Chapter 1574: 388: How absurd the mistake is! _3 Chapter 1574: 388: How absurd the mistake is! _3 “After speaking, Terrence Lentz took out a pocket watch from his pocket.”
“Take a look at this.”
Harlan Lentz looked at the pocket watch in Terrence's hand, and was a bit stunned at the sight of it.
That's because the watch in Terrence's hand wasn't just any watch.
This was a symbol of the status within the Country Polluton Royal Family.
Something ordinary folks couldn't buy even if they had the money.
“A fake?” Harlan Lentz asked.
“Genuine article.”
Harlan Lentz chuckled, “Terrence, stop wasting time and get packed already! Stop talking about all these unnecessary things. Your mom and Viola are still waiting for us!”
Terrence began to speak again, “Father, I am really –”
He was cut off by Harlan Lentz mid-sentence, “Yes, yes, yes! I believe you, you're Mr. Terrence! You are!”
Terrence sulkingly thought, could his old father be more dismissive?
With his father unresponsive to his claims, Terrence Lentz resigned to his silence and quietly began packing his things.
Soon, the father and son pair had all their things loaded into the van.
Harlan Lentz jumped into the co-pilot seat, “Go get your mother and Viola.”
“Alright.”
Eleanor Armstrong and Viola Thompson were sitting in the garden, chatting, while munching on sunflower seeds.
Even though there was quite an age gap between them, there was no dearth of topics to talk about.
The bond between the two, though not by birth, was like that of a mother and daughter, a heart-warming sight to behold.
Charlotte Young observed this scene from the third floor.
With a scoff, she said, “I knew that old witch was hiding something!”
Otherwise, why else would they be laughing so heartily?
“What happened?” Bartley Lentz curiously asked.
Charlotte Young pulled the curtain open, “Look at the garden.”
Bartley Lentz walked over, looking a bit puzzled, “What about the garden?”
“Are you blind?” Charlotte was slightly annoyed, “Didn't you see how happy your mother and Viola Thompson look while they chat?”
Bartley Lentz said, “What does that have to do with us?”
Charlotte continued, “It has everything to do with us! Your mother is laughing so happily, she may have thought of kicking us out long ago! Otherwise, why would she still be so happy knowing that we are leaving soon!”
As a mother, at this moment, she should be extremely sad.
After all, her son and daughter-in-law are about to move far away from her!
But Eleanor Armstrong?
Eleanor seems as though she has just received wonderful news.
Charlotte added, “I heard it all. Your mother is planning to take that good-for-nothing and Viola camping! What kind of timing is this for a camping trip! She's so cold-blooded!”
Bartley too felt like his mother was crossing a line!
Couldn't she choose another time to go camping?
“Forget it,” Bartley Lentz comforted Eleanor, “Anyway, we're leaving soon. Let them do whatever they want! From now on, we'll close the door and live our own lives.”
Charlotte was still very angry.
“Your mother is way out of line! She always adores our Lucky, but during this separation, she didn't give a cent to Lucky, it's all being saved for her good-for-nothing son! Just watch! She'll get her comeuppance one day!”
Is it even possible for Terrence Lentz, that incapable good-for-nothing, to make a living on his own?
Might even lose the LentzFamily Old Mansion as collateral one day!
Bartley smiled and said, “I can't make any guarantees, but I'm very sure that my parents are going to suffer for the rest of their lives.”
With such a good-for-nothing by their side, they might not even guarantee a basic living in their old age.
Thinking about that is also quite pathetic!
However, all of this is their own doing.
It's not worth the sympathy.
After these words, Bartley continued, “So for now, we should just put up with it. What's the point in bickering so much with them?”
Favoritism in parents will never make them realize their mistakes.
Charlotte said, “I'm warning you, when your parents get old and face their retribution, you're not allowed to quietly give them any help! Because it's their comeuppance!”
“I know, didn't you just say that?” Bartley Lentz was not a fool, he would not be helpful to anyone who was not caring about him.
Even if that person was his own biological parents.
It was a matter of principle.
If he were a parent, he would never waste time on someone like Terrence Lentz.
Because a good-for-nothing can only ever be a good-for-nothing.
On this end, Terrence Lentz went over to the two women who were chatting, “Mother, Father and I have packed everything, we can leave now.”
“Let's go then.” Eleanor Armstrong stood up and took Viola Thompson's hand.
