“If Viola Thompson were allowed to continue at North Bridge High School, it would certainly tarnish Elizabeth Thompson’s reputation.

Therefore,

Viola Thompson has to drop out!

Jessica Girma had never seen parents like this before, “Sorry! Both of you don’t really have the right to make Viola drop out.”

“We are Viola’s parents, if we don’t have this right then who does?” Olga angrily asked.

Jessica Girma continued, “Viola is already eighteen years old, no one can dictate her life for her.”

Reg Thompson looked at Jessica Girma, his eyes narrowed, “Miss Marseille, are you unwilling to give the Thompsons this bit of respect?”

His words carried an undertone of a threat.

The Thompson Clan is a prominent wealthy family in River City.

Any clear-headed individual wouldn’t offend them for the sake of a cheater from a small village.

Reg thought that after he finished speaking, Jessica would surely back down. However, to his surprise, Jessica made a ‘please’ gesture, “Mr. Thompson, Mrs. Thompson, the door is over there. Safe journeys!”

Reg Thompson’s eyebrows knitted together.

Just as Olga was about to say something, Reg spoke up, “Let’s go.” Arguing with a teacher was really beneath their wealthy status!

Olga followed Reg’s footsteps and did not say anything more.

Once they were outside and in the car, Olga vented, “Pah! What audacity! She’s just a measly teacher, and yet she thinks so highly of herself!”

As the wife of a wealthy family for so many years, everyone she encountered was always polite.

Who would have thought that she would run into such an insolent teacher today!

Reg Thompson, feeling a headache coming on, massaged his temples.

“Reg, what should we do now?”

Olga was unwilling to admit defeat before successfully getting Viola to drop out of school.

“The school won’t let her drop out, what can I do?” Reg was also exasperated.

Unless Viola herself requested to drop out.

But was that possible?

Olga angrily said: “That wild girl really makes me mad! Ever since she came to our home, she has caused so much trouble. I knew we shouldn’t have taken her back. We should have let her die of illness in the countryside!”

Offending Mr. Cooper, threatening them, and now using Elizabeth’s name to cheat others. Who knows what trouble she could cause in the future!

Other people’s daughters are obedient and sensible.

And Viola?

She only exists to cause harm.

She doesn’t have a hint of conscience!

“Why don’t we send her back to the countryside?” Olga suggested.

“Nonsense!” Reg Thompson snarled, “It’s easier said than done to just send her away! How would we explain this to the Lentz Clan? Break the engagement or let Elizabeth get engaged to that good-for-nothing?”

By breaking off the engagement directly, it wouldn’t only be the face of the Thompson Family that would be lost.

It would also be the face of Elizabeth Thompson.

Being the top lady in River City, Elizabeth cannot afford to bear the reputation of social climbing and a preference for richness.

Upon hearing this, Olga had nothing more to say.

Reg Thompson continued: “Put this matter aside for now. The engagement is in two days, let’s avoid any additional complications!”

“Understood.” Olga nodded in agreement.

Reg Thompson thought for a moment before instructing, “Tonight, the Patriarch Lentz will come over to discuss the engagement. Don’t let him sense anything amiss.”

At this stage, the last thing they needed was for the Patriarch Lentz to know about their plans.

If the Patriarch Lentz heard about this now, he would certainly refuse to hold an engagement banquet.

If the announcement was made at the engagement party though, it would be a different story.

That night after school, Viola went to the Bennett Clan to give Edith Bennett an acupuncture treatment.

She originally planned to ride a bicycle, but the weather was not cooperating. As soon as she stepped out of the house, it started raining. With no other choice, Viola had to take a bus.

After getting off the bus, she had to walk quite a distance to reach the Bennett Clan’s house.

Viola held the umbrella with one hand, walking amidst the rain curtain, her presence was a beautiful scene against the sweltering summer heat.

The pedestrians along the way cast sidelong glances at her.

Up ahead was a pedestrian crosswalk where a crowd had gathered.

When Viola arrived, she saw an elderly white-haired woman who had fallen at an intersection and was unable to get up.The onlookers were whispering among themselves, judging from their reactions, the fall must have been severe.

In such a situation, immediate aid should be provided.

Yet everyone was afraid the old woman was trying to scam them, and thus no one dared to help.

Viola Thompson placed her umbrella on the ground, just as she was about to help, a bystander warned, “Young lady, don’t get yourself implicated!”

“Yes, yes, it’s hard to be a good Samaritan these days.”

Viola Thompson looked up slightly, “No problem, I believe this elderly person isn’t that kind of person. Besides, there’s a surveillance camera at the intersection. ”

“Young lady, you’re unheeding! Even if she ensnares you, you’ll regret it. Some elders can be very cunning. Surveillance cameras don’t mean anything! The aftermath would make you sob!”

Viola Thompson squatted down next to the old woman, “How are you feeling?

Though the old woman was laid out on the ground, she was fully conscious,

“My left arm hurts, I can’t use it.”bender

“Anywhere else?”

“I feel a bit dizzy.”

Viola Thompson reached over and checked the old woman’s pulse. After making sure there were no additional injuries, she helped the old woman up.

“Your left arm is dislocated. I’ll reset it for you. It may hurt a little, please bear with it.” Viola Thompson said, holding the old woman’s left arm.

“Okay.”

Seeing Viola Thompson dare to reset the old woman’s arm, the surrounding crowd started debating even more.

She looks barely 16 or 17 years old.

Does she know how to reset bones?

What if she ends up damaging it further?

If anything happens to the old woman because of this, even if one went bankrupt, they wouldn’t be able to afford the compensation.

Young people are so impulsive.

Viola Thompson, as if she had heard nothing, gently pushed on the old woman’s arm with both hands.

Crack!

The old woman had barely reacted before Viola Thompson had finished.

“Try moving it, does it still hurt?” Viola Thompson asked.

The old woman stood up, moved her arm around, and laughed, “It doesn’t hurt anymore! It’s better! Thank you, young lady!”

The onlookers were stunned.

No one had expected that Viola Thompson could actually do it! “Young lady, thank you!” The old woman kept thanking her.

“It was the least I could do.” Viola Thompson replied.

The old woman looked at Viola affectionately. Such a beautiful and skilled young lady. If she were her granddaughter, she might even laugh in her dreams.

“Young lady, do you have a boyfriend?” The old woman grabbed Viola’s hand. “If you don’t have a boyfriend, I have a great-grandson… Forget it! He’s not worthy!”

Some of the onlookers burst into laughter.

The old lady is quite interesting.

Ordinarily, who would belittle their own great-grandson.

Viola took out her phone, “Do you remember your family’s phone number? I can call them for you.”

The old woman recited a string of numbers.

Viola dialed the number and explained the situation.

After she hung up the phone, Viola said, “Your family will be here soon. I have to leave for an appointment.”

“Okay.” The old woman nodded.

“You take care.”

As she watched the departing figure of Viola, the old woman suddenly seemed to have thought of something and called out, “Young lady, what’s your name?” “Viola Thompson.” Viola looked back lightly.

“Viola Thompson,” the old woman repeated, laughing, “A name that indeed reflects you, beautiful as a painting.”

A few minutes later.

A luxury car pulled up in front of the old woman.

Two young people rushed out from the car, supporting the old woman from both sides, anxiously asking her, “Grandma, why did you come out alone? Are you okay?”

“I’m fine, I’m fine.” The old woman waved her hand, “I met a good Samaritan today. I must repay her.”

The onlookers, seeing the old woman picked up by a top-tier luxury car, regretted not lending a hand to her earlier.

Had they done so, they would have been the good Samaritans!
