Chapter 446: 163: His person, he dotes on them_6
Mary said, “Viola, let’s eat first. We’ll go to the examination venue together after the meal.”
“Okay.” Viola sat down to eat.
Mrs. Thompson walked out of her room, handing something to Viola, “Viola, this is a charm that grandma specifically obtained for you from the temple. Keep it in your pocket, and the Bodhisattva will bless you with a smooth College Entrance Examination!”
“Alright.” Viola nodded with a smile.
Mary said, “Mom, you’re being superstitious!”
Who would have thought that such a dominant female general on the battlefield would indulge in feudal superstitions if they hadn’t witnessed it for themselves?
Mrs. Thompson immediately put her hands together, “No offense, Bodhisattva, one who is ignorant is innocent.”
She then turned to Mary, “Shut up.”
At that moment, Mary’s mobile phone beeped.
It was a group chat with the parents of the senior year students.
Although Mary had only been in River City for a few days, she had already become familiar with the parents in Viola’s class group chat.
Today was the day of the College Entrance Examination, and the parents were all very excited.
[Remember to wear qipao (traditional Chinese dresses) today moms!]
[It symbolizes triumph!]
[Wishing our children success in today’s exams, to perform beyond expectations, and achieve victory.]
Seeing this message, Mary immediately put down her chopsticks and walked towards her room.
Mrs. Thompson curiously asked, “Why aren’t you eating anymore?”
Mary replied, “I’m going to change my clothes.”
Luckily, she had brought a qipao.
In a short while, Mary came out of the room in her changed attire, a qipao.
Being a daughter raised in a prominent family, Mary exuded an even stronger scholarly aura when dressed in a qipao.
Mrs. Thompson curiously asked, “Why did you change into a qipao?”
Mary replied, “The parents in the group chat said that wearing a qipao symbolizes triumph.”
Mrs. Thompson chuckled, “Oh, but you don’t believe in superstitions.”
Mary:
The old lady held a grudge.
In order not to stand out too much among the parents, Mary specifically arranged for a low-key BMW.
The examination venue was at the No.1 Middle School next to North Bridge High School.
They arrived quite quickly in less than an hour.
Diana Hershey and Rachel Barton were also assigned to this school.
By the time Viola arrived, the two girls were already waiting for her at the school entrance.
Diana and Rachel greeted Mary and Mrs. Thompson politely.
Mrs. Thompson also liked these two girls very much, “Diana, Rachel, you both have to do your best today!”
“Okay, Mrs. Thompson.”
Diana’s mother, Charlotte Taylor, was also there.
It was the first time she had met Mary.
However, they had communicated on WhatsApp before. She looked at Mary and said with a smile, “Viola’s mother, you are so elegant!”
No wonder Viola is so beautiful.
“Thank you, Diana’s mother. You are also very beautiful.”
Being complimented on her beauty, Charlotte was quite pleased, and the two women who had never met before started to chat.
Watching the two of them converse.
Rachel looked up slightly.
She was wondering if her mother would have common topics to talk about with Charlotte and Mary if she were still around.
Diana glanced at her wristwatch, “The exam is in half an hour, shall we go in now?”
“Okay.” Viola nodded slightly.
The other students started to enter the examination venue one after another.
It was bustling with people.
The parents were all cheering their children on.
“The result is not important, as long as you have tried your best today.”
“Your mom and grandma will be waiting for you here.”
Rachel felt even more out of place.
She lowered her head.
After all, she was just a teenager. Saying that she wasn’t upset would be a lie.
At that moment, Mary came over and gave her a hug, “Rachel, do your best!”
In that instant, Rachel’s eyes were slightly red.
Seeing Mary hugging Rachel, Mrs. Thompson seemed to have thought of something, and immediately took out a charm from her pocket, “Rachel, take this with you. It’s a safety charm that will ensure your exams go smoothly.””Thank you, Grandma Thompson.” Rachel expressed her thanks politely.
Even though her parents didn’t come, Mary Perryne and Mrs. Thompson brought her a different kind of warmth.
When all the students entered the examination hall, the parents waiting outside started to chat.
At the roadside, traffic police were working hard.
On the day of the College Entrance Examination, all the roads near the school forbade cars from honking their horns.
The gaze of some parents was drawn to the tall figure standing on the camphor tree.
The man was wearing sunglasses, revealing only his high nose and lips pressed into a line.
He was about 1.9 meters tall.
Although the face was not clear, the powerful aura around him still made people shudder.
His gaze was always on the figure in front of him.
Just at this moment.
The girl who had been walking in front turned around suddenly. Their eyes met; she gave a light smile and her dimples showed slightly.
It was truly a charming and captivating smile.
Soon, her figure disappeared into the crowd ahead.
The man remained standing under the camphor tree.
He hadn’t left during this period.
At half-past eleven.
The first round of the exam ended.
The parents tacitly didn’t ask their children how they did on the exam.
The afternoon exam began at three o’clock.
Charlotte Taylor and Mary Perryne had booked rooms and lunch at a nearby hotel.
Viola glanced in the direction of the camphor tree, “Mom, Grandma, I’m going to find a friend over there, wait for me.”
“Okay.” Mary Perryne nodded, “Go quickly.”
Viola ran to the camphor tree.
She specifically went behind him and patted his shoulder.
Terrence Lentz glanced back, but there was no one behind him.
His brows furrowed slightly.
Was it an illusion?
Just as he was wondering, the girl squatting on the ground chuckled.
“You’re so silly.”
The man also smiled helplessly and extended his hand to her, “Get up.”
His hand was very beautiful.
Fair and slender with proportionate joints and clearly defined muscles – a hand shape that was hard to forget once you saw it.
Seeing the hand extended to her, Viola placed her hand on his.
The girl’s hand was much smaller than expected, very soft, very delicate, and very comfortable to hold… as if it could be crushed with just a little force.
Having a beauty at your side was indeed distracting.
He pulled her up from the ground and quickly let go, although he was somewhat reluctant.
However.
There would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Terrence Lentz slightly opened his lips and then spoke, “Go back quickly, don’t let your mom and your grandmother wait too long.”
“Sure.” Viola nodded slightly.
As she finished speaking, Terrence Lentz asked, “By the way, which hotel are you staying in?”
“The Scherf Hotel near the school.”
“Ok.”
Although the hotel was fully booked at this time, Terrence Lentz had his ways.
Terrence Lentz watched Viola walk back to Mary Perryne and Mrs. Thompson, then he left.
The hotel was about 500 meters away from the school.
It would take about seven or eight minutes to walk there.
The road was crowded at this time.
The adults walked in front while Viola, Diana Hershey, and Rachel walked behind.
Just then, Viola noticed the tall figure in front. She raised an eyebrow slightly, quickened her pace, slightly raised her hand, her soft fingertips lightly brushed against his palm as if she was electrocuted, then quickly pulled back her hand, pretending nothing had happened, and continued to chat and laugh with Diana and Rachel.
Feeling a slight itch in his palm, the man’s eyebrows furrowed. His handsome face seemed to be covered in frost. But when he saw her calm and unflustered face, he lost his temper.
Capital City.
Mandel Thompson’s office.
The assistant pushed the door and came in.
“Boss.”
Mandel Thompson nodded slightly and put down the document in his hand, “How’s the investigation going?”
