/ Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot Chapter 1132
Chapter 1132: 303: Girlfriend at home is too strict! _1 Chapter 1132: 303: Girlfriend at home is too strict! _1 Who is Eleanor Armstrong?
She's the matriarch of the Lentz Clan.
A person in the spotlight.
How could she wear such a cheap pearl necklace?
Hearing this, Eleanor Armstrong immediately laughed and replied, “My third son bought me this necklace, and I love it.”
It doesn't matter how costly the gift is.
What's important is the heart behind it.
Plus, Eleanor Armstrong genuinely loves the pearl necklace Terrence Lentz gave her.
Hearing this, Charlotte Young turned to look at Terrence, then asked, “Terrence, the pearl necklace you bought for Mom must have been quite expensive, right? Why don't you show it to us?”
Eleanor Armstrong said, “It's the one I'm wearing around my neck right now! So, do you like it?”
At this moment, Eleanor Armstrong was just showing off the gift her son had given her, without realizing what Charlotte Young was hinting at.
“Oh, so it's the one you're wearing!” Sophie laughed, “I must be blind. Mom, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have thought you bought it from a street vendor!”
A pearl necklace worth a few dozen dollars, isn't that street-vendor stuff?!
It can't compare with the Jade Buddha.
Sophie was indirectly reminding Eleanor Armstrong about her own filial piety.
Terrence Lentz, who has no money or power and relies on the Lentz Clan for his livelihood, what can he offer to show respect to his parents?
If Eleanor Armstrong and Harlan Lentz had foresight, they would maintain their distance from Terrence, dividing the family fortune in two, not three.
After all, in the future, when Eleanor Armstrong and Harlan Lentz are old, Bartley Lentz and Len Lentz will be the ones providing for them.
As for Terrence Lentz, who can hardly support himself, how could he take care of his parents?
Hearing this, Eleanor Armstrong frowned slightly, “Sophie! What nonsense are you spouting off?! What do you mean by street stuff? The gift is light, but the love is heavy. No matter what you kids give me, in my eyes they are all priceless treasures!”
This daughter-in-law speaks with such unpleasant words!
Sophie quickly said, “Mom, don't get angry, that's not what I meant! Terrence, you won't mind what your sister-in-law says, right?”
Terrence Lentz remained indifferent, pursing his lips, but remained silent.
Charlotte Young laughed then said: “Sophie, don't worry. Our Terrence isn't the type to be petty about such matters.”
As Charlotte Young and Sophie took turns speaking, Charlotte continued further, “Terrence, the pearl necklace you bought for Mom, it must have cost a lot of money, right?”
“Not much.” Terrence Lentz replied softly.
Seeing this, Charlotte Young didn't ask any further, and chuckled, “Mom is right, the gift is light but the sentiment is heavy. The fact that you prepared a gift for Mom is already very remarkable!”
You can't expect too much from Terrence Lentz.
Remembering her promise to Kayla Sullivan, Charlotte asked again: “Terrence, did you invite Miss Thompson to come to Mom's birthday party?”
“No.” After he spoke, Terrence Lentz glanced at his watch, then said, “Mom, I have to leave for something.”
“Hmm, you go ahead!” Eleanor Armstrong nodded.
Sophie snorted in her heart.
Busy?
What could Terrence Lentz possibly be busy with?
Being a good-for-nothing?
She didn't know how Eleanor Armstrong could say such a thing.
What a joke!
After Terrence Lentz left, Eleanor Armstrong also turned and left.
Sophie walked over to Charlotte Young, watching Eleanor Armstrong's retreating figure, and lowered her voice, “Look at how biased she is. I gave her a Jade Buddha, and she didn't even show any appreciation for it! But the junk that good-for-nothing gave her, she is cherishing as a treasure!”
Thinking about this angered Sophie quite a bit.
Who would believe that there could be such a biased mother-in-law in this world without experiencing it firsthand!
Charlotte Young nodded, strongly agreeing with Sophie's words, and sarcastically said, “But who can blame him, he is her most cherished younger son! Tell me, what has that good-for-nothing brought to the company over the years? The two of them didn't even discuss it, just gave him one-third of the company's shares!”
Stopping for a moment, Charlotte Young continued, “And that's just what's visible. Who knows how much they have secretly given to that good-for-nothing behind the scenes!”
The more Charlotte Young thought about it, the more upset she became, feeling that Eleanor Armstrong was extremely biased!
“They are all sons after all, why can't they just be fair? What's the point of this?”
Sophie sighed, “You said it! By the way, Charlotte, what did you give her?”
Charlotte Young replied, “My husband and I gave her a car, but she didn't even mention it!”
“How much did the car cost?” Sophie asked.
