Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot
/ Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot Chapter 1121
Chapter 1121: 301: It's too late for regrets! _1 Chapter 1121: 301: It's too late for regrets! _1 As soon as she said this, Sophie Zhou turned her gaze to Charlotte Young.
The silence between them spoke volumes.
One look was all it took for Charlotte to understand what Sophie was trying to convey.
Immediately, Charlotte echoed, laughing, “Sophie is right, mum, I think you cannot hide this from Miss Thompson. After all, the whole of River City knows about the engagement between the third son and Miss Thompson. If she doesn't come on your birthday, they might stir up all sorts of rumors behind our back! People are ready to criticize, mum! Moreover, the situation with our third son is slightly different from others.”
To say he is different is an understatement.
In reality.
Who in River City doesn't know that Terrence Lentz is a good-for-nothing?
A man in his late twenties.
Idling around all day, not only does he have no steady job, he didn't even pass high school.
It's fortunate that the Lentz family is rich, so they can afford to keep such a good-for-nothing.
For an ordinary family.
Like Terrence, with no education, no skills, and disability, not even a factory would want him for simple tasks like screwdriving. He would probably be scavenging trash to make a living.
Charlotte Young and Sophie Zhou, having been married into the Lentz family for over a decade, never really considered Terrence as their brother.
They had long ago wished to separate themselves from his shadow.
Such a pity.
Patriarch Lentz firmly disagreed.
Eleanor Armstrong knew that these two daughters-in-law looked down upon Terrence. Even though Terrence had been a bit unsteady in recent years,
Regardless, he was her own son.
As a mother, Eleanor Armstrong would never abandon her own child.
She was somewhat angry.
It was one thing for outsiders to deem Terrence a good-for-nothing.
Who were Charlotte Young and Sophie Zhou?
They were Terrence's sisters-in-law.
If even his own family did not respect Terrence, how could they expect outsiders to stop looking down on him?
Eleanor Armstrong frowned subtly, continuing, “What outsiders say or think isn't important, as long as Viola isn't one of them. Charlotte, Sophie, you two are Terrence's sisters-in-law, and he is the youngest. As the saying goes, an elder sister-in-law is like a mother. I hope you both can rise to this occasion.”
Eleanor Armstrong paused, “Our Terrence was once the famous prodigy of River City, he is just in a slump now! I believe he will bounce back and make a great success!”
Terrence Lentz actually had a good foundation.
He was often interviewed by several TV stations before he was thirteen.
If not for that accident, he would have been at the pinnacle of success now.
As a mother, Eleanor Armstrong had always had an inexplicable trust in Terrence.
She believed that the present difficulties were just temporary.
Terrence Lentz would surely dazzle everyone someday.
Hearing this, a mocking smile glimmered in the eyes of Charlotte Young and Sophie Zhou.
Huge success?
Him, that good-for-nothing Terrence Lentz?
Men should establish themselves at thirty, Terrence wasn't very far from that age either.
Sophie snorted in her heart, “Mum, I can understand how you feel. After all, the third son is your own flesh and blood. It's quite natural, as the saying goes, 'Mother's love for the youngest child is incomparable'. However, some issues are not going to change just because you believe in the third son.”
Just like Liu Bei in ancient times.
Liu Bei was indeed a great hero. Alas, his son Liu Shan wasn't competent enough. Even with the divine assistance of Zhuge Liang, his fate as a good-for-nothing was irrevocable.
It's apparent from this.
A good-for-nothing will always remain so.
Even with more time, he can never become elite.
The same goes for Terrence Lentz.
He is destined to remain a good-for-nothing till the end.
Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships are naturally adversarial.
Eleanor Armstrong and her two daughters-in-law were no exceptions.
Living under the same roof, they had accumulated countless issues over the years.
But mostly, they both agreed that Eleanor Armstrong and her husband Harlan Lentz were too partial.
Now, Harlan Lentz had already started drafting his will with a lawyer.
After he passed, the family property would be divided into three parts.
Each of the three sons would get one part.
Of course, Terrence Lentz was also included.
When this will was revealed, Bartley Lentz, the eldest son, and Len Lentz, the second son, were infuriated.
Why should Terrence Lentz inherit any of Patriarch Lentz's estate?
All these years, he lived off the Lentz's wealth without lifting a finger.
Even if he inherited the estates, he would surely squander them away.
Instead of that.
The Lentz's property should be divided into two parts.
Each brother should get one part.
