Chapter 447: 164: The Wise Mandel Thompson, the Truth of That Year (Second Update)



The assistant handed over the documents in his hand to Mandel Thompson.

Mandel took them and flipped through a few pages, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

The assistant continued, “According to the date when Miss. Sylvia was brought back, I investigated the place where she was found for a long time. I have checked all the babies born in nearby hospitals, but none of them matched with Miss Sylvia. There were also no police reports of missing children.”

At this point, the assistant paused, “So, I suspect that Miss Sylvia was abandoned immediately after she was born at home.”

Abandoned?

A deep expression was in Mandel’s eyes.

If it was abandonment, how could it have been picked up by Mary Perryne?

At that time, Mary Perryne had just lost her child and soon found an abandoned baby, which was too much of a coincidence.

If all of this were calculated by someone.

Then.

The disappearance of Viola Thompson was definitely not an accident.

Not long after Viola Thompson disappeared, Sylvia appeared in front of Mary Perryne, and the motives of those behind the scenes were quite obvious.

She wanted her own child to replace Viola Thompson.

Viola Thompson

Thinking of this, Mandel furrowed his eyebrows slightly, he would never allow his sister to be used by others.

“Investigate! Keep investigating.”

His voice was light, but it made the assistant break out in a cold sweat.

“Yes.” The assistant nodded.

Mandel then instructed, “Remember, this matter cannot be known to anyone.”

Mandel had been in the business world for many years and experienced countless ups and downs. He was no amateur, and he knew that to find out the truth, he had to find Sylvia’s biological parents.

Only by knowing who Sylvia’s real parents are can he analyze whether everything that happened afterward was a coincidence or planned by someone.

Only when he was sure that it had nothing to do with Sylvia could he completely let down his guard towards this sister.

Call him cold-blooded, or heartless if you will.

In any case.

He can’t be like Edward Thompson, treating Sylvia more importantly than his own blood-related sister.

He couldn’t bear to see his sister, who had already suffered for eighteen years outside, have to watch an outsider’s face when she returned home.

As the eldest son in the family, he naturally had more responsibilities than others.

“Yes, Boss.”

“You can go and get busy.”

The assistant turned and left.

Watching the back of the assistant, Mandel pressed his temples.

At this moment, footsteps sounded again outside the door, followed by the assistant’s voice, “Emperor Thompson.”

Hearing this, Mandel put the documents the assistant had brought into the drawer of his desk.

As soon as the drawer was closed, Edward Thompson walked in, “Big Brother.”

“What’s the matter?”

Edward walked directly to the desk and stopped, placing both hands on it, “Big Brother, can I ask you for a favor?”

“Go ahead.” Mandel took up a document, not bothering to raise his eyebrows.

Edward continued, “I heard that Cloud Group is going to change its spokesperson soon?”

Cloud Group is one of Mandel’s companies.

It is also one of the few listed gaming companies in the country.

The most popular sniping game and tower advancement game in the middle part of the country are developed by Cloud Group at the moment.

Successfully becoming the spokesperson for Cloud Group’s games is a symbol of a female star’s status in the entertainment industry.

Mandel raised his eyes slightly, “What do you want to do?”

“Can you give me one of the spots for the domestic spokesperson?” Edward asked.

Mandel put down the document, “Who do you want to recommend?”

Seeing that there was hope, Edward continued, “Don’t let the fat water flow into other people’s fields. Big Brother, what do you think of Sylvia?”

Edward always cared about Sylvia’s affairs. As long as she asked, he would try his best to satisfy her.

“Nonsense!” Mandel frowned.

Edward was somewhat speechless, “How is this nonsense? Isn’t Sylvia’s image good?”

Regardless, Sylvia was their sister, and it was better to give the spokesperson’s spot to her than to outsiders. Besides, Sylvia also had a fan base in the entertainment industry.

For Mandel, this deal was not a loss at all.

However, Edward didn’t expect Mandel to react so strongly.

Mandel looked at Edward, a hint of anger hidden in his features, “As a student, her most important task is to study and conduct experiments. Is the entertainment industry a place for a student to be involved in? As her older brother, instead of persuading her, you are aiding her in this nonsense! Do you act like a brother?”

