Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot
/ Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot Chapter 1544
Chapter 1544: 383: Hopping Clown_1 Chapter 1544: 383: Hopping Clown_1 The Thompson Clan agreeing to an engagement with the Lentz Clan was something beyond Charlotte Young's wildest imagination.
They had originally thought they could enjoy a bit of a comedy show.
Unbelievably, Harlan Lentz and Eleanor Armstrong pulled it off.
However, Charlotte did not think that Viola Thompson and Terrence Lentz's relationship would last.
The only reason the Thompson Clan agreed to the engagement must be because they couldn't say no to Viola. Viola, barely in her teens, lacks worldly experience. When she's seen more of the world, how could she possibly set her sights on someone like Terrence?
Hence, the engagement is merely a stopgap measure for the Thompson Clan.
The fact that Terrence returned from Capital City all alone and downcast is proof enough that the Thompson Clan doesn't regard him highly.
If Viola regarded Terrence as her fiance, she wouldn't have let him return alone. Viola would've definitely accompanied Terrence back home.
After all, they just got engaged recently.
Thinking about this, Charlotte's eyes gleamed with even more delight.
Any time now.
She would soon enjoy a good laugh.
Terrence gave her a faint look, and without further explanation, he said calmly, “Viola's been a bit busy lately.”
Upon hearing this, Charlotte nodded, “It makes sense. The capable are often busy. Miss Thompson is certainly not ordinary.”
With these simple words, she put extra emphasis on the phrase 'not ordinary'.
She was reminding Terrence.
Even ordinary people wouldn't look twice at a good-for-nothing like Terrence, let alone a prodigy like Viola.
After all, if Viola was compared to the bright moon in the sky, Terrence couldn't even rank as the mud on the ground.
The two of them weren't even on the same level.
All of this was nothing more than a pipe dream for this good-for-nothing.
A pity.
This good-for-nothing couldn't understand this fact. Terrence showed no obvious change in his expression as he looked up at Eleanor, “Mom, I'm going upstairs.”
Eleanor nodded, “Go ahead! You must be tired from the flight. Go get some rest in your room. I'll call you when dinner's ready.”
“Okay.”
Terrence inclined his head slightly and then went upstairs.
Watching Terrence leave, Eleanor seemed to remember something, “Third son, wait a moment.”
“What's up?” Terrence turned to look at his mother.
Eleanor said, “What would you like for dinner? I'll let the kitchen know.”
“Anything is fine.” Terrence never had any specific preferences for food.
As long as it filled his stomach, it was good enough.
After some thought, Eleanor said, “I'll have the kitchen prepare your favorite Four Treasures Soup from your childhood.”
When did Terrence become so indifferent?
It was probably after that car accident.
Previously, Terrence was no different from any other child.
The only difference was his remarkable talent.
Back then, everyone believed that this boy would achieve great things in the future. It was then that Elizabeth Thompson's father came forward to propose an arranged marriage.
During that period, the Lentz Clan enjoyed unrivaled prestige.
Unfortunately.
A sudden car accident took everything away.
Whenever Eleanor thought about the past, she felt a flood of emotions, as if she were living in a dream.
“Alright.” Terrence inclined his head slightly.
Cooking Four Treasures Soup for this good-for-nothing?
Hearing this, Charlotte felt uncomfortable.
She knew her mother-in-law was partial, but every time she saw her ignoring her but showering attention on Terrence, it still made her furious!
Why was that?
She and her husband had contributed so much to the Lentz Clan, yet in the end, they're treated worse than a good-for-nothing like Terrence!
It was totally ironic!
Throughout the years she lived with her mother-in-law, Eleanor had never once asked her what she wanted to eat nor got the kitchen to make soup for her.
There's such a clear distinction between family and outsiders!
Disgusting!
Suppressing her dissatisfaction, Charlotte looked at Eleanor and asked with a smile, “Mom, during your visit to the Thompson Clan to arrange the engagement, did you set a wedding date for the third son and Miss Thompson?”
Eleanor replied, “Not yet. Viola's still in school, and Terrence's career is also rising. There's no rush.”
Hearing this, Charlotte almost laughed out loud.
His career is on the rise?
With Terrence being a good-for-nothing, what career does he have?
It's clear that the Thompson Clan is unwilling to discuss marriage, yet they used the excuse of Terrence's career being in its peak period.
What a joke.
Charlotte nodded, “That makes sense.”
After a pause, Charlotte continued, “However, by the time Miss Thompson graduates from university, she'll be of marriageable age. Why don't we set the wedding date for when she graduates?”
