/ Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot Chapter 1301
Chapter 1301: 330: She is the absolute authority!_1 Chapter 1301: 330: She is the absolute authority!_1 Upon hearing this, an indescribable expression appears on Thompson's face.
Within the Thompson Clan, Lady Thompson has absolute authority.
Even if she is wrong in this case, she would never apologize.
Furthermore, in terms of standing, Viola Thompson is two generations below her.
Seeing that Thompson remains silent, Nathaniel Besian looks up at her and asks, “Thompson, is this question too difficult for you to answer?”
Thompson sighs softly.
“Divine Doctor, the truth is, there's a bit of a misunderstanding between Miss Thompson and my grandmother,” she says, downplaying the situation.
From Thompson's perspective, as a granddaughter, she can't openly criticize Lady Thompson.
Nor can she say that this was Viola Thompson's fault.
After all, this whole incident really had nothing to do with Viola Thompson.
“Could there be more to it than just a simple misunderstanding?” Nathaniel squints, “I know my master well. She would never be so angry if you hadn't infuriated her or crossed her boundaries.”
The phrase 'A prime minister's belly can take a boat-load of abuse' didn't come from nowhere.
Thompson sighs yet again.
She isn't even sure how to explain the situation to Nathaniel.
In fact, he rather admires Thompson.
First and foremost, she is very competent.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have joined the Marginine Organization at such a young age.
Although the hot-headedness of youth is apparent in her, no one is perfect. Not everyone can be like his master.
Nor can they all be as impeccable as Viola Thompson.
Thompson has some shortcomings, but that's completely normal. With a little more tempering over time, she could become a great asset.
However, Nathaniel never anticipated that the junior member he held in high esteem would actually offend Viola Thompson.
At that moment, it seemed as though Nathaniel remembered something. “Does your family have any tight connection with my master's family?” he asked.
“We share a common lineage,” came the reply.
Upon hearing this, Nathaniel squints and then says in sudden realization, “No wonder! No wonder! No wonder my master wanted to pay a visit to an elder relative on her trip to Ewik Land! This elder would be your grandmother, wouldn't she?”
“Yes,” Thompson confirmed with a nod.
Nathaniel continued, “So, because my master didn't reveal herself as Suwen, you just casually dismissed her like any poor relative?”
Thompson remained silent.
If it were only that, the issue might be slightly easier to resolve.
The more severe problem is that she misunderstood Viola to be that sort of person… which led Lady Thompson to give Viola an earful.
Seeing Thompson's reaction, Nathaniel squints, “Was there something even worse?”
“It's a long story!”
Dealing with such an issue, Thompson didn't feel comfortable explaining it.
Nathaniel continued, “You should persuade your grandmother to come here! Whether my master forgives you, and puts this behind her, I can't guarantee.”
Thompson looked at Nathaniel, “Divine Doctor, is there really no other way?”
Nathaniel shook his head.
Thompson carefully considered her words, “My grandmother is quite stubborn, very proud. She absolutely won't apologize first, she won't bow to Miss Thompson.”
Lady Thompson has a fiery temper and she has never apologized to anyone in her life.
When Old Master Thompson was alive, during one of their spats, as usual, Old Master Thompson admitted to his fault. But this time, since it was truly Lady Thompson's fault, Old Master Thompson wanted her to apologize for once.
But she did not.
After that incident, the two didn't talk for over a year, until Old Master Thompson passed away. He never heard an admission of fault from Lady Thompson.
Thompson is unsure if Lady Thompson has any regrets.
However, at least in public, Lady Thompson never showed any signs of regret.
Nathaniel is exasperated, “If she's done wrong and won't own up to her mistakes, do you expect my master to apologize on her behalf?”
“No, no, no, I didn't mean that!” Thompson hurriedly explained, “I was just saying that my grandmother is quite stubborn.”
Nathaniel continued, “My master already made herself clear. Waiting here would be a waste of time. You'd be better off going home to persuade your grandmother. Listening and taking advice saves trouble. No one can have everything go their way in life, there will be days when you need help from others!”
Having lived most of her life, Lady Thompson should understand this principle.
Upon completing his thought, Nathaniel turned and headed towards the elevator.
Watching Nathaniel's retreating figure, Thompson's face showed clear signs of distress.
Just at that moment,
Mori comes over.
“Vicki!”
“Mori,” Thompson greets with a smile.
