Chapter 489: 173: Rachel Barton’s Desperation, Huali Takes Action!_5
Having said that, Viola Thompson had no choice but to accept it, “Thank you, Mom and Dad.”

“Silly child.”

Sylvia Thompson was so angry that she was about to explode.

But, she couldn’t vent her anger.

Who could blame her for not being their biological daughter?

After the family meeting ended, Edward Thompson found Mandel Thompson, “Big brother, don’t you think this is unfair to Sylvia?”

Mandel Thompson frowned slightly, “What’s unfair about it?”

Edward couldn’t hold back his anger, “I admit that our little sister is excellent, but mom and dad shouldn’t just give her Lanswi Bank’s black card! Even if they want to give, they shouldn’t forget Sylvia. Big brother, don’t you think what I’m saying makes sense?”

“Bullshit!” Mandel Thompson scolded angrily, “The reason mom and dad gave the money to little sister is that they feel they neglected her and want to compensate her! You know how much she has suffered before in River City! Has Sylvia ever suffered a day? And, go ask around the school, which college student has 1 million dollars as pocket money every month?”

At this point, Mandel Thompson tried to calm himself down, and grabbed Edward by the collar, “Tell me honestly, are your feelings towards Sylvia beyond the limit?”

It was not strange for Mandel to suspect, as Edward’s care for Sylvia was indeed very suspicious.

“No,” Edward explained seriously, “Sylvia has always been like a real sister in my heart. It’s because I treat her like a real sister that I stand up for her! I just think it’s unfair to Sylvia!”

If he had any special thoughts about Sylvia, he wouldn’t have tried to match her up with Mr. White either.

Most importantly,

Edward had someone he liked.

Although it may be difficult for Evelyn Andrews to be accepted by the Thompson family,

Edward had prepared himself to fight a protracted battle.

Evelyn Andrews is a person with personality, who smokes, drinks, and knows how to have fun.

There were even rumors that she had two boyfriends at the same time.

“That’s good,” Mandel continued, “No matter what your relationship is, you should know the boundaries of your concern. Don’t cross the line.”

“I know, I can control myself.”

Edward wasn’t an immoral person. It’s just that he cared too much for his sister, Sylvia.

He was eight years older than Sylvia.

When he was young, he often led her around.

He even swore to protect her well,

Not letting her get hurt in any way.

Now, in Edward’s subconscious, he still only had Sylvia as his sister.

Viola, to him, seemed more like a producer.

Because there wasn’t much of a solid emotional foundation between them.

Edward couldn’t even understand why Mandel and him accepted Viola so quickly.

Didn’t they find it strange?

Mandel went on, “As for the black card matter, mom and dad are not wrong. Sylvia had no blood relationship with them in the first place. The reason why she was adopted back then was because of little sister. If it weren’t for little sister’s accident, mom and dad wouldn’t have adopted someone else’s child. Think about it carefully, if she were adopted by a ordinary family, would she live the life she has now?”

Making one million a year is already unattainable for ordinary people.

Let alone having one million dollars as pocket money every month!

“So,” Mandel continued, “What Sylvia should be thinking about now is not whether mom and dad are showing favoritism, but that she should be grateful. Grateful for being adopted by mom and dad, and grateful for little sister’s existence. Otherwise, maybe she would still be working hard to earn her tuition and living expenses every year!”

As the eldest son of the family,

Mandel Thompson had a part-time job since he was thirteen.

He thought it was already very difficult for someone his age to work and earn money, but there were still many younger ones.

Life is full of suffering.

Since then, Mandel cherished the life he had, became determined to improve himself, studied harder, and tried every possible way to enhance himself.

In high school, he suddenly fell in love with programming, and then turned his hobby into a career. By the time he was in college, he never asked his family for a penny.

Before graduating from college, he already had his own company.

Later,

His assets even surpassed those of the top ten bosses in Capital City.

Having said that, Edward continued, “Bob, as your big brother, I hope that you travel more and see the world. Then you’ll understand what I mean.”

These words silenced Edward completely.
