Although Lady Thompson had decided to give Viola Thompson money.
Lady Thompson definitely would not give it to her so easily.
If Viola realized that getting money was so simple, she would definitely rely on her in the future for money.
If Viola developed such a habit, then she would beco an insatiable well.
Therefore.
She needs to keep Viola waiting first.
To let her understand that, even though the money is in her hand, it cos with strings attached.
Hearing this, Nicolar Taylor nodded, "As you wish, my lady."
After Nicolar left, Vicki Thompson seed to have thought of sothing, she then said, "Grandmother, I heard that the guest from the Capital City is not an ordinary person, perhaps you should take the ti to et her."
"What do you an?" Lady Thompson seed a bit confused.
She's here asking for money.
What's special about that?
Vicki Thompson continued, "Grandmother, aren't you aware? Ever since she arrived, the most talked-about subject among our servants has been her."
"What are they saying?"
Vicki Thompson replied, "She's a young lady after all, so naturally, her looks are the most discussed subject."
Only when one has nothing left, do they repeatedly resort to their appearance.
Upon saying this, Vicki paused for a mont, then continued, "They say that Miss Thompson is exceptionally beautiful, worthy of the title of the number one beauty if she were in Ewik Land."
Upon hearing this, Lady Thompson frowned unhappily.
The number one beauty?
Having lived to the age of ninety-one, Lady Thompson had seen countless beauties, but those who dared to call themselves number one beauty were rare.
Such narcissism.
Vicki Thompson looked at Mrs. Thompson with a smile, "Grandmother, why don't you et her? Even if you don't want to see her, I do!"
Vicki was sincere in her response.
She was sowhat curious.
But she couldn't just run over to see Viola.
After all, she was the young lady of the Thompson family and Viola was rely a distant relative of the Thompsons.
She couldn't degrade herself by going to Viola.
Lady Thompson already didn't like this niece who had co from Capital City and was even more displeased at this mont, she unsettledly said, "What good is a pretty face?"
If looks were helpful, the Thompson family in Capital City wouldn't have lost their prestige, and Viola wouldn't have had to travel thousands of miles to Ewik Land to seek refuge with them!
"Grandmother, a beautiful appearance can bring joy to the eyes," Vicki said, pausing for a mont, "Furthermore, she is our kin after all. If we don't even et her and just sent her off with so money, it may seem heartless."
In fact, Vicki's argunt was sowhat valid.
The Thompson family's reputation was at stake, after all.
And Lady Thompson was a prestigious woman of substance.
Upon hearing this, Lady Thompson narrowed her eyes, then said, "Even if we et her, we can't do it imdiately."
Vicki nodded, "Grandmother, managing the daily affairs, you surely don't have much ti to et so unimportant person."
Having said that, Vicki called out to Nicolar, who had already left, "Nicolar, wait a mont."
Nicolar stopped and walked into the dining hall, "Miss Thompson, do you need anything else?" she asked respectfully.
Vicki continued, "Nicolar, tell our esteed guest from Capital City that Lady Thompson has been extrely busy of late and that she can only et her in three days, so ask her to be patient for a while."
Having said that, Vicki paused for a mont, then said, "During this ti, make sure to provide whatever our guest wishes to do, eat or see. We can't afford to neglect our guest. Do you understand?"
"Understood, Miss Thompson."
Vicki nodded, "You may go."
Nicolar turned and left.
Lady Thompson looked at Vicki and smiled, "You are such a kind child."
Normally, Vicki wouldn't need to be so kind to an outsider.
Vicki gently responded, "After all, she's a girl alone in a strange place. It must be difficult."
Her words quickly echoed with Lady Thompson.
She was reminded of Vicki.
After all, Vicki too had been alone and independent for years.
"Vicki, tell , has anyone bullied you out there these years?"
Upon hearing this, Vicki laughed, "Grandmother, what are you talking about? Who would dare bully !"
"That's good," Lady Thompson replied, "If anyone dares to bully you. I would never let him go!"
anwhile.
Nicolar returned to the guest room and relayed Vicki's words to Viola Thompson.
Three days.
Hearing this, Viola frowned slightly. Besides finding the blue moon grass on this trip to Ewik Land, she also had a dical conference to attend.
