Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

Chapter 695: 227: It’s too late for regrets!
 

S stands for Viola Thompson.

So, the reason he can still stand under the sun and escape the days of being bullied by inmates while working on a sewing machine is because of Viola Thompson.

The sun was scorching.

But Edward Thompson didn’t feel hot at all.

He couldn’t quite describe the feeling in his heart, but it was cold all over.

After a long time, he looked up at Ling and asked, “Officer Kim, are you saying that the person who cleared my name is my little sister?”

“Yes.” Ling nodded.

Ling knew about the situation between Edward Thompson and Viola Thompson.

She also knew what he had done before, so telling Edward Thompson about this matter was also to defend Viola Thompson.

After all, Edward Thompson hadn’t treated Viola Thompson as his biological sister before that.

His heart only had one sister, Sylvia Thompson.

He hated Viola as if she was an enemy.

If it wasn’t for this experience, his attitude towards Viola would be the same as before.

Edward Thompson took a deep breath, looked at Ling, and bent down slightly, “Officer Kim, thank you for telling me the truth.”

Ling looked at Edward Thompson and said, “Mr. Thompson, I’m telling you these things because I want you to know that no matter what happens, you and Miss Thompson are siblings. Miss Thompson is a good and excellent person. As her brother, I don’t want you to let her down.”

At this point, Ling paused and continued: “Mr. Thompson, if you put yourself in her shoes, if it was Miss Thompson who was wronged today and was locked up in the detention center, would you do as much for her? You wouldn’t. Maybe you would even stand with Sylvia Thompson and think it was all Viola’s retribution.”

Ling’s voice was not loud, but it struck Edward Thompson’s heart. Every word was heartbreaking and tear-jerking, revealing the truth about his feelings.

Upon hearing this, Edward Thompson’s defenses were utterly broken.

He didn’t cry when he was misunderstood as the murderer, nor when he was bullied in the detention center.

But upon hearing Ling’s words, his eyes reddened for the first time in so many days.

What a bastard he was.

Edward Thompson squatted on the ground, covering his head and crying loudly.

He was reminded of the first time he met Viola Thompson.

Back then,

He didn’t know that Viola Thompson was his long-lost sister. At that time, he had a good impression of her and was even amazed. He wondered how there could be someone so beautiful in the world, whose every move was even more captivating than a female star in the entertainment industry.

Looking back now, his gradual change of attitude towards Viola and worsened treatment of her was because of Sylvia Thompson.

Because Samuel Thompson had drawn a sketch of Viola Thompson.

Sylvia Thompson then added fuel to the fire by saying that Viola Thompson was manipulative and that only one meeting was all it took for Samuel Thompson to become infatuated with her. At that time, Edward Thompson hadn’t realized that the reason Samuel Thompson drew Viola’s portrait was not because of any so-called scheming, but the bond between their blood and kinship.

Thinking back now, he was incredibly stupid. While Sylvia Thompson failed to plant seeds of discord among others, he believed her words like a fool and targeted his own sister.

How ridiculous.

It was truly ridiculous!

Not only that, but he had also severed his relationship with Viola several times.

Thinking back now, Edward Thompson felt like he could hardly breathe.

He regretted it so much.

If he could go back in time, he would love to go back and slap that foolish self of his to death.

Ling stood there quietly, looking down at Edward Thompson. After a long time, she continued, “Mr. Thompson, yesterday is gone, and it’s not too late to make amends. I hope you won’t make the same mistakes again in the future. Miss Thompson is a good sister. If she were my sister, I would do everything I could to satisfy her even if she asked for the stars in the sky.”

With that, Ling turned around and walked back in.

Edward Thompson was still squatting on the ground.

No one could understand his feelings at this moment.

A paparazzi took pictures of this scene.

Once an emperor in the film industry, he had fallen to the point of breaking down and crying outside the police station.

This piece of entertainment news made many people sigh and shake their heads.

Who would have thought that Edward Thompson would end up like this?

[What’s wrong with Emperor Thompson? Is he repenting and getting ready to start a new life?]

[I guess he must regret it. After all, he gave up so much for Sylvia Thompson. Even his name was removed from the family records. If it were me, I’d cry too!]

[Why do I feel he’s quite pathetic?]

[Pathetic? Isn’t the princess more pathetic? Look at how she was treated by him before. She was even framed for having an abortion. I think Sophie Cooper must have planned this. After all, she even dared to commit murder. Is there anything Sylvia Thompson wouldn’t do?]
