Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot
/ Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot Chapter 1410
Chapter 1410: 353: Let no one reach you!_3 Chapter 1410: 353: Let no one reach you!_3 Upon hearing this, Sophie's face was filled with disbelief.
She too thought her mother-in-law had gone crazy!
It was normal for young Viola Thompson to be incapable of discerning people's characters, but what kind of people were Sawyer Thompson and Mary Perryne?
One was the head of the Thompson clan, the other was the mistress of the Thompson family!
Who hadn't they met before?
How could a good-for-nothing like Terrence Lentz possibly catch their eye?
A good-for-nothing like Terrence Lentz probably doesn't even qualify to be a servant for the Thompson family!
Yet they dared to dream of becoming related to the Thompsons.
Absolutely absurd!
“Did she really say that?” Sophie asked.
“Exactly,” replied Charlotte Young. “I heard it with my own ears. Can there be any doubt? She asked that good-for-nothing to let Miss Thompson ask Mr. and Mrs. Thompson to choose a suitable day to visit them in Capital City!”
Sophie was speechless and frowned. “What on earth are they thinking? Don't they know their own son's worth? They even dare to do such a thing!”
“You said it!” Charlotte Young scoffed. “They seem to think that good-for-nothing is some sort of treasure! They'll only end up humiliating themselves!”
The Thompson family would absolutely never marry Viola to a good-for-nothing like Terrence Lentz.
Not to mention the Thompsons.
Even a typical wealthy family would avoid someone like Terrence Lentz like the plague.
Such a shame.
That couple just can't get a clue.
Sophie laughed, “As daughters-in-law, we can't interfere in this sort of matter. They'll have to learn the hard way!”
The best thing they could do at a time like this was sit back and watch the show.
After all, it had nothing to do with them.
Charlotte Young nodded, “You're right.”
People need to experience certain things to grow up. Someone like Eleanor Armstrong needed to taste some hardship.
Otherwise, she might actually believe that good-for-nothing was something special!
In a moment, the two sisters-in-law walked into the hall together.
Eleanor Armstrong was in a good mood, the corners of her mouth slightly raised. Seeing her two daughters-in-law return, she greeted them, “Charlotte, Sophie, you're back.”
Charlotte Young, feigning ignorance, asked with a smile, “Mom, what has made you so happy?”
Eleanor Armstrong didn't hide anything from her daughters-in-law. “Your father and I are planning to go to Capital City soon to finalize the marriage between our third son and Viola.”
Upon hearing this, Sophie said, “Mom, this is a cause for celebration! By the way, when are you and dad going to Capital City? As the elder siblings, we certainly can't go empty-handed for our younger brother's engagement!”
“You're right, Sophie. Mom, when you go, make sure to tell us in advance. Sophie and I will also prepare some gifts for you to take.”
Upon hearing this, Eleanor Armstrong looked at her two daughters-in-law.
Why was the sun suddenly rising from the west today?
The two of them usually were very calculative about everything. But today, they suddenly became so generous, even offering to prepare gifts voluntarily.
This was so unlike Sophie and Charlotte.
Before Eleanor Armstrong could respond, Charlotte Young asked, “Mom, when have you scheduled the visit?”
Eleanor Armstrong replied, “We're unsure when Viola's parents will be available. That's why we just asked our third son to inquire from Viola.”
Upon hearing this, Charlotte Young scoffed internally.
So, nothing was settled yet!
Seeing how excited Eleanor Armstrong was, Charlotte had assumed the deal was done.
What a joke!
However, Charlotte Young didn't show her feelings. She nodded and said, “Mom, you're right. We indeed have to ask Mr. and Mrs. Thompson about this.”
Sophie chimed in, “Now that mom and dad have made up their minds, I believe the Thompsons will respond soon. The trip to the Capital City should be within the next few days.”
She was deliberately setting Eleanor Armstrong up for embarrassment.
One can lack anything in life, but self-awareness is crucial.
Although Eleanor Armstrong was not a fool and could detect the implied tone in her daughters-in-law's words, she laughed it off and said, “If the Thompsons favor Terrence, it's not only his good fortune but also a testament to his qualities. So, there's no need for you two to worry about what's coming next. Your father and I have already prepared everything we need to bring to the Thompsons. After we leave for Capital City, you both just take care of yourselves!”
As if these two could be decent sisters-in-law!
While most sisters-in-law treat their brother-in-law as their own little brother, these two would rather see Terrence become a laughingstock.
Upon hearing this, both Charlotte Young and Sophie wanted to laugh.
What a pipe dream!
