Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

Chapter 457: 167: Directly slapping the face, interviewing Miss Song, the top scorer in China’s national exam!_3
After running two laps, she went home to change clothes and then headed to the high-speed rail station.

Rachel Barton arrived at Cokoon City’s high-speed rail station at eight o’clock.

Knowing Rachel’s habits, she definitely took the earliest bus to the station.

The first train arrived at the station at 7 a.m.

At 6:56 a.m., Viola Thompson arrived at the bus stop on time.

Four minutes later, the bus slowly approached.

Although it was the first bus of the day, the carriage was still packed with passengers.

After a short while, Rachel stepped off the bus.

Behind her was the couple, Gregory Diet and Beatrice Black.

Upon seeing Viola, Rachel let out a sigh.

She didn’t say anything.

Viola’s questioning of her own parents for no apparent reason was not unheard of, as she wasn’t a wooden person, she had emotions as well…

“Rachel.”

During this brief moment of distraction, Viola approached and greeted her proactively.

It was as if nothing had happened at all, with a shallow smile on her face, reflecting two attractive dimples that seemed to draw people in.

At this instant.

Rachel seemed to see the young Viola, “Rachel, don’t be afraid, I’ll protect you from now on.”

Her voice was still lingering in her ears, and unknowingly, so many years had already passed by.

Just then, the sunlight that was blocked by the clouds penetrated down from the sky.

It illuminated Viola’s body.

At this moment, all the barriers between the two vanished without a trace.

“Viola.” Rachel put down the things in her hand and embraced Viola.

Viola patted Rachel’s back, “Have a safe trip.”

Everything that needed to be said was said last night.

Viola was here today to see her best friend off.

“Okay,” Rachel nodded.

Seeing this scene, Gregory nudged Beatrice’s arm with his hand.

Beatrice instantly caught on, walked forward with a smile, “Hey, is this your friend?”

Rachel turned to look at Beatrice, “Mom, this is Viola! Have you forgotten her?”

“Auntie.”

Beatrice nodded, “I remember, I remember!”

How could she possibly forget someone as beautiful as Viola?

Beatrice squinted her eyes and continued, “Viola, how about going with us to the countryside? The air there is great, and the scenery is quite nice. I guarantee you won’t want to leave once you’re there.”

Such a beautiful girl, she thought many people in their village would fight to have her as their daughter-in-law.

Young girls are easy to deceive.

Once they introduce her to a handsome boyfriend, wouldn’t the betrothal gifts be easy to handle?

Once the marriage is settled, could she still run?

Viola politely declined, “Thank you, auntie, but I won’t go.”

Beatrice was somewhat reluctant to give up, “Girl, try to convince your friend, think of it as a holiday trip.”

Rachel smiled and said, “Mom, Viola still has to go back home with her parents! She doesn’t have time to go with me now.”

Upon hearing that Viola’s parents were also in River City, Beatrice abandoned the idea and then asked, “By the way, Viola, have you ever considered having godparents?”

Before Viola could answer, Rachel intervened, “Mom, why are you asking that?”

Beatrice smiled and said, “I just noticed that you and Viola get along really well! You two grew up together as if you were sisters, so I thought, why not make you two real sisters by letting Viola become my goddaughter!”

By the end, Beatrice looked at Viola, her eyes full of calculating intentions.

Goddaughter?

Hearing that, Rachel glanced at Viola.

The idea was indeed not bad.

If Viola were to become her mother’s goddaughter, then their relationship would be even closer.

However.

Would Viola…

Agree?

“Thank you for your kindness, auntie, but it’s too sudden today. Let’s talk about it another day,” Viola looked at her wristwatch, “Rachel, I’ll see you off here. We have a flight at 11:30 a.m., so we have to go back and get ready.”

Upon hearing this answer, Rachel was a bit disappointed.

Did Viola not agree due to her parents’ farming background?

Thinking about this.

Rachel’s eyes filled with a hint of darkness.

Beatrice was extremely disappointed with Viola’s response, as she had planned to gain some benefits by reeling in a beautiful goddaughter.

Viola then said, “Goodbye, Rachel. Goodbye, uncle and auntie.”

“Goodbye.” Rachel waved at Viola.

Watching Viola’s retreating figure, Beatrice commented, “Girl, your good friend doesn’t seem to be as close as you said! I think she looks down on us. She didn’t agree with either one of our invitations. What do her parents do?”

Rachel had only suspected Viola’s disdain for her parents’ background, but after hearing Beatrice’s words, she became more convinced of her own thoughts.
