Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot Chapter 1144

Chapter 1144: 304: Miss Song is here! _7 Chapter 1144: 304: Miss Song is here! _7 Viola Thompson continued, “Can you elaborate on what happened?”

Diana Hershey explained the whole situation to Viola.

Viola also thought the issue was quite important, then she said, “I'll go back tomorrow, just in time to attend your school lecture on Wednesday.”

“Mmm.”

Diana Hershey laughed and said, “Fiona and I will send you off to the airport tomorrow.”

“Alright.”

Soon enough.

It was Sunday.

Eleanor Armstrong's birthday.

Although the influence of the Lentz Clan was not as strong as it used to be, Eleanor Armstrong still being the matriarch of the Lentz family and the fact that many people wanted to see if Viola would attend Eleanor's birthday banquet made the event quite crowded.

Kayla Sullivan arrived early.

Dressed appropriately, holding Charlotte Young's hand, “Sister, how do you like my dress today?”

“Beautiful.” Charlotte Young said with a smile, “Kayla, you have fair skin and a good figure, you look pretty in everything. At the time, the third son will definitely be smitten by you.”

Upon hearing this, Kayla Sullivan bashfully replied, “Sister, you always love teasing me.”

“Sister is telling the truth.”

Charlotte Young, strolling along, introduced Kayla to her relatives from the Lentz Clan.

And Kayla acted every bit the future daughter-in-law of the Lentz Clan.

A moment later, Young Charlotte took Kayla Sullivan to the lounge, “Mother, look who's here.”

Eleanor Armstrong looked up and smiled, “Kayla!”

Kayla Sullivan said politely: “Auntie, I wish you a happy birthday, and may you stay young forever. This is a gift I prepared especially for you.”

A waiter from the hotel brought out the prepared jewelry.

Eleanor Armstrong naturally knew that the jewelry was very expensive, so she said, “Kayla, it already makes me happy that you could make it, and I really can't accept this gift.”

Although the relationship between the Lentz Clan and the Sullivan Clan was good, it wasn't so good that it warranted Kayla's expensive gift.

“Auntie, my mother always says that she has no sisters, she thinks of you as her own sister, and you should think of this as a gift from your niece,” Kayla added.

She's a niece now, and soon to be a daughter-in-law.

The person who should have shown up tonight didn't appear at the birthday banquet, it must not be a good feeling for Eleanor Armstrong, right?

But it's okay.

As long as she's there, she'll be a good daughter-in-law, a hundred times, a thousand times better than Viola Thompson.

Upon hearing this, Eleanor Armstrong could only accept the gift, thinking that she would return the favor with an additional gift on Mrs. Sullivan's birthday.

“Thank you, Kayla.”

“Auntie, you are too kind.”

Charlotte Young glanced at her mother-in-law, then said, “Mother, Miss Thompson hasn't come, has she? I said Miss Thompson is somewhat thoughtless, she doesn't show up on such an important day. If she doesn't want to be with our third son, just make it clear! What's the point of being so ambiguous?”

“I didn't inform Viola, how can you say that?” Eleanor Armstrong slightly frowned.

Upon hearing this, Kayla Sullivan squinted.

Unexpectedly, Eleanor Armstrong was protecting Viola Thompson.

Kayla Sullivan continued: “Maybe Miss Thompson is on her way, Sister, don't rush to judgment. I find Miss Thompson kind and talented, she definitely wouldn't do something that people would talk about.”

This is obviously an insinuation.

She deliberately said it to Eleanor Armstrong.

But surprisingly, Eleanor Armstrong thought Kayla Sullivan's words were very reasonable, she smiled and nodded, “Kayla is right!”

Kayla Sullivan was a little speechless.

It seems that Eleanor Armstrong would not give up until she was completely disappointed.

Then, she was curious to see if Viola Thompson would really show up!

Charlotte Young took Kayla Sullivan to the hall.

Inside the Hall, people were openly discussing:
“Do you think Miss Thompson will come tonight?”

“Are you kidding? Who is Miss Thompson? Now, even leaders of River City have to line up to meet her, how could she show up in such a place?”

“Maybe she doesn't even remember who Terrence Lentz is!”

Kayla Sullivan smirked.

She loved hearing these words.

She glanced around and didn't see Terrence Lentz.

He must be disappointed in Viola Thompson.

Soon, the birthday banquet began. People arrived and gave their gifts unabated. The housekeeper announced loudly the names of the people who entered the banquet.

“President Zacks arrives!”

“The head of the Cooper family, Mrs. Cooper arrives!”

Everyone who should have come had arrived, they all didn't see Viola Thompson.

Even more people in the banquet hall were discussing.

“Miss Thompson shouldn't be coming, right?”

“Why do you ask? How could Miss Thompson possibly be interested in a good-for-nothing like Terrence Lentz?”

“Exactly!”

“Seeing Eleanor Armstrong so confident, I thought Miss Thompson liked Terrence Lentz so much! I didn't expect all of it was boasting!”

“To think about it, anyone would know that Miss Thompson wouldn't come to this kind of birthday banquet.”

“Not to mention the Lentz family's banquet, I'm afraid even the Knight Family, the leader of the eight great aristocratic families, wouldn't be able to invite Miss Thompson, right?”

Listening to the discussion of the crowd, Eleanor Armstrong's face didn't look very good.

Kayla Sullivan was even more pleased, she walked to Eleanor Armstrong's side, took her wrist, and comforted softly, “Auntie, I believe Miss Thompson must have been delayed. Taking a step back, even if she doesn't come, it doesn't matter. Terrence is such a good person. Missing him is Miss Thompson's loss, but someone else with discerning eyes will….”

Just then, the housekeeper's voice rang out: “Miss Thompson has arrived!”

This utterance seemed to have hit the pause button in the air.

Upon hearing this, Kayla Sullivan's smile froze.

Everyone turned their heads to look.
