Chapter 54: 054: Slap in the face

Translator: 549690339

It’s one thing for Viola Thompson to embarrass herself, but now she’s even brought the police over. Isn’t this tarnishing the reputation of the Thompson Family?

The housekeeper also thinks that Viola Thompson is quite embarrassing.

After all, she has been working at the Thompson Family for so long and has never seen the police come to look for Elizabeth Thompson.

As expected.

There is a difference between people.

Someone as outstanding as Elizabeth Thompson would never engage in illegal or criminal activities.

“l don’t expect her to be as outstanding as Emma, I just ask her to be a bit more well-behaved and not bring trouble to the family!” Olga angrily said, “But what about her? What has she done! Every time she makes a mistake, I have to clean up after her!”

The housekeeper glanced at Olga and continued, “After all, she grew up in the countryside and has little experience. Madam, please don’t be angry for now, the police are still waiting for you outside.”

Olga tried hard to suppress her anger in her heart and followed the housekeeper to the door.

Seeing the policemen in uniform, Olga put on a smile, “I’m sorry for the trouble my Adopted Daughter, Viola Thompson, has caused you. It’s all because I didn’t discipline her properly. Actually, I had no choice. She was raised in the countryside with my mother-in-law and was so spoiled by her. Now that she’s just come back, she’s already causing such a big problem.”

Olga deliberately emphasized the two words ‘Adopted Daughter.’

Since she is an adopted daughter, no matter what disgraceful acts Viola Thompson commits, it has nothing to do with her!

She originally had no blood relation to Viola Thompson anyway.

One of the police officers laughed and said, “Mrs. Thompson, you have misunderstood. Your daughter Viola Thompson is outstanding and has courageously saved a life. She is a role model for our generation. We are here today to present her with a banner.”

A banner?

At this moment, Olga even doubted her own ears.

She must have heard wrong.

It must be a mistake.

What banner could be given to Viola Thompson?

Until the police officer took out the red banner.

“Viola Thompson happened to pass by Beco Road on the 10th of last month and saved a drowning child. After saving the child, she didn’t say anything and just left. The child’s family inquired for a long time before they found out her name.’

“Mrs. Thompson, you have a very remarkable daughter.”

Save a life?

How is this possible!

Olga had already prepared herself for Viola Thompson causing trouble, but she never expected that the police officers would actually come to present a banner.

“Are you sure it’s Viola Thompson?” Olga asked suspiciously.

Doing good deeds quietly seemed to match Elizabeth Thompson’s style more. Elizabeth Thompson always acted low-key and never flaunted her good deeds, no matter what they were.

That’s right.

It must have been Elizabeth Thompson who saved the person.

This banner should be presented to Elizabeth Thompson.

These police officers really are foolish.

They couldn’t even get the name right!

Just then, Viola Thompson came down the stairs. Olga looked at Viola Thompson, “Viola Thompson, come here!”

Viola Thompson came over, “What’s the matter?”

Olga continued, “Two officers, this is Viola Thompson. Take a good look and see if you have mistaken her for someone else. I have another daughter named Elizabeth Thompson.”

One of the police officers immediately took out his phone, opened the surveillance screenshot from that day, and compared it. He then laughed and said, “That’s right, that’s right, it’s this young lady!’

Olga was dumbfounded on the spot and stood there stunned.

It really was Viola Thompson?

Impossible!

The police handed the banner to Viola Thompson with both hands.

“Young lady, this is the banner sent by the family of the drowning child you saved last month.’

“The young lady is truly remarkable! ”

They originally thought that there would be a contrast with the surveillance footage, but surprisingly, this young lady in front of them was even thinner than in the footage.

It was hard to imagine how she managed to pull an Il-year-old child out of the water.

Viola Thompson was stunned for a moment.

If the police hadn’t come looking for her, she would have completely forgotten about this incident.

The reason she was late to remove Edith Bennett’s bandages at the Bennett Clan’s house before was because of this incident.

She was supposed to arrive at 10 0’clock, but she was more than an hour late.

After saving the child, she hurried to the Bennett Clan’s house, so she handed the child over to the parents and came back.

