Hearing this, Eleanor remained silent.
She’s not someone who lacks self-awareness.
Originally, when Viola was still an adopted daughter of the Thompson Clan, it was already a significant step up for Terrence to be with her, not to mention that Viola is now the Young Miss Thompson Family.
What kind of place is the Thompson Clan?
The number one family in Capital City.
A family that everyone in the Capital Circle wants to flatter.
The Thompson Clan has three sons and two daughters.
The eldest son, Brandon, is a businessman who strikes fear into people in the market. He’s young, but he’s already an imposing figure.
The second son, Borden, is a famous artist who became famous at a young age, once setting a record for selling a painting for a billion dollars.
The third son is a movie star who’s so popular that he’s become a household name.
With numerous works to his name.
He’s a part of a generation’s youth.
And the younger daughter, Sylvia.
Although Sylvia is an adopted daughter of the Thompson Family, she is pampered and loved. At a young age, she’s already a college sophomore, successfully joined the famous KV research lab, and won many awards.
Any of these children from the Thompson family are capable of outshining everyone else.
Young Miss Thompson, Viola, was lost for 18 years, and the Thompson Family had been looking for her for 18 years. After they found her, they held a big feast, as if they wanted to pamper her and hold her in the palm of their hands.
Naturally, they wouldn’t want their precious daughter to marry a notorious good-for-nothing.
Harlan Lentz looked at Bartley Lentz and said, “No matter what, your mother and I will respect Viola’s choice. Even if she wants to cancel the engagement with Terrence.”
After all, from the beginning, the person engaged to Terrence was not Viola.
Moreover, Viola is now the Young Miss of the Thompson Family.
So, she has every reason to choose something better.
They won’t have any complaints.
Eleanor nodded, “Your father is right.”
However.
She still felt a bit regretful.
After all, Viola was the daughter-in-law she had chosen.
Charlotte Young then spoke, “Mom and Dad, since you both know what’s going on in your hearts, why bother with all this? Isn’t this a waste of time and resources?”
She knew that Eleanor had specially ordered expensive ingredients to be air-shipped just to welcome Viola.
Charlotte was quite uncomfortable seeing this.
Thinking back to when she was dating Bartley, she never saw her mother-in-law being so attentive before.
Eleanor argued, “How do you know that Viola won’t come? Based on Viola’s character, even if she wants to cancel the engagement with Terrence, she would feel unclear about it. She would come and talk to us for sure.”
Although she hadn’t spent much time with Viola, Eleanor knew her well.
She was clear about Viola’s character and knew that Viola wouldn’t do such a thing.
Charlotte’s eyes were full of mocking as she replied, “Mom, the person you’re talking about is Viola. Now she’s Viola Thompson.”
Viola and Viola Thompson are two different people to begin with.
Since they are two different people, they are naturally different.
Her mother-in-law is too naive!
Thinking that Viola would come.
As she finished speaking, Charlotte continued, “Mom, do you know what kind of place the Thompson Family is? How many people want to flatter the Thompson Family?”
Now that Viola is the Young Miss Thompson, how could she lower herself to come to the Lentz Clan?
“Mom, I advise you not to have unrealistic expectations. As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!”
Eleanor remained silent.
Just at this moment, Sophie came over and Charlotte smiled, “Sophie, don’t you think I’m right?”
“What’s right?” Sophie asked, confused.
Charlotte explained the situation to her.
Hearing this, Sophie looked amused, “Mom, I think my sister-in-law has a point. Miss Thompson is different from before. If, if ”
She paused, “If the third brother could be more promising, that would be another story. But you know what kind of person our third brother is. He went to the company for less than three months and already lost five million dollars. Now he’s wandering around aimlessly. If you were the mistress of the Thompson family, would you let your daughter marry our third brother?”
Sophie didn’t mention the word “good-for-nothing,” but every word was implying that Terrence was a good-for-nothing.
If it were in the past.
These two sister-in-laws might still be somewhat cautious.
But not now.
Because when Patriarch Lentz had an accident, Harlan Lentz divided the Lentz Clan into four parts along with the shares inherited from Patriarch Lentz.
The three brothers shared one part each.
The remaining part was left for Harlan Lentz and Eleanor as their retirement fund, but everyone knew they intended to leave it all for that good-for-nothing!
Her father-in-law and mother-in-law, who usually preach righteousness and fairness to every child, is this how fair they are?
