Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot C.491 - : 174: Big, Boss? (Second Update)

Chapter 491: 174: Big, Boss? (Second Update)

The handsome man suddenly appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of Viola Thompson, offering her a ride.

This left Fiona Knight and Diana Hershey dumbstruck.

A moment later, Diana Hershey reacted and pulled Fiona Knight over to Viola Thompson, her eyes flashing with gossipy curiosity, “Beautiful Thompson, do you know him?”

Having said that, she looked at Terrence Lentz, sizing him up and down.

The man was tall and had long legs.

He was well-proportioned.

He was wearing a simple white shirt and black suit pants. Despite the simplicity of his attire, he exuded an untouchable and cold aura.

He was like the domineering CEO male lead from a romance novel.

But his words were somewhat unreliable. Offering Viola Thompson a ride at the airport?

Using what?

A shuttle bus?

Diana Hershey looked away, “You just said you’re going to give Beautiful Thompson a ride?”

“Yes.” Terrence Lentz nodded slightly.

Diana Hershey looked at him, “What are you going to use? This is an airport! Does your family own a plane?”

Terrence Lentz remained calm, “My family doesn’t.”

Diana Hershey was just about to mock him, thinking he wanted to pursue Beautiful Thompson even though he didn’t even have a plane!

Little did she know, the man’s thin lips parted and he continued, “But I do.”

Diana Hershey:

Boss?

As Terrence finished speaking, he looked at Viola Thompson, “Where to?”

Viola glanced at the time on her phone, “Rimount City. Do you have time?”

“I do.”

Viola Thompson turned her gaze back to Diana Hershey and Fiona Knight, “Diana, Fiona, I’ll go ahead. You two can go back and wait for my message.”

Now time was pressing.

She had to get to Rimount City immediately.

Diana Hershey nodded, “Alright, Beautiful Thompson, you two get going.”

As Viola Thompson and Terrence Lentz walked away, Diana Hershey and Fiona Knight looked puzzled.

Who was this man standing next to Viola Thompson?

Was he pursuing her?

Terrence Lentz had his own private jet.

It was huge.

It could accommodate 300 people.

The interior had been remodeled.

Inside, there was a restaurant, a lounge, and a billiards room.

Even the private jet of the Thompson Clan couldn’t compare to its luxury.

The two took the VIP route.

The flight attendant led the way enthusiastically.

“Sir, Miss, please watch your step. There are stairs up ahead.”

Viola Thompson and Terrence Lentz walked side by side, “It’s a good thing you arrived in time, otherwise, I would have to wait for tomorrow’s flight.”

Terrence Lentz’s lips curved slightly in response.

He was delighted.

He could appear in time to help when she needed it.

“By the way, do you have something urgent in Rimount City?”

“Yes.” Viola Thompson nodded slightly and briefly explained Rachel Barton’s situation to Terrence Lentz.

Hearing this, Terrence Lentz frowned slightly, pulled out his phone, and sent a message.

After boarding the plane, Viola Thompson sent a message to Diana Hershey and Fiona Knight: [I’m on the plane now, I’ll contact you when I land.]

[Okay, have a safe trip.]

After receiving the replies from Diana Hershey and Fiona Knight, Viola Thompson set her phone to airplane mode.

Just before switching to airplane mode, she received an incoming call.

The call was from Rimount City.

Viola Thompson immediately answered, “Hello.”

Dolores Frieman’s voice came from the other end, “This is Dolores Frieman. Are you on the plane now? How long until you arrive in our town?”

Hearing this, Viola Thompson glanced at the time, “About four hours.”

She had checked the travel time before coming.

It would take two and a half hours by plane.

It would take more than an hour to drive from the destination to the town.

“Alright, we’ll be in touch when you get to the town.”

After hanging up, Dolores Frieman immediately turned off her phone and hid it in a pocket close to her body.

Inside the house.

Jacob Winslet had already noticed his phone was missing and was looking for it.

“Theresa, have you seen my phone?”

Theresa Winslet shook her head, “No.”

Jacob Winslet was anxious, even though the old phone wasn’t worth much, it was still a considerable expense for someone with little labor to offer.

After all, he still had two children to raise.

There was a lot of pressure.

“Dolores, have you seen my phone?”

“Why would I have seen your phone?” Dolores Frieman’s attitude was not good, “You can’t even take care of a phone. What good did it do you to be reincarnated as a human? Useless!”

Over the years, Dolores Frieman had learned to arm herself with a fierce persona.

Only in this way.

Could she better protect herself.

In the first few years with Sid Winslet, Dolores Frieman had suffered a lot, but she was mostly resigned to her fate.

Dolores Frieman knew very well that her life was just like this.

Hearing this, Sid Winslet didn’t say anything else and continued to look for his phone.

As he grew older, many things had become too much for him to handle.

He searched many places but couldn’t find the phone.

Sid Winslet frowned slightly.

Where could the phone have gone?

Could it have been lost while working in the field today?

Although it was already dark outside, Sid Winslet still went out to the fields, using the moonlight to search for his phone.

