Translator: 549690339

Although jealous, she still followed Madam Zacks to River City with a happy heart.

After all, Elizabeth Thompson was her cousin, and she needed to maintain a facade of familial affection.

Olga shared the news that Madam Zacks would soon be heading to River City with Elizabeth Thompson.

Elizabeth Thompson furrowed her brows slightly, pretending to be displeased, and said, “Mom, didn’t I ask you not to tell anyone?”

She wanted to keep a low profile, but as it turned out, her mother had a flamboyant nature.

Olga laughed and said, “Can your grandmother and aunt be considered outsiders?”

Elizabeth Thompson continued, “So, besides them, you didn’t tell anyone else, right?”

“Rest assured, I didn’t,” answered Olga.

Elizabeth Thompson felt a little disappointed, but she didn’t show it.

She had thought Olga would show off to her circle of friends…

But unexpectedly, this time, Olga managed to keep her composure.

But that’s alright.

Once she signs the contract, the news will surely be a sensation throughout town!

Pondering this, Elizabeth Thompson curled her lips into a smile.

Just then, the sound of a car engine came from outside the door.

Hearing that, Olga immediately cheered up, “That must be your grandmother and the others.’

Elizabeth Thompson followed Olga’s pace.

As they reached the door, it indeed was Madam Zacks who had arrived.

Madam Zacks, in her early seventies, had dyed black hair, dressed fashionably with high heels. Although she looked chic, there was a sense of discordance seeing an elderly woman dressed like this.

She didn’t have that kind of gentleness expected from an older woman.

“Mom,” Olga immediately greeted her.

“Olga,” greeted Madam Zacks.

Olga turned to Wanda who was standing next to her, “Sister-in-law is here too.”

Wanda smiled and said, “Elizabeth is making such great progress, as her aunt, of course I wanted to come and see.’

Elizabeth Thompson came over and politely greeted them, “Grandma, Aunt, Cousin.”

Madam Zacks, who adored her granddaughter, immediately held Elizabeth Thompson’s hands and started a string of endearments.

Elizabeth Thompson didn’t enjoy this kind of attention and could only respond with an obliging smile.

Dawn slightly furrowed her brow.

She had always thought Madam Zacks showed favoritism.

Now seeing this, she still thought Madam Zacks showed favoritism.

Knowing that her daughter didn’t like elderly people, because Elizabeth Thompson always said that elders had an unpleasant smell, Olga immediately laughed and said, “Mom, let’s go inside and talk. Elizabeth has a cold. We don’t want you to get it.”

Upon hearing this, Elizabeth Thompson quickly distanced herself from

Madam Zacks, “Yes, Grandma, we don’t want you to get sick.”

Madam Zacks didn’t catch the undertone in their words and laughed, “It’s okay. 1 would be glad even if I caught a cold from Elizabeth!”

Dawn shook her head in disbelief.

Her grandmother was really incorrigible, unable to hear even the slightest hint of disdain in other’s words.

A total waste of her many years of life!

Wanda gently nudged her daughter with her elbow to signal her not to say too much.

Olga took Madam Zacks’ arm, “Mom, let’s go inside and talk.”

“Alright,” agreed Madam Zacks.

The group of people entered the house,

Elizabeth Thompson brewed tea for everyone conscientiously.

Madam Zacks thought even more highly of her granddaughter for her thoughtfulness. After taking a sip of tea, she asked, “Elizabeth, when are you

planning to sign the contract with the UK?”

“Let’s wait some more time,” Elizabeth answered with a smile, “There’s no rush.’

Madam Zacks looked at Dawn and added, “While we’re in River City, you should learn more from your cousin!”

“Understood,” replied Dawn.

Olga looked at Dawn and asked, “Dawn is a year older than Elizabeth, right?” Wanda nodded in agreement, “Yes, she’s a year older.”

Olga continued, “Then, Dawn, you really have to work hard this year and try to get into a good university next year.”

Dawn didn’t do well in the College Entrance Examination, so she had chosen to retake it.

She and Elizabeth Thompson were polar opposites.

One was academically excellent, hailed the top student by teachers and classmates.

While the other couldn’t even get admission into an average-tier university.

Dawn smiled and said, “Aunt Olivia, you know I’ve never been good at studying.”

Wanda replied, “l only hope she can get into a common second-tier university.”

Madam Zacks frowned upon hearing this. She begrudged the fact that Elizabeth Thompson wasn’t her granddaughter, wishing that she could swap the two.

Elizabeth Thompson had never caused any worry since childhood, while Dawn was nothing but a source of constant concern.

Upon hearing this, Elizabeth Thompson chose to remain silent.

“Madam, Miss, someone from the UK is here!” Just then, the Housekeeper walked in from the door outside.

Elizabeth Thompson wasn’t surprised at all.

It was definitely Adam who had come.

“Go and invite our guest in,” ordered Elizabeth Thompson.

“Alright,” the housekeeper nodded.

Shortly after, the housekeeper ushered in a man in a suit and polished shoes.

It was not Adam.

Elizabeth Thompson, who was looking at the man, found him somewhat unfamiliar.

Could it be a boss with an even higher position than Adam?

Under such circumstances, it wasn’t impossible.

Elizabeth Thompson walked over calmly, wearing a polite smile, “Could you please pass a message to Adam when you return? Tell him that I will still be occupied for the next few days, ask him to wait a bit longer.”

Upon hearing this, Madam Zacks was utterly dumbfounded.

Anyone else would be overjoyed to be chosen as UKs ambassador, yet Elizabeth Thompson was speaking to a high-ranking UK executive in a commanding tone… making him wait!

This showed that Elizabeth Thompson’s status in the UK was no small matter.

Both Wanda and Dawn were slightly taken aback.

The next second, the man responded, “Miss Thompson, you must have misunderstood something. I am here to deliver a termination notice. The UK has already selected a new ambassador..”
