Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

Thinking about the past, Mrs. Sherman felt very sad.

If her son and daughter-in-law hadn’t left, perhaps she wouldn’t have had to intervene in these matters.

Trevor Sherman looked at Mrs. Sherman, and suddenly spoke, “It was Viola Thompson who told you about this, right?”

“What?” Mrs. Thompson was taken aback.

Trevor continued, “You’ve never been involved in the company’s affairs before.”

He couldn’t think of anyone else other than Viola.

After all.

Viola was the one who most hoped for Elizabeth Thompson’s misfortune.

If it were Elizabeth, she would never have been so heartless.

“This has nothing to do with Viola. Now we are talking about Emma’s situation, what does it have to do with Viola? Don’t try to change the subject!” Mrs. Sherman said.

“Whether it’s Viola or not, you know very well in your heart. I trust Emma just as much as you trust Viola.” Trevor was very serious.

It was the first time he had been so serious about a girl.

He believed that Elizabeth Thompson was worth it.

“Viola is trustworthy, but Emma is just getting close to you with ulterior motives. Why must you go against me?” Mrs. Sherman wished she could slap some sense into Trevor, “Just wait and see. The more you trust Elizabeth Thompson now, the more you’ll regret it in the future!”

Trevor thought that Mrs. Sherman’s words were utterly groundless.

How could he regret it?

“The one who should regret it is you.” Trevor’s tone was faint, even after knowing that Viola was the Great Master, his attitude towards her hadn’t changed much, “Sooner or later, you will see Viola’s true colors.”

Viola has always known that Trevor has been looking for the Great Master, but she has been desperately hiding herself.

Wasn’t she just trying to use this relationship to attract his attention?

Did she really think he didn’t know anything?

In contrast, Elizabeth was the most innocent of all.

Mrs. Sherman sighed, “I’ve said what I need to say, it’s up to you. You’re grown up now, your wings have hardened, I can’t control you anymore!”

These words made Trevor feel sad as he felt he was being morally kidnapped by her.

“Grandma, I’m just sticking to what I believe in.” Trevor was very headache, “Can you not force your thoughts on me? I don’t like it! Just like I will never interfere in your relationship with Viola!”

He hoped that she would respect him rather than constantly attacking him and denying Elizabeth.

“Do as you please!” Mrs. Sherman sighed.

Actions speak louder than words, she knew Trevor’s character and at this point, saying more would only make things worse and be unpopular.

Seeing Mrs. Sherman like this, Trevor wanted to say something, but considering that she had lost her husband and son in her middle age, he held back.

Seniors are still seniors.

He was determined to prove to Mrs. Sherman through his actions that his choice and support were not mistaken.

Trevor arrived at his study and after approving several documents, he had someone pack a meal and was about to bring it to Elizabeth Thompson.

Since the Thompson Clan had met with problems, even though he was helping out, Trevor was still very worried about Emma’s emotions. He was afraid she would become depressed, so he would visit her from time to time.

But this was the first time he was visiting the Thompson residence at night.

Thompson Clan’s residence.

Inside the Hall.

Olga was very worried and asked, “Emma, how’s everything going with the company?”

“Don’t worry, Mom. Trevor is helping.” said Elizabeth.

Apart from Trevor, she herself was quite capable in business, so the Thompson Group would not face any problems for the time being.

Olga looked at Elizabeth and continued, “I never thought Trevor would be so kind-hearted. In such a critical moment, he can still help our family.”

When the walls fall, everyone pushes.

Other than Trevor, the Thompson Clan currently had no other allies.

As for Trevor, Elizabeth Thompson must hold onto him tightly.

After saying this, Olga continued, “It’s all thanks to my daughter’s charm.”

She looked somewhat proud.

If it were someone else, would they have Elizabeth’s charm?

Olga was pleased to have such an excellent daughter.

Elizabeth smiled, “Trevor’s character has never been a problem. Moreover, he has no other female friends. True colors are shown in times of adversity, and at such a time, he would naturally not turn a blind eye.”

Although Trevor had never confessed anything to Elizabeth, she knew clearly that Trevor had long fallen deeply in love with her.

Seeing Elizabeth like this, Olga frowned slightly and immediately asked, “Emma, you don’t have feelings for Trevor, do you?”

As Trevor arrived at the door carrying the thermos, he heard the question and stopped. He listened carefully to Elizabeth’s answer.

At this moment, Trevor’s heart was racing.

Thump thump!

One beat after another.

Although he and Elizabeth hadn’t known each other for long, his feelings for her had long surpassed the limits of friendship.

The reason he had never revealed his feelings to Elizabeth was that he didn’t want to be abrupt.

Some words, once spoken, made a huge difference.

Without confessing his feelings, at least they could still be friends. But if he confessed, perhaps they couldn’t even be friends anymore.

Inside the house, Elizabeth chuckled lightly, her eyes filled with sarcasm, “How could I possibly fall for someone like him! To me, Trevor Sherman is nothing more than a stepping stone. And now is the time for this stepping stone to play its role.”

Upon hearing this.

Trevor outside the door felt a sudden ‘boom’ sound, as if struck by lightning, utterly chilled.

This .

He must have heard incorrectly. He was certain that he had misheard.

Elizabeth could not possibly be such a person.

Trevor tried hard to calm himself down and continued to listen.

The conversation inside went on.

Upon hearing her daughter’s answer, Olga breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, “Emma, as long as you say that, Mom is reassured. I was really afraid that you would accidentally fall in love with Trevor. Where is he worthy of you! If he shamelessly confesses his feelings to you, you must not let it cloud your judgment and accept him, alright? Just keep stringing him along until he helps us through this crisis.”

Girls of Elizabeth’s age are the easiest to fall into the trap of love.

Although the Sherman Family is also a prominent family in River City.

But compared with the real influential families, they still fall short.

After all, Elizabeth was destined to become Terrence’s wife!

“Don’t worry, Mom. I know.” Elizabeth’s voice remained gentle, but her words were chilling, “From the beginning, Trevor has been nothing more than a pawn in my hands. I mean, how could the pawn-controllers fall for such an insignificant pawn? It’s ridiculous!”
