Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

Chapter 561: 196: May I ask Miss Thompson (Nine Updates)_3

Upon hearing this, the elite ladies beside Viola Thompson immediately turned their gazes towards Lana Stone.

Surprise was painted all over their faces.

Even though Lana Stone had been living overseas for several years, as one of the few top talents who received an admission invitation from Capital University, she was a grand figure during her time.

Sylvia Thompson covered her mouth, “Lana, you also received an invitation from Capital University?”

“Yes,” Lana Stone nodded.

Sylvia continued, “I had no idea! Lana, you really keep things under wraps.”

“It’s not something significant to boast about. There’s no need to make such a fuss about it.” Lana Stone glanced at Viola, continuing, “Besides, I didn’t pass Capital University’s re-examination back then.”

She was obviously suggesting that Viola was too ostentatious.

Truly talented individuals always keep a low profile.

Surely not like Viola!

Creating an uproar all over town without achieving anything.

An absolute clown.

Sylvia chuckled and said, “Receiving an invitation from Capital University is already quite an achievement!”

“It’s nothing impressive.” Lana responded with a nonchalant tone.

The other elite ladies gazed at Lana with envy.

Lana Stone was amazing!

Ordinary individuals would find it extremely challenging to receive an invitation from Capital University.

Now that two outstanding students were standing face to face, it was such a rare sight.

Soon after,

All the guests had arrived.

The banquet officially began.

Tonight, the Thompson Clan had invited the renowned TV presenter, Tyler, to host the banquet.

Tyler’s humorous language had everyone in the room laughing heartily.

“Now let’s give a warm welcome to the star of the night, Miss Thompson, for a speech. Ladies and Gentlemen, let’s give her a big hand!”

While chatting with Flora Tiarks, Viola Thompson was taken aback.

Her parents hadn’t told her about this part of the banquet.

Flora Tiarks laughed and said, “Go on Vio!”

If it was someone else who had this opportunity, they would have rushed on stage already.

But Viola Thompson,

She just stood there stunned.

With a gentle push from Flora Tiarks, Viola Thompson walked onto the stage.

She started off with an official thanks to the guests who had made time for the event.

Even though she did not prepare beforehand,

She was still composed and gracious, facing the guests without any sign of nervousness.

Her voice was soft, like the fresh breeze in April, refreshing everyone present.

She was indeed a natural born queen.

The spotlight shone on her, and she glowed like a phoenix rising from the ashes.

“Miss Thompson is so beautiful!”

“What’s important is that she is also intelligent.”

“If I had a face like hers, I’d wake up smiling even in my dreams.”

“What’s the use of being pretty? Do you think Capital University will accept her just because she’s beautiful?”

Obviously, that would never be the case.

“I heard she only filled in one choice in her College Entrance Examination form, such youth, lacking in experience!”

There were all kinds of voices below the stage.

When someone is extraordinary and stands at the top, everyone waits for that person to fall.

Because only those standing high can have a disastrous fall.

Tyler handed the microphone to Viola Thompson and added, “Miss Thompson, many of us are curious about how you managed to secure first place in six subjects. Can you share with us your usual study routines?”

Viola didn’t say much, she simply replied, “Diligence makes up for deficiencies.”

Her modest and composed demeanor immediately won the approval of the guests.

If it were someone else, they would probably talk on and on.

Even though she only spoke four words,

They held weight.

“Miss Thompson really is a person of great talent,” Lana Stone rose from her seat and smiled, “I have been bothered by a problem for a while now, may I ask Miss Thompson for guidance?”
