“Where’s Viola Thompson? I’m looking for her.”
With a troubled expression, Sylvia Thompson grabbed Edward Thompson’s arm, “Little brother, did you… Did you see the Facebook post?”
Edward sighed, “She’s really such a disappointment!”
“Calm down, little brother, there might be a misunderstanding,” Sylvia said consolingly. “I believe in my sister’s character. She might be at the hospital for a good reason!”
“A good reason to be in the gynecology department?” Edward couldn’t help laughing with frustration.
She shouldn’t be there even if she was at the hospital for medical reasons.
It wasn’t hard to guess that Viola was at the hospital to have an abortion.
Pregnant before marriage.
The Thompson Clan couldn’t bear such disgrace!
Edward had always known that Viola would cause trouble, but he never expected her to do something that would bring such shame to their family.
“Little brother, sit down first and have a glass of water.” Sylvia tried to pour a glass of water for Edward. “Calm down a bit, if there is really a misunderstanding, it may be harder to resolve if we are all worked up.”
Edward had a sip of water, but his anger didn’t subside.
At that moment, Sawyer Thompson and Mandel Thompson, father and son, walked in from outside, talking about work.
They were discussing some technical terms that outsiders wouldn’t understand.
“Dad, Big Brother! What are you two doing chatting about work at a time !” Edward couldn’t take it any longer and stood up from the sofa.
Mandel furrowed his brow and looked at Edward, “What’s the matter now?”
“Haven’t you seen the post on Facebook?”
Hearing this, Mandel took out his phone with a puzzled look on his face.
Sawyer looked at Edward, “What happened? Speak up straight and don’t keep us hanging.”
Since he belonged to a different generation, Sawyer didn’t use Facebook, and the company’s official account was always managed by the PR department.
Even if he had Facebook on his phone, he wouldn’t know how to check it in a short amount of time.
Edward rubbed his temples, “Let Big Brother tell you, I don’t have the face to say it.”
Not only did Edward not have the face to say it, but he would also be too ashamed to face anyone in the future as well.
After Mandel finished reading the Facebook post, his expression turned ugly, “Rubbish! Viola is definitely not that kind of person!”
Whoever posted this on Facebook was truly malicious!
They were quoting out of context.
“Mandel, what happened?” Sawyer asked worriedly, “Did something happen to Viola?”
In order to prevent his father from worrying, Mandel said, “Dad, you don’t need to worry. I will handle this matter.”
From Mandel’s perspective, this matter was nothing but a piece of fiction.
Since it was fictitious, there was no need for Sawyer to know about it. Mandel would handle it well on his own.
Seeing this, Edward was speechless. At this critical moment, Mandel was still shielding Viola.
If their roles were reversed, and it was Sylvia who was involved in all this drama, would Mandel still believe in her?
Because they had never really treated Sylvia like their biological sister.
That was also why Edward was so kind to Sylvia.
Everyone in the family favored Viola, and if Edward were to also treat Viola well, it would be too unfair to Sylvia.
“Big Brother, how can you still defend her at a time ?” Edward was at a loss for words as he turned to Sawyer. “Dad, Viola got pregnant and went to the hospital to have an abortion. Someone took pictures, and now everyone knows!”
The truth has to be known by Sawyer!
He needs to know what kind of person his own daughter really is.
“What?!” Sawyer was completely dumbfounded.
“Dad, don’t listen to his nonsense,” Mandel then glared at Edward angrily. “She’s your sister! How could you just say this?!”
As a brother, Edward didn’t even try to protect Viola – instead, he threw mud at her.
Edward continued, “Big Brother, do you think I want to believe this is true? She’s my sister too! And now that something has happened, do you think I still have the face to face others?”
“There’s no way that’s true! There must be a misunderstanding!” Sawyer pointed at Edward, “You shut your mouth!”
As a father, Sawyer understood his daughter very well.
He knew that Viola would never do anything so disgraceful.
“Dad, it’s all over Facebook! See it for yourself!” Edward passed his phone to Sawyer. “I told you long ago that we shouldn’t spoil her so much, but you and Mom didn’t listen! Now she’s pregnant out of wedlock, and who knows how many outsiders are laughing at us!”
“Did you ever investigate what kind of person Terrence Lentz is? From the very beginning, you should have stopped their relationship from developing. But did you? Not only did you not stop it, but you actually sided with her!”
