Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

Soon, Sylvia walked out of the bathroom and composed a text message to send to Edward Thompson.

[Bro, I have something to attend to all of a sudden, heading back first.]

Upon receiving the message, Edward sensed that something was amiss right away.

Something must have happened to Sylvia.

After all, they had agreed to go out for dinner together that night to celebrate the establishment of their studio.

Edward immediately left the office to look for Sylvia.

“Sylvia!”

He searched many places but could not find Sylvia.

Edward slightly furrowed his eyebrows, becoming anxious.

What on earth happened to Sylvia!

At that moment, Edward suddenly saw a familiar figure and quickly chased after her, “Sylvia!”

Sylvia had her back to him and didn’t say anything.

“Sylvia, what happened?”

Sylvia lowered her head, covering her face with her left hand, “Bro, I’m fine.”

Her voice was somewhat low.

The more Sylvia acted like this, the more worried Edward got. “Sylvia, what happened to you?”

“I’m really fine.” Sylvia kept her head down, not daring to look into Edward’s eyes, covering her face tightly with her left hand.

Edward slightly furrowed his eyebrows, pulling Sylvia’s hand away, “Sylvia, let your big brother see what’s wrong with you.”

As he pulled Sylvia’s hand away, Edward was instantly stunned.

Only to see.

Sylvia’s face had a red and swollen slap mark on it.

It looked absolutely horrifying.

Edward was suddenly filled with rage, “Who did this! Tell your big brother! Who hit you like this!”

Sylvia forced a weak smile, “It’s okay, big bro, I just fell down.”

Fell?

Edward was no fool, nor was he a three-year-old child.

How could a fall result in something like this!

“Sylvia, I’m your big brother!” Edward’s face was filled with a layer of coldness, “Tell me, who is it, I’ll kill him!”

He wouldn’t even dare to touch his sister.

But now.

Someone dared to hit Sylvia’s face.

And with such ferocity.

“Bro, I’m really fine.” Sylvia smiled and said, “You don’t have to worry about me.”

“Sylvia!”

Sylvia sighed.

“Was it Viola Thompson?” Edward’s first reaction was Viola Thompson.

Apart from Viola, no one else would dare to do this to Sylvia.

It must be Viola!

“Wait! I’ll go get justice for you right now!” Edward said, turning around to leave.

“Brother, this has nothing to do with my sister.” Sylvia hurriedly grabbed Edward’s hand, “It was my birth father… it’s him….”

At the end, Sylvia burst into tears.

Edward was stunned.

“Your birth father?”

“Yes.” Sylvia nodded, crying, “He came to ask me for money, and also for a house, I…”

“Wait!” Edward furrowed his eyebrows, “I will go and kill that scum.”

“No!” Sylvia held onto Edward’s hand, “Bro, after all, he’s my birth father…”

She looked pitiful and continued, “Although he never raised me, he gave me life. Without him, there would be no me. Even though he hit me today, I don’t hate him, I only hate that I don’t have the ability to provide a shelter for him to live a stable life in his later years. After all, he only has me as his daughter.”

Looking at Sylvia like this, Edward couldn’t help but sigh.

Sylvia was a good person but excessively kind-hearted.

Therefore, even after being ruthlessly driven out by the Thompson family, she did not hold any resentment towards them, not even towards Viola. Up until now, she still affectionately referred to Viola as her sister.

It would be difficult for anyone else to be as magnanimous as Sylvia.

Unfortunately.

The Thompson family didn’t see Sylvia’s goodness.

Not only did they not see it, but they also thought Sylvia was a malicious person.

At this point, Sylvia looked at Edward, “So, Bro, you mustn’t blame him.”

Edward squinted his eyes, “How did he find you?”

Sylvia shook her head.

“It must be Viola,” Edward continued, “If it wasn’t for Viola stirring things up behind the scenes, he wouldn’t have suddenly come looking for you!”

After all, Sylvia’s birth father had never raised her, so he didn’t have the right to ask Sylvia for alimony.

And how did Sylvia’s birth father suddenly find her?
