Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

After all, Sylvia was his beloved little sister.

He couldn’t bear to see Sylvia being treated this way.

“Come on, Sylvia, try this one, it’s delicious.” Edward put some food into Sylvia’s bowl.

Sylvia looked at the food in her bowl, with no appetite at all.

As long as she thought that Viola could take away everything that belonged to her at any time, she felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart.

She hated Mrs. Thompson.

She hated Mary Perryne even more.

Mary Perryne was not worthy of being a mother.

If she had decided to adopt her, she should have loved her as her own daughter. What was this now?

Mary Perryne said she was going to treat her like her own daughter, but at the same time, she was anxiously looking for Viola.

What was the meaning of this?

Ridiculous!

Utterly ridiculous.

All these years, she had been filial to Sawyer Thompson and Mary Perryne as if they were her biological parents, and she studied hard to gain their approval.

But what had Sawyer Thompson and Mary Perryne done?

From beginning to end, they never treated her as their own daughter.

They were full of benevolence and morality on the surface, but they were extremely hypocritical.

Disgusting!

Edward stretched his hand under the table and quietly held Sylvia’s hand.

Sylvia looked back at Edward in surprise.

Edward smiled at her and whispered, “Sylvia, don’t worry. No matter what happens, you will always be my sister, my most beloved sister.”

He would always protect Sylvia.

“Thank you, brother.”

“Silly girl.” Edward pinched Sylvia’s hand.

Samuel Thompson, who was sitting nearby, noticed their interaction and frowned slightly.

No wonder Mrs. Thompson had always told Edward and Sylvia to keep their distance.

Both being adults, with no blood relationship, and even if they were siblings, they should know their limits.

After dinner.

Samuel found Edward.

“Borden.’

“What’s up?” Edward looked at Samuel.

“You…” Samuel looked at Edward, trying to find the right words in his mind, but he didn’t know how to start.

Seeing that Samuel didn’t speak, Edward continued, “Don’t talk about me, second brother, your taste in people really isn’t that great!”

“Me?” Samuel pointed to himself. Edward nodded, “Who else but you?”

“What’s wrong with me?” Samuel asked.

Edward had promised Sylvia to keep the secret, so he couldn’t disclose Sylvia’s words.

“l saw in your studio, the girl in the painting, is that Viola, right?”

“When did you see it?” asked Samuel.

Edward put his hand on Samuel’s shoulder, “Don’t worry about when I saw it, just answer me, is it her?”

“It’s her.” Samuel nodded.

“So, I said, you’re not good at judging people, how could you fall for her?” Edward said.

Hearing this, Samuel opened his eyes wide and explained, “You misunderstood, my feelings for Viola are not that kind of love.”

“There are types of love?” Edward laughed.

Apparently, Samuel was too embarrassed to admit it.

After saying that, Edward continued, “Viola is not as innocent and beautiful as you think she is. She approached you and mom with ulterior motives. If you really like her, 1 need to warn you to stop your losses as soon as possible.”

“You really misunderstood, I don’t have that kind of love for Viola,” Samuel said, “My feelings for her are the same as for Sylvia, the admiration of a brother for his sister, and not some messy emotions.”

At this point, Samuel said again, “Also, Viola didn’t deliberately approach me, we met by accident. Bob, you don’t know her well, you just met her today, so don’t jump to conclusions.”

Edward laughed out loud, “What era is it now, and you’re still pulling the brother-sister act with me? Also, if she’s not scheming, how come she’s unforgettable at first sight?”

If Samuel didn’t like Viola, why would he defend her?

“It’s not being unforgettable at first sight. I just think she’s very friendly. You know the National Little Sister, right? I think she’s even more friendly than the National Little Sister.’

There were two National Little Sisters in the entertainment industry.

One was child star Lucy Matthews.

The other was Sylvia Thompson.

However, Sylvia was called the National Little Sister because of her relationship with Edward, the film emperor.

“Alright, alright, second brother, don’t explain any more. I’m just reminding you not to be deceived by those with ulterior motives.”

Samuel had never interacted with girls before, so he might subconsciously think that all girls were as innocent and kind-hearted as Sylvia..
