"No," Viola Thompson said, "There are mbers of the laboratory going with , Dad, you don't have to worry."
"Hmm." Sawyer Thompson admonished, "Viola, I'll tell you again, safety is always a priority. You must rember, your mom and I are always waiting for you at ho."
Those who have experienced the pain of losing a child once, never wish to experience it a second ti.
Upon hearing these words, Viola felt a deep connection, "Understood, Dad."
Sawyer Thompson then pulled out a map.
It was densely populated with landmarks.
Viola Thompson asked: "Is this the map of Ewik Land?"
"You recognized it?" Sawyer Thompson was a little surprised.
He didn't expect Viola to instantly recognize the map of Ewik Land.
It seems that she has done her research well.
"Yes." Viola nodded slightly.
Sawyer Thompson continued: "Ewik Land is divided into two halves by two forces. The southeast is under the jurisdiction of the Garcia family of Country Polluton, and the northwest is managed by the Thompson Family.
Technically, the Thompson Family in Ewik Land is of the sa branch as ours. According to the genealogy, you should call the leader of the Ewik Land Thompsons, your third uncle."
After saying this, Sawyer Thompson paused, "After you arrive in Ewik Land, first pay a visit to your third uncle and
aunt, and send them our regards.
By the way, this is our Thompson's exclusive token. Once you have this, they will know who you are!"
Viola Thompson was a little surprised.
"I have never heard you ntion the Thompson Family in Ewik Land before."
Sawyer Thompson laughed: "This ti if you hadn't ntioned going to Ewik Land, even I would have forgotten."
Mary Perryne added: "Viola, your dad and I have never t your third uncle, only heard your grandfather ntion him.
Your third uncle and his wife are likely to be easy-going people. When you get there, rember to be polite."
"Understood."
At the sa ti.
The Thompson's in Ewik Land.
The entire northwest region was well-managed under the Thompson's control.
At this mont, Lady Thompson was sitting in the grandmaster's chair, holding a string of Buddhist beads, "Elder daughter-in-law, I heard that soone is coming from Capital City?"
Lady Thompson, despite being old and white-haired, without even opening her eyes, emanated an aura of cunning and astuteness.
Upon hearing this, Rosalind Rohr nodded, "Indeed Mother, it is said that a young girl is coming."
Lady Thompson suddenly opened her eyes, her expression was indiscernible, "There hasn't been any news from Capital City for so many years, why suddenly a young girl is coming?"
Could it be...
The clan has fallen into decline?
Rosalind Rohr narrowed her eyes, and seed to have co to the sa conclusion as Lady Thompson, "Perhaps the family has fallen into hard tis. What should we do when the ti cos?"
When you're wealthy, you have relatives even in distant places.
When you're poor, you're ignored even by those closest.
Rosalind Rohr didn't fear a leech relative who might be blowing in like autumn wind, what she was really repulsed by were opportunists.
It's disgusting.
Lady Thompson didn't seem to take this matter to heart, "After all, we are of the sa lineage, to treat them with courtesy is only right."
Hearing this, Rosalind Rohr furrowed her brows, "That's true, but there's no such thing as a free lunch, what if it's soone who can never be satiated..."
The implication was left unspoken.
Lady Thompson put down the Buddhist beads, and asked, "What is the girl's relation to Tristan Thompson and Sally Bennett?"
Tristan Thompson was the na of Lady Thompson's late husband, and Sally Bennett was Mrs. Thompson.
Both of them were long gone, yet Lady Thompson still addressed them by their nas, which was sowhat unbecoming.
But Lady Thompson didn't seem to think anything was wrong.
Rosalind Rohr, on the other hand, was clear about these relations, "That young girl's na is Viola Thompson, she's the granddaughter of Tristan Thompson and Sally Bennett, who was raised in the country. As for Sawyer Thompson and Mary Perryne, they certainly put in a lot of effort to legitimize her as their daughter. So ti ago, this girl even won the National Top Scorer title in Sinian, and she also completed the Sight Restorer plan!"
"Oh? That good?" Lady Thompson was quite curious, "She might even surpass Vicki."
The Vicki ntioned by Lady Thompson is Vicki Thompson.
Lady Thompson's only granddaughter.
Vicki Thompson was intelligent and agile; she was once prophesied by the grandmaster of Ewik Land to be the chosen one.
And Vicki Thompson has never let the Thompson family down.
She got accepted into the best school in Ewik Land, won nurous international awards, and even joined the most mysterious Marginine Organization in Ewik Land.
The Thompson family believed Vicki Thompson was the person capable of unifying Ewik Land.
Lady Thompson regarded Vicki Thompson as a jewel in the palm, petting and favoring her considerably!
"Mom, are you really buying that?" Rosalind Rohr laughing said: "It's probably just an optical illusion that the Thompsons paid to create! How could an uncivilized village girl be the national top scorer? And complete the Sight Restorer plan? What a joke!"
It really is a huge joke!
Viola Thompson was only 19 years old.
How much can a young girl achieve?
If she really had talent, she wouldn't be running to them from afar.
Lady Thompson nodded, her eyes murky and profound, "That's a point."
As Lady Thompson finished speaking, it seed like she suddenly thought of sothing; she looked up at Rosalind Rohr, "Isn't Vicki supposed to return ho tomorrow?"
As soon as Vicki Thompson was ntioned, Rosalind Rohr's face was imdiately filled with smiles, "Yes. She called yesterday and said she missed her grandmother and was coming ho tomorrow."
"Really?" Lady Thompson asked.
"Yes!"
Since Vicki Thompson joined the Marginine Organization, she has been in contact with her family very rarely and hardly ever cos ho during holidays.
Due to the strict discipline of the Marginine Organization, she was only allowed to call her mother once every three weeks. Hence, Lady Thompson had not seen Vicki Thompson for quite so ti.
After a pause, Rosalind Rohr continued: "Vicki's been a dutiful child since young, every ti she calls, she always rembers to send her regards to you."
"Good, good!" Lady Thompson looked at Rosalind Rohr with a smile, "What ti is Vicki's boat tomorrow? I'll personally go to the pier to pick her up!"
Rosalind Rohr hurriedly waved her hands in refusal, "Mother, you can't do that. No matter what, Vicki is part of the younger generation. How can we let her be picked up by you? It would overwhelm her. Besides, if you personally pick up a mber of the younger generation, it would definitely elicit gossip about Vicki from others!"
It was lonely at the top for Vicki.
However, there was also so tactical retreating within Rosalind Rohr's words.
Even though Vicki Thompson was Lady Thompson's only granddaughter, Lady Thompson did have other grandsons.
There were two elder male cousins who outranked Vicki.
Currently, the authority of the Thompson Clan was all in Lady Thompson's hands. Rosalind Rohr had to make Lady Thompson focus only on Vicki.
"They themselves are incompetent, what right do they have to discuss my Vicki!" Lady Thompson was slightly irate, "If they have any complaints, they should co to directly! I want them to know that not only do I adore Vicki, but in the future, I even plan to hand over the entire Thompson Clan to her!"
