Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot
Chapter 1277 - Chapter 1277 357 Pride of Heavens Daughter _1

Chapter 1277: 357: Pride of Heaven’s Daughter! _1 Chapter 1277: 357: Pride of Heaven’s Daughter! _1 Lady Thompson was serious, not joking in the slightest.

At her words, Rosalind Rohr squinted.

In her life, she may not have married a husband she could take pride in, but she had a daughter who made her proud.

Depending on her husband, she could end up dealing with infidelity at any given day.

But relying on her daughter was different.

Because her daughter is, at any time, the person connected to her own bloodline.

Her husband could betray her.

But her daughter wouldn’t.

Hearing now from Lady Thompson herself, promising to hand over the Thompson Clan to Vicki’s administration, Rosalind Rohr wished everyone could know of this news.

Even though she felt excited, Rosalind Rohr didn’t show it. Instead, she said, “Mother, you mustn’t say such things. Vicki’s young and can’t bear such heavy responsibility, particularly because there are two older cousins before her. She’s just a girl; it’s not her turn to hold power in the family.”

Lady Thompson could not stand such words, “What’s wrong with being a girl? Rosalind Rohr, you are a woman yourself, do you look down on your own gender?”

Lady Thompson in her early days was decisive and managed home affairs well, even now in old age, she is still as steadfast.

Who among the younger generation didn’t fear this old matriarch?

More admirable was that she wasn’t a traditional elder who favored males over females; what mattered to her were capabilities.

Not only was Vicki clever and quick-thinking, but she was also careful, which is why Lady Thompson had always liked this granddaughter.

Now, saying she was going to hand the leadership to Vicki was not a joke.

She never went back on her words.

Since she had said so, then a hundred years later, the leadership will surely be given to Vicki.

“No no no,” Rosalind Rohr quickly clarified, “Mother, I didn’t mean that. I’m just afraid that Vicki’s two brothers would be upset.”

Mentioning the two good-for-nothing grandsons, Lady Thompson rose from her seat with discontent, “Upset? What right do they have to be upset?!”

Those two good-for-nothings.

Without capabilities or talents, and besides flattery, what else could they do?

Lady Thompson would never hand over the Thompson Clan to such people.

Rosalind Rohr hid her amusement and went to Lady Thompson’s side, “Mother, you are not in good health now, so don’t get so angry! I was just saying something casually. Don’t take it to heart. Caleb and Elijah are well-behaved children. Let’s not talk about anything else for now, but the fact they take the time to come pay respects to you every day is something that Vicki cannot match. Speaking of, we haven’t seen Vicki in almost half a year!”

Rosalind Rohr’s words seemed to be praising Caleb and Elijah for their filial piety, but actually, she was criticizing them for being idle.

If these two had proper jobs, they wouldn’t be visiting Lady Thompson so frequently.

They had only one goal in their visits to Lady Thompson.

And that was the leadership of the clan.

Both of them wanted to become the head of the Thompson Clan.

Unfortunately,

Lady Thompson was not blind. She knew very well who was actually capable of assuming the role.

Hearing her words, Lady Thompson nodded, “Yes, we haven’t seen Vicki for a long time. We don’t know if she’s become thin or not! By the way, how many days off does Vicki have this time?”

“Ten days in total.” Rosalind Rohr replied.

“She’s been away for more than half a year and only gets ten days off?” Lady Thompson frowned slightly.

Rosalind Rohr laughed and said, “I’ve already told Vicki that a girl doesn’t need to work so hard. The Marginine Organization is tiring and their regulations are strict. It would be better to quit, but this child is stubborn, insisting that she must hold on. This stubborn character, I wonder who she takes after!”

“She takes after me!” Lady Thompson laughed, “This child’s character is just like mine when I was young. Once she chooses a path, she will not turn back unless she makes a name for herself!”

This is precisely why Lady Thompson loved Vicki so much.

Rosalind Rohr also laughed.

Initially, when she married into the Thompson Clan, her relationship with Lady Thompson as a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law wasn’t so good.

After all, mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law are naturally enemies.

But since the birth of Vicki, Lady Thompson’s attitude towards her did a complete 180-degree turn.

Half an hour later, Rosalind Rohr left Lady Thompson’s bedroom.

She encountered Ava Kamani, wife of the Thompson Clan’s eldest son, who was bringing ginseng soup for Lady Thompson.

Rosalind Rohr was in a good mood, “Sister-in-law, bringing mother some ginseng soup?”

“Yes.” Ava Kamani smiled at Rosalind Rohr, “Where are you heading?”
