Switching the beams?

What’s going on?

Could it be that Viola Thompson had already realized that these things are imitations?

No way!

Viola Thompson was just a country bumpkin, how could she just tell at a glance whether they were imitations or authentic products?

But in just a moment, Olga’s expression returned to normal, “What do you mean ‘switching the beams!?”

“You didn’t know these were imitations?”

“Of course they’re not imitations!” Olga continued, “Do you think this is your countryside? Where you can pass off shoddy goods as the real thing?”

Viola Thompson nodded slightly, her lips curved upwards, and then she turned to leave.

“Where are you going!”

Seeing her want to leave, Olga worried and immediately caught up with Viola Thompson’s steps.

“I am going to the Lentz Clan.”

Upon hearing that Viola Thompson was going to the Lentz Clan, Olga felt incredibly guilty.

If people knew she had replaced the authentic products with imitations, the Thompson Clan would completely lose face.

“What are you going to the Lentz Clan for?”

Viola Thompson continued, “The Lentz Clan brought a bunch of imitations over. Shouldn’t I go ask for an explanation?”

Olga choked on her words.

This little bitch!

“How come I didn’t notice these things were imitations? Do you have an extra pair of eyes compared to others?”

“That’s why I’m going to find the Lentz Clan for an explanation,” Viola Thompson looked at Olga, “They took advantage of your poor eyesight and tried to trick people with imitations. Isn’t this humiliating your lack of knowledge?”

With those simple words and without a single profanity, she indirectly insulted Olga’s poor eyesight and ignorance.

Olga’s face turned white with anger, but she was unable to utter a single rebuttal.

How could she know that Viola Thompson had actually seen through it!

“Wait a moment!” Olga tried hard to calm herself down, “Let’s investigate by ourselves first, maybe it’s a misunderstanding!”

“True.” Viola Thompson nodded slightly, “We can’t wrong a good person.”

Olga called the housekeeper.

“Housekeeper, what’s going on?”

The housekeeper was also confused, but fortunately, under Olga’s signaling, she quickly reacted and immediately said, “Madam, it’s my mistake! These aren’t the things sent over by the Lentz Clan! I just found them so beautiful, so I bought some imitations myself. I intended to use them for personal use, but I didn’t expect to pick up the wrong ones!”

Olga shouted angrily, “Then go get the authentic ones quickly!”

“Yes, madam, I’ll go right away.”

Viola Thompson knew that the two of them were acting, but she didn’t expose them.

Very quickly.

The housekeeper had someone bring the authentic products over. Under the light, the dazzling array of luxury goods sparkled in brilliance.

“Have you seen them clearly?” Olga asked.

“Yes, I have.”

Olga continued, “Since the young lady has taken a good look, Housekeeper, why don’t you take these things back and put them away!”

“Yes, madam!” The housekeeper immediately went to collect the items. “Wait a moment.” Viola Thompson placed her hand on the box.

“What’s wrong now?”

Viola Thompson looked at Olga, “Since these are betrothal gifts from the Lentz Clan, they should naturally be kept by me.”

Olga smiled, “You’re too young to be trusted to keep such valuable things safe. What if you lose them? I’ll keep them for you instead.”

Viola Thompson just looked at Olga, the corners of her mouth lifting slightly,

“I’ll put them in the bank’s safe deposit box. They won’t get lost.”

Olga never thought that Viola Thompson would even want to take Elizabeth Thompson’s things!

“These things should belong to Emma. Don’t take what’s offered and then feign indifference. If it wasn’t for Emma, you’d still be in the countryside by now.” “In that case, let her marry.” Viola Thompson said flatly.

Olga choked, continuing, “Fine, even if these things don’t belong to Emma. They should belong to me, right? I’m your mother who raised you. You should show your filial piety, shouldn’t you?”

Viola Thompson gave a faint smile, “Besides my grandmother, I don’t owe anything to anyone else. Moral manipulation doesn’t work on me.”

With that, Viola Thompson packed up everything and walked towards the door.

How could there be someone as ungrateful as Viola Thompson in this world?

