed his face.

“Big brother.”

Seeing Sawyer Thompson return, Evan Thompson immediately stood up.

Sawyer Thompson, not caring about other matters at the moment, asked directly, “How’s mom?”

“Not very optimistic,” Evan Thompson replied.

Sawyer Thompson also didn’t expect that such a big thing would happen to Nirs. Thompson just because he went on a business trip, and he blamed himself, “Mom always complains that I am too busy, I should have made time to accompany her.”

At this point, Sawyer Thompson finally realized the meaning of the phrase

“when the son wants to support his parents, they are already gone.”

But now, regret is of no use.

In the afternoon.

Jayden Thompson, the third son of the Thompson Clan, arrived with his wife, Penny Kalafatis, and their son.

Jayden Thompson and his wife, Penny Kalafatis, also returned.

Unlike the other two sisters-in-law, Penny Kalafatis was born in a rural area and had only a primary school education. When she was dating Jayden Thompson, she was just a restaurant waitress.

If it were anyone else, they would choose to continue studying and attend adult college to be worthy of Jayden Thompson, who completed his bachelor’s, master’s, and doctorate studies consecutively.

But Penny didn’t do so.

Her view on love was about mutual respect and accomplishment, and she wouldn’t deliberately change herself to cater to someone else’s needs. As it happened, Jayden Thompson loved her for this very quality.

Therefore, until now, their relationship remained very strong.

Although she was poorly educated and lacked manners, after so many years of experience, Penny Kalafatis now exuded an air of an elegant wealthy housewife.

Her every movement was full of grace.

It was impossible to see any trace of the naive country girl she once was.

Sylvia Thompson had always looked down on her little aunt.

It wasn’t for any other reason except that she was from a poor background.

In Sylvia Thompson’s eyes, Penny Kalafatis was a gold digger; if Jayden Thompson was poor, she definitely wouldn’t have married him.

In the end, it all boiled down to money.

Such people were just disgusting.

Although she was disgusted with Penny’s behavior, Sylvia Thompson still kept a polite expression on her face and greeted Penny courteously, “Little aunt, you must be tired from the long journey..”
