Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

For the next two days, Rachel Barton was locked up.

She just sat on the floor like that, staring out the window.

Her gaze was already somewhat dull.

What she was most afraid of now was the dark.

She was even more afraid of Zachary Mayhew; just thinking about that scene made her sick to her stomach.

It was disgusting.

“Viola…”

Gazing at the window with eyes swollen red, Rachel yelled, “Viola, when will you come and get me?”

“Viola!”

In a moment, Rachel thought of Dolores Frieman.

“Big sister.”

Dolores had promised to save her.

When would Dolores come?

It was at this moment.

There was the sound of a puppy outside the window again.

“Woof, woof, woof…”

It was a pity that after two days of barking, Rachel had not become suspicious.

If only she pushed open that window.

She would see.

Theresa Winslet was standing in the bamboo forest facing the window.

Too bad.

She didn’t.

On the other side.

Diana Hershey had already drawn up a seven-day tour plan.

She posted the itinerary in a group chat with the four of them: [Vio, Fiona, if you have no problems, let’s set off tomorrow.]

Mentioning Viola Thompson and Fiona Knight.

Since Rachel had previously said she wanted to stay in her hometown with her parents, Diana didn’t mention her.

Fiona immediately responded: [No problem here, what about Vio?]

Viola quickly replied: [OK, just coming back to go to River City with you and fill in our wishes for college.]

Diana was delighted: [So, let’s all buy tickets for the 10 o’clock flight tomorrow morning and meet at the airport at 1 pm?]

[OK.]

[Let’s video chat? Typing is tiring!] Fiona suggested.

[OK.]

The three connected on video.

“Vio, Diana!” Fiona greeted them with a smile.

Diana continued: “Did you guys buy the plane tickets already?”

“Already bought.”

Viola said: “I bought them too.”

Fiona asked as she seemed to remember something: “Have any of you been in contact with Rachel these days?”

Diana shook her head.

Fiona explained: “We contacted her three days ago, but the signal over there was intermittent, so we hung up after only a few words.”

However, Rachel had called to discuss the debt with Fiona.

Just on that day, Rachel had earned a little money from an investment project and had repaid eight thousand yuan to Fiona.

Fiona continued: “Oh, and Rachel told me that her parents are going to hold a College Admission Celebration Banquet on the 18th. Vio, Diana, are your families hosting one too?”

Diana nodded her head: “Of course!”

She had scored well, which increased her father’s pride.

Viola shook her head slightly: “I’m not sure, I didn’t ask.”

She didn’t usually care about these matters, as her parents handled them.

However, judging from Sawyer Thompson’s character, he would definitely organize it on a grand scale.

After chatting a little more, the three hung up the video call.

After disconnecting the video, Viola sent a message to Rachel.

[Rachel, take good care of yourself while you’re over there and come back as soon as the holiday ends.]

[If you encounter any problems, don’t keep them to yourself, you can always talk to me.]

Rachel did not respond.

But Viola didn’t give it a second thought.

After all, Rachel’s location was in a mountainous area, where she often disappeared mysteriously after returning to her biological parents’ side. Sometimes, due to poor signal, the messages wouldn’t receive a reply until a week later.

When Viola decided to embark on a graduation trip, the Thompson family naturally supported her fully.

After dinner.

Mary Perryne was somewhat worried: “Viola, you must protect yourself when you’re out there alone.”

“Mom, I’m not alone.” Viola smiled: “I’m with Diana and Fiona, whom you’ve met.”

Mary Perryne said: “Three young girls alone could still be somewhat unsafe.”

Mrs. Thompson looked at Mary Perryne, “Don’t you worry, trust in Viola.”

Offspring of the Thompson Clan, whether they’re girls or boys, should develop their independence early on.

After all, parents’ love can’t protect their children for a lifetime.

Moreover, Viola had a strong ability to be independent.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to live in River City alone for such a long time.

Viola nodded slightly: “Grandma is right, you don’t need to worry about me, I’m very capable.”

Mary Perryne then took out a credit card: “Viola, keep this card.”

Seeing the credit card, Sylvia Thompson’s smile stiffened for a moment.
