Chapter 37: 037: Country girls, not a threat.
Translator: 549690339
Eleanor Armstrong was trembling with anger, looking at Elizabeth Thompson with an incredulous expression in her eyes.
Just a moment ago, she still thought that all this had nothing to do with Elizabeth Thompson.
After all,
Based on her understanding of Elizabeth Thompson, she absolutely wouldnโt do such a thing. Perhaps all this was decided by the Thompson Clanโs parents.
But now,
The truth was right before her eyes.
Elizabeth Thompsonโs lips slightly curved, not waiting for Eleanor Armstrong to react. She continued, โMoreover, marriage between men and women has always been a matter of equal social status. Donโt you think that with the reputation of Young Master Lentz, he is a perfect match for my elder sister?โ
Elizabeth Thompsonโs words were bloody, heart-piercing, and full of contempt for Terrence Lentz, the good-for-nothing. The last sentence, in particular, was filled with provocation.
She is River Cityโs number one talented woman, with both beauty and intelligence.
What does Terrence Lentz count for?
Eleanor Armstrong swallowed all her anger, looked at Elizabeth Thompson, and said word by word, โMiss Thompson, thirty years on this side of the river and thirty years on the other side, if our Terrence was able to gain fame in
River City thirteen years ago, he will definitely rise again in thirteen years! If you look down on him today, you wonโt be able to reach him in the future!โ
Too high to reach?
Just with a good-for-nothing?
Thatโs truly unbelievable.
Elizabeth Thompson stood straight, no longer deliberately lowering her voice, and continued, โAunt Lentz, Iโll be waiting for Young Master Lentz to rise again. I hope that day wonโt be too late.โ
Eleanor Armstrong clenched her fingers, trying to control her emotions.
Elizabeth Thompson picked up a wine glass from the self-service table, โI wish Mr. Lentz and my elder sister a happy life-long marriage. And I also wish that you can witness Young Master Lentzโs comeback within a hundred years.โ At this point, she paused, then continued, โIโm looking forward to it.โ
After she finished speaking, Elizabeth Thompson drank all the wine in the tall glass in one breath, then turned around and left without looking at Eleanor Armstrongโs face.
Eleanor Armstrong watched Elizabeth Thompsonโs retreating figure, her breathing irregular, her vision darkening for a moment, almost fainting. She was fortunate to grasp the chair behind her in time.
She never dreamed that her ideal daughter-in-law would have two faces. โMom, whatโs wrong?โ Charlotte Young approached Eleanor Armstrong.
โNothing.โ Eleanor Armstrong averted her gaze.
Charlotte Young supported Eleanor Armstrongโs arm and continued, โMom, the
Thompson Clan is really inhuman! Donโt be angry, even without Elizabeth
Thompson, you still have us!โ
If todayโs fiancรฉe of Terrence Lentz were really Elizabeth Thompson, it would be a fatal blow to her and Bartley Lentz.
After all, with Elizabeth Thompsonโs talent, once she married Terrence Lentz, the position of the Lentz Clan head would definitely fall on her.
But now, things are different.
Now, Terrence Lentzโs fiancรฉe is just a country girl, who poses no threat to them.
All she had to do now was to appease Eleanor Armstrong.
Eleanor Armstrong pressed her temples, โMy head hurts; give me some peace.โ
Charlotte Young continued, โLet me take you outside for a walk.โ
Eleanor Armstrong didnโt refuse. After coming out and feeling the night breeze, she felt much more sober.
Three hours later.
The engagement banquet ended.
Viola Thompson changed into her normal clothes and walked out of the hotel.
Wearing a white T-shirt, denim shorts, and a pair of white canvas shoes, her legs were long, straight, and perfectly shaped like a model on the runway.
Her three-thousand-strand black hair cascaded freely behind her head, adorned with a crystal hairpin at the left temple, sparkling in the night. As the breeze swayed, the silk-like strands billowed in the air, not revealing chaos but presenting a stunning, disheveled beauty.
It was such a simple, natural look, but it was breathtaking and hard to look away from.
As Viola Thompson got to the roadside and was about to ride her bike back, a car pulled up beside her.
The window rolled down, revealing a sharply defined face.
โMiss Thompson.โ freew(e)bnovel.(c)om
The manโs thin lips moved slightly, his voice deep and magnetic, an extremely pleasing tone.
Viola Thompson smiled faintly, โMr. Lentz.โ
โGet in the car; Iโll give you a ride.โ
Before Viola Thompson could refuse, Terrence Lentz continued, โItโs too late; itโs not safe for a girl to be out.โ
As he finished, Terrence Lentz got out of the car, opened the door for Viola Thompson, and blocked the top of the car with his hand.
This scene left Adam Swantz, who was sitting in the driverโs seat, completely dumbfounded.
