Chapter 227 - 227: 123: Like a grandmother_3
But now that I look closely, there is indeed a slight resemblance between the two.
“Miss, you are mistaken. They don’t look alike at all.” “Really?” Sylvia seemed to have grasped her last straw.
“Yes, really.”
Sylvia breathed a sigh of relief, suppressed all her emotions, and walked downstairs.
Seeing Sylvia come down alone, Mary asked curiously, “Where’s your grandmother?”
With a gentle tone, Sylvia said, “Grandma might not be feeling well; she’s asleep. I knocked on her door, but there was no response.” Mary nodded, “Then let your grandma rest for a while.”
“Okay.”
Sylvia sat down next to Viola and said with a smile, “Viola, if I’m not mistaken, you should be a senior in high school, right?”
Viola nodded slightly.
Hearing this, Edward curiously asked, “Sylvia, do you two know each other?” Sylvia said with a smile, “Viola is someone my mom and I met in River City.”
“I see.”
Sylvia looked at Viola and continued to ask, “So, Viola, how come you have time to visit Capital City at this moment? Senior year in high school should be the busiest time.”
Senior students are living life on the edge every day.
These words subtly implied that Viola had no ambition and did not take her studies seriously.
As expected, when Edward heard these words, he looked at Viola with a tinge of scrutiny.
“I took some leave to come to Capital City,” Viola said.
Took leave to come to Capital City?
As a student, the most important thing is to study hard, but Viola had taken leave to come and play in Capital City.
Her attitude was quite lax!
Such a person could never achieve good grades.
Sylvia nodded, “So that’s it. It’s not easy for you to come to Capital City, Viola.
Be sure to have fun while you’re here.”
“Okay.” Viola’s tone was faint.
Sylvia continued, “Viola, I took the College Entrance Examination last year and still have many study materials, as well as some important points I’ve summarized. If you need them, I can dig them out for you.”
She kept calling her “sister” gently, but her words were as sharp as a knife.
She was younger than Viola, but she had definitely gone to college. And Viola?
Viola was still in high school.
“Thank you,” Viola declined gracefully, “I’ve pretty much memorized all the important points.”
“What a pity.” Sylvia had a look of regret in her eyes.
This made Edward quite unhappy and followed up with, “Do you know which college my sister got into last year?”
“She ranked sixth nationwide, second in Capital City, and was directly admitted to Cyan University.”
As an actor, Edward was very proud to have such an academically gifted sister.
What was Viola?
Could she do better than Sylvia?
Many people begged Sylvia for her study materials and couldn’t get them, but Viola just outright refused!
This somehow seemed ungrateful.
“Miss Thompson is very talented,” Viola said lightly.
Sylvia said with a smile, “I’m really not that talented! There are many people who are better than me. During my senior year, I was addicted to playing games and didn’t read much. I regret it now when I think about it. Viola, you are so pretty, so your grades should be even better than mine.”
A good-looking person is called a vase.
Viola was a vase.
Don’t even mention being ranked sixth nationwide; she probably can’t even get to the sixtieth.
Viola gave a faint smile without refuting, only saying, “Thank you for your compliment, Miss Thompson.”
This…
Seemed a bit too arrogant.
Edward furrowed his brows slightly.
After all, in his heart, nobody was better than Sylvia.
Viola was no match for Sylvia.
But now, Viola was boasting in front of Sylvia.
For a moment, Edward’s impression of Viola took a nosedive.
Samuel smiled and said, “Talking about studying is so boring. Viola is our guest today, let’s chat about lighter topics. Viola, where is your hometown?”
“I’m from River City.”
“What a coincidence, I have a classmate who is also from River City,” Samuel continued, “Is your place surrounded by the sea on all sides?”
Viola nodded slightly. “Not only is our place surrounded by the sea, but it also has beautiful scenery and lots of delicious food. Samuel, you are welcome to visit River City.”
At this moment, Sylvia gave Edward a meaningful glance. Then she stood up and said, “Mom, I’m going to the restroom.”
“Go ahead,” Mary said.
Shortly after Sylvia left, Edward immediately followed and stood up, “Mom, 1 also need to go to the restroom..”
