Sylvia Thompson didn’t talk.

She felt wronged.

Her silence was tantamount to acquiescence.

Iris White became more sure of her thoughts. She wanted to protect Sylvia by aligning herself with Bob Thompson.

At this moment, Iris’s phone rang, and she took it out to check before saying, “Sylvia, I’ll go outside for a bit, someone’s looking for me.”

“Alright, you go.”

Iris White walked outside.

Not long after she left, another one of Sylvia’s best friends came over.

“Sylvia.”

Sylvia turned back with a smile, “Doreen.”

Doreen Zhao walked elegantly over and asked, “Where’s Iris?”

“She went outside.” Sylvia replied.

Doreen nodded, “I just saw your grandmother outside. She was so happy! Her smile almost couldn’t close. It seems that your new sister really knows how to deal.”

All these years in the Thompson Clan, Sylvia had never been able to gain Mrs. Thompson’s favor.

And Viola Thompson just came for a few days?

From this, it could be seen that Viola’s skills were extraordinary.

Sylvia said, “My sister is indeed more sensible than me.”

Doreen chuckled, but didn’t say anything.

Sensible?

If the Thompson Clan was a small, insignificant family, would Viola still be so sensible?

After all, it was still the power of money.

Who wouldn’t want such opulence?

Soon enough.

Iris White returned as well.

Sylvia said, “Iris, Doreen, I saw my sister come out. I’ll take you to meet her. She’s very beautiful, and I believe you’ll both like her a lot.”

Iris White and Doreen Zhao followed Sylvia’s footsteps.

Viola Thompson walked behind Mrs. Thompson.

She wore a gorgeous red dress and a pair of expensive Imperial Green jade earrings.

Jade was usually considered old-fashioned, so under normal circumstances, the elderly wore more of it.

However, when worn on Viola’s neck, it seemed incredibly pure. Against the green shade, her already fair skin appeared even more translucent.

Her every step was like the birth of a lotus, and her mannerisms were inherently irreplaceable.

It made people gasp in admiration.

“I didn’t expect the real Miss Thompson to be so beautiful!”

“Much prettier than Sylvia.”

“Shh, be quiet.”

No matter how quietly some things were said, they would still reach Sylvia’s ears.

Over the years, Sylvia had been extremely conscious of her image in public. She believed that there was no one in the entire capital who didn’t like her.

But now, such voices had emerged.

Viola Thompson.

She must have bribed these people with money. That’s why these opinions surfaced.

Viola was so malicious.

She even tried to ruin Sylvia’s reputation at this kind of event.

Sylvia tried her best to maintain her expression and brought Iris White and Doreen Zhao to Viola Thompson.

“Sister, let me introduce you to my two good friends, Iris White and Doreen Zhao.”

Upon seeing Viola,

Iris and Doreen were slightly taken aback.

They initially thought they would see a sallow-faced, rude country girl.

Unexpectedly, this country girl was so beautiful.

Viola Thompson smiled faintly, “Nice to meet you.”

Iris White smiled at Viola, “I heard from Sylvia that Miss Thompson is very beautiful, and now that I see you in person, you truly are a beauty that can topple nations. I wonder if I’ll have the honor of sharing a drink with you later.”

“Of course.” Viola nodded slightly.

“It’s my pleasure.” Iris said.

Other guests came to greet Mrs. Thompson.

Mrs. Thompson actively introduced them to Viola, “Viola, this is Aunt Wang, and this is Uncle Cooper.”

Viola greeted them politely.

With the return of the Thompson Clan’s young princess, almost half of Capital City had come to the event.

Viola had been following Mrs. Thompson around to meet people throughout the night.

Iris White’s eyes locked onto Viola’s figure as she walked up to her with two glasses of wine.

“Miss Thompson, congratulations. I wish you all the best in your future life.”

Viola took the glass of wine Iris handed her. Under the reflection of the crystal lights, the red liquid refracted a beautiful light.

She brought the glass to her lips.

Iris watched Viola’s movements with a slight smirk at the corner of her mouth.

Charm was colorless and tasteless, causing no discomfort upon consumption. It wouldn’t act up until thirty minutes later.

By that time…

Just as Viola was about to take a sip, she suddenly seemed to see something and put the glass down on the table, “Miss White, look over there.”

Iris White looked puzzled and turned around, then turned back to Viola, “What’s over there?”

“Maybe I was mistaken.” Viola smiled faintly and picked up the wine glass again, “I’m drinking wine, but Miss White is holding a beverage, isn’t that inappropriate?”

The reason Iris was holding a beverage was that she was afraid of getting the drinks mixed up.

What if she ended up drinking the spiked glass of wine herself?

But now, there was no need for such concerns.

Iris White put the beverage down and picked up a wine glass from the table, “Then I’ll drink first.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she drank the red wine in her glass.

Viola also drank the liquid in the glass.

Seeing Viola drink the red wine, victory was evident in Iris White’s eyes.

From now on.

All she needed to do was watch the show.

Through the crowd, Sylvia saw this scene, and the corners of her mouth also raised slightly.

She knew that Iris White had succeeded.

Viola was finished!

The banquet was still going on.

Dean Legel’s arrival, pushed the banquet to an even higher climax.

Dean Legel stood on the stage.

With just a slight lift of his hand, the entire audience became silent.

“Hello everyone, I’m Dean Legel.”

As soon as the words came out.

Everyone immediately cheered.

“Shh.” Although already over fifty, Dean Legel looked very young, no more than thirty years old at most. “Everyone, be quiet. Now, I want to play the Radetzky March for you all, but I need someone to accompany me. I wonder if there’s any guest skilled at playing the piano?”

A four-handed piano duet?

Four-handed duets in piano playing were very difficult. Moreover, Dean Legel had chosen a piece with a difficulty rating of five stars.

There was a buzz of discussion in the audience.

Doreen turned to Sylvia, “Does your new sister play the piano?”

Hearing this, Sylvia was startled and hurriedly whispered, “No, my sister can’t play the piano, don’t say that. What if Dean invites her on stage?”

That’s right.

Sylvia did it on purpose.

She wanted Viola to embarrass herself in public.

With so many guests attending the event, if Viola was asked to go on stage and didn’t know how to play the piano, how awkward would it be then?

Can’t play the piano?

This would be fun!}

Upon learning this information, Doreen immediately stood up and shouted, “Dean, since today’s Family Reunion Banquet is for the young Miss Thompson, it would be a shame if someone else were to outshine her. Why don’t you invite Miss Thompson to accompany you on stage?”
