Chapter 1127: 302: International Top Research Expert!_2 Chapter 1127: 302: International Top Research Expert!_2 As the saying goes, never argue with a fool.
What else is there to say to someone like Terrence Lentz?
Charlotte Young nodded, “The third son, as long as you understand this.”
Watching Charlotte's departing figure, Eleanor Armstrong frowned slightly, immediately walked to Terrence's side, and softly comforted him, “Terrence, your sister-in-law always speaks with no sense of propriety, don't lower yourself to her level!”
“It's fine.”
Terrence's tone was indifferent, as if he hadn't taken this matter to heart.
Eleanor looked at Terrence, her eyes full of worry. Given Terrence's current situation, what he needed most was the care of his family, not ridicule.
Back in the day, when Terrence was hailed as a prodigy, the entire Lentz Clan basked in his glory. The eldest and second sons were in an especially enviable position, as they laid their foundations in the business world at that time.
One could say this.
If it weren't for Terrence back then, there would be no Lentz Clan today, and certainly no Bartley Lentz or Len Lentz.
Even the families of Charlotte Young and Sophie, the two sisters-in-law, had benefited from Terrence's fame.
It's a pity.
Now no one remembers those things!
Everyone only remembers Terrence as a good-for-nothing, who relies on the Lentz Clan for everything.
“Mom, I'm really fine,” Terrence seemed to think of something and took a jewelry box out of his bag, “I'm not sure what gift to get you, so I just picked this, see if you like it.”
Eleanor took the jewelry box with both hands, her face full of surprise, “For…for me?”
Terrence nodded slightly.
Eleanor opened the jewelry box.
Inside lay a pearl necklace.
The chain was made of white gold.
On it, a beautiful pearl was embedded.
The pink pearl necklace refracted colorful light under the lamp.
Although there was only one pearl, it was very elegant and more attractive than all the pearls Eleanor had ever seen.
“Thank you, third son. I love it!” Eleanor was overwhelmed with excitement, then said, “Help me put it on.”
Terrence took the necklace and helped Eleanor put it around her neck.
Eleanor epitomized the aura of a rich matron. With the pearl necklace, she looked even more luxurious.
“Does it look good?” Eleanor looked at Terrence, her eyes full of anticipation.
Terrence nodded slightly, “It looks good.”
Just two simple words,
but they deeply engraved in Eleanor's heart.
She instantly decided to wear this pearl necklace for a lifetime.
Charlotte Young lost more than thirty million on International Gambling Website and felt very upset. The friend she was supposed to meet was late, so she felt even more annoyed!
Just then, a surprised voice rang out, “Sister-in-law.”
This voice…
Sounded somewhat familiar.
Charlotte raised her head slightly and saw a beautiful face.
“Kayla?”
Kayla Sullivan smiled and said, “I thought I saw wrong out there! Didn't expect it to be you, sister-in-law.”
Kayla was too enthusiastic.
So enthusiastic that Charlotte became alert.
Why would Kayla be so friendly to her out of the blue?
Something wasn't right!
After all, she had nothing to offer that would make Kayla try to please her.
“Oh, it's Kayla,” Charlotte smiled and said, “I haven't seen you for a long time since I came back to the country. Where have you gone to make money?”
Kayla replied, “My grandmother fell sick, so I had to go back home with my mom.”
Charlotte nodded, “I see.”
“Yeah.”
Having said that, Kayla then added, “Sister-in-law, I made plans with someone else, so I have to go over there. Let's chat later.”
“Alright, go ahead.”
Kayla turned around and left.
Charlotte sat in her seat and continued to wait for her girlfriends.
On the other side.
Kayla's friend had already arrived. Upon seeing Kayla, she immediately asked with curiosity, “Kayla, who were you just talking to?”
No sooner had she finished speaking than Scarlett Taylor followed up, “Is that Terrence's sister-in-law?”
Kayla nodded.
Scarlett took a glance over there, “Kayla, are you close with the Lentz Clan?”
Others would have immediately denied it, but not Kayla. She nodded, “Terrence and I grew up together.”
Terrence?
Scarlett almost choked on her coffee.
“Kayla, he's the notorious good-for-nothing in our River City!”
Kayla appeared unconcerned and smiled, “That doesn't affect the bond we have from growing up together.”
