Chapter 1853: 445: Surprise_2

Watching the two figures recede, Charlotte Young lowered her voice and said to Sophie, "Where do you think the third son got his money from?"

That’s three hundred million!

I thought that after we drove Terrence Lentz out of the house, he would soon become poor and destitute, a homeless vagrant on the streets.

Who could have thought!

Terrence Lentz actually had enough to buy a conch pearl worth three hundred million!

Who could stand such a blow!

Not to mention three hundred million.

Even a thirty million emerald, neither Charlotte Young nor Sophie had ever bought.

The most expensive piece Charlotte Young ever bought was a green and purple jadeite bracelet for a mere ten million.

The more Charlotte Young thought about it, the more imbalanced she felt!

Hearing this, Sophie snorted coldly, "Do we even need to say? It must have been given by the two old folks, of course!"

Speaking of this, Sophie paused and said angrily, "What did we even get when we divided the family assets? Just some shares and a little bit of savings. To all appearances it seemed that good-for-nothing wanted nothing, just the old family house! But he was cunning! All the good stuff was left to him by the two old ones!"

Even if Terrence Lentz was called a good-for-nothing, he was certainly no good-for-nothing when it came to ’calculating’.

He had schemed against both his older brothers and their wives.

Three hundred million was just the visible amount. Who knows how much more the old folks had secretly given Terrence Lentz!

The Lentz Clan was already extraordinary in its heritage.

Even Patriarch Lentz owned two large gold mines, could the two old ones really have nothing in their hands?

Impossible!

Sophie lowered her voice, "They don’t have nothing, they’re biased! They left all the good things to their youngest son!"

Charlotte Young was already very upset, and hearing this made her even more so!

What was this?

Was Bartley Lentz no longer the biological child of Harlan Lentz and Eleanor Armstrong?

Charlotte Young bit her lip, "I wondered how they still had money for world travel. Turns out they never showed us their real financial situation!"

It was one thing to travel around the world.

But also saying it was Terrence Lentz who paid for it.

If Terrence Lentz could really afford a three hundred million conch pearl and also pay for his parents’ world tour, then he was certainly not a good-for-nothing!

Sophie sighed, "Forget it, forget it. This isn’t the first time it’s happened! Anyway, we’ve already split the family assets. Let’s just bear it for some things, shall we?"

Charlotte Young narrowed her eyes, "Bear what? We’re not Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!"

She didn’t want to bear it!

Sophie responded helplessly, "And what can we do if we don’t bear it?"

Could they go and fight with the two old ones?

Charlotte Young continued, "Isn’t that conch pearl worth three hundred million? Make her sell it! As for the money, let’s split it between our two families. Why should all the good things go to that good-for-nothing?"

Upon hearing this, Sophie frowned slightly, "This might not be so simple, right?"

Eleanor Armstrong was not someone who could be easily manipulated.

Just tell her to sell it?

Charlotte Young’s eyes were filled with calculating thoughts, "Whether it’s feasible or not, we won’t know unless we try. When the time comes, just follow my lead, okay?"

Sophie nodded, "Alright."

Who doesn’t like money?

Especially a huge sum?

Today was William Astir’s birthday.

But the entire house was very quiet.

Olivia Armstrong had gone out to chat with friends and learn square dancing.

Isla Astir was not at home.

It seemed as though the whole family had forgotten his birthday.

Although William Astir didn’t care much about birthdays, he still felt somewhat disappointed.

He sat in the living room watching TV.

Just then, the door opened.

Isla Astir walked in from outside.

Seeing Isla Astir come home, William Astir immediately stood up from the couch, "Isla’s back!"

"Dad." Isla Astir hurried towards the bedroom.

William Astir, smiling, said, "Isla, have you had lunch? If not, Dad can make you something."

Although William Astir was a man, he was quite skilled in cooking.

"No need, Dad, I’m going to eat out in a bit. I just came home to grab something and will be leaving soon."

William Astir paused for a moment.

Leaving soon.

He had thought his daughter had come home for his birthday.

But it turned out she had just come to fetch something.

Busy with work, Isla Astir didn’t mention his birthday, and William Astir wouldn’t want his own birthday to get in the way of her work.

"Then you better get going," William Astir said.

Isla Astir grabbed her things and smiled, "Okay Dad, I’ll be off then."

After taking a few steps, Isla Astir seemed to remember something and added, "Where’s Mom?"

"Your mom has gone to Auntie Liu’s to learn square dancing."