Olga had painstakingly raised her, even bringing her back to the city to live a good life. The kindness of raising her was great, yet Viola Thompson turned her back on her.

Olga shivered with anger but all she could do was swallow her anger helplessly.

“Where are you going?”

“The bank.” Viola Thompson’s tone was light and airy.

“Stop right there!” Olga yelled.

Viola Thompson, however, acted like she didn’t hear a thing.Olga grabbed a vase and threw it on the ground.

Crash—

An ancient vase from the Southern Song Dynasty shattered all over the floor.

Elizabeth Thompson happened to be walking down the stairs and saw this scene. She frowned and asked, “Mom, what’s going on?”

The housekeeper replied, “It’s all because of that little illegitimate child.”

“What happened to my sister?” Elizabeth helped Olga sit down and poured her a cup of tea.

The housekeeper explained the situation.

Hearing this, Elizabeth sighed, “Sister is young and doesn’t understand. You don’t need to be angry with her. If she likes those things, just let her have them.”

“I feel sorry for you,” Olga continued, “She’s just a country girl. How can she deserve such nice things?”

Just thinking about the limited-edition diamonds and watches made her heart ache.

Elizabeth smiled, “It’s alright, I don’t mind. We are sisters after all. And since we are sisters, what’s mine is also hers.”

Seeing the kind-hearted Elizabeth, Olga sighed, “Emma, with your personality, you’ll suffer one day.”

“To suffer is a blessing,” Elizabeth continued, “The engagement is tomorrow.

Can you bear it?”

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

The Lentz and Thompson Clans were both prominent families in River City.

The engagement hotel was filled with guests.

Many of the guests who came to attend the engagement banquet looked forward to seeing some drama unfold.

After all,

One was the number one talented woman in River City.

The other was the number one good-for-nothing in River City.

In the makeup room,

Olga looked at the stunningly beautiful girl sitting in front of the makeup mirror and narrowed her eyes.

It had to be said,

Viola Thompson was born with a beautiful face.

A standard oval face, a pair of delicate peach blossom eyes that were clear and bright, and shallow pear-shaped dimples on her cheeks when she smiled, unintentionally captivating souls.

How many men could resist such temptation?

She was too beautiful, so beautiful that Olga felt threatened.

Fortunately,

Luckily, Viola was about to get engaged to that good-for-nothing.

Thinking of this, Olga curled her lips.

A moment later, Olga looked at her watch and reminded the makeup artist, “It’s almost time, can you hurry up a bit?”

“Alright.’

In the resting room,

“Third brother, I’ve found out that the Thompson Clan wants someone to replace Elizabeth and get engaged to you.” Adam Swantz continued, “It’s their adopted daughter who’s been raised in the countryside since she was little.”

“Hmm, ” Terrence Lentz’s face was expressionless and indifferent.

As far as he was concerned,

It didn’t matter who got engaged to him. In the end, the outcome would be the same.

Adam Swantz looked at Terrence, “Third brother, they’re going to replace your fiancée, and you still don’t seem to care?” “It’s expected,” Terrence Lentz replied concisely.

“So what are you going to do?”

Terrence Lentz’s thin lips lightly opened, “Break off the engagement.”

In the front hall,

Reg Thompson stood in the middle of the banquet hall, “First of all, I want to thank everyone for taking the time to attend our eldest daughter Viola Thompson’s engagement banquet with Terrence Lentz, the third young master of the Lentz Clan.

“As you all know, our eldest daughter and the third young master of the Lentz Clan were arranged to be matchmaking spouses ten years ago. Although it was only a verbal agreement at the time, a man’s word is his bond. Today, I am here to formally set the engagement for the two children.”

Viola Thompson?

Who is Viola Thompson?

The moment these words were spoken, whispers broke out among the audience.

Patriarch Lentz’s smile instantly froze on his face.

Did he hear wrong?

“Let me introduce you all, this is our Thompson Clan’s eldest daughter, Viola Thompson.”

As soon as the words fell, a slender figure slowly walked to the entrance.

As the figure walked against the light,

Her face couldn’t be seen clearly.

But as the figure slowly approached, Terrence Lentz, who was seated among the guests, narrowed his eyes..
