    Terrence Lentz’s eyes were full of mocking, and he pushed up his sses on the bridge of his nose. “Quite a good match indeed.”


    “So, will your parents be pissed when that happens?” Sophie asked, enjoying his misfortune.


    “That depends on their psychological tolerance.” Terrence Lentz said.


    In fact, their parents should have expected this oue.


    They were not unaware of Terrence’s character. How could he be worthy of Elizabeth Thompson? The fact that things have turned to this point is not only because their parents failed to control Terrence, but also because they spoiled him, allowing him to have whatever he wanted, and no one was allowed to say a word about it.


    This is instant karma!


    …


    The Thompson n’s house.


    Next morning.


    Vi Thompson came downstairs for breakfast on time.


    With a rxed posture and a casual look, she seemed unruffled.


    Reg Thompson and Olga felt their teeth itch with annoyance.


    These troublemakers had offended CEO Cooper so severely. If Elizabeth hadn’t stepped in personally, the whole thing would have been impossible to settle. But look at Vi acting as if nothing had happened!


    “Sister, good morning,” Elizabeth Thompson greeted Vi with a smile.


    “Morning.”


    Reg Thompson looked at Vi, trying to suppress his anger in his heart. “From today on, you will go to school with your sister every morning. You will be studying at the old house…”


    Forget it.


    Reg Thompson stopped halfway through his sentence. Given Vi’s attitude, he didn’t expect her to achieve anything good in the old house, let alone to get into college.


    Anyway, arranging for Vi to go to school was just a formality.


    Olga nced at Vi and warned, “Eliot International School is not an ordinary school. Remember to speak less and avoid trouble. Learn from your sister’s demeanor.”


    The tuition fee for Eliot International School was a six-figure sum, so the students who could attend were either rich or privileged.


    Vi was still a member of the Thompson n after all. If she did something shameful, it would still disgrace them.


    Elizabeth Thompson looked at Olga and spoke softly, “Mom, don’t worry, sister is not a child anymore, she knows how to behave.”


    Olga’s expression softened as she looked at Elizabeth.


    Her daughter was sensible, unlike this wild child.


    Vi leisurely ate her breakfast on her te, lifting the corner of her red lips when she heard their words.


    Not a single member of the Thompson family was easy to deal with. No wonder the original Vi couldn’t hold her own against them.


    After breakfast, Vi went upstairs to change into her school uniform.


    The uniform of Eliot International School was designed by the famous designer J.


    A white shirt with a ck bow tie and a knee-length ck pleated skirt made the person look youthful and energetic. Vi’s tall and slender figure and porcin-white skin made her look like a 2D beauty who had just walked out of aic book.


    Looking at her reflection in the mirror, Vi was satisfied as she put on a ck cap.


    The ck cap covered her facial features, concealing most of her sharp edges, while the low-key attire exuded an elegant demeanor that couldn’t be hidden, turning every gesture into a scenic moment.


    Elizabeth Thompson looked at Vi walking downstairs, her eyes narrowing slightly.


    Somehow, she felt that Vi seemed different since her return.


    However, a country bumpkin could only be a country bumpkin at the end of the day.


    Vi might be beautiful, but her life was predictable.


    First, she would get engaged to Terrence, then marry him. After the elderly Lentz couple passed away, she and Terrence would be kicked out of the Lentz n by the two brothers, bing homeless and leading ordinary and poor lives.


    Such a person was not worth her concern.


    A glint shed in Elizabeth Thompson’s eyes as she smiled at Vi, “Sister, let’s go.”


    As soon as the two stepped outside, they saw a young man in a school uniform waiting outside.


    As soon as he saw them, he came over to greet them.


    “Elizabeth.”


    “Adam.”


    Elizabeth Thompson looked up and smiled, “Oh, Adam, let me introduce you. This is my sister, Vi Thompson.”


    Then she turned to Vi, “Sis, this is Adam Mamet, you can call him Brother Adam. He lives next door to us, and we’ve grown up together. He’s been my best friend since childhood.”


    Adam Mamet nced at Vi, a hint of contempt in his eyes. “Elizabeth, is this the sister who just came back from the countryside?”


    Vi raised her hand and pressed down on the cap on her head, the shadow of the cap’s visor covering her lower jaw.


    Elizabeth Thompson pulled Adam Mamet’s hand and whispered, “Adam, don’t say that about my sister.”


    “Alright, alright,” Adam Mamet said while patting Elizabeth Thompson’s head, “I won’t say it.”But in her heart, she mocked Vi Thompson for being too narrow-minded.


