Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

Mary Perryne said, “Bread and Mantou, that’s nice.”

As if understanding, Bread rubbed its head against Mary Perryne’s palm.

Mary Perryne laughed, “Wow, it’s so smart!”

Sylvia Thompson stood on the side.

Her face couldn’t have looked worse.

They strolled through the garden together.

Although Sylvia was always following behind, she felt like an outsider.

Viola!

It’s all Viola’s fault!

How could she have come this far if it weren’t for Viola?

Sylvia bit her lip.

Through the bushes, Aunt Zhang looked at Sylvia’s back, her eyes full of pity.

She felt sorry for Sylvia.

Viola glanced back slightly.

There was no one in the bushes.

A breeze brushed by, swaying the flowers and leaves.

Time flew by.

The College Admission Celebration Banquet came in the blink of an eye.

The banquet was held at the largest five-star hotel in Capital City.

Sylvia wore a necklace from MISS Thompson’s collaborative collection, a YOYO haute couture gown, and exquisite makeup.

Tonight, she had to outshine all the other beauties.

She would never lose to Viola!

Looking at the beauty in the mirror, Sylvia slightly hooked the corner of her mouth.

That night, guests poured in nonstop.

Even Jason Wycof, the highest-ranking leader in Capital City, came to congratulate her.

Less than thirty-two years old this year, Jason became the highest-ranking governor in Capital City. His future was bright. “Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Thompson.”

“We’re flattered, Governor Lu,” Sawyer Thompson gestured, “Please, come in.”

Jason nodded and walked in.

Sawyer waved to Viola.

“Viola, come here.”

Viola today was wearing a plain, vintage-style blouse with a wine-red skirt, her long hair draped over her back, exuding an ethereal beauty.

She emitted a faint scent of literature and art.

One couldn’t help but think of a phrase.

A rich inner world makes one’s appearance more radiant.

Hearing Sawyer’s words, Viola glanced back and walked over.

“Dad.”

She came over slowly.

Each step was elegant and graceful.

Sawyer laughed, “Viola, this is Governor Lu from our Capital City.”

As he said that, Sawyer looked at Jason, “Governor Lu, this is my daughter, Viola.”

Jason looked over, with an undeniable amazement in his eyes.

Before this moment,

He had only heard about Viola, and had never actually seen her.

Viola raised her eyes slightly, “Governor Lu.”

With a calm expression, she smiled without intentionally flattering him.

Not nervous at all,

Composed and elegant,

She was worthy of the title of national champion.

This surprised Jason.

He had been successful from a young age, and at 20 he graduated from university and entered politics. He always exuded an aura of authority.

Most young girls standing in front of him would feel nervous to some extent,

Especially those in their teenage years.

But Viola wasn’t.

It was as if he was just an ordinary person.

It was hard to imagine that she was just an 18-year-old girl who had just taken the College Entrance Examination.

Before now, Jason had thought he would see a nerdy girl with huge glasses.

But clearly,

Reality was completely different from his imagination.

Jason smiled, “Miss Thompson, you are young and promising, and your future is bright.”

Sawyer laughed and picked up the conversation, “We’ll take Governor Lu’s good words.”

Sylvia was chatting with her best friend.

Suddenly, she saw her father talking to a strange man.

The man was dressed in a suit

He wore gold-framed glasses,

Looking both shrewd and elegant.

At a glance, one could tell he was not an ordinary person.

Sylvia squinted her eyes.

Just then,

She recalled something.

She seemed to have seen him on a news channel.

This was…

Jason Wycof.

That’s right.

It was Jason Wycof.

He was the highest leader of Capital City.

She never thought that her parents would invite Jason too.

On what grounds?

Why should Viola deserve all this?

No.

She couldn’t let Viola steal all the attention.

With that thought,

Sylvia squinted her eyes and turned to her friend, “Sorry, Emily, my dad’s calling me. I’ll be right back.”

“Okay.” Emily Perryne nodded.

Sylvia picked up the hem of her gown, and with a gentle smile on her lips, she jogged over to Sawyer, speaking sweetly, “Dad, I’ve been looking for you. There you are!”

Sawyer felt a bit embarrassed as he looked at Jason, “Governor Lu, please excuse us. This is my second daughter, Sylvia Thompson.”
