Soon, it was the next day.
Receiving a call from the housekeeper, Viola Thompson rushed to the Thompson Clan's residence right away.
She was still carrying a small backpack containing the Heavenly Pearl.
Housekeeper Thor guided Viola to the main hall.
Today, the whole Thompson family was present.
The mbers of the main house, the second house, the third house.
As well as the mbers of the Thompson Clan and others were all there.
Viola was still in her simple white shirt and black trousers. Following behind Housekeeper Thor, there wasn't a hint of fear in her gaze. Instead, she emanated a natural and inherent aura.
It was as if she had co to inspect the Thompson Clan.
Housekeeper Thor introduced, "Miss Thompson, this is Lady Thompson."
"Hello, Lady Thompson, I'm Viola Thompson." Viola's polite manner was flawless, "Tristan Thompson and Sally Bennett were my grandparents."
The reason she didn't ntion Sawyer Thompson and Mary Perryne was that she thought that Lady Thompson might not be familiar with her parents.
After all, they were from different generations.
"Viola Thompson?" Lady Thompson lifted her eyelids to look at Viola, with surprise written all over her eyes.
Such a beautiful girl.
Bright eyes, shiny teeth, stunning and alluring.
One couldn't help but heap all the words of praise on her.
No wonder she harbored such vile thoughts.
Lady Thompson was silent for a long ti. Thompson Clan mbers also lifted their heads to look at her.
Upon seeing her, they were also stunned.
Previously, they had only heard the servants' gossip, they could never have imagined that Viola was so beautiful.
A celestial beauty.
One to be admired.
At this mont, the room was filled with chatter and sounds of astonishnt.
Lady Thompson coughed lightly and the room imdiately restored its silence, "Sit down."
"Thank you, Lady Thompson."
According to seniority, Viola should call her "Grandma". But Viola saw that this old lady seed hostile towards her.
Viola was not a saint nor a people pleaser.
Naturally, she wouldn't go out of her way to curry favor.
Lady Thompson glanced at Viola, and then said, "I was very close friends with your grandmother when we were young, we fought side by side on the battlefield. Your grandmother, Sally Bennett, was a true heroine and a role model for your generation!"
Viola couldn't agree more with this statent.
In her heart, Mrs. Thompson will always remain an irreplaceable heroine and warrior.
Without their bloody battles, there would be no peace today.
With that, Lady Thompson turned to Viola, "I rember that your grandmother's favorite phrase was 'Rather die for the country than live in disgrace'. Now that your grandmother's gone, I have the right to guide you. Even if you can't be as self-sacrificing as your grandmother, you should at least learn to respect yourself and value your dignity! Especially you youngsters, don't take advantage of your good looks and do whatever you wish, without considering the face of our family! You must also learn sha!"
Lady Thompson signaled the housekeeper to bring out a box. After opening the lid, it was full of cash.
For a mont, Lady Thompson squinted, speaking in an authoritative tone, "Here's ten million and a ticket back to the Capital City. If you have any sense of sha, never step foot in Ewik land ever again! You're not welco here!"
It now made sense.
It made sense why Housekeeper Thor had taken her directly to the guest room.
It made sense why Lady Thompson had been too busy to et her.
From the beginning, they had planned to dismiss her as a beggar.
Anyone else, after hearing these words from Mrs. Thompson, would no doubt feel unsteady.
However, Viola didn't.
Still, her expression remained calm. Turning to look at Lady Thompson, who the Thompson family mbers feared, she t her gaze.
There was no fear in her eyes.
Even after seeing her like this, Lady Thompson couldn't help but feel smalleer.
After a mont, Viola slowly spoke, "I am not sure what has happened that has led you, in your anger and resentnt, to use the na of my late grandmother, and without knowing the whole story, to say such words. You keep emphasizing self-respect, self-love, self-esteem, and a sense of sha, standing on a moral high ground and criticizing others, may I ask if you possess these things you speak of? You not only lack all of these, but also lack sothing called "decency"!"
"Moreover, you are not qualified to be compared with my grandmother! You are not even qualified to claim to be her close friend. Deserters will always be deserters, and she, Sally Bennett, is a true heroine!"
Yes.
Lady Thompson did fight alongside Mrs. Thompson, but later, as the battles beca more intense and dangerous, seeing her forr comrades falling one by one, Lady Thompson, not willing to leave her three children behind, secretly deserted and returned ho. She then followed her husband to Ewik Land.
She thought this part of history had been forgotten, but she didn't expect it to be brought up again today!
Lady Thompson's face turned pale, and she was trembling with anger.
What a talkative young girl!
Everyone in the hall was stunned.
Especially the three daughters-in-law of the Thompson clan.
They never thought that they could see Lady Thompson get so angry in their lifeti.
It was truly a rare spectacle.
"Viola! Do you have any manners left?! My grandmother is, after all, an elder! Is this how you speak to elders in your ho?" Thompson Clan mbers stood up, "My grandmother kindly advised you not to go down the wrong path, but you were ungrateful and spoke nonsense!"
Viola slightly lifted her chin, with a chill in her eyes, "So, your family's manners are to convict soone without asking a single question? May I ask what I have done for you to think that I lack self-respect, self-love, self-esteem, and a sense of sha? Turns out, it's a family tradition. No wonder if the old ones are unreasonable, the young ones are the sa!"
Thompson Clan mbers never thought that Viola could be so bold.
"Apologize! Apologize to my grandmother right now!"
"Apologize to a deserter?" Viola raised her eyebrows slightly, looking straight at the Thompson Clan mbers, and 'tsked', "Little girl, you're not worth it!"
Her manner was sowhat arrogant.
Thompson Clan mbers clenched their fingers, almost gnashing their teeth, "Viola, you will regret this!"
Very few people could make the Thompson Clan mbers so angry.
Viola was the only one.
Just then, the housekeeper ran to the Thompson Clan mbers, lowering his voice, "Miss Thompson, the Divine Doctor has arrived."
The Thompson Clan mbers' expression relaxed a bit. Turning to the housekeeper, they said "See the guest out!"
After welcoming Nathaniel Besian, she would have a hundred ways to make Viola apologize.
Viola picked up her backpack with the Heavenly Pearl in it, turned, and walked out.
There was no need to waste words on these kinds of people!
From now on, simply avoid them.
Nathaniel Besian also entered at this mont, "Miss Thompson..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Nathaniel Besian turned to look at Viola, "Mast...Master! You're here too?"
