Chapter 1851: 444: Duke of Uron Country, Exorbitantly Priced Conch Pearl_5

No wonder Mandel Thompson sought out Isla Astir.

Her pseudonym during high school was Miss Astir.

From beginning to end, Isla Astir was just his substitute.

I don’t know what Isla Astir is so proud of.

She’s just a mere clown.

A moment later, Jean Beckman looked at Isla Astir, the corners of her mouth slightly curling up, "Miss Astir, one day, you will regret your actions today!"

If Mandel Thompson knew what happened today, would he easily let Isla Astir off the hook?

Of course not!

She alone is Mandel Thompson’s eternal saudade.

What is Isla Astir, then?

She’s not even a grain of rice sticking to Mandel Thompson.

But by then, regret would be utterly useless.

"Really?" Isla Astir raised an eyebrow, "Miss Beckman, are you that confident?"

Jean Beckman smiled, "You will understand when the time comes."

At this point, she paused, then added, "Understand the gap between you and me."

She is a wealthy heiress, having had the best of everything from food to clothing to education since childhood.

What about Isla Astir?

She’s simply incomparable to herself.

Isla Astir didn’t flinch at all and just watched Jean Beckman, "I’m looking forward to it."

Jean Beckman scoffed, saying no more, and turned to the driver, "Mr. Cooper, let’s go!"

Driver Mr. Cooper immediately followed Jean Beckman, got into the car, and drove off.

After Jean Beckman left, Isla Astir also drove away.

She was very good at controlling her emotions and disliked carrying negative emotions with her.

When she met with the editor, there was no trace of unhappiness on her face.

The two of them had a very pleasant conversation.

Eleanor Armstrong and Harlan Lentz were still on the island accompanying Patriarch Lentz.

Not only were those two there.

Even the head of the Lentz Clan, Bartley Lentz, and Len Lentz, the two brothers, had also come.

Harlan Lentz looked at his two sons, puzzled, "You both are here. Who’s handling things at the company?"

Terrence Lentz said with a smile, "Dad, you don’t have to worry about that. I’ve arranged everything."

Len Lentz nodded, "Big brother is right. I’ve also arranged everything. They say children want to support their elders, but the elders might not be there. We want to spend quality time with Grandpa, enjoying family bliss."

Compared to a gold mine.

What’s the company?

It’s said that Patriarch Lentz owns more than one gold mine!

They just wanted to show Patriarch Lentz that only the two of them were the most filial grandsons.

Terrence Lentz is not only a good-for-nothing.

But also an ungrateful and vicious man.

Patriarch Lentz wasn’t senile yet; as long as he wasn’t blind, he could see who the most filial grandson in the Lentz Clan was.

That gold mine, that good-for-nothing Terrence won’t even get a slice of it.

With Len Lentz saying that, as a father, Harlan Lentz couldn’t say much else; he certainly couldn’t stop the kids from showing filial piety in front of their grandfather.

Charlotte Young looked at Sophie and whispered, "Did you see that?"

"What did you see?" Sophie asked, curious.

Charlotte Young continued, "That crappy pearl necklace around her neck! How many nice things have we bought for her, and she never wants to wear them? But something from her younger son, even if it’s trash, she’s willing to wear it!"

Sophie sighed softly, "I thought you were already used to it."

Eleanor Armstrong’s favoritism wasn’t new.

Just then, footsteps sounded outside.

Harlan Lentz quickly stood up, smiling, "It must be Mr. Tulio."

Mr. Tulio was a longtime friend of Harlan Lentz.

The next second, Mr. Tulio indeed walked in from outside; he wasn’t alone, his wife Eunice was with him.

Mr. Tulio is a duke from Uron Country, and his wife Eunice is a Sinian.

This made the two families even closer.

Charlotte Young and Sophie also immediately went over to greet Mr. Tulio and Mrs. Tulio Eunice.

Eunice hugged Eleanor Armstrong, smiling, "Long time no see."

"Long time no see."

A moment later, they released each other. Eunice looked at the pearl necklace around Eleanor Armstrong’s neck, "This conch pearl is so beautiful! I remember it’s a collectible, right? How did you manage to buy it?"

Conch pearl?

Collectible?

With this remark, both Charlotte Young and Sophie were stunned.

Although the pearl was much prettier than ordinary pearls, it was just a pearl.

How could it possibly be some priceless conch pearl?

As if that good-for-nothing Brandon could ever afford a conch pearl.

Dream on!

Sophie chuckled, "Mrs. Tulio, you must be mistaken. This pearl necklace was given to my mother by the third son. It couldn’t possibly be a conch pearl, could it?"