In an instant, Viola Thompson came back to her senses, took the banner with both hands, and said, “Thank you.”

The police officer looked at Viola Thompson and said, “That river is very deep. Even a man who is good at swimming might not be able to climb back up if he goes down. Young lady, you are really brave! However, next time you save someone, you should act according to your capabilities. Remember to call us, the People’s Police, in such situations, and we will respond as quickly as possible! ”

“Alright, if I encounter such a situation next time, I will definitely call the police right away.” Viola Thompson nodded slightly.Olga stood in place, somewhat incredulously saying, “Officers, are you sure you didn’t get the wrong person?”

A little wild child, she’s not worthy of this ‘heroic rescue’ banner.

Shouldn’t the rescuer be Elizabeth Thompson?

The policeman laughed and said, “Mrs. Thompson, don’t worry, we have the surveillance footage from that time, we won’t mistake the person.”

After taking another photo with Viola Thompson, the two policemen left Thompson’s Villa.

Viola took the banner back to her room.

Olga looked at her leaving figure, frowning deeply.

Her heart felt uncomfortable.

That banner should belong to her daughter.

This little wild child had only just returned a few days, and had already begun stealing Emma’s things.

Shameless!

Upstairs.

After putting the banner away, Viola Thompson opened a can of cat food,

“Mantou, it’s time to eat.”

“Meow! ”

In just a few days, the previously pitiful little kitten had already become a fat yellow cat, the overlord of the area.

Because it was too fat, it wobbled as it walked. In the face of cat food and cans, Mantou just came over to sniff it, then raised its head and left.

Viola raised her eyebrows slightly, squatted down, and hugged Mantou in her arms, “Are you not hungry?”

“Meow.”

“Are you sick?” Viola suddenly remembered that for the last few days, Mantou had been eating very little, from three cans of cat food a day to at most one a day.

“Meow.”

After considering it, Viola put Mantou into a backpack, ready to take it to a pet hospital for a check-up.

On the other side.

Emma was carrying a medical box to visit Fiona Knight at the Knight Family.

As she arrived at their doorstep, the housekeeper walked out, “Miss Thompson.”

Emma furrowed her brows slightly.

What did the Knight Family intend?

They actually just sent a housekeeper to deal with her.

Usually, it was Madam Knight who would come out to greet her personally.

The housekeeper continued, “Miss Thompson, our Madam said, from now on, you don’t have to worry about our Miss’s health, please go back.”

What?

What did the Knight Family mean?

“l want to see Madam Knight,” Emma declared.

The housekeeper gave a slight smile, “The Madam is busy right now.”

Hearing this, Emma turned to leave.

This was the character of a physician!

If the Knight Family did not trust her, she would not stay a second longer.

Let’s just wait and see.

Sooner or later, the Knight Family would regret this.

At that time, they would personally go to the Thompson Family to ask for her

Leaving the Knight Family, Elizabeth went to Moira’s studio.

Seeing her arrive, Moira laughed, “Didn’t we agree on three o’clock? Why did you arrive early?”

Emma replied, “1 asked Master to give me more pointers, after all, the competition is coming up.”

Moira was pleased with such a student, “What piece have you prepared to play in the competition?”

“Mayila,” Emma replied.

Hearing this, Moira nodded and said, “The choice of the piece is quite good, but the difficulty is a bit high, and some of the tones are not easy to grasp.

Play it for me to hear.”

“Okay.” Emma took out her violin.

“Mayila” was her best violin piece, which she had practiced for more than ten years.

Soon, the air was filled with beautiful melodies.

However, as Moira listened, she began to feel that something was amiss.

Although the tone and rhythm were well-controlled, Moira felt as if something essential was lacking.

After the performance, Moira looked at Elizabeth, “Emma, are you not in a good state today? This piece feels completely different from the one I heard at your house the other day.”

Emma didn’t panic at all, “It should be related to the mood at the time. That day, I was in a completely relaxed state, and there was no one around me. So the music played naturally felt lighter and more carefree, and compared to now, it should be considered an extraordinary performance..”
