Chapter 312
After ending the conversation, Ruby lay on her bed in a daze.
Other classmates had fought to prove their worth after learning of her identity. Yet, her tactic did not work
on Carlisle.
Ruby’s phone emitted a notification sound from MSN messenger. Thinking that Carlisle had texted her
again, she quickly picked up her phone to have a look.
But it wasn’t him.
Sarah: “Ruby, are you at home?”
It was a text from Sarah, Austin’s new girlfriend. It seemed that Austin really liked her. Otherwise, he
would not have passed Ruby’s MSN username to her.
Ruby: “Yes.”
Ruby simply responded.
Sarah: “I have nothing to do. I’d like to bring a few friends over to your house for some fun. What do you
think?”
Sarah had a company of her own now. She also owned a luxury car. However, she did not own a mansion.
Thus, she wanted to experience living in one as early as she could.
Ruby: “Sure. Come over then!”
Feeling bored, Ruby readily agreed.
Meanwhile, Carlisle had shut his eyes to rest in the car.
There was another notification on his phone. This time, it was a text from Wanda.
Wanda: “Carl, what are you doing?”
Seeing the way she affectionately addressed him, Carlisle grinned and replied playfully.
Carlisle: “I was thinking of you, of course!”
In that day and age, these replies were not too playful. Most of the youngsters would reply this way.
Young women did not socialize mych during the era of mobile phones and social networking. Hence,
their relationships could last for a very long time.
Once social media became popular, the flashy world would provide more distractions. Naturally, everyone would have more options.
Wanda glanced at the phone/screen with a radiant smile:
Wanda: “I was thinking of you too!”
Carlisle: “Are you done with your annual memorial visit?”
Chapter 312
Wanda: “Not yet. Uncle Sebastion and the rest aren’t here yet!”
Carlisle: “Uncle Sebastian?”
Wanda: “Yeah. Uncle Sebastian does business in Mocuwait. In fact, he’s far more talented than my dad!”
Carlisle: “Then, are your dad and your uncle on good terms?”
Wanda: “No. They have different values. Hence, they often argue and even fight over various matters.”
Carlisle: “That’s good!”
He had impulsively sent his reply. He regretted it within the next second. He thought it was a shame that he could not delete the message.
Wanda’s smile froze.
Wanda: “What?”
Carlisle: “I mistyped. What I meant was it’s not good. Brothers should always help and support each other. After all, a happy family would result in more successful endeavors!”
He hastily replied. Inwardly, though, he did not want them to be on good terms. He already faced a lot of
pressure.
If Carlisle had to go against Shein one day, and Sebastian Thompson came to his rescue, he would have a more challenging time.
Wanda: “Yeah, I always advise them, but they don’t listen to a single word!”
Wanda: “Uncle Sebastian and the rest have arrived. I need to go back to town. I’ll speak to you some
other time!”
The signal in town was not good. Hence, Wanda had deliberately run to the top of the hill at the back of town to text Carlisle.
Trodie Town was the Thompson family’s hometown.
Many generations ago, the Thompson family’s ancestors had made a fortune by selling peaches.
The Thompson family had established its business the way it was that day through the efforts of several generations. Trodie Town was no longer in poverty during Wanda’s grandfather’s generation.
Every household had built a villa by the time it was Shein’s generation. In fact, the people of Trodie Town had also preserved the Thompson family’s memorial hall very well.
When Wanda returned to her ancestral home, seven or eight black Mercedes cars were parked by the roadside. A large truck loaded with supplies such as rice, oil, and salt was parked at the front.
Wanda realized that Sebastian had outdone himself that year compared to the memorial visit from the year before.
Sebastian exited the car and chivalrously opened the back door. A dignified lady wearing a long dress. with a slit stepped out of the vehicle.
Chapter 312
She wore a gold necklace around her fair neck, looking haughty. She looked like a court minister serving
the king.
Wanda could not help but watch the scene play out in her mind.
“Sebastian, Yolanda,” Shein greeted with Zachary and Wanda in tow.
“Uncle Sebastian, Aunt Yolanda!” Zachary and Wanda greeted them.
Sebastian nodded nonchalantly.
The elegant lady, Yolanda Abbott, said disdainfully, “Is Josie absent again?”
