Viola’s expression remained unchanged, then she asked, “How is Aunt Zhang’s family environment?”

“She has a husband, but he is not a good person, he’s a worthless gambling addict,” said the housekeeper with a sigh, “Not only does he gamble, he also likes to drink. Whenever he drinks too much, he starts beating people. Aunt Zhang has had a tough time over the years, often being beaten to the point of sustaining multiple injuries.”

Everyone in the house knew about Aunt Zhang’s situation.

And they all felt sorry for her.

They remember one time, half of Aunt Zhang’s face was swollen from a beating, yet she still insisted on coming to work.

Viola narrowed her eyes slightly, “Why hasn’t she divorced him?”

The housekeeper continued, “We’ve also advised her to get a divorce, but Aunt Zhang is rather old-fashioned and conservative. In her opinion, divorced women all bear a bad reputation. Therefore, even if she is beaten half to death, she never considers divorce.”

In the end, the housekeeper sighed, “Aunt Zhang is truly a pitiful person!”

Pitiful?

Hearing this, Viola didn’t blink.

The one who is pitied must have done something hateful.

She had an intuition.

Aunt Zhang was definitely not as pitiful as she sounded.

Viola looked at the housekeeper, then asked, “Does Aunt Zhang have any children?”

“She had a child, but he died shortly after birth. I heard that she and her husband later adopted a child, who is now sixteen or seventeen years old. I’m not quite sure about the specifics, I heard about it in their casual chat. Aunt Zhang doesn’t talk much when she works.”

“What do you think of Aunt Zhang’s character?” Viola continued to ask.

“Aunt Zhang’s character is beyond reproach. She never gossips behind others’ backs, faithfully accomplishes her tasks and is very diligent. Over the years, she has never taken a day off nor argued with anyone.” The housekeeper’s evaluation of Aunt Zhang was very high.

Upon hearing this, Viola nodded, “Thank you, housekeeper. About today’s matter…”

Before Viola could finish her sentence, the housekeeper laughed and said, “Don’t worry, I promise not to tell anyone about today’s matter. If there’s nothing else, I will leave first, Miss!”

Having said that, the housekeeper turned and walked towards the door.

Watching the housekeeper’s departing figure, Viola’s handsome face did not show any particular expression, but her delicate almond eyes narrowed slightly, shaped like crescent moons. The depth in her eyes was almost bottomless.

Ten minutes later.

Viola changed her clothes and walked downstairs.

She wore a white T-shirt, light blue ripped jeans, and white sneakers, none of which were expensive brands.

However, they looked more dazzling on her than on any fashion show model.

She was brimming with youthful charm and was exceptionally beautiful.

Aunt Zhang hadn’t finished her shift yet, when she saw Viola, she smiled and said, “Miss, I just made some bird’s nest soup in the kitchen. I was just about to bring it to you.”

Her smile was very kind.

Ever since Viola returned to the Thompson family, Aunt Zhang had been very nice to her. Even when the rest of the servants were keeping their distance from Viola at the beginning, Aunt Zhang always carried herself well. She never crossed any lines, and never said a bad word about Viola behind her back.

Viola responded with her usual gentleness, “I’m going out for a bit, so I won’t be having the bird’s nest soup.”

She had promised Rachel to come over for dinner tonight, and naturally she couldn’t break her word,

“Okay,” Aunt Zhang said then continued, “Miss, please stay safe when you go out tonight.”

“Thank you, Aunt Zhang.” Viola smiled faintly, her eyes sliding over Aunt Zhang’s wrist.

She noticed.

There were bruise marks on Aunt Zhang’s wrist. Under normal circumstances, they would be hidden by her sleeve. But now she was holding a bowl of bird’s nest soup with her sleeve pulled up to her elbow. If you looked closely enough, you could see a glimpse.

It seemed the housekeeper was telling the truth.

There were indeed many stories about Aunt Zhang.

Viola didn’t say anything further and turned to walk out the door.

At six in the evening.

Although the sky was still bright, the sun was not as strong as before. The setting sun pierced through the clouds, casting a gauzy light on the earth.

Viola was about to scan for a shared bicycle by the road.

A voice rang out in the air.

“Viola.”

Viola turned to look.

There was a black Volkswagen parked by the road.

The car door was opened, and the driver was helping a man in a wheelchair out of the car.

The man sat in the wheelchair.

His lips slightly pursed.

