Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot
/ Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot Chapter 1748
Chapter 1748: 423: Cruel Reality_2 Chapter 1748: 423: Cruel Reality_2 Before Sophie could speak, Charlotte continued, “I heard that Uncle and Auntie come almost every month!”
“Really?” Sophie asked.
Charlotte rolled her eyes at her, “Why would I lie to you about this?”
Charlotte then said, “This time, let's have a good chat with Patriarch Lentz, and who knows, maybe one day he'll be happy enough to give us the gold mine!”
Given the current price of gold, whoever inherited the gold mine from Patriarch Lentz would strike it rich.
Now, they really needed to sweet-talk Patriarch Lentz!
The more Charlotte thought about it, the more excited she became.
Sophie squinted her eyes, “Big sister, what if the old man has secretly given the vault to Uncle and Auntie already?”
“That's impossible!” Charlotte replied quickly, “A few days ago, our Bartley was chatting with Uncle, and Uncle said that Auntie was returning to Delu State these days! Think about it, if Patriarch Lentz had really given the gold mine away, would Auntie still come?”
Judging by Uncle Zane and Lilly White's style,
It was utterly impossible!
Charlotte added, “I heard Miles is even bringing his girlfriend to meet Patriarch Lentz.”
Miles was the son of Zane Lentz and Lilly White.
Sophie licked her lips, “Uncle's family is really deep. I thought they genuinely respected the old man! Turns out they were after the gold mine.”
“People die for money, birds die for food. It's understandable,” Charlotte smiled and said, “Just like the two of us, if it wasn't for that gold mine, we wouldn't be here in Delu State!”
Such a distant place!
Who would want to come!
Upon hearing this, Sophie instantly stopped talking.
Yes.
People are selfish.
As they approached the front hall, they heard a familiar conversation coming from inside.
Charlotte halted, turned back to Sophie, and put her finger to her lips, making a silencing gesture, “Listen. Doesn't that sound like our mom's voice?”
Upon hearing this, Sophie perked up her ears to listen.
Correct.
It was Eleanor Armstrong's voice.
Sophie narrowed her eyes and turned to Charlotte, “What is she doing here?”
Charlotte did not respond, but pulled Sophie's hand, “Let's move a bit closer and listen.”
“Okay,” Sophie nodded.
As they moved closer, they heard Eleanor Armstrong talking with Patriarch Lentz, “Dad, tell me the truth, did you really not give Terrence any money?”
“I really didn't!” Patriarch Lentz continued, “I thought all these years it was you two subsidizing him!”
Little did they know, Eleanor Armstrong and Terrence hadn't given either!
Hearing this, both Charlotte and Sophie's expressions changed.
What did Eleanor mean by that?
What kind of mother favors one child to this extent!
She actually wanted Patriarch Lentz to give money only to Terrence!
So Patriarch Lentz has only one grandson, Terrence?
Are Bartley and Len just outsiders?
That's disgusting!
Patriarch Lentz looked at Eleanor, squinting his eyes, “If you two didn't give him money, and neither did I, how has Terrence been getting by all these years? Could it be… Bartley and Len provided for him?”
“That's impossible!” Eleanor flatly denied, “I know exactly what kind of people they are! Both are henpecked husbands, calculating even their parents, how could they possibly subsidize Terrence? You weren't here during our last family division, you have no idea how extreme things your eldest and second sons did that day!”
Eleanor got angry just talking about the day of the division!
What kind of brothers are those?
Everything of the Lentz Clan went to those two families.
Terrence only got the old mansion!
Charlotte and Sophie were even more angered when they heard this.
What is the mother-in-law implying?
Does she only have one son, Terrence?
Are Bartley and Len picked up from the streets?
She knows what Terrence is like, with his incompetent behavior, can he even manage a company?
The company would probably go bankrupt in less than three days!
Charlotte was about to confront Eleanor but was held back by Sophie.
Sophie lowered her voice, “Big sister, we came here to please grandpa, not to argue!”
They couldn't ruin their image in front of Patriarch Lentz.
For the sake of the gold mine held by Patriarch Lentz, they had to endure!
Upon hearing this, Charlotte temporarily calmed down.
Sophie continued, “Let's leave for now and come back later.”
Charlotte didn't want to leave, holding Sophie's hand, “Let's listen a little more.”
Just then, Sophie also wanted to know what they would discuss next, so she nodded in agreement.