What the hell!
Is he blind?
โTh-Third Brother?โ Adam Swantz called out.
โHmm?โ
Adam Swantz swallowed, โNothing.โ
He just wanted to confirm if this person was Terrence Lentz.
Then, Adam Swantz pinched his thigh with his hand.
Ouch! It really hurt.
soโฆ
It wasnโt an illusion?
So, the gentle, respectful person who personally opened the car door for Viola Thompson and blocked the car roof with his hand really was Terrence Lentz?
The Terrence Lentz he knew never showed pity or affection for women.
He recalled at one cocktail party,
When he saw several men being disrespectful to Elizabeth Thompson, he asked Terrence Lentz if he should help, as Elizabeth Thompson was, after all, his fiancรฉe.
That Terrence Lentz:โDonโt meddle in other peopleโs affairs.โ
Another time, he had bumped into Elizabeth Thompson outside during a torrential downpour, and he offered her an umbrella.
Terrence Lentz:
โDonโt meddle in other peopleโs affairs.โ
But nowโฆ was this still the same man who told him not to meddle in other peopleโs affairs?
Very quickly.
Viola Thompson got in the car.
Adam glanced through the rearview mirror.
Looking at her, he felt a little dazed.
Why did he feel like he had seen this girl somewhere before?
โWhat are you dazed for?โ At that moment, a deep voice suddenly rang out in the air.
โHuh?โ Adam immediately snapped back to reality. Terrence Lentz coughed lightly, โDrive.โ
โOh, okay.โ Adam immediately ignited the engine.
The car was very quiet.
Viola sat next to Terrence Lentz, not feeling awkward at all, occasionally looking out the window.
Since she had gotten into the car, a faint aroma lingered around the tip of Terrence Lentzโs nose.
It was like a combination of bamboo and orchid.
Not the artificial concoction of chemical perfume, but a very natural and pure scent. It was especially pleasant to smell.
Do all girls smell so fragrant?
The temperature inside the car gradually increased.
It feltโฆ a bit hot.
Terrence Lentz swallowed, habitually reaching for his pocket. Just as his fingers touched the cigarettes and lighter, he stopped his movement.
He looked at the person next to him.
From his angle, he could see her profile clearly.
They sat very close.
Close enough to count the number of her eyelashes, which were dense like a small fan, flickering constantly.
Her skin was very white, with almost invisible pores, like a piece of top-quality mutton-fat jade.
Mr. Terrence, who was always decisive in his actions and never cared about othersโ feelings, hesitated for the first time.
In the end, he still didnโt take out the cigarette from his pocket.
Fifteen minutes later.
The car stopped at the Thompson Clanโs entrance.
Viola pushed the door open, โMr. Lentz, Iโm going home. You guys take care on the road.โ
Watching Viola enter the Thompson Clanโs gate, Terrence Lentz slowly said, โLetโs go home.โ
Just as the car started, Terrence Lentz said, โStop.โ With just one word, Adam quickly stopped the car.
โWhatโs wrong, Brother?โ
Terrence Lentz bent down to pick up a crystal hairpin that had fallen in the car, โWait for me.โ
As he finished speaking, he opened the door and got out of the car.
Olga was standing on the balcony and saw a figure approaching.
Although the night was dark, it could not conceal the extraordinary aura of the man.
As he walked, he exuded an unstoppable aura of dominance.
Who was he?
When did their family get to know such a big shot?
At that moment, Olga saw the manโs face clearly and immediately looked disgusted.
She thought it was some big shot, but it turned out she had misjudged him.
Olgaโs face was full of anger.
What was Terrence Lentz, the good-for-nothing, doing here?
He must have come to see Elizabeth Thompson.
What a shameless person.
With furrowed brows, Olga turned around and headed downstairs.
โMom.โ
Elizabeth Thompson had appeared behind Olga at some point.
Olga turned her head, โElizabeth, donโt worry about this. Iโll go and talk to that good-for-nothing.โ
โMom, the one who ties the bell must untie it. Let me go.โ
If Terrence Lentz came looking for her, she must handle it herself, making it clear to him so he could give up. Otherwise, he would never recognize his position.
Olga was worried that Elizabeth would be entangled by Terrence Lentz. Elizabeth Thompson smiled and said, โMom, I know what Iโm doing.โ
โIf you need anything, call me.โ
โMm.โ Elizabeth Thompson nodded and turned to walk downstairs.
After she went downstairs, Elizabeth stood at the door, blocking Terrence Lentz from entering, trying to suppress her anger, โMr. Lentz, please stop.โ At this point, she paused and looked up at Terrence Lentz.
โNow you are my sisterโs fiancรฉ. Donโt do anything that would make people misunderstand. Also, I hope you understand that there will never be a chance between us, like the difference between mud and the bright moon..โ
