Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot
/ Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot Chapter 1685
Chapter 1685: 410: Smoke is rising from the ancestral grave! Chapter 1685: 410: Smoke is rising from the ancestral grave! Hearing Terrence Lentz's response, the tone on the other end of the phone relaxed slightly.
A moment later, Harlan Lentz continued, “Also, when you're with Viola, you cannot bully her.”
“Uh-huh.”
“You can't spend Viola's money.”
“Uh-huh.”
“You can't…” Harlan Lentz hadn't finished his sentence when he changed his tone seriously and said, “Can you be serious for a moment? What does this 'uh-huh' attitude mean? I'm telling you, I am not joking with you!”
“Okay, Dad, I understand,” Terrence Lentz continued, “I'll take everything you said to heart.”
Harlan Lentz then said, “Repeat what I just said.”
Terrence Lentz had no choice but to repeat Harlan Lentz's words.
Only then did Terrence feel relieved.
“Let's leave it at that, I'm hanging up.”
“Okay,” Terrence Lentz spoke slowly, “I wish you and mom a pleasant tri…”
He hadn't finished his sentence when Harlan Lentz on the other end hung up the phone.
Looking at the disconnected call, Terrence Lentz's face was full of helplessness.
Really my own father!
Meanwhile, right after Harlan Lentz had hung up, Eleanor Armstrong eagerly asked, “How did it go? Did Terrence and Viola meet?”
“They did,” Harlan Lentz nodded.
Eleanor Armstrong smiled and said, “I said so! Viola was bound to give Terrence a surprise.”
Harlan Lentz continued, “Actually, we shouldn't have left so soon.”
“What do you mean?” Eleanor Armstrong asked.
Harlan Lentz narrowed his eyes, “If we were nearby, the kid would definitely be a bit wary. Now that all of us have left, you say…”
The rest was left unsaid.
Eleanor Armstrong then said, “Do you mean Terrence might take advantage of Viola?”
“Yes,” Harlan Lentz nodded.
Terrence Lentz was different from ordinary people.
After all, he was always a bit special.
If anything real happened between him and Viola Thompson, and if Viola happened to get pregnant out of wedlock, it would definitely affect Viola's reputation.
Moreover,
a man who uses a child to trap a woman is definitely incapable.
The principles of the Lentz Clan wouldn't allow Terrence Lentz to do anything inappropriate.
Hearing this, Eleanor Armstrong smiled and said, “You really don't need to worry about this.”
No one understood her son better than Eleanor Armstrong.
She knew Terrence wasn't that kind of person.
Harlan Lentz glanced at Eleanor Armstrong, “You don't understand men.”
Eleanor Armstrong scoffed, “I might not understand men, but I understand my own son.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Eleanor Armstrong seemed to remember something, then asked, “Did you call Dad?”
“I did.”
“Did you ask him?” Eleanor Armstrong continued.
She was referring to whether Patriarch Lentz had given Terrence money.
Harlan Lentz replied, “That's not something clear enough to discuss on a phone call. When we get to Lusto Country, we shall talk to Dad about it properly.”
Patriarch Lentz was also getting on in years; he needed to save some money for his retirement rather than always having to provide for Terrence.
This matter would cause discontent among the other siblings if it continued.
Eleanor Armstrong nodded, “That will do.”
As she finished speaking, Eleanor Armstrong looked at Harlan Lentz, then said, “After this world tour is over, let's return to our country and strive hard so that Terrence doesn't have any pressure.”
“Uh-huh.”
Parents always want to give their children the best of everything, making sure they are free from any stress or burden.
Just then, Eleanor Armstrong, holding Harlan Lentz's arm, suddenly laughed, “What if Terrence really is Mr. Terrence?”
“You're dreaming,” Harlan Lentz cruelly burst her bubble.
Eleanor Armstrong looked up in exasperation, “Can't you let me dream a little?”
Harlan Lentz relented, “Alright, alright, dream all you want. I won't stop you.”
Eleanor Armstrong continued her dream, laughing, “If Terrence is Mr. Terrence, I'll boast about it everywhere; let everyone know I have such an incredible son!”
Harlan Lentz remained silent.
Eleanor Armstrong continued, “By then, everyone will definitely envy me for having such an excellent son!”
Harlan Lentz remained silent.
Eleanor Armstrong, as if thinking of something sudden, said, “Lentz, imagine if the brothers came to know that Terrence is Mr. Terrence? They would regret their actions to death, wouldn't they? They would definitely regret belittling Terrence first, right? Calling themselves brothers, but do they even act like it? And those sisters-in-law, Xiuan and Yue Rong, they aren't much better either. Let them regret when the time comes! They've made things so absolute, I won't let them benefit in the slightest!”
