Mandel Thompson, Samuel Thompson, and Edward Thompson were already studying a cake-making video. When they heard the door open, all three looked up.

Their movements were quite synchronized and they were all wearing the same aprons. The three Thompson brothers had somewhat similar facial features, creating a scene that was somehow hilarious.

Viola couldn’t help but smile.

The three brothers were utterly baffled.

What was Viola laughing at?

After a moment, Mandel chuckled and said, “Viola, come over here. We choose this type of cake design. What do you think?”

Viola walked over and said, “Sounds good. Let’s go with that.”

Once she finished speaking, Viola reached for an apron.

Edward immediately stopped her, “There’s no need for you to wear an apron, sis. You just need to direct us and we’ll get our hands dirty.”

Samuel nodded, “Bob’s right.”

With their three big brothers around, they surely can’t let their only sister do the work.

After all, they need to pamper their sister.

“Well, I obliged and will get my hands dirty.” Viola put down the apron and assumed the role of commander.

On the other side.

River City.

Eleanor Armstrong was in the living room, speaking on the phone with Terrence Lentz, “Terrence, have you spoken to Viola yet?”

Not knowing what was said on the other side of the call, Eleanor nodded, “Alright, your dad and I will wait for your notification. Don’t worry about the greeting gift, your dad and I will take care of it.”

“Don’t worry, we’ll handle it.”

“Just treat Viola well, don’t bully her! Oh, I tried sending you money yesterday, but found that I had a transfer limit.”

Eleanor would often transfer money to Terrence’s account. Yielding to the pressure, Terrence had the bank block all bank accounts belonging to Eleanor and Harlan Lentz.

So whenever Eleanor tries to transfer money to Terrence, she would be given a user restriction notice.

Upon hearing this, Terrence didn’t explain, “Mom, there’s no need to send me money. I have enough.”

Eleanor sighed, “You’ve always been like this since you were a child, always reporting the good and not the bad! I am your mother, there’s nothing between us that you can’t say. If there’s trouble, you have to tell me!”

Charlotte Young walked in through the door just in time to hear this conversation.

She snorted mentally.

Her mother-in-law is so biased!

All good things are always for her youngest son, as if she only has Terrence as her son!

Realizing that Eleanor was speaking with Terrence, Charlotte didn’t continue to walk in. Instead, she stood in a corner, carefully listening to the mother and son’s conversation.

Just then, Sophie walked in from the door.

Sophie had a bag in her hand, looking like she was in a good mood. She hadn’t noticed Charlotte in the corner and headed straight for the living room.

Just as Sophie was about to be discovered by Eleanor, Charlotte quickly grabbed Sophie’s hand.

Sophie turned her head and exclaimed in surprise, “Sister-in-law!”

Just as she was about to ask Charlotte why she had been stopped, Sophie was silenced by Charlotte, “Shh! Don’t speak!”

Sophie was smart and quickly felt that something wasn’t right. She immediately played along with Charlotte, lowering her voice, “Sister-in-law, what’s wrong?”

Charlotte looked at the living room, “Listen carefully.”

Eleanor’s voice was heard again, “That’s settled then, Terrence. I’ll wait for your call. You only need to ask Viola and her parents when they’re available, you don’t need to worry about the rest. Dad and I will arrange it.”

“Bye.”

With that, Eleanor ended the call.

Sophie looked confused, turning to Charlotte, “Sister-in-law, what’s going on? What is she arranging?”

Even though these sisters-in-law called each other “mom” very affectionately in public, they never had much regard for Eleanor, their mother-in-law.

Mother-daughter-in-law conflicts have been unresolved since ancient times.

Moreover, Charlotte and Sophie had always thought that Eleanor was too biased. The relationship between mother- and daughter-in-law had deteriorated further.

If it weren’t for their wish to inherit Eleanor and Harlan’s properties, they would probably have fallen out long ago.

Charlotte pulled Sophie outside, chuckling scornfully, “What else could she be arranging! Aren’t you clever enough to guess?”

Sophie laughed, “Sister-in-law, I really can’t guess. Stop keeping me in suspense!”

Charlotte looked back at the living room, continuing, “She was just talking to that good-for-nothing! She’s deluded enough to think about visiting Mr. and Mrs. Thompson! Maybe she was kicked in the head by a donkey!”
