Chapter 1453: 362: The Identity of Young Miss Thompson Family!_1 Chapter 1453: 362: The Identity of Young Miss Thompson Family!_1 Once Viola Thompson and Terrence Lentz get married, the situation changes significantly.
Before marriage, a last minute call-off would keep Viola's status as a sought-after heiress intact, with countless suitors still vying for her hand.
However, after marriage, things are different.
Although divorce is an option after marriage, a divorced Viola would be viewed as “used goods” instead of a prize from the Thompson Clan.
Take the Capital Circle for instance.
Who would be willing to marry “used goods”?
Not to mention VIPs, even ordinary families would shy away.
With this in mind.
Norma Augus turned to Phoebe Perryne, “Mom, do you understand what I mean?”
Phoebe Perryne nodded.
On the other side.
The Thompson Clan.
Sawyer Thompson turned to Harlan Lentz, “Harlan, our Viola will only be twenty by the next New Year. We can arrange for their engagement first, and can wait a little longer to discuss the specifics of the wedding.”
If Harlan Lentz were not the famed number 38, he wouldn't even give engagement due thought.
After all, Viola, his long lost daughter, is not easy to come by.
Even if Viola were to remain unmarried, he would still be thrilled.
Harlan Lentz nodded, “I understand your feelings, Viola's father. If Viola were my daughter, I wouldn't want to marry her off to my scoundrel of a son like this.”
Continuing, Harlan Lentz said, “When do you want to set the engagement date? We'll follow your recommendation.”
Sawyer Thompson could not make this decision, so he turned to look at Mary Perryne.
Mary Perryne had sought Viola's take on it earlier and had a tentative decision, “How about we arrange the children's engagement for the second half of the year, Terrence's father, Eleanor? As for the exact date, we need to consult with a fortune teller.”
An engagement is no trifling matter.
We need to choose an auspicious date and time.
Mary Perryne may not be a superstitious person, but when it comes to Viola, she has to be careful.
“The second half of the year?” Eleanor Armstrong looked at Mary Perryne, “Mary, do you mean in February of the following year?”
“Yes.” Mary Perryne replied with a slight nod.
Eleanor Armstrong nodded, “We will wait for your notification about the specific time.”
“Alright.”
After the specifics were agreed upon, Harlan Lentz and Eleanor Armstrong proposed to leave.
Mary Perryne and Sawyer Thompson along with the children personally saw the family of three to the door.
Although Mary Perryne and Eleanor Armstrong had only spent a few hours together, they had already regarded each other as sisters. Sometimes, rapport is just so magical.
Eleanor Armstrong held Mary Perryne's hand, smiling, “Mary, please do visit River City with Viola's father when you have time. Even though it's a small place, at least the scenery is nice, it's close to the sea, and the air is fresh.”
Mary Perryne nodded, “I was just planning a trip lately. Let's pass through River City, and Eleanor, if you have time, you could join us.”
Eleanor Armstrong curiously asked, “Where are you planning to go, Mary?”
“To the borderlands.”
The borderlands have beautiful scenery, exotic cultures, and plenty of delicious food.
Over the years, Mary Perryne had travelled to numerous places in and outside the country, but the vast borderlands of her homeland were not among them.
With time on her hands and in a good mood, it's about time she explored the place.
“Really?” Eleanor Armstrong was very surprised and immediately took out her phone, “Look, Mary, I've also booked a flight to the borderlands.”
The flight was booked a week ago.
The decision to visit the borderlands was made just a couple of days by Mary Perryne. Seeing the plane ticket date, she was quite surprised, “That's quite a coincidence! I'm planning to go to the borderlands on the 8th of next month too!”
Eleanor Armstrong laughed, “So how about we two sisters go on this journey together?”
“Great, great!” Mary Perryne was quite excited, “Just the perfect timing as Mr. Thompson has some business and cannot join me.”
After this agreement was reached, the family of three got into the car.
The car was arranged by the Thompson Clan.
Sawyer Thompson instructed the driver to drive slowly and made a plan to have a drink with Harlan Lentz the next day.
Just the two brothers.
After getting into the car.
The family of three didn't speak.
Soon, the car reached the hotel entrance.
Harlan Lentz thanked the driver, Eleanor Armstrong took Terrence Lentz aside, and in a low voice asked, “So, Terrence! What on earth is going on?”
“What do you mean?” Terrence Lentz asked.
Eleanor Armstrong glanced at Terrence Lentz, “What's the deal with Eston University?”
She had never known that her son was a high-achieving student at Eston University.
Terrence Lentz remained calm, faintly saying, “Mom, didn't I tell you? I disappeared for four years because I was studying abroad.”
Eleanor Armstrong frowned slightly, “Really?”
