Chapter 10 - 10 010: What does she count as?



Her attitude further confirmed everyone’s suspicions.

If Viola could understand, she certainly wouldn’t be reacting like this now.

That’s right.

What could a country bumpkin understand anyway?

Elizabeth Thompson sat in her chair, listening to these words, the corners of her mouth lifting slightly.

A bumpkin will always be a bumpkin; even if they fall into a phoenix’s nest, they cannot be gilded.

Viola must be very envious of her now.

Not only is she the legitimate lady of the Thompson Clan, but she is also the class beauty, class pet, school beauty, and school pet.

Whether it’s classmates or school teachers, everyone revolves around her; her future is bright with unlimited possibilities.

In comparison,

what does Viola amount to?

There were a total of four classes in the afternoon.

The International School did not impose self-study time.

The school day ended at 4:30.

Before 4 o’clock, many luxury cars lined up at the entrance of the International School.

Elizabeth and a few close classmates chatted and giggled as they got into the car. After bidding farewell to each other, only Lydia Benedicte remained by Elizabeth’s side.

“Lydia, aren’t you going home?” Elizabeth asked Lydia with concern.

Lydia checked her phone, “Our driver couldn’t make it, my mom asked me to take a taxi home.”

Elizabeth looped her arm around Lydia’s, smiling, “Why take a taxi? We’re on the same way anyway. Just ride home with me.”

“But going to my house from yours takes a detour!” said Lydia.

Although both families lived in school district housing, the Legend Clan’s villa was slightly farther away.

“No worries,” Elizabeth said generously, “It’s just a detour, the time doesn’t matter. This way, we can chat on the road.”

“Alright, thank you, Elizabeth.”

Elizabeth was always beautiful and kind-hearted, never nitpicking over small matters; otherwise, Lydia wouldn’t have such a good relationship with her.

“Don’t mention it, we’re all classmates, after all.”

One after another, they got into the car.

The driver started the engine and drove off.

The car sped quickly, arriving at the Legend Clan’s residence in less than twenty minutes.

Lydia enthusiastically invited Elizabeth to stay for tea.

Elizabeth happily agreed.

“Mom, Elizabeth is here!” As soon as they entered, Lydia called out loudly.

“Oh, Elizabeth is here!” Hearing this, Lydia’s mother, Emily Stern, greeted them with a smile.

Elizabeth Thompson was a famous prodigy in River City, even appearing on television news. What parent wouldn’t like such an outstanding child?

“Hi, Auntie,” Elizabeth politely replied.

Emily eagerly said, “Please, come in and sit. Lydia, pour some tea for Elizabeth.”

Under normal circumstances, it would be the maids who pour tea. Emily asking Lydia to pour tea for Elizabeth was a sign of admiration.

“Alright.” Lydia nodded and immediately poured tea for Elizabeth.

A moment later, Emily personally brought over a plate of delicate snacks.

“Elizabeth, these snacks were just bought this afternoon; they’re very fresh. Eat more. You and Lydia are classmates, so don’t be shy; just treat this place like your own home.”

“Thank you, Auntie.” Elizabeth picked up a piece and tasted it.Elizabeth Thompson muttered her thanks, wearing a gentle smile on her face, but in her heart, she was disgusted.

Treat this place like your own home?

She couldn’t believe Emily Stern had the audacity to say such a shameless thing.

In fact, Elizabeth knew very well why Emily was being so nice to her.

It was all because of Lydia Benedicte’s brother, Snare.

Snare was twenty-three years old this year, already at the age of marriage, but still single. Yet Emily never considered whether the Legend Clan even had the right to daydream about her.

This was nothing more than a wild fantasy.

Emily truly was pitifully foolish.

Trying to eat swan meat when you’re nothing more than a toad.

Snare wasn’t even qualified to be a bodyguard by her side.

Although Elizabeth felt disgusted with Emily, she didn’t show it, and continued to happily chat with Lydia Benedicte. As they were chatting, she suddenly seemed to remember something and said to Lydia, “Lydia, I messed up!”

“What’s wrong?” Lydia asked concernedly.

“I forgot about my sister! It’s her first day of school today, and if she doesn’t see our car when she gets out of school, she’ll be worried to death!”

“It’s fine, Elizabeth. Your house is less than two kilometers away from the school. Walking back would only take at most ten minutes.” Lydia continued, “If she’s worried, she can just walk back.”

“But it’s her first day of school, what if she can’t find her way home?” Elizabeth frowned.

“She’s not an idiot. Even an idiot could find their way home on a less than two-kilometer route.” Standing at the International School, you could see the Thompson Clan’s villa. Viola Thompson was neither an idiot nor blind, so how could she not find her way home?

Elizabeth sighed, feeling very guilty, “If only I hadn’t forgotten about her, she wouldn’t have had to walk back! She already had a bad impression of me, and now she must be even angrier. It’s all my fault… ”

“Elizabeth, how is this your fault? So you just forgot to wait for her! It’s not a big deal!” Lydia continued, “I think you’ve done well enough! She’s not even blood-related to you! I’m more of a realist, if it were up to me, I wouldn’t even acknowledge her as my sister!”

A little village girl who couldn’t even show her face in public.

What use is she, other than being an embarrassment?

Elizabeth truly has a kind heart.

“Although she’s not blood-related to me, since my parents adopted her, she’s a member of our family, my real sister.” Elizabeth looked at Lydia, uneasy, “Lydia, what should I do if my sister gets angry?”

Lydia felt indignant on Elizabeth’s behalf and grew even more unhappy with Viola, “What is there to be angry about? It’s not a big deal; she can just walk back herself! She’s originally from the countryside anyway, can’t she even walk a little? Does she really think she’s that delicate?”

“But it’s still my fault!” Elizabeth stood up from the sofa, “Lydia, I won’t keep you, I need to go back and apologize to my sister so she won’t be mad.”

Lydia found Viola even more disgusting.

Just a village girl who no one wanted, yet she truly thought herself a princess!

And she even wanted Elizabeth to apologize to her—how shameless!

“Elizabeth!” Lydia grabbed Elizabeth’s hand, “Why are you spoiling her like this!”

A rural village girl who only pulled Elizabeth back.

Elizabeth smiled and said, “Because I am her sister.”

After saying this, Elizabeth turned around and left.

As she turned and left, out of Lydia’s sight, the corner of Elizabeth’s lips revealed an almost imperceptible smile.

With just a little scheming, Lydia’s hatred for Viola had reached a boiling point.

She had been too careless with Mr. Cooper’s matter.

It won’t happen again.

In this world, the most powerful means are invisible killings.

Tonight, not only did she teach Viola a lesson, but she also pulled tons of hatred towards Viola in front of Lydia.

It was a win-win.

In fact, Elizabeth was also paving the way for Viola’s engagement with Terrence Lentz in more than ten days.

The worse Viola’s reputation, the more justified their engagement would be.

A disreputable village girl paired with a good-for-nothing, a perfect match!

At this thought, the smile on the corner of Elizabeth’s lips became even more obvious.

Elizabeth hurriedly got into the car and said to the driver, “Mr. Friedman, quickly, let’s go back to school. I forgot to wait for my sister.”
