Chapter 541: 188: Slapped in the Face, Drunken Xuanxuan (Part 1, Updated)_2
With that statement, all the mistakes were pinned on Viola Thompson.

Edward Thompson originally had numerous misunderstandings about Viola. Hearing this, he felt even more furious, “Because she has never treated me as a brother.”

Edward’s voice was very cold.

If Viola had treated him as a brother, things wouldn’t have become like this.

Just as Sylvia said, Viola is now the apple of their parents’ eyes. As long as Viola spoke a few good words for him in front of their parents, they would make a big deal out of nothing, and trivialize the smallest matter.

But Viola did not.

She never thought to speak up for him in front of their parents.

“Bro, don’t think like that, I was just casually talking. After all, everyone handles problems differently, and what I do can’t represent sister.”

The more understanding Sylvia appeared, the more Edward despised Viola.

On the other side.

River City.

Today Viola had a reunion with her classmates from Class Six.

This was their last gathering before they went off to university after grade twelve.

The next reunion wouldn’t get so many attendees.

The venue was chosen by the class monitor.

It was at a hot pot restaurant.

At this time, nearly everyone had gathered in the hot pot restaurant.

There were fifty people in Class Six in total.

Two tables were set up in the private room.

The seats were almost filled up.

Each person’s seat was equipped with a mini hot pot.

It’s clean, sanitary, and no need to worry about undercooking.

Class monitor Chester stood at the front, “Has everyone in our class arrived?”

Diana replied, “Beautiful Thompson hasn’t come yet.”

Chester asked, “Are we only missing Beautiful Thompson?”

“It seems so.”

Chester said with a smile, “Let’s take a count then.”

Forty-nine people had attended in total.

Chester continued, “Then, let’s wait for Beautiful Thompson to arrive before serving the dishes.”

“Sure, let’s chat for now, we won’t get many chances like this in the future.”

“Right, right.”

“She won’t not turn up, would she?”

“After all, she’s now the top scorer with full marks, a future Capital University student. How could she dine with us commoners?”

“We’re just not on her level anymore.”

Hearing these off-color comments, Diana furrowed her eyebrows slightly, and added, “The reunion is scheduled for three in the afternoon, and it’s still half an hour away from three! What are some of you mumbling about?”

Viola has always been punctual.

Diana believes she won’t be late.

“Do people not allowed to talk about someone being late?”

“Is she late?” Diana turned her head and looked at the girl who had spoken, “Is it three o’clock now?”

The girl didn’t seem angry but smiled at Diana, “Diana, do you dare to bet with me?”

“Lucy, you say! How to bet?”

Lucy had always been a top student. Before Viola transferred to North Bridge, Lucy was the most outstanding student in the school.

Ever since Viola arrived, her limelight was completely overshadowed by Viola.

She thought she could outshine others in the College Entrance Examination.

To her surprise, Viola ended up receiving full marks.

Six number ones.

And hence, becoming a once-in-a-decade genius.

Lucy had never been so overshadowed. The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable it was.

Before Lucy could speak, Diana casually picked up a lemon from the table, “This is it, the loser eats this whole lemon!”

“Sure.” Lucy nodded.

The others in the private room started to chorus.

Diana looked at Lucy, “Whoever refuses to eat is a dog!”

Lucy nodded, “Of course.”

After all, she won’t lose.

With time ticking by.

It was almost three o’clock.

Lucy looked at Diana with a smile, “Diana, you lost.”

“There’s still ten minutes left!”

On hearing this, a mocking expression appeared in Lucy’s eyes.

If Viola were to come, she would have arrived earlier, and would not have waited until now.

Just then, a knock rang on the door of the private room.

The door was then pushed open.

A figure wearing a white t-shirt walked in from outside.

Everyone attending today was well-dressed.

Except for her.

Plain face.

However, it was this plain-looking face that was heart-stirring.

Everyone’s attention was drawn to her.

Even though it was not their first time seeing Viola, the students of Class Six were still amazed every time they saw her.

The feeling was very strange.

Seeing the newcomer, Diana immediately reached out and greeted, “Beautiful Thompson, come over here!”

She and Fiona had saved a seat especially for Viola.
