If Viola Thompson couldn’t get into a good university, it would be him who’d lose face.
After all, Viola is quite popular online currently.
And he himself is a film emperor.
Plus, Sylvia Thompson is a top student from a prestigious 985 university.
The real key point is that Edward Thompson doesn’t want to see Viola every day when he comes home.
Nor does he want to see Sylvia’s aggrieved and submissive look.
As long as Viola is around, Sylvia will never be truly happy.
Mary Perryne didn’t take this matter to heart, “It’s not a big deal if your little sister can’t get into a good university.”
Could the vast Thompson Clan not afford to raise a daughter?
Besides, someone as excellent as Viola could definitely get into a good university even if she skipped a few days of classes.
Edward Thompson frowned slightly, “Mom, you’re spoiling her! You’ll spoil her rotten like this! What do you mean it’s okay if she can’t get into a university? Among all the children in our family, who didn’t get into a prestigious university? Who doesn’t support themselves? Why doesn’t she have to support herself?”
Mrs. Thompson came down the stairs and upon hearing this, said directly, “You all are supporting yourselves, so of course, one person must stay behind to inherit the family estate!”
Inherit the family estate?
Viola?
Edward Thompson widened his eyes. It’s not that he wanted to inherit the estate, but he felt it was unfair to Sylvia, so he immediately asked, “What about Sylvia?”
Mrs. Thompson frowned slightly, “Her? What right does she have to compete with our Viola for the family estate! Let me tell you, everything in this family belongs to Viola. She shouldn’t even think about taking a single thing.”
“Why?” Edward Thompson asked incredulously.
This was playing favorites to the extreme!
They were both daughters, but Mrs. Thompson could be so heartless.
Mrs. Thompson looked at Edward Thompson, “Because she’s simply unworthy!”
Edward Thompson took a deep breath, trying his best to calm himself down.
He wanted to ask more questions.
But he didn’t.
Mary Perryne smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Bob. We can’t decide on your grandma’s share, but your father and I will definitely leave a share for Sylvia.”
The couple wasn’t biased parents.
Everyone would get what they deserved.
Edward Thompson still felt uncomfortable in his heart.
Mainly because Mrs. Thompson’s words were too harsh.
She was indeed getting senile!
At this moment.
Footsteps were heard outside the door.
Soon, Cynthia Wilkins walked in from outside.
“Mrs. Thompson.” She first greeted Mrs. Thompson, and then looked at Mary Perryne, “Mary, is your Viola home?”
“Yes, she’s at home.” Mary Perryne nodded and continued, “I’ll go have someone call her down.”
“Okay.” Cynthia Wilkins nodded.
Mrs. Thompson asked curiously, “Cynthia, do you have business with our Viola?”
“Yes.” Cynthia Wilkins laughed and said, “Mrs. Thompson, it’s because you’ve raised such a wonderful granddaughter! I have a favor to ask her today!”
“Don’t be joking with me.” Mrs. Thompson thought Cynthia Wilkins was just joking.
“Mrs. Thompson, I’m not joking with you.”
Upon saying that, she told Mrs. Thompson about her friend’s situation.
Mrs. Thompson nodded, “So that’s the reason.”
Indeed, not being able to have a child was quite painful.
Mrs. Thompson then asked, “Why did they choose to be DINK (Dual Income No Kids) before?”
Being DINK for so many years, even having used contraceptive methods, it was normal not to get pregnant in a short time.
Especially since they are already forty years old.
Cynthia Wilkins said, “When they were young, they just wanted to enjoy the two-person world. As they got older, they started to think that having a child would be nice too, so they can enjoy family life. Who knew they couldn’t conceive! So, when making any decision, one must think about the consequences beforehand. Otherwise, it’ll be too late to regret it!”
Mrs. Thompson nodded, “Yes, that’s the principle.”
Soon, Viola came down from upstairs.
Cynthia Wilkins stood up and said, “Viola, are you ready? If you’re ready, let’s go now.”
“I’m ready,” Viola answered.
“Then let’s go.” Cynthia Wilkins took Viola’s arm.
Mrs. Thompson was about to say something when Cynthia Wilkins smiled and turned back, “Mrs. Thompson, don’t worry. I promise I’ll bring your precious granddaughter back safely, and won’t give you any reason to worry.”
“Good!” Mrs. Thompson nodded with a smile.
The two got into the car.
Cynthia Wilkins then informed Viola about her friend’s current situation.
“My friend is a self-made person and has had a difficult life. She’s been DINK since she met her husband at twenty-eight. They have tried various means to have a child since last year but couldn’t conceive.”
