/ Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot Chapter 1437
Chapter 1437: 358: A sure thing! _5 Chapter 1437: 358: A sure thing! _5 They only maintained superficial interactions.
Phoebe Perryne's sudden return to the country was due to her mother's ill health.
“Auntie? What kind of aunt is she? She doesn't have a shred of conscience! Grandma has been ill for so long, and she hasn't even visited once!” Norma Augus said this with discontent spreading across her face.
Hearing this, Mary Perryne's face didn't show any expression. She laughed and said, “You can't blame her entirely! Your Grandma doesn't have any blood ties with her.”
Upon saying this, Mary paused for a moment, then continued, “Moreover, when your grandma came to us, she was already in college. She was initially against your grandfather and grandma being together.”
Norma furrowed her brow, “All I know is that filial piety is of utmost importance. As the younger generation, she should be responsible for taking care of her parents!”
Norma disapproves of Mary's behavior.
No matter how much Mary opposed to their grandparents in the past, it is a fact now that Grandma is Mary's stepmother. As a daughter, she should honor her mother when she falls ill.
But what about Mary?
What has Mary done?
Mary didn't even spend a single day caring for the old lady, not even paying a visit. She was as cold-blooded as a stranger.
Norma disdainfully added, “Is it all because she married a good husband?”
Mary's current status is all due to Sawyer Thompson.
Although Norma was young, she knew that it was Mary who shamelessly pursued Sawyer Thompson in the past!
Being a girl, she actually took the initiative. This is simply shameless.
Without Sawyer Thompson, what would Mary be? Who would even know Mary?
Phoebe Perryne squinted her eyes,”Marrying the right person is also a kind of skill. Norma, I don't ask much of you. I just hope that you can, like your aunt, marry a good man. You must never settle for less, let alone marry someone at your will!”
Norma is an excellent girl. She is proficient in four languages and comes from a good background. She should never end up like Viola Thompson and marry just anyone!
Hearing this, Norma said with a smile: “Mom, rest assured, I know.”
She aspires to excel and naturally would not belittle herself!
Phoebe nodded, “You are still young, don't think about these messy things. Learn more from the world. In my opinion, even Mr. Terrence is more than a perfect match for you!”
Norma squinted her eyes.
Perhaps Mr. Terrence is too high to reach.
But….
Marcus White, she has to get him.
Everyone thought that the White family could only be second in Capital City, but they didn't know about Marcus White's influence abroad.
Just then, Phoebe seemed to have thought of something, she turned her head to look at Norma, “By reasoning, someone as shrewd as your aunt should not let her daughter marry a good-for-nothing! Could it be that there is some hidden secret? Or is the good-for-nothing not as simple as he seems to be?”
Mary who would go to any lengths to marry Sawyer Thompson just to become an elite member of society, would never let her own daughter live a hard life.
The more Phoebe thought about it, the more wrong it felt. She always felt that there must be a dark secret here!
“What secrets could a good-for-nothing have?” Norma continued: “I have a classmate who is from River City. He said that Terrence Lentz is not only a good-for-nothing but also disabled. If he gets sick, he can't even stand up!”
When Norma found out that Viola Thompson's boyfriend was Terrence Lentz, she had investigated about Terrence Lentz.
She had thought that he was some high-ranking boss!
After all, Viola Thompson's identity and status were also there.
Unexpectedly, Terrence Lentz is not only not a boss, but also a well-known good-for-nothing.
Hearing this, Phoebe furrowed her brows in surprise, “Really? He's also disabled?”
She had been living abroad for many years and didn't know much about the happenings back home.
“Yes,” Norma nodded, “My classmate also said that Terrence Lentz is a well-known big good-for-nothing there. Not only the daughters of prominent families, but even those of ordinary families keep their distance. Also, the reason Viola is willing to be with him is because she had a crush on Terrence when she was in River City. She was even willing to fulfill the marriage contract with Terrence on behalf of her adoptive parents' daughter. As for why Mary agreed, perhaps she just couldn't resist Viola?”
Norma had seen many women who are overly passionate about love, but it was her first time seeing a girl as infatuated as Viola.
Upon hearing this, Phoebe also thought it was very likely.
At this moment, Norma stood up from the sofa and squinted her eyes, “Mom, why don't we also take a trip to Capital City?”
“What do we do in Capital City?” Phoebe asked with a slightly furrowed brow.
Norma smiled and said: “Of course, to congratulate my aunt.”
She wanted to see for herself what this good-for-nothing looked like.