Seeing Sid Winslet leave, Dolores Frieman narrowed her eyes, called Theresa Winslet over, and whispered in her ear.

Hearing this, Theresa Winslet nodded.

“Alright.””Then mom will leave first.”

Olsand Village is about 12 kilometers away from the town. There is no public transportation in the village. If people want to go to the town, they either walk or take private cars.

Those in better conditions can ride electric bikes or motorcycles.

But Dolores Frieman’s family doesn’t even have a bicycle, let alone an electric bike, and they can’t afford a private car. So they can only walk there.

It takes about three hours to walk there.

So she has to hurry to the town now.

Although the summer moonlight and stars are good, Dolores still brings a flashlight.

However, as she walks through the village, she is afraid of drawing attention, so she doesn’t turn on the flashlight.

Dolores walks hastily.

Unfortunately,

The mountains are high, the roads are long.

Halfway there, a sudden gust of mountain wind rises, and dark clouds gather in the sky.

Dolores looks up at the sky with a slight frown.

The June weather changes like a child’s face. It looks like it’s going to rain!

Dolores quickens her pace and trots along the way.

But even so, she still can’t outrun the rain.

In no time,

The sky starts pouring down rain.

Accompanied by the mountain wind.

This heavy, urgent rain and gusty mountain wind wrap around the trees in the mountains, producing weird shrieks.

It sends chills down one’s spine.

The sky dims completely, with the stars and moon hidden by dark clouds. The only source of light left is Dolores’s flashlight.

Even Dolores, who has grown up in the mountains, feels scared in such an environment.

However, for her sister’s sake,

She can only grit her teeth and persist.

Bang!

At that moment, as she’s not paying attention, she slips and falls down.

Her whole body lands in the mud.

It’s quite a mess.

But at this point, Dolores can’t even feel the pain. Her first reaction is to protect her phone.

If she loses her phone, she won’t be able to find someone to save Rachel.

Luckily, she has wrapped the phone up in a plastic bag.

Dolores continues to run forward, braving the wind and rain.

As long as she can pull Rachel out of that mud pit, she is willing to do anything.

She now just hopes to reach the town quickly.

The storm gets stronger and stronger.

It adds more difficulties and obstacles to Dolores’s journey.

Still, she never thinks of giving up.

Along the way, she can’t remember how many times she has fallen. In the end, her flashlight stops working…

At ten o’clock in the evening,

The plane lands in Rimount City airport as scheduled.

Viola Thompson immediately dials the number from Rimount City.

However, she hears the automated message: “The number you have dialed has been shut off…”

Viola slightly frowns.

Although the other party’s number has been disconnected, their trip cannot be delayed.

As soon as she opens the taxi-hailing app, Terrence Lentz says, “I’ve already arranged the car.”

“Then let’s go quickly.”

“Okay.” Terrence follows Viola’s pace.

As they exit through the VIP passage, they see three cars waiting outside.

Terrence leads Viola into the first car.

On the other side,

Dolores Frieman finally arrives in the town, dragging her heavy footsteps.

She takes out the phone wrapped in a plastic bag, wipes her hands on her not-so-clean clothes, and then calls Viola.

Viola quickly picks up on the other end.

“I’ll wait for you at the crossroads in the town. There’s no one at night, so when you arrive, the person you see is me.”

“Okay.” Viola responds: “We’ll be there soon.”

After receiving Dolores’s call, Viola breathes a sigh of relief.

The car speeds up.

Viola stares out the window the whole time.

In no time,

The car finally arrives in Olsand Town.

As the headlights sweep across, Dolores instinctively covers her eyes with her hand.

It’s raining outside.

Fearing that Viola won’t find her when she arrives, Dolores dares not find a place to shelter from the rain and can only stand at the crossroads.

“It’s Rachel’s sister,”

Viola says.

Terrence instructs the driver to pull over next to her.

Viola immediately opens the car door and gets out, “Is it Rachel’s sister? My name is Viola Thompson, and I’m Rachel’s good friend.”

The woman in front of her is dressed in tattered clothes, covered in mud, and her hair is a mess. She looks very disheveled.

“It’s me.” Seeing Viola, Dolores instinctively steps back.

This is an act of inferiority.

She never expected Rachel’s friend to be so beautiful and elegant.

Unexpectedly, Viola reaches out and grabs Dolores’s hand, “Sister, let’s get in the car first.”

“But I…”

She’s filthy.

At this moment, Terrence comes over with an umbrella, shielding the two from the wind and rain, “There are dry towels in the car. Saving people is more important now.”

Only then does Dolores get into the car.

The interior of the commercial vehicle is quite spacious.

Terrence sits in the front, leaving the space in the back for the two women.

Viola hands Dolores a dry towel to wipe her face.

Dolores takes the towel but doesn’t wipe her face right away. Instead, she tightly grabs Viola’s hand. “Miss Thompson, our village’s situation is very complicated. I beg you not to give up on my sister, no matter what. You must take her out of this mountain.”

“My life is already like this; I can rot in the mud, but my sister can’t. Please!”

At the end of her plea, Dolores unexpectedly kneels down in front of Viola.
