Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot - Chapter 593

Chapter 593: 203: Roll Away as Far as Possible (2nd Update)
He never imagined that things would turn out like this.

Before Viola Thompson returned, their parents never treated Sylvia Thompson this way.

Now Viola was back.

Did their parents still have a place in their hearts for Sylvia?

Mary Perryne looked at Edward Thompson, “What did you just say! Say it again!”

Edward repeated himself, “I said, if you insist on driving Sylvia away, then kick me out too!”

He was determined.

You’re not doing this for her good! You’re harming her!” Mary went on: “Have you ever considered the consequences if your second brother really marries Pag Gar?”

This was also the reason why Mary was determined to have Sylvia Thompson move out of the Thompson Clan for a while.

She wanted to give an explanation to Samuel Thompson and make Sylvia realize her mistakes.

“Have you ever considered that Sylvia is also a victim! She is too kind-hearted and ends up being used by Pag Gar! Ignorance is not a crime. As a mother, why do you always blame all the mistakes on Sylvia? Just because Viola is back? Just because she was lost as a child, so we have to indulge her in everything she does, right?”

Edward vented all his dissatisfaction in his heart.

As a big brother.

He simply couldn’t bear to see Sylvia be treated so unfairly.

His words made Mary’s heart ache.

Whether it was Viola or Edward, they were both her own children. As their mother, Mary hoped that the siblings could love each other.

As a big brother, Edward should stand in front of Viola and take on the responsibility of protecting his sister.

But Edward didn’t.

While feeling sad, Mary was also angry. She rarely lost her temper, but today, she couldn’t hold back any longer.

“Shut up! What does this have to do with Viola? Why do you always target her? Do you think you haven’t hurt her enough?”

Hearing this, Edward couldn’t help but sneer, “When have I ever targeted her? She’s our family’s treasure, would I dare to target her? Mom, since we’re putting everything out in the open now, let me be blunt. Think about what you’ve become since Viola returned. In the past, when Sylvia wanted to raise a French bulldog, what did you say? You said that dogs carry bacteria and didn’t let her keep one. But what about Viola? On the first day she entered the house, she brought home a cat. Not only did you not object to her raising a cat, but you also specially cleared out a room for her to keep the cat.”

When Edward recalled this incident, he felt aggrieved on Sylvia’s behalf.

As a brother, he found it very difficult to accept, let alone Sylvia, the one directly involved.

But Sylvia never blamed Viola.

Nor did she ever feel that her parents were biased.

“And that dog! It’s bad enough that she got a cat, but then she went and got a dog too! Isn’t she just trying to show off to Sylvia?” Edward continued, “Mom, I want to know, do you really consider Sylvia as your own daughter?”

Mary obviously knew that Sylvia also liked dogs, but she didn’t allow her to keep one. However, Viola deliberately brought home a cat and a dog.

Several times.

Edward wanted to kill those two animals directly.

But considering his parents, he didn’t do it.

“Have you ever thought that Mantou has always been with Viola and is like family to her? The time Mantou spent with Viola is probably even more than any of us! Are we supposed to ask her to get rid of her long-time pets on the first day after we acknowledge her? And bread, the stray dog Viola rescued, you’ve seen its condition! Can you bear to throw it out? Edward, as human beings, we should have a kind heart!”

With that, Mary paused for a moment, then continued, “Besides, I never opposed Sylvia keeping a dog. Back when she was only twelve years old, the doctor said her immune system was weak, and pets can easily carry bacteria, so it was suggested to consider keeping pets after becoming an adult! Didn’t I tell her that she could keep one when she grew up?”

But after reaching adulthood, Sylvia never mentioned it again.

Gradually, Mary also forgot about it.

What she didn’t expect was that Edward would bring up this old matter.

And even distorted the facts.

Edward sighed, “No matter what I say, you have your own reasons.”

Actually, Mary was very clear in her heart.

She treated Sylvia and Viola differently.

If not, Mary wouldn’t have treated Sylvia like this.

With those words, Edward continued, “Mom, I’m making it clear today, if you really want to kick Sylvia out of this family, you should kick me out too!”

After saying this, Edward turned around and walked away.

Mary grabbed Edward’s sleeve.

As a mother, she didn’t want Edward to impulsively leave home and do something regrettable.

“Edward!”

Edward knew his mother would try to stop him, so he turned back to look at her, “Mom, as long as you don’t kick Sylvia out, I won’t leave!”

“Let him go!” Sawyer Thompson came from the other side, “No one is allowed to stop him today!”

With that, Sawyer pointed to the door and said, “Get out! Get as far away from me as you can!”
