Achieved success and fa?
Consistently the first?
These adjectives almost made Eleanor Armstrong and Harlan Lentz, the couple, lose their footing.
Yes.
Once upon a ti, Terrence Lentz was certainly very impressive.
Shining brightly.
But now...
He had plumted a great distance.
Not only that, Terrence Lentz was now commonly dubbed a "good-for-nothing."
Eleanor Armstrong maintained the smile on her face, looking towards Mrs. Zacks and Hobar Saln, and then said, "Our Terrence, this child, has had a twist of fate, and these past few years he has been on a downhill path. But fortunately, he has now t a good girl. At the mont he is on the uphill climb again, and I believe he will continue to get better in the future."
Since they couldn't boast about their son, they might as well boast about their future daughter-in-law.
Thinking this, the smile at the corner of Eleanor Armstrong's mouth beca even more pronounced as she looked at the two and continued, "Right, you should know my future daughter-in-law, shouldn't you?"
Mrs. Zacks and her son had been settled abroad for many years and naturally were unaware of dostic affairs.
Occasionally, when they heard about Eleanor Armstrong's situation, it was through friends back ho.
Mrs. Zacks looked toward Eleanor Armstrong, squinting and smiling, "It seems your future daughter-in-law must be quite remarkable."
But Mrs. Zacks's heart was sneering.
What kind of impressive girl could a good-for-nothing marry!
She probably wasn't much different from him.
With this thought, Mrs. Zacks continued, "Right, our Hobar recently got engaged too. You must know of the Charles family from Country Polluton? My future daughter-in-law is the youngest daughter of the Charles family, Mary Charles."
When Mrs. Zacks said this, the corners of her eyes were filled with pride.
The Charles family held a small but distinguished reputation locally; who didn't know them?
Harlan Lentz smiled and said, "Congratulations, congratulations."
Seeing the surprise in Eleanor Armstrong and Harlan Lentz's eyes, Mrs. Zacks felt even prouder.
The Lentz Clan had once been so glorious in River City!
With the title of Terrence the top scholar, they could almost call the wind and summon the rain.
But now what?
Weren't they still being thoroughly trampled underfoot by others?
Eleanor Armstrong glanced at Hobar Saln, her eyes slightly squinting.
It was really unexpected. The child who didn't seem too smart when he was young had grown up to be so impressive, not only managing to start a business but also getting engaged to a wealthy heiress from Country Polluton.
Although Hobar Saln had previously spoken out of turn, Eleanor Armstrong would not stoop to hold a grudge against a child, smilingly looking at Hobar Saln, "Hobar has really changed a lot, if we were to et alone, I definitely wouldn't recognize him. Aunt wishes you and Miss Charles to step into the halls of matrimony soon and have a lifeti of happiness."
"Thank you, Aunt," Hobar Saln said.
Since Mrs. Zacks had t Eleanor Armstrong, she naturally would not just leave like that, her eyes shifting as she continued, "Right, Mrs. Lentz, you just said that Terrence has also found a girlfriend, didn't you? Who is your future daughter-in-law from? Do we know her?"
At that, Mrs. Zacks paused, then added, "From childhood, Terrence was always so impressive. The girlfriend he finds must also be very impressive; otherwise, she would not match his status!"
After speaking, Mrs. Zacks just looked at Eleanor Armstrong.
With an air of smug superiority.
Eleanor Armstrong smiled back at Mrs. Zacks and then asked, "Do you know Viola Thompson?"
Viola Thompson?
Mrs. Zacks was taken aback.
Despite living abroad for many years, she was aware of Viola Thompson's na.
Because her mother was a blind woman who had regained her sight thanks to Viola Thompson's Sight Restorer Plan, the na Viola Thompson had since been incorporated into the textbooks of elentary and middle school students worldwide.
But the Viola Thompson that Eleanor Armstrong ntioned could not be the sa Viola Thompson responsible for the Sight Restorer Plan.
After all, there are so many people with the sa na in the world.
Terrence Lentz was just a good-for-nothing; how could he possibly aspire to Viola Thompson's level?
That would be a frog lusting after swan at.
Seeing Eleanor Armstrong in such a smug state, those uninford might think that her future daughter-in-law was indeed Miss Thompson!
How shaless.
A mont later, Mrs. Zacks smiled and said, "Of course I know Miss Thompson, Viola. She only recently completed the Sight Restorer Plan and is now the first dean of the Sinian Academy of Biology at Capital University."
Here, Mrs. Zacks deliberately paused, looking at Eleanor Armstrong and said, "Mrs. Lentz, the future daughter-in-law you're talking about, it wouldn't happen to be Miss Thompson, Viola, would it?"
Upon hearing this, Hobar Saln couldn't help but smirk.
If it were the Terrence of the past, there might have been a possibility for him to stand shoulder to shoulder with Viola Thompson.
But now...
He wasn't even qualified to carry Miss Thompson's shoes.
Let alone carrying shoes.