Even though he was in a wheelchair, he didn’t give off any signs of fragility. On the contrary, he emanated an intimidating aura.

It sent chills down one’s spine.

“Lentz.”Viola Thompson walked over and naturally grasped his wrist.

All right.

The condition remains relatively stable.

“Don’t worry,” Terrence Lentz raised his eyes slightly, “after your treatment, I have gotten a lot better. This was supposed to be an incurable disease.”

His leg problem used to have 5 or 6 episodes per month.

But now, it only happens once or twice a month.

Compared to before, Terrence Lentz is quite satisfied.

Just at this moment,

a lavish car passed by them,

stirring up a cloud of dust.

Sylvia Thompson, sitting in the passenger’s seat, exclaimed in surprise: “It’s my elder sister.”

“Our little sister?” Edward Thompson knitted his brows slightly.

“Yes,” Sylvia continued, “It’s our elder sister.”

Upon saying this, Sylvia looked as if she had just remembered something, turned to Edward and said: “The man just now, sitting in the wheelchair, he looks like my sister’s fiancé. Speaking of, my sister is really dedicated. If it had been anyone else, they would probably not acknowledge this engagement. After all, this engagement has nothing to do with my sister.”

“But, while Terrence Lentz does have a bit of a bad reputation, he is quite handsome. Have you seen him, little brother? He’s even handsomer than the stars on TV! Should we stop and greet Terrence Lentz? After all, we will be relatives in the future.”

The words of Sylvia seemed like she was complimenting Viola, but in fact, she was subtly implying that Viola was shallow. To satisfy her own desires, Viola didn’t care about the family’s dignity at all.

This kind of person who has no sense of family honor, how is she fit to be the young lady of the Thompson Family?

And what the hell is Terrence Lentz?

A person known to all as a good-for-nothing, if we form a marriage alliance with such a person, it will only bring disgrace to the family.

More than that, the Thompsons are the first family of Capital City.

Relatives?

Who would want to become relatives with a good-for-nothing?

Hearing this, Edward Thompson furrowed his brow slightly.

That Viola, she’s really ignorant!

If it were Sylvia,

she definitely wouldn’t do such a thing.

All the sons of the Thompson family are business elites, who wants to have a good-for-nothing brother-in-law?

Especially, a public figure like Edward Thompson!

Edward Thompson continued, “It’s all because the family spoils her too much!”

If they keep indulging Viola like this, it’s going to lead to trouble sooner or later.

Sylvia smiled sweetly and said: “Brother, don’t say it like that. She has been deprived of parental love and the warmth of a family since childhood. Now that everyone is spoiling her a bit more, they should.”

Edward Thompson didn’t want to hear any of this.

The incident of Viola being lost was not the family’s fault, who in the Thompson family would want to see Viola get lost?

After she was lost, everyone in the family has been blaming themselves.

Viola can’t just do whatever she wants at home, just because she was lost.

This is Capital City!

It’s not their rural home, many people are observing the every move of the Thompson family, and waiting to see them make a fool of themselves!

Half an hour later,

Viola Thompson and Terrence Lentz arrived at the Fragrant Garden Community.

Dolores Frieman had prepared a big table full of sumptuous meals and ushered Viola Thompson and Terrence Lentz to sit down at the head of the table, “Miss Thompson, Mr. Lentz, please have a seat.”

Having the guests sit at the head of the dinner table is Dolores Frieman’s way of treating guests in her hometown. Only elders and distinguished guests are usually given this treatment.

To Dolores Frieman, Viola Thompson and Terrence Lentz were their saviors.

Delia Frieman was busy setting up the bowls and chopsticks, a big smile on her face.

She hadn’t laughed like this in a long time.

The two children were also bustling about.

The room was full of laughter and joy.

In these days, Dolores Frieman always felt like she was living in a dream, how could she have escaped from that hell on earth?

“Sister, where is Rachel?” asked Viola, looking at Dolores Frieman.

She hadn’t seen Rachel since she came in the door.

“She seems to be in the room.” replied Dolores Frieman.

At this moment, Rachel Barton came out of the bathroom, her face pale, “Viola, Mr. Lentz.”

“Rachel, are you okay?” asked Viola, frowning slightly, “Your complexion looks awful.?”

“I’m fine…” But before she could finish her sentence, Rachel felt a bout of nausea and ran back to the bathroom to throw up.
