Upon hearing that, Lady Thompsons eyes were filled with regret.

Even though she had been mentally prepared, she was still very sad.

Over the years, she had been constantly missing her daughter.

But fortunately, she still had Sylvia Thompson.

Although Sylvia was not her biological child, she raised her with her own hands, Sylvia, thank you.

Mom, what are you talking about! Sylvia held Lady Thompsons hand, I am your daughter, and its my duty to do all this. I hope even more than you to find my sister soon, so our family can be reunited.

Hearing this, Lady Thompson hugged Sylvia tightly and began to cry.

Sylvia patted Lady Thompsons back gently to comfort her while a faint light flashed in her eyes, which Lady Thompson couldnt see. At that moment, she was even sadder than Lady Thompson.

Why.

Why couldnt Lady Thompson treat her as her own daughter?

She had been with Lady Thompson for eighteen years, while the other Viola had been with her for just a few days?

Was it just because she didnt come out of Lady Thompsons womb?

No.

It was unfair to her.

Sylvia tried to calm herself down, Mom, dont be sad. I believe my sister wouldnt want to see you cry every day. And you still have me, as long as Im here, I wont give up looking for my sister.

Sylvia, youre a good child.

Lady Thompson didnt want to be sad all the time but, after all, Viola was the child she had painstakingly given birth to after carrying her in her womb for ten months.

That was her daughter, irreplaceable by anyone else.

After comforting her for a while, Sylvia continued, Mom, let me help you to the bed to rest for a bit?

Lady Thompson nodded.

Helping Lady Thompson to the bed, tucking her in, Sylvia then turned around and left, gently closing the bedroom door.

Coming downstairs, Sylvia saw Edward Thompson walking in from outside.

Although Edward was only 26 years old, he was already a film emperor in the entertainment industry. With Sylvia being his only little sister and quite a few years younger, he pampered her a lot.

Sylvia, come and see what your third brother has bought for you!

Sylvia ran down with a smile and hugged Edward affectionately, Why did you have time to come back today, third brother?

I came back to see you. Edward patted his sisters head, his face full of affection.

For a split second, the smile on Sylvias face froze.

Come back to see her?

Wasnt it because today was Violas birthday?

Hypocritical.

What good stuff did you bring me? Sylvia asked.bender

You guess. Edward said.

Sylvia put her arms around Edwards arm and began to act coquettishly, Oh, I cant guess! Just tell me, third brother!

You little fool.

Edward patted Sylvias head and then took out the gift box, See for yourself. Sylvia opened the gift box and, after seeing what was inside, screamed in excitement and then jumped onto Edward, hugging him, Thank you, third brother! Youre so nice!

Edward held her with a smile, Little monkey, get down, youre not a child anymore.

No, no! I want to be like when I was a child. Sylvia hugged Edward tightly.

Edward had a helpless expression on his face.

What could he do!

His own sister could only be pampered.

Just then, footsteps were heard outside the door.

Seeing the figure coming in, Edward immediately let go of Sylvia, who was hanging on him, Big brother.

Sylvia also hurriedly stood up straight, Big brother.

Mandel Thompson, with his 1.89 meter tall stature, wearing a handmade suit, handsome facial features, impressively sculpted face lines, and the sharpness of a businessman in his eyes, was not one to make jokes and was usually quite strict with his siblings.

Even a devil like Edward had to behave properly in front of Mandel.

With a glance, Mandel spoke, You are both grown-ups now, be more mindful of your behavior. What would others think if they saw you?

Sylvia didnt say anything.

Edward said, Sylvia is our own sister.

Mandel frowned slightly, When a son grows up, he should avoid his mother. When a daughter grows up, she should avoid her father. All the more so for siblings?

Edward didnt dare to argue any further.

Sylvia lowered her head, feeling wronged, Big brother, I know I was wrong. She knew.

All that talk about sons avoiding their mothers and daughters avoiding their fathers was just an excuse.

Everything was simply because Mandel didnt like her.

Because she had no blood relation with them.

Mandel said be more careful next time and then turned and left.

Watching his retreating figure, Sylvia felt extremely wronged, and her eyes instantly turned red.

