Chapter 38 - 38: 038: Think about it again
After saying that, Elizabeth Thompson just looked at Terrence Lentz’s reaction.
Without thinking, she knew that Terrence Lentz’s reaction would definitely be to cry bitterly and cling to her desperately.
Elizabeth enjoyed this feeling.
Having men grovel at her feet and bow down to her was an honor.
Who would have thought?
What happened next didn’t go as she had imagined.
Terrence’s gaze went past her and looked behind her. His thin lips gently opened, saying, “Over there.” What was behind her?
Elizabeth frowned.
Did Terrence not come to see her?
No.
Impossible!
At this moment, a pleasant female voice appeared in the air, “What do you need from me?” This voice.bender
Was…
Viola Thompson?
Elizabeth slightly frowned and glanced to the side, sure enough, it was Viola.
What was Viola doing here?
Did Viola think Terrence was here to see her?
It was so presumptuous.
Elizabeth puffed out her chest confidently, waiting for Terrence to harshly humiliate Viola.
After all, in Terrence’s view, if it weren’t for Viola, the person he would be engaged to would be her.
At this moment, for Viola to come over was simply courting humiliation.
Did Viola really think that Terrence could fall in love with her?
Even if she had some beauty, she was just a village girl from the countryside.
Elizabeth hooked her lips, her eyes full of mocking expressions.
Next, all she had to do was sit back and enjoy the show.
Terrence reached out his hand towards Viola.
Elizabeth narrowed her eyes.
Was he going to slap Viola?
At this moment, Elizabeth’s heart was filled with pleasure.
Hit her.
Hit her hard!
Better yet, ruin Viola’s face completely.
But in the next second, the development of the events took a turn that she did not expect.
Terrence handed Viola a hairpin, “You dropped this in the car.”
Viola touched her hair, the hairpin was really gone. She immediately thanked him, “Thank you, you went out of your way.”
“No trouble, it’s my duty.”
Terrence continued, “You should go rest, good night.” “Good night.” Viola held the hairpin.
“Mhm.” Terrence nodded slightly, “Then I’ll leave first.”
“Be careful on the road.” Viola reminded him.
“Alright.”
After saying ‘alright’,
Throughout the process, he never even glanced at Elizabeth.
It was as if Elizabeth was just air.
Elizabeth was dumbfounded.
She just stood there in shock, her face changing colors like a palette, looking especially amusing.
How could this be?
Why did this happen?
Thinking about all the things she had just said to Terrence, Elizabeth felt unbearable discomfort, wishing she could crawl into a crack in the ground.
She had made a fool of herself in front of a good-for-nothing!
What should she do now?
Elizabeth bit her lip, her whole body trembling.
On the other hand, Viola looked relaxed, humming a joyful tune as she walked into the house.
The cheerful tune sounded so irritating to Elizabeth.
Slut!
Slut!
They’re all sluts!
Elizabeth tried hard to control her emotions.
It must have been deliberate.
Terrence must have done it on purpose to show her.
After all, she was the one who rejected the marriage.
Terrence wanted to use the strategy of feigning disinterest to attract her attention.
He pretended not to care about her, but deep down, he was already in so much pain.
Maybe Terrence was hiding in a corner where she couldn’t see, crying secretly.
Yes.
It must be like this.
How could Terrence easily forget her?
Thinking like this, Elizabeth’s mood improved significantly, and she turned around and walked into the house.
Olga immediately came over, “Elizabeth, how did it go? Did you make yourself clear to that good-for-nothing?”
“I made myself clear,” said Elizabeth, “but it seems he didn’t understand what I meant, and instead, he intends to use the feigning tactic to attract my attention.”
“What should we do?” Olga frowned slightly.
Elizabeth sighed, “Let it be for now.”
“There are pros and cons to everything. Sometimes, being too outstanding is not good. If you weren’t so outstanding, would Terrence cling to you so desperately?” Olga then paused before continuing, “Actually, Terrence’s external conditions are not bad, but what a pity! He’s all glitter and no substance.”
How could a good-for-nothing be worthy of the lofty Elizabeth?
After speaking, Olga instructed, “Elizabeth, you must not be deceived by that good-for-nothing’s appearance.”
“Mom, don’t worry.”
Her heart would always belong to Mr. Terrence.
Only Mr. Terrence was worthy of her.
On the other side.
Terrence got into the car.
Adam Swantz licked his lips, then said, “Brother, is our future Sister-in-Law the fairy we saw at Show Mountain last time?”
“What fairy?” Terrence asked.
Adam Swantz said, “It’s the fairy in the red dress. I saw her clearly.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Terrence leaned back in his seat, his eyes closed, preparing to rest for a while.
Adam Swantz opened his mouth again, wanting to say something more.
Seeing this, Terrence raised his index finger to his lips, making a hushing gesture.
Adam Swantz had no choice but to drive away.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at the front door of the Lentz Mansion.
Terrence opened his eyes, straightened his clothes, and prepared to get out of the car.
Today, his leg problem wasn’t bothering him, so he didn’t need to use a wheelchair. Adam said, “Brother, I won’t get out.”
“Mhm.”
Watching Terrence’s figure disappear in the distance, Adam Swantz drove away.
Just as he entered the house,
Patriarch Lentz came to greet him, “Terrence, ah.”
“Grandfather.’ “You,” Patriarch Lentz took a look at Terrence, “are you alright today?”
“I’m fine.’
Patriarch Lentz continued, “What do you think of that girl from the Thompson Clan?”
Did he really plan on accepting Viola?
Hearing this question, Eleanor Armstrong, who was drinking water at the side, quickly walked over.
Terrence replied, “Since we’re already engaged, she’s my fiancée.”
Before Patriarch Lentz could speak, Eleanor spoke up, “But her reputation isn’t very good, is it?”
Terrence chuckled, “How good do you think my reputation could be?”
Eleanor frowned slightly, “That’s not the same…” No matter how bad Terrence’s reputation was, he was still the young master of the Lentz Clan, and he had inexhaustible wealth at his disposal.
Compared to him, Viola was much weaker.
She came from the countryside.
Lacked experience.
And had no culture or manners to speak of.
Eleanor didn’t even get a good look at Viola tonight because the events were so distressing.
At this point, Eleanor could only describe the Thompson Family with one idiom.
Hate them to the bone.
Viola was part of the Thompson Family.
After thinking about it, Eleanor changed her tone and said, “Terrence, why don’t you think about it some more? After all, marriage is a lifelong matter, and you have to be responsible for yourself! Besides, what do the Thompsons think of us? Do they really think that just anybody can marry into the Lentz Clan? It’s too much!”
