Translator: 549690339

Upon hearing Viola Thompson’s words, Rachel Barton was stunned.

She hadn’t had the chance to ask these questions yet.

Rachel Barton smiled and said while holding Viola’s arm, “We can ask those questions when we see them.”

After all, it was not much time before four in the afternoon.

Viola Thompson nodded slightly, “That works.”

Right now, seeing that Barton had just found her parents, Viola did not want to pour unexpected cold water on her.

After all.

She had not yet seen Rachel’s parents; no one knew whether they deliberately or unintentionally abandoned Rachel.

Rachel was very excited, and she asked, “Viola, do I look good in this outfit? Should I change into something else?”

Viola smiled and glanced at her, “No need, you look good in anything.”

“Really?” asked Rachel.

“Mhmm.” Viola nodded slightly.

At two in the afternoon.

Viola accompanied Rachel to the police station, and then they both rode a police car to the train station-

Inside the car, Rachel was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

She was excited and anticipatory.

She kept looking out of the window as though the 30-kilometer distance felt like 300 kilometers.

Viola glanced at Officer Blogger sitting next to them, followed by her question, “Officer Blogger, can you tell me how Rachel got lost from her parents?”

Officer Blogger smiled and said, “According to the situation reported from Olsand Village, Barton was kidnapped by a human trafficker when she was very young.”

“Uh-huh.” Viola nodded slightly.

Officer Blogger continued, “I heard that Barton now has two older sisters and a younger brother.”

“Her older sister, Dolores Frieman, is 32 years old, married, and has a child. Her sister Delia Frieman is 29 years old and is currently working in Giseda City. She has a younger brother named Ryan Diet, who is about a year younger than Barton and is already engaged.”

Viola remained composed, “They should have more than four children, right?”

“Young lady, how did you know?” Officer Blogger looked curiously at Viola.

He found that even though this young girl seemed to be just in her mid-teens, she bore no naivety that people her age typically possess. She gave a detached and cool aura.

She is pure.

However, when she gave a slight smile, she seemed incredibly approachable.

In short.

She didn’t seem like a teenage girl.

Viola continued, “Because the names of their children are based on numbers, they should have seven children following this logic.”

Officer Blogger nodded, “You are right. Gregory Diet and Beatrice Black indeed have seven children. But two of them died at a young age. Along with Barton, who was trafficked, they had seven children.”

Viola squinted slightly, “Were the two children who died also daughters?”

Officer Blogger nodded, “It seems so.”

Two consecutive deaths and a daughter trafficked, all daughters, seemed too coincidental.

Soon enough, the police car stopped in front of the train station.

There were ten minutes left before the train’s arrival.

Rachel glanced at her wristwatch, then looked inside the train station, “Viola, do you think the train will arrive early today?”

Viola smiled faintly, “Relax Rachel, the train will arrive in thirty minutes.”

“Okay.”

Although she had said not to worry, Rachel was earnestly looking forward.

Even if the train arrived a minute early, it would be great.

The waiting time always felt prolonged.

Finally.

With Rachel eagerly looking forward, the train arrived at the station.

People with luggage came out of the station.

Rachel swept her gaze over each passenger’s face.

Who were her biological parents?

At that moment, Officer Blogger waved, “Barton’s relatives are over here!”

Then, he looked at Rachel, “Barton, can you see over there? The couple in the black and red tops are your biological parents. Gregory Diet and Beatrice Black. The person with them is a colleague from your local police station!”

Rachel looked over, feeling slightly teary.

Her parents looked much older than she had imagined.

They seemed very humble.

This was her first impression of her parents.

Gregory Diet and Beatrice Black also spotted Rachel and Viola from afar.

They didn’t expect Rachel to be this beautiful; she put her pictures to shame by being a hundred times more beautiful.This beautiful daughter of theirs, not to mention a dowry of half a million, even a million dowry would probably be no problem at all.

Beatrice Black ran over quickly, “Babe! My Geraldine, Mom has finally found you!”

Gregory Diet also followed her over.

Incredibly, they had mistaken Viola Thompson for Rachel Barton.

After all, Viola was beautiful and striking, this way they could ask for more dowry money.

