Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

Not to mention Edward Thompson, who was kneeling on the ground.

Even the reporter holding the microphone was stunned.

After a while, a young reporter came to his senses, smiled, and said, “Master of Thompson Family, are you serious about what you just said or is it just a joke?”

No matter what, Edward Thompson was part of the Thompson bloodline. Even if he had done something terrible, Sawyer Thompson wouldn’t really sever ties with him.

“I am very serious.” Sawyer Thompson steadied the microphone and continued, “And all the procedures have been completed. So, from now on, Edward Thompson has no connection to the Thompson Clan!”

His voice wasn’t particularly loud, but it carried weight.

The young reporter was taken aback again.

“Are you sure?”

Sawyer Thompson faced the camera, “Yes, I am very serious.”

It seemed that the young reporter loved getting into other people’s business, so he continued to ask, “Master of Thompson Family, may I ask, how do you plan to handle Second Miss Thompson’s issue with your wife?”

“Sorry, but there is only one Miss Thompson in our family, and that is my biological daughter Viola Thompson.” Sawyer Thompson directly denied Sylvia Thompson’s existence.

The young reporter continued, “Then what about Sylvia Thompson?”

“Her name is now Sophie Cooper,” Sawyer Thompson paused and continued, “Her name and household registration have long been removed. She has no connection with the Thompson Clan whatsoever.”

The young reporter narrowed his eyes, “So, you mean to say that Sophie Cooper, formerly known as Second Miss Thompson, can no longer inherit you and your wife’s estate? But have you ever thought that she is, after all, your and your wife’s adopted daughter?”

Sawyer Thompson slightly frowned, looked at the young reporter, and bluntly said, “Would your family let the nanny’s daughter inherit the estate? If the nanny swapped your daughter with her own, would you still be grateful to the nanny?!”

The young reporter’s face turned pale, clearly not expecting such a strong response from Sawyer Thompson.

After saying these words, Sawyer Thompson left immediately.

Without even glancing at Edward Thompson.

Nobody thought it would end like this.

Everyone thought the Thompson Clan’s statement about severing ties with Edward Thompson was just meant to scare him, but it turned out that they were dead serious. It seemed that there was no turning back from this incident.

The camera immediately turned to capture Sawyer Thompson’s retreating figure.

Edward Thompson was dumbstruck.

He was drenched in cold sweat.

He never thought that Sawyer Thompson would be so ruthless.

No.

It couldn’t be!

He and Sylvia were part of the Thompson Family forever!

Edward Thompson’s face showed a gray, beaten expression, unable to come to terms with what had happened.

He didn’t understand.

He was Sawyer Thompson’s biological son, sharing the same blood.

And Sylvia was the daughter he had raised for eighteen years.

Why would Sawyer Thompson treat him and Sylvia like this?

Edward Thompson never dreamed that his father would announce in public that he had removed them from the Thompson family tree and even talked about denying them their inheritance.

But if Sawyer Thompson didn’t let him and Sylvia inherit the estate, then who would he leave all this to?

To Viola Thompson?

For a moment, Edward Thompson’s face turned red with anger, blue veins bulging.

Why should Viola have it all?

Viola had been missing for eighteen years, and during these eighteen years, she had never fulfilled any filial duty to her parents. She had only returned a few months ago.

Yet he and Sylvia had been dutifully caring for their parents for more than twenty years.

This was so unfair to him and Sylvia.

At this moment, Edward Thompson recalled what Mary Perryne had previously told him.

At that time, she had confidently said that she would give half of her assets to Sylvia in the future.

But what about now?

The current Mary Perryne had probably long forgotten her promise.

And had long forgotten that she had a daughter like Sylvia.

Bias!

This was too biased!

Why were his parents so biased?

Biased enough to disregard blood relationships.

What should he do now?

Initially, he thought he would just apologize and return to his previous life, while at the same time allowing Sylvia to live a good life.

But now…

Things had turned out like this.

At this moment, the reporter put the microphone in front of Edward Thompson, “Emperor Thompson, what do you think about Mr. Thompson’s words just now? Do you regret your previous impulsive actions?”

Two questions in total.

Each word hitting him where it hurt.

“Scram!”

Edward Thompson squeezed out one word through gritted teeth, swung the microphone away, then got up from the ground and quickly fled from the scene.
