Besides, even though Terrence Lentz is utterly useless, he holds a significant position in the hearts of his parents.

“Alright.” Charlotte Young nodded.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next morning.

The Lentz Clan’s dining room.

Bartley Lentz put down his bowl, looked at Terrence Lentz, “Third, I heard you’re picking up Miss Thompson from the airport today. Is that so?”

“Mmhmm.” Terrence Lentz nodded slightly.

Bartley pretended to tell him earnestly, “Miss Thompson is a rare gem. Treat her well and never make her angry. If you miss her, you’ll never find such a good girl.”

“I know.” Terrence’s tone was low.

Bartley frowned subtly.

He couldn’t remember when the last time was since he’d heard Terrence call him eldest brother.

Indeed, a good-for-nothing will always be a good-for-nothing.

Not only is he useless, but he’s also tactless.

No wonder the Thompson Clan looks down on him!

Eleanor Armstrong poured Terrence a cup of milk and then asked, “Viola will be arriving at the airport around one, correct?”

“Mmhmm.” Terrence Lentz nodded slightly.

Eleanor proceeded, “Then you need to be prepared to leave early to avoid any traffic complications.”

“Yes, Mom.”

Charlotte Young suddenly spoke up, “Mom, actually, he doesn’t have to prepare too early. What if Miss Thompson’s flight gets delayed again? You know these things are unpredictable.”

“Don’t jinx it!” Eleanor Armstrong gave Charlotte a look, “Viola will definitely depart without any issues today.”

Charlotte Young suppressed a triumphant look in her eyes, and continued, “Mom, it’s not that I’m cursing it – after all, it’s not the first time Miss Thompson’s flight has been delayed. You should be mentally prepared.”

Pausing here, Charlotte Young added, “Miss Thompson isn’t any ordinary person, even if her flight isn’t delayed, she might be held up by other matters.”

That statement was pretty clear.

Eleanor Armstrong naturally understood the undertone of this statement, but she didn’t explode in anger. Instead, she said, “Don’t worry, Viola isn’t the type of person who says one thing to your face and does another behind your back.”

“Mom, what do you mean by that?” Charlotte Young put down her chopsticks.

Eleanor smiled, “Whatever you think I mean is exactly what I mean. It’s early in the day, don’t force me to make things unpleasant for you!”

After speaking, Eleanor looked at Bartley Lentz, her tone stern, “Eldest son, can you keep your wife in check?!”

Bartley Lentz, who was somewhat afraid of his mother, immediately stood up, took Charlotte Young away, “Mom, don’t stoop to her level. Charlotte’s mouth can be sharp, but she has a heart of tofu. She’s not a bad person.”

Eleanor said nothing.

Back in their room, Bartley said sternly to Charlotte Young, “You went too far!”

Knowing something and voicing it are two different matters.

“How was I wrong? If I’m at fault, then wouldn’t your mom be more guilty? What does she mean by saying one thing to my face and another behind my back? I haven’t even mentioned her favoritism yet! She has no problem uttering harmful words!” Charlotte Young gestured at herself in anger.

“Can’t you keep your behavior in check?” Bartley continued, “What did I tell you last night, we don’t need to do anything, only wait and watch the show! No matter how bad my mom is, she’s still your elder, you shouldn’t embarrass her, especially in front of me!”

This would make him look very unfilial.

People in business always care about face.

Bartley Lentz was no exception.

Charlotte Young looked at Bartley, “As long as that good-for-nothing is around, our family will never be calm!”

Bartley Lentz let out a sigh, “So, you’ve forgotten what I told you last night? Can you not keep your patience?”

Upon hearing that, Charlotte Young calmed down a bit.

Bartley Lentz put his hands on her shoulders, “Charlotte, don’t worry, I promise you, I will erase that good-for-nothing completely from our life.”

“And what about your parents?” Charlotte Young asked.

Upon hearing this, Bartley narrows his eyes, a hint of maliciousness in the depth of his gaze, “That would depend on their choice.”

If his parents stubbornly choose that good-for-nothing, they can’t blame him for disregarding their kindness in raising him.

Charlotte Young let go of the breath she was holding, looked at Bartley Lentz, “Are you serious?”

Bartley countered, “When have I ever lied to you?”

“That’s great.”

Bartley continued, “You should go apologize to my mom later.”

Charlotte Young was slightly displeased, but thinking about her husband’s words, she nodded, “Understood.”
