Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

Chapter 833: 255: Powerful Background_6
 

“You’re welcome.”

Ethan Viper stood by, his eyes shifting back and forth before speaking again, “Sis, if those two are calling you Auntie, shouldn’t they call me Uncle according to seniority?”

Ethan Viper, cunning in his young age, gets a laugh from Dolores Frieman, she says, “Indeed, as per the seniority, you would be Viola’s cousin, they should call you Uncle!”

Ethan Viper walked over to Theresa Winslet and Hugh Winslet, “Quick, call me Uncle.”

Both were very obedient, sweetly greeting, “Hello, Uncle.”

Ethan Viper’s vanity had been satisfied, he tip-toed and tapped Theresa and Hugh, “Good kids, when Uncle gets rich, I will treat you to candy.”

Dolores Frieman and Rachel Barton chuckled at the scene.

Viola Thompson’s eyes were curved happily too.

Dolores Frieman continued, “Viola, have you guys eaten? If not, I am going to cook now.”

Viola Thompson replied, “Dolores, you don’t have to bother. We ate outside.”

“That’s good.” Dolores Frieman nodded, and then said, “Viola, I’ve been thinking of getting my two kids to take my surname. Would the paperwork be troublesome?”

Changing the surname of the children is a way of saying goodbye to the past.

Dolores Frieman did not want her children, who she had brought up with great difficulties, to carry that scumbag’s surname at the end.

Viola Thompson replied, “Just take all the necessary documents to the local community police station, it shouldn’t be too difficult. You can take the children tomorrow for inquiry.”

“Ok.”

Rachel Barton was surprised. Her elder sister was planning to change the kids’ surname, and they didn’t discuss this ahead of time.

Normally, they would always consult her first.

Because she is the one with the highest level of education in their family.

However.

In front of Viola Thompson, she still falls short.

Unconsciously, it was after nine. Viola Thompson looked at the clock on the wall and curiously asked, “Does Ella work this late every day?”

Rachel Barton’s heart tightened.

She was afraid of Viola Thompson mentioning Delia Frieman.

She was even more afraid of Viola Thompson piercing that paper window.

Dolores Frieman nodded, “Yeah, your second sister leaves early and comes back late every day. However, the salary is pretty good.”

Viola Thompson smiled and said, “The capable are always busy. Capital City is a very competitive city. Ella’s achievements are not easy to come by, she is really amazing.”

In Viola Thompson’s eyes, Delia Frieman is someone who deserves respect.

Although she has a bad past, she has never bent over backwards.

Just like a wild rose that won’t die, no matter how harsh the environment, it can always bloom the most beautiful flower.

Dolores Frieman laughed and said, “Ella has been clever since she was a child. If she had gone to school, she would certainly have been as good as Rachel, had a good university degree.”

However, Rachel Barton didn’t think so.

After all, Delia Frieman can still participate in the adult college entrance examination and resume her studies now.

But Delia Frieman never actually takes action.

She only knows how to blame others, and willingly was degenerating herself.

After half an hour, Viola Thompson expressed her wish to leave.

Rachel Barton escorted her downstairs.

In the elevator.

Viola Thompson turned towards Rachel Barton, “Rachel, you seem distracted during dinner today. Did something happen recently?”

“No.” Rachel Barton shook her head.

Viola Thompson continued, “Rachel, we grew up as good friends. If you run into any difficulties, you must tell me.”

“Um.” Rachel Barton replied, “Viola, I really don’t have any problems. I just occasionally recall that unbearable past. Why did I end up like this?”

If she could, Rachel Barton would rather none of that had ever happened.

She doesn’t need a single family member now.

Although she is now out of that cage, the wounds from the past are still there, and then there’s Delia Frieman.

Though nobody has discovered what Delia Frieman does for a living yet.

But paper cannot wrap up a fire after all.

Rachel Barton had a hunch.

One day, she will become the joke in everyone’s eyes.

She was really scared.

When she finished speaking, her eyes reddening slightly, she hugged Viola Thompson.

“Rachel, let the past be the past,” Viola Thompson patted Rachel Barton’s shoulder, “We need to live in the present and look forward to the future. You are also blessed. At least, you have two caring sisters and lovely nephews by your side.”

Rachel Barton nodded, “Hmm.”

A moment passed, then she let go of Viola Thompson, “Viola, thank you.”

If it weren’t for Viola Thompson, her current life wouldn’t exist.

Viola, laughing, said “Silly, didn’t we promise each other when we were little? That we would be best friends forever!”

The words from the past are still echoing in her ears, yet in the blink of an eye, both of them have grown so much.

“Rachel, it’s getting late. I should head back now.”

“Alright.”

Then Ethan Viper turned back to address Rachel, “Goodbye, Sister Rachel.”

“Goodbye.”

Watching Viola’s retreating figure, Rachel felt a strong sense of envy.

If she possessed Viola’s appearance and family background, how wonderful it would be — she wouldn’t have to hide her own feelings anymore.

Rachel sighed softly.

A moment later, she turned back as well.

Just at that moment, Delia Frieman’s voice suddenly echoed through the dark night, “Rachel! What are you doing downstairs?”

Rachel turned around, “Ella is back. Viola just left, I saw her off.”

Delia said, “If I had known Viola was here, I would have come back earlier.”

Rachel was curious, “Can you leave the sales department early?”

“Hmm,” Delia nodded, “I forgot to mention it, Ella is now the team leader of the sales department.”

Team leader of the sales department?

Rachel was speechless, but refrained from showing her feelings.

After all, she was a college student.

Did Delia really think she was a fool?

Could Delia, with her education and experience, really become the team leader of a sales department?

Rachel, smiling, said “Ella, congratulations.”

Delia continued, “At first, I was very proud of becoming a team leader. However, now, I have bigger ambitions. Viola was right, I can aim even higher.”

“Did Viola say that?” Rachel asked.

Delia nodded, “Yes, she did.”

Rachel thought to herself, Delia must have misunderstood Viola’s intentions.

Viola’s real intention was probably to encourage Delia to face reality and start over, but Delia had interpreted it as…

Rachel didn’t say more, continuing instead by saying “Ella, it’s already late, let’s go home.”

“Hmm,” Delia matched Rachel’s pace.

…

Nine Continent Island.

JS Hotel.

Topmost floor.

Nako Garcia sat at her desk, looking up at her assistant, “Have you checked everything out?”

The assistant nodded, “Yes.”

After the assistant spoke, he continued, “Princess, here is Viola Thompson’s family information.”

Nako Garcia took the handed over information of Viola Thompson.

She had thought that since Viola Thompson was so high-profile, even daring to hit Visha Garcia, that the Thompson clan must have an extraordinarily powerful background.

Turns out that wasn’t the case.

Maybe in Sinian Country, the Thompson clan is an illustrious elite family.

But in the international arena, it doesn’t amount too much.

Especially not when dealing with someone of Nako Garcia’s exceptional lineage.

Nako Garcia hooked the corner of her lips, “So Sawyer Thompson has business dealings with the Will family?”

The Will family are also among the elites of Country Polluton.

However, their rank is slightly lower than the Garcia family.

As such, the Will family is under the Garcia family’s control.

“Yes.” The assistant nodded.

“Good,” Nako Garcia put down the information, picking up the telephone on her desk and dialed, “Hello, get me Dylan Weir.”
