Chapter 1304: 330: She is the absolute authority!_4 Chapter 1304: 330: She is the absolute authority!_4 “You impertinent girl! You’re putting on quite a show!”

Yes.

She was indeed at fault here.

However that may be, she was still of the same generation as Sally Bennett.

Viola Thompson was two generations junior to her!

For a younger generation to arrogantly demand an elder to bow and apologize is nothing short of preposterous.

“Granny, don’t be hasty to anger,” Thompson rose to his feet, patting Lady Thompson’s back. “Actually, you can’t blame Miss Thompson for being upset. For a young lady, her reputation is everything. But we accused her, without differentiating right from wrong, of lacking self-respect and shamelessness. No one would tolerate such accusations.”

After saying that, Thompson paused, and continued, “Consider it from another angle. If I traveled all the way from Ewik Land to Capital City to visit Lady Thompson, and the Thompson family in Capital City, disregarded me completely, mocked and derided me, and finally launched personal attacks on me, saying that I had no shame, how would you feel?”

One who is not in pain cannot appreciate the meaning of suffering – don’t preach about the virtues of pulling others up when you cannot understand their despair.

The old Thompson had only understood the superficial meaning of this, but now, she realized its true essence.

Upon hearing this, Lady Thompson immediately replied, “I’ll fight the Thompson family in Capital City to the death!”

Who dares to bully her precious granddaughter?

Thompson nodded, “Granny, you’ve always seen me as your precious granddaughter, refusing to let anyone bully me. Ever thought that Viola is also a cherished granddaughter, cradled and spoiled by the Thompson matriarch?”

Hearing this, Lady Thompson was stunned.

Thompson continued, “Actually, Miss Thompson has already been quite respectful. Granny, have you ever thought about the consequences if the entire Sacred Medical Hall turns against us? At least now, Miss Thompson hasn’t interfered with me hanging out with Nathaniel Besian.”

This implies Viola was a rather reasonable person.

At the same time, she was also magnanimous.

Anyone else might not have been able to act as magnanimously as Viola.

“Vicki,” Lady Thompson was somewhat confused about Thompson’s intentions. She turned her head to look at Thompson, asking, “Then do you have a better plan to reconcile with Miss Thompson?”

“The best plan would be…” Thompson paused again, mulling over her choice of words.

Seeing her hesitate, Lady Thompson became impatient, “Would be what?”

Thompson replied, “To apologize to Miss Thompson, with you accompanying me.”

What?

She was expected to apologize to Viola Thompson?

For a moment, Lady Thompson thought she must be hearing things.

“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”

Lady Thompson’s expression changed instantly.

Thompson let out a soft sigh.

Lady Thompson stared at Thompson, “Vicki, I’ve always known you to be an understanding, obedient, and empathetic child. So why have you changed now? To apologize to that girl? Who does she think she is? When her grandmother, Sally Bennett, and I were fighting shoulder to shoulder, she was still nowhere to be found!”

The disappointment was clear in Lady Thompson’s eyes while looking at Thompson.

She never thought that Thompson could say such a thing.

Lady Thompson was furious, she continued, “She wants me to apologize to her? That would only happen when it rains red rain or the Yangtze River flows backward!”

“Granny, you’re being impulsive,” Thompson’s voice was still gentle, “It’s not as complicated as you imagine. I’m not asking you to apologize. I’m just asking you to accompany me for a visit to Miss Thompson’s. You’re the elder, she’s the junior, why argue about trivialities?”

In truth, this wasn’t even that complicated.

As long as Lady Thompson clarified her stance, it would suffice.

After all, everyone had to pay the price for their words and actions.

Wrongdoings have to be penalized.

However, Lady Thompson was as stubborn as an old ox. Once her mind was set, nothing could change it.

Lady Thompson turned red with indignation, “Just because I’m her elder, I cannot bow and apologize! I never even conceded to her grandmother, Sally Bennett, and now I should apologize to her? In your dreams!”

Viola Thompson was extraordinarily stubborn.

She lacked the wisdom and tolerance of a junior!

Regardless, she was a woman of ninety years while Viola was merely a teenager. If she were to apologize to Viola, wouldn’t Viola be afraid of losing her life?

Moreover, Sally Bennett was her companion in battle. Viola’s actions were nothing short of treasonous.

The more Lady Thompson thought about it, the more angry she became. She pointed at the wall and retorted, “How could Sally Bennett raise such a granddaughter?!”
