“Go ahead.”

Edward Thompson walked toward the bathroom.

At that moment, Sylvia Thompson stood at the entrance of the garden and waved to him, “Brother, come here.”

Edward went over, “What’s up, Sylvia?”

Sylvia smiled and said, “Bro, you’re quite smart. How did you know I’d come out here with you?”

“Do I look like an idiot to you?” Edward patted Sylvia’s head.

Sylvia peeked inside, “Did you see it?”

“See what?” Edward was curious.

Sylvia continued, “Viola, of course! Don’t you think she looks very familiar?” “Really?” Edward asked.

Seeing Edward’s reaction, Sylvia subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and continued, “Didn’t I tell you yesterday that Borden has someone he likes?”

“What do you mean?” Edward slightly frowned, “You’re not telling me that Viola is the one Borden likes, are you?”

“Yeah.” Sylvia nodded, “So, brother, be nice to Viola. Maybe she’ll become our sister-in-law.”

Sister-in-law?

Edward was very resistant to the idea.

His impression of Viola had started to gradually decline, and after hearing Sylvia’s words, he had no good feelings towards her at all.

It seemed that Viola was definitely not as simple as she appeared.

Everything she did was probably aimed at Borden.

After all, no one could fall in love with someone after only meeting them once.

It was clear that she had used some sort of means.

Seeing Edward silent, Sylvia nudged him, “Brother, did you hear me?”

Edward slightly frowned, then said, “Sylvia, try to stay away from Viola in the future?”

Having achieved her goal, Sylvia felt extremely delighted but put on a surprised face, “Huh? Why?”

Sylvia was too innocent!

She was so innocent that she couldn’t even realize when someone was using her.

Edward continued, “She’s deliberately getting close to you and mom.”

The Thompson Clan was wealthy and powerful, and Borden was a famous painter. For someone like Viola, who came from a humble background, marrying Borden would be like turning into a phoenix.

Edward, being in the entertainment circle, had seen all kinds of people and tactics.

He had encountered countless materialistic women like Viola.

His eyes had long been sharpened.

“Brother, you’re misunderstanding Viola,” Sylvia continued, “Viola is not that kind of person, and besides, she’s naturally beautiful. It’s normal for Borden to like her. Even I really like her! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have given her my study materials! It’s just a pity that Viola didn’t want them, and her grades must be better than mine.”

Edward saw Sylvia through rose-tinted glasses, and didn’t think there was anything wrong with what she said, only believing it was all Viola’s fault.

Viola shouldn’t have rejected Sylvia’s kindness.

“She’s already in her senior year, and still wandering outside. How good can her grades be?” Edward’s tone was filled with disdain. “People like her can only rely on marriage to change their fate.”

A lot of girls think like that.

That’s why some gold diggers even want to marry someone much older than themselves.

It was clear that Viola belonged to this category.

“Brother, why do you have such a huge hostility towards Viola?” Sylvia frowned unhappily.

“My silly sister,” seeing Sylvia like this, Edward couldn’t help feeling helpless, “When you get sold by someone, you’ll still be counting their money for them!” How could Sylvia outwit someone like Viola?

To prevent Sylvia from being hurt, she needed to see Viola’s true colors as soon as possible.

Sylvia smiled, “Brother, have you been acting in too many dramas? There aren’t that many scheming women in real life.”

The more innocent Sylvia was, the more worried Edward became.

Seeing Sylvia like this, Edward couldn’t help but sigh.

He only wished Sylvia had an extra sense of caution.

Edward continued, “Do you know what Viola’s reaction was when she saw me just now?”

“Was she really excited?” Sylvia knew very well what Viola’s expression was when she saw Edward, but she deliberately said the opposite.

Excited?

Thinking of Viola’s reaction, Edward’s face was filled with a mocking expression, “She acted like she didn’t know me at all..”