Continuing, Mandel added, “Edward, you are an adult. Can you think before you speak or act?”Students should look like students.

The smile on Edward Thompson’s face slowly disappeared.

He originally thought it was a simple matter.

Unexpectedly, Mandel Thompson’s reaction was so strong.

“Brother, just because Sylvia isn’t related to us by blood?” Edward felt disheartened by Mandel’s attitude, “If it were our little sister standing in front of you today, would you still refuse her so self-righteously?”

Definitely not.

Edward was very disappointed now.

“Do you want an answer? Fine, let me tell you,” Mandel’s voice was cold, “If it were our little sister standing here today, no matter what she asked for, I would give it! Even if it was the entire Cloud Group! Because that’s what I owe her! That’s what our entire Thompson Family owes her!”

As soon as Edward thought of the dark times Viola had experienced for the past 18 years, his heart ached.

At such a young age.

She went through liver-cutting, being abandoned by her foster parents time and time again, and finally being used as a tool for marriage.

Has Sylvia experienced any of these?

No!

Over the years, she’s been living like a princess, her parents never letting her so much as frown.

Having never experienced Viola’s hardships, what right did she have to compete with her?

Edward was stunned.

He had never seen his brother like this before.

His whole body was filled with anger.

Before Edward could react, Mandel angrily pointed at him, “Edward Thompson, I’m warning you once again! Our Thompson Family always keeps things aboveboard, with strict family values. We’ll never tolerate anyone tarnishing it! Know your limits and don’t embarrass yourself!”

Mandel’s suspicions were not unfounded.

Certain things had to be nipped in the bud before they could grow.

Maybe he was just overthinking it.

For some reason, Mandel felt that the care and protection Edward had for Sylvia was beyond normal brother-sister relations.

Edward was stunned. He didn’t expect that just asking for a spokesperson from Mandel would make him this mad.

In the end,

He was still protecting Viola.

It’s all because of her.

Edward’s heart was now cold, “Brother, I can see now that in your heart, only Viola is your sister.”

As for the others, they were all passing clouds in Mandel’s eyes.

Who’s the confused one?

It’s clearly Mandel himself!

After saying this, he turned and walked away.

Edward originally thought that Mandel would call out to him.

But he didn’t.

Nobody called him until he walked out of the Thompson Group building.

Edward’s heart was even colder, and at the same time, somewhat relieved that at least in this family, he had a brother who genuinely cared about Sylvia.

As soon as he returned to the Thompson Family Manor, he saw Sawyer Thompson pulling luggage out.

Seeing Edward return, Sawyer said, “It’s good that you’re back, Edward. Old He took a leave, can you take me to the airport?”

“Dad, where are you going?” Edward asked.

Sawyer replied, “I’m going to River City. Your little sister’s College Entrance Examination will be over tomorrow.”

Since the exam began, their father was busy all the time.

With the exam ending, he wanted to bring Viola back home with their mother and Mary Perryne.

Viola again.

Is she the only sister left in his world?

“I don’t have time.” Edward walked straight into the house, his face covered in frost.

Sawyer frowned slightly, but didn’t say much to Edward. He called for a ride-hailing car.

“Brother,” Sylvia was in the hall talking to a servant when she suddenly saw Edward return. She walked over with a smile and said, “Why are you back now?”]

Seeing Sylvia, Edward’s face changed for a moment, but he smiled and replied, “I’m a little tired, so I came back to rest. By the way, about the endorsement deal…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Sylvia understood his intentions, “It’s okay, Brother. It’s actually normal for my elder brother to disagree. After all, I’m not a professional in that field. Professional matters should be left to professionals. Please don’t have conflict with my elder brother because of this.”

In fact, Sylvia never wanted the Cloud Group’s endorsement deal in the first place.

She just wanted to test her position in Mandel’s heart and take the opportunity to stir up the relationship between the two brothers.

Sylvia’s goal has always been one thing.

That was to make Viola the target of everyone’s blame.
