Chapter 488: 173: Rachel Barton’s Desperation, Viola Takes Action!_4
She was no stranger to this black card.
It was a black card from Lanswi Bank.
Lanswi Bank is one of the top ten banks in the world, and there is only one requirement to apply for a black card.
That is, the user must have three thousand billion dollars in funds.
What Mary Perryne gave Viola Thompson was not a bank card, but a huge amount of money.
An amount so large that ordinary people could never imagine in their lifetime.
Thinking of her own measly monthly allowance of 1 million dollars, Sylvia Thompson’s mouth was full of scorn.
Usually, a limited-edition bag that she fancied would easily cost eight to nine hundred thousand dollars.
How could 1 million allowance be enough!
But whenever she mentioned that her allowance was insufficient, Sawyer Thompson would bring up the importance of frugality and household management.
He would say they must be frugal,
And not to trigger a competitive mentality.
As a child of the Thompson Clan, they should set a good example.
When it came to Viola, just for a trip, Mary Perryne directly pulled out a black card worth three thousand billion dollars.
This sudden shock rendered Sylvia Thompson somewhat breathless.
And once again, she felt her parents’ bias.
Viola Thompson politely refused, laughing, “Mom, I have enough money.”
“How could it be enough?” Mary Perryne frowned, “Ever since you came back home, you’ve never asked for a penny from us. You must take this card.”
At this moment, Sawyer Thompson slightly turned his head, looking at the faces of his other four children, “Brandon, Borden, Bob, Sylvia. This money has been saved for your little sister since the day she was born. Your mother and I owe Viola so much over these eighteen years. We have never fulfilled our responsibilities as parents. Viola’s experience is different from yours. She has suffered a lot, endured countless injustices, and no amount of money can make up for this. Your mother and I can only do our best. So don’t feel that we are biased.”
“You are all our children, and we will treat you equally.”
Mandel Thompson nodded, “Dad, we understand your intentions. Please rest assured that Borden, Bob, Sylvia, and I will never hold any grudges against our little sister over this.”
The career that Mandel Thompson possessed was earned through his own efforts.
He had never thought of taking anything from his parents!
Only useless people would think of inheriting property.
Hearing this, Sylvia Thompson quickly expressed her agreement with a smile, “Big brother is right. How could we ever hold anything against our little sister? She deserves all of this.”
Samuel Thompson nodded in agreement.
But Edward Thompson couldn’t help feeling that this was too unfair for Sylvia.
After all, both were their parents’ daughters.
Their parents gave Viola a black card.
What did they give Sylvia?
Apart from the fixed one million monthly allowance, they hadn’t given Sylvia anything.
Edward Thompson felt a choking sensation in his heart.
He could not understand why their parents could not treat Sylvia as their daughter just like him.
However, although Edward Thompson had objections, he did not voice them.
He hoped that Viola would speak up for Sylvia.
Under these circumstances, only Viola could fight for some benefits for Sylvia.
Viola continued to refuse, “Dad, Mom, I really don’t need money. You keep these. If I ever run out of money, I’ll come and ask for it.”
From beginning to end, she never mentioned Sylvia.
Even the things she didn’t want, she would not give to Sylvia.
Edward Thompson was very disappointed.
It seemed that Viola had never considered Sylvia as a real sister.
As an older brother, Edward Thompson’s greatest wish was for the family to live happily and peacefully together. But ever since Viola returned, Sylvia had been marginalized.
This was something Edward Thompson, a doting brother, could hardly tolerate.
Both were his sisters. As the older sister, couldn’t Viola be a little more considerate of Sylvia?
Seeing Viola’s persistent refusal, Sawyer Thompson directly stuffed the black card into her hand, “This bank account was opened with your ID card, and the password is written on the back. How you spend this money is your right. If you want to throw it into the trash, that’s fine. But what’s given to you is yours, and your mother and I will not take it back.”
At this moment, Mrs. Thompson also smiled and said, “Viola, since it’s meant for you, just accept it. We’re all family. If you keep refusing, it seems distant.”
