Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

Chapter 981: 278: Retribution Arrives! _6

Viola Thompson was around his age, both of them being eighteen.

Yet Viola gave him an impression of an elder figure.

He became involuntarily reserved and cautious with his words in front of Viola.

Jem thought York was justifying himself with excuses, so he turned to Peter and asked, "What about you? Yorkshire admires Viola, what are your feelings towards her? You wouldn't be admiring her too, would you?"

Peter scratched his head, "I just think that Viola is quite impressive."

Jem was convinced that his roommates had both gone mad.

If not, how else could they have done such a crazy thing? He then warned, "If you guys have any brains left, quit the laboratory ASAP. Every experiment we do now will influence our credits. If Viola's laboratory gets canceled, what will happen to your credits?"

How would they graduate without credits?

York looked at Jem, "I appreciate your good intentions, but I still trust Viola."

Peter then also nodded firmly, "I trust her too!"

But his trust was not the same as York's.

York genuinely believed in Viola's ability.

For Peter, having the experience of being with such a beautiful person was already enough for him, even if they failed in the end, he would not regret it.

Lack of credits? They could just retake the subject later if they failed.

Jem was speechless, "Are you guys sure you are not running a fever?"

Peter laughed and replied, "Rest assured, we are doing fine."

Jem swallowed hard and then asked, "By the way, in your lab, there are only three of you including you guys, right?"

"Of course not!" Peter proudly retorted, "We have four people now!"

Jem had thought that the world wouldn't come up with a third fool.

Turned out, fools were everywhere.

Jem continued to ask, "The other person is also a male, right?"

Without even thinking, he knew for sure that the person willing to join the S Laboratory must be a male.

Because all these guys were attracted by Viola's beauty.

Men!

They indeed were creatures that thought with their lower halves.

Peter shook his head, "No, she is a female."

Jem didn't believe him for a second, "Stop talking nonsense!"

Even a ghost wouldn't believe it.

A girl?

A girl would voluntarily join the S Laboratory?

Impossible!

Looking somewhat helpless, Peter replied, "Well, if you don't believe it, that's fine."

On the other side, when Mila returned, she immediately shared the good news with her mother.

In the video chat.

Mila's mother was sitting there, her large blue eyes, looking very attractive.

If one didn't look closely, they wouldn't realize that Mila's mother was actually blind.

"Mom."

Hearing her daughter's voice, Lady Nasef was delighted, "Mila! My daughter! Is everything going well for you at school?"

"I'm doing very well, you don't have to worry." Mila then continued: "I joined our school's S Laboratory today. We are researching an experiment that can help the blind recover their vision."

Although the experiment had yielded no results so far.

The most feared thing for humans was the lack of hope.

Lady Nasef's condition had not been great in recent years, and she also had severe depression.

Mila said so to give her mother a glimmer of hope.

Hearing this, Lady Nasef was very excited and covered her mouth in surprise, "Oh! Really?"

"Absolutely, Mom. I believe that in the near future, you will be able to see the world clearly," Mila assured.

Due to genetic reasons, Lady Nasef was born blind.

Over the years, she has visited many hospitals. Every time she went with hope, but always returned with disappointment.

Her eyes welled up a bit, "Mila, the person I most want to see is you, my dear daughter."

Because of her congenital blindness, she was blinded even in her dreams.

She had never seen her daughter.

She didn't know what her friends and relatives looked like.

She lived in endless darkness every day, eating to keep herself alive. Day in and day out, such a life had no meaning.

This was not what Lady Nasef wanted.

She often thought, instead of living such a boring life, she would be better off dead.

Now, hearing Mila speak so, she was instantly spirited up.

Lady Nasef laughed and said, "Mila, from today onwards, mom will cooperate with the doctors and take the medication obediently. Mom must keep herself in the best condition to see the best of you."

"Good."

Seeing her mom like this, Mila knew her decision was right.

Mila's roommates overheard her conversation with Lady Nasef. When they finished the video call, one of them immediately asked, "Mila, were you trying to cheer your mom up, or did you actually join Viola's S Laboratory?"

The roommates found it quite unbelievable.

After all, no one ever thought that Viola's experiment could succeed.

Everyone took this as a joke.

Who would have thought there would be a silly person who would actually participate!

Moreover, this silly person was their roommate.

Mila looked at her roommates, "It's true."

The roommates' expressions were priceless, but ultimately they did not say much, simply stating, "Well, here's hoping everything goes well for you and the experiment is completed soon."

The words of blessing from their mouths were just a cover for the mockery in their hearts.

Just you wait!

Mila would regret it one day.

The reason they didn't warn Mila was because they wanted to see the look on her face when she regretted it.

That scene would definitely be entertaining.

"Thank you," Mila politely thanked them.

On the other side.

Rachel Barton, rejected by the person she loved the most, went out to drown her sorrows.

She held a bottle of alcohol in her hand, swaying and stumbling forward.

Her consciousness began to blur.

"They're all liars! Liars!" Rachel cried as she stumbled, slurring her words due to the alcohol, "Why, why doesn't Mr. White love me? Is it just because I'm not as pretty as Viola? Or is it because I don't have their family background?"

At that moment, two sly-looking youths popped out from the alley. They exchanged a glance, found a mutual understanding, and then focused their attention on Rachel.

The stillness of the night often impels one's recklessness.

The two youths studied Rachel carefully.

Although she wasn't dressed fancy, her face wasn't too bad.

The next second, the two of them approached Rachel from both sides, "It's boring for a pretty girl to drink alone! How about we keep you company?"

Rachel turned and looked at one of the ruffians. Under the wheedling influence of alcohol, she saw Mr. White's face on the ruffian's face and embraced him, crying, "Mr. White! Mr. White! You're here! You've finally come! Do you know, I love you so much! I really, really love you! Can't you just stay with me?"

The two ruffians didn't expect such a turn of events. They shared a glance and immediately led Rachel into a van nearby, "With you being so beautiful, how could we bear to leave you?"