Viola subtly sidestepped, avoiding the embrace of Beatrice and Gregory, “Sorry, you’ve mistaken me for someone else.”

The first impression.

She didn’t quite like this couple.

It always felt like there was something more to them than they let on.

This simplicity was mixed with something else.

Officer Blogger laughed, “Comrades, here is your daughter!”

Hearing this, there was a moment of embarrassment for Gregory and Beatrice, as they turned their heads to look at Rachel.

She wasn’t as tall as Viola.

She didn’t have the same fair skin as she did either.

Most importantly, she was not as beautiful as Viola, though Rachel was fairly beautiful herself, standing next to Viola, she did look somewhat inferior.

Beatrice was a bit disappointed, but didn’t show it, instead she embraced Rachel, crying and sniffling.

“Geraldine! My Geraldine, Mom has finally found you!”

Gregory Diet also held Rachel tightly in his arms.

The three of them hugged, and this heartwarming scene even moved the accompanying policemen, bringing tears to their eyes.

Only Viola had an unchanging calm and reserved expression on her face.

A moment.

Beatrice and Gregory Diet finally let go of Rachel.

Beatrice held Rachel’s hand tightly, “Geraldine, your mom has been looking for you for nineteen years, thinking of you for nineteen years. Let’s go, I will take you home now!”

The first thing they had to do was take Rachel home.

Then they had to find a good match for her.

“Auntie,” at this time, Viola said casually, “Rachel has been living in River City for many years, and if she suddenly goes back with you, she will definitely feel uncomfortable. How about this, you both stay with Rachel in River City for a few days, and then slowly discuss about going back. After all, she’s about to take the College Entrance Examination.”

College Entrance Examination?

Hearing these words, Beatrice frowned. What’s the point of a girl taking the College Entrance Examination?

A waste of money!

But Beatrice didn’t show it, nodding her head and asked, “Okay. What do you think, Geraldine?”

After saying that, she looked towards Rachel.

Rachel’s eyes were red, “Mom, let’s do as Viola suggests, let me show you and dad around River City first, and then we can think about other things.”

Viola continued, “By the way, auntie, what was Rachel’s name at home?”

“She was called  ” Beatrice was stunned for a moment.

Since Rachel was abandoned the moment she was born, she was never given a name.

However, Gregory Diet reacted quickly and said, “Her name is Geraldine.”

Their eldest daughter’s name is Dolores, the second one is Delia. So, it was natural that Rachel, being the fifth child, was named Geraldine.

Viola noticed the subtle expressions on the couple’s faces and continued to ask, “Uncle and auntie, do you remember whether or not Rachel has any specific birthmarks?”

Regarding this question, Beatrice and Gregory Diet naturally did not know the answer.

Who would care if a burden like her had any birthmarks!

Beatrice held Rachel and started crying, “My poor Geraldine, mom is sorry. I shouldn’t have let you go   I lost you for so many years  ”

Gregory Diet also started wiping his tears.

Clearly.

These two were avoiding the topic.

Rachel’s place was small and couldn’t accommodate her parents, so she booked a hotel nearby and settled her parents down.

Viola was with her the whole time.

“Rachel,” having completed the check-in procedures, Viola pulled Rachel outside the door and whispered, “I have something to tell you.”

Rachel had a big smile on her face, “Go ahead, Viola.”

Although her parents did not seem to be wealthy, Rachel’s original intention to find her parents was not to become some kind of wealthy daughter, she just wanted parental affection.

So, she was extremely elated to have found her parents and to know that they did not purposely abandon her.

Viola’s soft voice began to speak, “Rachel, I think your parents are hiding something from you. You were likely to have been abandoned by them due to their preference for sons over daughters.”

Although the reality was harsh, Rachel needed to know the truth.

When Viola finished speaking, she continued, “Their total of seven children, where six are daughters. Two died prematurely while another was taken by human traffickers. Don’t you think the fact that the three children who experienced tragedies are all daughters is strange? Why is their son named Ryan?

“Plus, when I asked them what your name was at home and whether you had any birthmarks, they both hesitated before avoiding the topic. Do you think this is normal behavior from parents?”