    She’s obviously from the countryside, can’t she take a joke?


    What right does this uncouth country girl have to stand next to Elizabeth Thompson?


    Reluctantly extending his hand towards Vi for the sake of the Thompson n, Adam Mamet said, “Hello, I’m Adam Mamet.”


    Vi raised her eyes slightly, revealing a pair of bright, peach blossom-like pupils. “Hello, I’m that Vi Thompson from the countryside you’ve heard about. I apologize, I have a bit of a cleanliness fixation, so I won’t be shaking hands.”


    A moment ago, Adam hadn’t seen Vi’s face clearly. Now, he was slightly stunned.


    He hadn’t expected that beneath the ck hat brim, there was such a stunningly charming face.


    Before Adam could react, Vi had already walked away.


    “She…” Adam scratched his head.


    Elizabeth continued, “Adam, don’t me my sister. She grew up in the countryside with our grandma, so she’s not familiar with formalities. She treats my parents the same way, let alone you.”


    What she meant was that Vicked manners.


    Elizabeth had always been kind and considerate of others when speaking.


    “But she’s very smart, and I believe she’ll adapt to life here soon,” Elizabeth added, gentle and understanding.


    Adam already had a poor impression of Vi; now, his brow furrowed as he said, “Didn’t your grandma teach your sister what manners are?”


    Elizabeth replied, “Our grandma is old, after all, and has more heart than she has hands.”action


    Ultimately, Vi was disobedient and unruly, difficult to discipline.


    If that weren’t the case, why would she act like this?


    Adam caught the implication and said, “Your sister is nothing like you.”


    Who would believe they were siblings if not for witnessing it herself?


    With a smile, Elizabeth looped her arm through Adam’s. “Adam, don’t view others through colored sses. Give my sister some time. Let’s hurry, it’s her first day at school, and I’m worried she won’t find her way around.”


    The International School in Cloud City was huge, covering over a hundred acres, and was nothing like the rural schools.


    Vi had just arrived and probably couldn’t even find the entrance.


    Adam held Elizabeth’s arm tightly, then said, “She doesn’t even treat you like a sister, why are you so good to her? Do you think you’re easy to bully?”


    “Adam!” Elizabeth’s soft voice called out. “Don’t say that. Sis is new here, so it’s natural for me to look after her.”


    Adam sighed, “Elizabeth, kindness invites abuse!”


    It was a simple truth even children understood, yet Elizabeth didn’t get it.


    It frustrated Adam to see her like this.


    Elizabeth helplessly tried to exin, “Actually, my sister isn’t bad. She’s just not used to it here.”


    “Elizabeth, don’t make excuses for her. I doubt she’d appreciate it,” Adam said angrily. “Your parents gave her life! Without them, she’d still be in the orphanage now! She’s not grateful at all, and now she even dares to show you attitude! She’s really badly brought up!”


    …


    Teacher’s office.


    Teacher Zhang turned around, a look of curiosity on his face as he asked, “Teacher Ye, I heard there’s a transfer student in your ss?”


    Hearing this, Teacher Ye exined, “She’s a transient student.”


    Since transient students were just visiting, they weren’t considered part of the ss and wouldn’t affect the ss’s average score.


    Teacher Ye had reviewed Vi’s previous school records.


    Vi was an average student who ranked around the top thirty in her grade, but that was only in the countryside.


    Whether or not Vi could understand the curriculum at their international school remained to be seen.


    If it weren’t for Elizabeth’s sake, Teacher Ye wouldn’t have admitted Vi as a transient student at all.


    But since Elizabeth personally made the request, Teacher Ye agreed to give her face.


    Teacher Zhang continued, “I also heard that the transient student and your ss’s top scorer are sisters?”


    Every month, Elizabeth ranked first in her grade. If she didn’t be the top-ranked student in the College Entrance Examination, who would?


    As such, the teachers referred to her as the top-ranked student.


    “I believe so,” Teacher Ye nodded.


    “Since they’re sisters, there’s no way she can be that bad,” said Teacher Zhang. “Teacher Ye, don’t miss out on a good prospect for no reason. If one sister ranks first and the other ranks second, your name will be known far and wide.”


    Elizabeth was a textbook genius; surely Vi, as her sister, couldn’t be mediocre.


    Upon hearing this, Teacher Yeughed. “They don’t have any blood rtion. And have you ever seen a second-ranked student who can only rank in the top thirty in a rural school? Whether she can understand our bilingual lessons is still uncertain.”
