Sylvia squinted her eyes, feeling extremely pleased, and then said, “Mom, I’ll go upstairs to call my sister.”

“Go ahead.” Mary Perryne nodded.

Sylvia immediately went upstairs to call Viola Thompson.

Soon after

Bryant and Cynthia Wilkins also walked in.

As soon as they entered, Cynthia said, “Happy New Year, Mary.”

“Happy New Year”, Mary stood up and smiled, “Cynthia, Bryant, take a seat. We’re all family, so I won’t be too polite. Aunt Zhang, please pour some tea.”

Aunt Zhang nodded and immediately went to pour tea for the couple.

Cynthia looked at Mary, “Mary, the couplet on the gate of your house must have been written by Viola, right? You don’t know how envious our family’s Bryant is of you having such an outstanding daughter.”

Mary also smiled happily, “Don’t listen to him, he just likes to brag.”

Cynthia joked, “But you have to have something to brag about, right? Look at the two of us, what have we got to brag about? Mary, Viola’s calligraphy is really beyond words, even our family’s Bryant had to admit defeat!” Bryant was very interested in calligraphy and had practiced it for more than 20 years, but was still not as good as Viola.

Sylvia heard this just as she came downstairs.

Her face darkened for just a moment, but she quickly regained her composure and walked into the living room with a smile, “Happy New Year, Uncle Zhao and Aunt Su!”

“Happy New Year to you too, Sylvia!” Cynthia looked behind Sylvia, “Where’s Viola?”

At that moment, Viola came down the stairs.

“Happy New Year, Aunt Su.”

She wore a burgundy coat with a white fox fur collar to match the fur hem, giving her a very festive and breath-taking appearance.

Upon hearing this, Cynthia was surprised, “Viola, you still remember me!”

During the recognition ceremony that day, Cynthia only caught a glimpse of Viola and didn’t expect her to remember her.

After all, there were too many people at the scene that day.

Viola’s eyes curved into a smile, “Aunt Su is so beautiful, it’s hard for anyone to forget.”

When she smiled, her dimples were so deep, they seemed like they could draw people in.

She was like the most dazzling star in the sky.

At her words, Cynthia’s smile almost bloomed.

Not only was the girl beautiful, but she also had a sweet mouth. She was simply too likable.

“Mary, your daughter is so good at talking!” Cynthia looked at Mary.

Mary’s face was also full of smiles, as if she had thought of something, “By the way, Viola, there are guests at the door looking for you.”

“Who is it?” Viola asked.

Before Mary could speak, Sylvia interrupted, “Sister, it seems to be your friends from River City. The housekeeper has already let them in!”

If Viola knew it was Mr. and Mrs. Thompson, she would definitely hide.

If Viola hid, they wouldn’t be able to see the joke!

So, Viola couldn’t know who it was.

Sylvia wanted Viola to be stuck in an awkward position.

To lose face in public.

Viola nodded slightly.

Cynthia continued, “Mary, did you hear about the incident at Phoenix Square last night?”

Mary smiled and nodded, “I was just talking about it with Sylvia.”

Cynthia, who was fond of reading overbearing CEO novels, said, “I wonder which big shot came to Capital City? The beautiful fireworks he set off might have been to please his pampered wife.”

Although it was just one firework.

But that firework was designed by the first designer in Lusto Country.

There was only one of its kind in the world.

It was priceless.

At this moment, Viola still did not know that Terrence Lentz, because of a firework, had become a small sensation on the internet.

She didn’t even know that she had become the “pampered wife of the overbearing CEO” in the eyes of others.

Cynthia went on, “They say that someone once offered two million for the firework, but Peter wouldn’t sell it!”

Who would have thought that in the end, this firework would appear in Capital City.

Mary nodded, “I heard about it too.”

“You heard about it too?” Cynthia was surprised.

Because in her impression, Mary never liked gossiping.

Mary smiled and said, “Because the person who offered the high price of two million was our family’s Mr. Thompson.”

At the time, Sawyer Thompson had tried to buy fireworks at a high price to welcome Viola back home.

Unfortunately, no matter how much they paid, Peter wouldn’t sell.

In the end, they had to give up.

Upon hearing this, Cynthia burst out laughing, “No wonder! The thing Mr. Thompson couldn’t buy ended up being bought by the overbearing CEO to please his little pampered wife.”
