Chapter 1293: 328: Meticulously Putting Scum in Their Place, She is Suwen!_5 Chapter 1293: 328: Meticulously Putting Scum in Their Place, She is Suwen!_5 Though Mori's father held only the role of a manager, he nonetheless had a significant position in Ewik Land.
And Mori herself lived up to the title of a young lady.
If not, Thompson wouldn't have become friends with her.
“It's her,” Thompson nodded.
Ava Kamani laughed and said, “I remember Mori should be about the same age as you, right?”
“Yes, she and I are of the same age.”
Upon hearing this, Ava Kamani squinted her eyes and smiled, “Vicki, invite Mori over when you have time! You don't come home often, and it just so happens that she knows your eldest brother. They probably haven't seen each other in years.”
Zoe Fedener off to the side coyly lifted the corner of her lip.
Looking at Ava Kamani's intention, it seemed she was aiming for Mori.
However…
Would Mori be interested in Caleb Thompson?
After all, in terms of looks and aura, Caleb Thompson falls short when compared to Elijah Thompson.
Upon this thought, Zoe Fedener immediately chimed in, “Yes, Vicki, listen to your aunt. Please invite your girlfriends over when you have time. Not only is it more lively with more people, but also, your two cousins are still single! Let's see if you can play matchmaker.”
Ava Kamani subtly furrowed her brows, listening to the intent behind Zoe Fedener's suggestion, was she trying to compete with her?
Zoe Fedener was surely over-estimating Elijah Thompson!
Elijah Thompson always lived in Caleb Thompson's shadow during his education, and once he graduated, he still couldn't surpass Caleb.
The legitimate eldest grandson will always be the legitimate eldest grandson.
The underhanded machinations of the two aunts were clear to Thompson. She laughed and said, “Sure, as long as you both don't complain about the house being too noisy, it just so happens that I have many single friends.”
Those who could be considered friends with Thompson were all of high social standing.
Hearing this, Zoe Fedener's eyes quickly darted around, and she immediately seized the momentum, “Vicki, what are you talking about? If you can invite these young ladies over as guests, your aunt and I will be overjoyed – how could we ever complain about the noise! Just yesterday, I was talking with your aunt about when your elder and second brothers can present your grandmother with a great-grandchild.”
Ava Kamani nodded in agreement.
Although these two sisters-in-law always had overt and covert struggles, they were consistent in their broader view.
In the end, Zoe Fedener sighed, “After all, we're family; we don't let water poured from our field flow into others. Vicki, we're counting on you for your elder and second brother's affairs. I'll go back and choose a good day with your aunt, and then you can invite all your girlfriends over.”
“Alright.”
Thompson didn't feel threatened by either Caleb or Elijah Thompson due to her own status and position.
These two were leisurely, lacking leadership skills. Even if they married a hero, they'd still be good-for-nothing.
In the future, the Thompson Clan would still be hers.
From the beginning, Thompson never considered the two as competitors.
Because they were far from qualified.
As she finished speaking, Thompson continued, “Aunt, second aunt, I'm going in now. I brought grandma some pastries, if I dally any longer, they'll get cold.”
“Go ahead,” Zoe Fedener laughed, “This child has always been so dutiful and gentle, she's still the same when she's grown-up.”
Thompson turned and entered the house.
Hearing footsteps, Mrs. Thompson frowned slightly, saying displeased, “Didn't I say, not to bother me?”
“Grandma, it's me,” Thompson's voice was very gentle, “Who upset you again?”
As Lady Thompson turned her head and saw her beloved granddaughter, her face immediately lit up with a smile, “Vicki's here! Didn't they say you'd gone out?”
“I did step out for a bit. And in fact, I brought you these limited-edition pastries from LY for you to try.”
After saying this, Thompson took out a well-packed pastry.
Lady Thompson tasted the pastry she'd handed over, and asked curiously, “You went to LY?”
“Mhm.” Thompson nodded.
Lady Thompson continued, “I remember your close friend, that girl surnamed Mori?”
When they were young, Thompson and Mori were very close friends.
Even though Lady Thompson was old and many things had become vague, she never forgot anything about her beloved granddaughter.
“Yes.” Thompson poured a glass of water for Lady Thompson, “I went to LY to find Mori today, and I also had another matter to deal with.”
“What's the matter?” Lady Thompson asked.
Thompson continued, “Actually, there's one thing I've never told you.”
Seeing her serious expression, Lady Thompson immediately put down the pastry in her hand and looked at Thompson, “Vicki, what's the matter? Tell your grandma quickly!”
Could someone have bullied Thompson?
