Who's speaking?
At this mention.
The Thompson Clan's living room fell into silence once again.
So silent that only the voices of the man and Professor Will conversing lingered.
His voice was originally rich and magnetic, but now when he spoke English, it was even more pleasant to the ear, deep, and resonant.
Except for Viola Thompson.
Everyone wore expressions of surprise on their faces.
No one had ever imagined that Terrence Lentz could speak English.
And his pronunciation was so standard.
Even Eleanor Armstrong and Harlan Lentz hadn't expected it.
Just now, Eleanor Armstrong had broken into a cold sweat for Terrence.
If Terrence embarrassed the Thompson Clan in front of Mary Perryne and Norma Augus today, their families' relations through marriage would be terribly affected …
Fortunately.
Fortunately.
Eleanor Armstrong took a deep breath, turned to look at the equally surprised Harlan Lentz, and whispered, “Harlan, is … is that really our son, Terrence?”
Harlan Lentz quietly pinched his inner thigh, his voice equally low, “It should be …”
The pinch he gave himself was very painful.
If he were dreaming, he would have awoken a long time ago.
So, it's definitely not a dream.
Terrence Lentz can speak English.
He didn't embarrass the Thompson Clan.
Compared to Terrence's parents, Mary Perryne and Sawyer Thompson were a lot calmer.
Because they never considered Terrence to be a good-for-nothing.
But they were still somewhat surprised.
Who wouldn't want their son-in-law to be more excellent, to give their daughter some face when mentioned, and to be a source of pride?
The Thompson Clan could lose face in front of anyone.
They just can't lose face in front of Mary Perryne and Norma Augus.
These two.
One is the daughter of a mistress, the other is the granddaughter of a mistress.
Ethel Guarino knew that she was the mistress, but her descendants weren't ashamed of it. They were proud, and they even dared to provoke Mary Perryne openly.
This was something Mary couldn't tolerate.
Whenever Mary thought of her mother's death, her heart ached unbearably.
Mary's mother, Hermosa Brain, and Dick Perryne were a couple forged through adversity.
They shared joy and sorrow.
Back then, Dick Perryne was devoid of everything. Although the Tiarks Clan wasn't affluent, Hermosa was still a bona fide university student, and during that time, university students were very rare.
Dick Perryne was merely a middle school dropout and a regular worker.
At that time, they deeply loved each other.
So, for her beloved man, Hermosa was willing to give up her high-paying job. She even fell out with her parents to marry him.
The first few years of their marriage were very tough. To support Dick Perryne's entrepreneurship, Hermosa used all her dowry and even borrowed money from both families, and they slept in parks and searched for food in trash cans.
Hermosa didn't even dare to recall how they survived those years.
In a blink of an eye, eight years passed.
Dick Perryne finally transformed from a poor boy to a tycoon.
And for Hermosa, the bitterness turned to sweetness. In the first few years of their marriage, they didn't want a child due to their poverty. After Dick Perryne became successful, Hermosa started to prepare for pregnancy.
They then had Mary.
Because Hermosa had experienced hardship alongside Dick Perryne, she developed complications at Mary's birth and could never have children again.
At the start, Dick Perryne was quite good to Hermosa.
Not until Mary reached the age of eight, did Ethel Guarino arrive with her same-aged daughter Mary Perryne.
Ethel declared loudly that she was Dick Perryne's true love.
Dick Perryne didn't love Hermosa!
But Dick Perryne was unwilling to divorce Hermosa. Firstly, out of respect for their marriage, secondly, he and Hermosa had many mutual friends in the business circle. If word got out about his affair and the subsequent abandonment of his wife, he would be laughed at.
Although Dick Perryne was not the most honorable man, he cared very much about his image.
Dick Perryne was unwilling to initiate the divorce and did not want to confess. The hiding Ethel Guarino brought her child to Hermosa.
Previously, when she was single, she didn't care.
But she couldn't let her daughter live in the dark.
The reason Ethel dared to be so brazen was because she was younger than Hermosa. Sexz was sexz Due to her previous experiences, Hermosa looked older than her peers.
Moreover, Ethel was more than eight years younger than Hermosa.
So, she knew that the moment Hermosa initiated the divorce, Dick Perryne would marry her.
And Hermosa, who was arrogant and proud, always regarded herself as a university graduate and was very proud.
So, she would definitely not withstand this.
Once Ethel presented herself, Hermosa would definitely ask Dick Perryne for a divorce.
But Ethel miscalculated.
Upon discovering this matter, the usually arrogant Hermosa not only did not ask Dick for a divorce, but she also went to Ethel's workplace, causing a scene and letting everyone know that Ethel was the mistress.
