Chapter 1452: 361: Directly slap in the face! _5 Chapter 1452: 361: Directly slap in the face! _5 Norma Augus is very adept at networking.
All these years abroad, she has managed to avoid offending even a three-year-old, hence knowing a lot of people from different walks of life.
With these connections, she can access information that is beyond the grasp of ordinary people.
Norma initially didn't want to use her connections to investigate Terrence Lentz.
After all, every time you use your connections, you lose a bit of it.
But.
She realized that this time, she had no choice but to use them.
What if Terrence really turned out to be some secret Bigshot?
After making the call, Norma remained in a state of anxious anticipation.
Ten minutes, twenty minutes, an hour.
Still no update from the other end.
Logically speaking, the background check of an ordinary person should be easy.
Unless.
Terrence is actually a Bigshot.
With this thought.
Norma's eyebrows slightly furrow.
Viola Thompson is way too fortunate.
Not only is she beautiful, but she is also set to marry a top-level Bigshot!
While Norma was anxiously waiting, her phone rang again.
“Hello, Aisha.”
“It's me.”
Norma immediately asked: “So, what's the story with Terrence Lentz?”
Aisha continued: “The background of this man is quite complex indeed, so complex that we almost made a mistake. He is not as ordinary as he appears to be, but you don't have to worry, he is not as formidable as you think.”
Norma sighed in relief but still found it strange, “But if he's just an ordinary man, then why would Viola be willingly engaged to him?”
Aisha's voice came again, “Even professionals like us almost made a mistake so others could be forgiven for the error. He is actually Terrence's stand-in.”
“Stand-in?”
Mr. Terrence!
Norma immediately sensed that something was wrong.
Could it be.
That Terrence Lentz is the rumored Mr. Terrence?
At this thought, Norma's heart began to race uncontrollably.
She could hardly keep her composure.
It was only when she heard Aisha's voice again did she regain her composure, as Aisha explained:
“In simple terms, he is some sort of bodyguard or staff member who works for Mr. Terrence, and if any danger arises, Mr. Terrence would undoubtedly push him forward! So we initially thought he was the real Mr. Terrence, however, the woman willing to be his fiancee must have gotten it mixed up.”
Having said that, Aisha paused, then added: “However, not long ago Terrence Lentz was dismissed, so he has no connection with Mr. Terrence anymore.”
Upon this clarification, Norma squinted her eyes and immediately felt a sense of calm.
So this was the case.
No wonder Viola was willing to be with Terrence.
She just made a bad gamble.
However, Norma was still somewhat unsure, so she asked again: “Aisha, are you sure that the information is reliable?”
“Absolutely reliable,” Aisha replied, “Don't you trust the intelligence services?”
Of course, Norma wouldn't doubt the intelligence bureau.
After all, it's Cigacan's most authoritative intelligence agency.
Able to gather information globally.
There is no information that their intelligence agency cannot capture, only that which they do not wish to know.
Norma let go of her suspicions, and laughed: “Thanks Aisha, I'll take you out to dinner when I get back.”
“Alright.”
After hanging up with Aisha, Norma could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
She had thought Terrence was so formidable!
Turns out, he was just a bodyguard.
Yes.
Indeed, an ordinary person wouldn't have the privilege to be Mr. Terrence's bodyguard.
But even if one is, he's just a bodyguard after all, moreover, Terrence has already been dismissed!
Viola Thompson is truly as dumb as they come!
She must be patting herself on the back thinking she had snagged Mr. Terrence.
Yet in reality, she hadn't even landed a short-changed deal.
If that's the case.
Then she might as well give Viola a little gift on her wedding day to Terrence.
She looks forward to seeing Viola's face when she finds out the truth.
By then, her expression will definitely be priceless.
With this in mind, the corners of Norma's mouth curled into a smirk, and a look of triumph flashed in her eyes.
“Norma.”
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
It was Phoebe Perryne.
Phoebe was somewhat wary of Terrence's true identity and asked as soon as she entered, “Norma, did you ask?”
Norma smiled: “Mom, don't worry.”
With that, Norma relayed Aisha's words to Phoebe verbatim.
Upon hearing those words, Phoebe felt a great sense of satisfaction!
“No wonder! No wonder Mary is so smug! So she took that good-for-nothing for Mr. Terrence!”
Absolute comedy.
She can't help but reflect on Viola's true nature.
Did she really think any plain Jane could catch Mr. Terrence's eye?
Phoebe continued: “If they knew Terrence was a bodyguard, wouldn't they die from embarrassment?”
The Young Miss of the esteemed Thompson Family is actually reduced to marrying a bodyguard.
If this gets out, wouldn't they become a laughing stock?
Hearing this, Norma squinted her eyes, “Mom, we have to keep this a secret.”
Keep it a secret?
Phoebe frowned, “Why?”
Right now, she couldn't wait to tell the world that Miss Thompson was about to marry a bodyguard!
Norma looked at Phoebe, “Mom, if you want to see the Thompson Family become a laughing stock, then listen to me, hold your horses for now. Wait until Viola gets married to Terrence, then it wouldn't be too late to let this news out.”
At present, Viola and Terrence's relationship hasn't been settled yet, and if we let the cat out of the bag now, the Thompson Family could still call off the engagement. Viola has excellent prospects, both inside and out.
As long as she was willing, she could marry any Capital Circle Bigshot.
Moreover, she heard that Polluton's nobleman Visha Garcia has been pursuing Viola. The reason Viola has not accepted Visha Garcia must be because of Terrence.
With Mr. Terrence in the picture, only a fool would choose Visha Garcia.
Too bad.
Viola has yet to realize that she's been the biggest fool all along.
The man she considers a top-level Bigshot is truly nothing more than a piece of trash.
