Chapter 1137: 303: Girlfriend at home is too strict! _6 Chapter 1137: 303: Girlfriend at home is too strict! _6 This kind of man is more worthy of her pursuit and affection.
Upon hearing this, Charlotte Young coldly hummed and said pointedly: “The third son is so inexperienced, especially when it comes to love! Now, Miss Thompson is no longer the adopted daughter of the Thompson Clan, and not everyone is as kind as you are. How could she possibly still be interested in our third son! Just wait and see! His tears will soon fall!”
“Sister, you shouldn't say that. Although I really like Brother Terrence, I hope more than anything that he can find happiness.”
Charlotte Young replied somewhat helplessly: “Happiness is something you have to strive for on your own, Kayla. Don't worry, once the third son is abandoned by Miss Thompson, he will realize your worth!”
“I hope so,” Kayla Sullivan said with a smile.
In appreciation for the ring Kayla had given her, Charlotte continued, “In fact, Kayla, you're so outstanding that you could meet someone even better! To be brutally honest, apart from his good looks, our third son is utterly useless. During my mother-in-law's birthday, your second sister-in-law and I both gave gifts worth seven to eight hundred thousand. Do you know what he gave?”
“What?” Kayla asked.
Charlotte said: “A pearl necklace. And not a good one either, just a cheap trinket with a single pearl.”
Kayla chuckled and said, “It's the thought that counts, right?”
Seeing that Kayla was unmoved, Charlotte didn't say anything more but advised: “Kayla, be careful when you drive on the road and stay safe.”
“Sure, sister,” Kayla replied.
Kayla drove away.
On the other side.
Terrence Lentz parked his car outside Adam Swantz's house to pick him up.
Upon receiving Terrence's message, Adam immediately grabbed his coat and headed downstairs.
Seeing this, Mrs. Swantz curiously asked, “Adam, where are you off to?”
“Terrence is here, waiting downstairs.”
Terrence?
Mrs. Swantz was taken aback, then realized that Adam's “Terrence” was Terrence Lentz.
She had always opposed Adam's association with Terrence, but Adam had never heeded her advice.
Out of helplessness, Mrs. Swantz could only let Adam follow his own inclination.
“Is that Lentz boy back?” Mrs. Swantz asked.
“Yes.” Adam nodded.
Mrs. Swantz sighed and said, “What good can you get by hanging out with him? You're always so obstinate. When the day comes that your family fortune is all taken away by the illegitimate child, you'll regret it!”
Despite Derek Swantz's respectful attitude towards her, Mrs. Swantz understood that a bastard child remained a bastard child, especially as Derek's intentions to claim the family wealth had been becoming increasingly evident in recent years.
Adam responded: “Let him take it away if he wants to, I don't care.”
He had never considered competing with Derek for the family properties.
As a man, he totally despised such underhand machinations.
With that response, Mrs. Swantz didn't know what else to say. She only commented, “The more you hang out with Terrence, the worse your reputation will get!”
“I don't care.” With that, Adam turned around and went downstairs.
He happened to run into Matthew Swantz and Derek Swantz who were discussing work as they were walking upstairs.
On spotting Terrence's car downstairs, Matthew looked at Adam with disappointment in his eyes.
He knew this son was hopeless.
One of these days, he would become a man like Terrence.
Derek didn't say a word, yet his narrowed eyes spoke volumes.
From the very beginning, he had never considered this half-brother of his a threat.
Adam arrived downstairs.
“Terrence!”
Terrence winded down the car window and said, “Get in.”
Adam sat in the passenger seat and while buckling his seat belt he asked, “Terrence, didn't your wife come back with you?”
“No,” Terrence responded curtly.
Adam, already accustomed to Terrence's character, went on to ask, “Will she be back for our mother's birthday? There are quite a few people waiting to see you made a fool of!”