Seeing her like this, Edward couldnt help but feel heartache and immediately comforted her, Sylvia, dont be sad. Big brother is like this towards everyone, not just you.Sylvia nodded, Yeah, I know, I dont blame my big brother. Good. Edward comforted softly.

At this moment, Brandon stood in front of the railing on the second floor,

Sylvia, come up.

Coming. Sylvia wiped her tears and immediately went upstairs.

Sylvia entered the study.

Brandon sat in the office chair and opened a file in front of him, Any new updates from Viola recently?

Its Viola again.

Sylvias eyes flashed a look of loss, and then quickly returned to normal, No.

Brandon glanced at Sylvia, Send me the information from this period of time to look at.

Alright. Sylvia nodded.

Brandon wanted to see Violas materials with his own eyes.

What does this mean?

Does he not trust her?

Sylvia bit her lip.

River City.

North Bridge High School.

Fiona Knight was home recuperating from her injury and didnt come to school today.

Viola Thompson was reviewing math.

At this moment, a classmate named Diana Hershey sitting behind her poked Violas back with her hand, Beautiful Thompson.

Hmm? Viola turned her head slightly.

Diana continued, The International Violin Competition will be held in River City. Are you interested in participating? Our class teacher asked me to collect the list of names.

Viola had little interest in it, shaking her head slightly.

Diana looked at Viola and threw out an olive branch, Beautiful Thompson, 1010 is also sponsoring this event. If you win first place, youll not only get a trophy but also a 1010 diamond membership. You can enjoy free milk tea for life, unlimited times.

Diana desperately wanted Viola to participate in the violin competition.

The reason was something that happened yesterday at noon.

Yesterday was Saturday.

Diana went shopping with a few of her good friends to buy clothes, and during that time, they talked about Viola, about how pretty she was and how excellent her grades were.

Unexpectedly, they ran into some students from the International School.

In their conversation, they looked down on Viola and belittled her as a country bumpkin who couldnt even speak French.

As Viola Thompsons loyal fan, Diana couldnt bear to see her being insulted like this, so she argued with them.

As a result, those students from the International School challenged Viola Thompson to participate in the violin competition.

They even mocked Viola, saying her hands were only good for picking up trash.

Diana was almost infuriated to death and impulsively agreed on Violas behalf to participate in the violin competition.

She wanted those trash students from the International School to know that Violas hands were definitely not for picking up garbage.

Actually, 1010 didnt sponsor this event at all. The reason Diana dared to say that was because 1010 was owned by her family. As long as she said the word, her dad would offer a diamond membership reward to the winner of the violin competition.

Hearing this, Violas eyes brightened, Really?

She could skip the competition,

But she couldnt miss out on milk tea!

Diana nodded hastily, Of course!

She knew that Viola could resist any temptation except milk tea.

Viola thought for a while, Then Ill sign up.

Diana was very excited, immediately taking a notebook to write down Violas name, afraid that she would change her mind in the next second.

After school in the evening, Viola passed by a musical instrument store and took a fancy to a violin worth three thousand dollars.

The shop owner smiled and said, This violin is for beginners. Are you just starting to learn, young lady?

Viola replied, Im using it for a competition.

Competition? The shop owner was stunned at first, then said, In that case, this violin definitely wont work! This violin is only suitable for beginners and the sound quality is not that good. I recommend you buy this one. Although it is a bit expensive, its worth it. If you use it for a competition, youre sure to win.

Viola smiled, Its fine, Ill just tune it when I get home. Lets go with this one. The shop owner looked at Viola.

He felt that she was talking nonsense. With a three thousand dollar violin, even if tuned to a master level, it would still not produce the right feeling.

However, the customer is always right. Since Viola insisted on this one, he couldnt say anything about it.

Looking at Viola, he felt that she was a complete beginner and didnt know anything about playing the violin. She must have chosen this entry-level model for the competition just to show off.

In the evening.

Viola Thompson and Elizabeth Thompson arrived home almost at the same time.

What a coincidence, both of them were carrying a violin.

Elizabeth looked at Viola, a gentle smile on her lips, Sis, do you like playing the violin too? Ive been learning it for eleven years. If theres anything you dont understand, feel free to ask me.

Olga was right, Viola Thompson really was disgusting.

Crude imitation. Whatever she did, Viola Thompson did the same!

Why not just be yourself?

Why must you imitate her?
