Chapter 1862: 447: Terrence Lentz: What do I need most?

Who is Mr. Tulio?

The Duke of Uron Country.

Even he could only sit in the outer field of the auction, which shows just how significant the attendees of the auction were that day.

Not only Eleanor Armstrong.

Even Harlan Lentz and Patriarch Lentz were extremely surprised, their mouths forming an ’O’ shape.

No one had expected that the two conch pearls had been snapped up by Mr. Terrence.

A moment went by.

It took Harlan Lentz a while to react, then he looked up at Mr. Tulio, "Big brother Tulio, you, you aren’t joking with me, right?"

If he hadn’t misunderstood, Mr. Tulio meant that Terrence Lentz was very likely Mr. Terrence.

But...

That was too fantastical.

Mr. Tulio said with a serious face, "As you know, I never joke."

Continuing, Mr. Tulio added, "And I wouldn’t joke about something like this. I don’t mind losing face by admitting that I wanted to bid on those two conch pearls on that day, but I didn’t even get the chance to raise my paddle."

Mr. Tulio had been determined to win the conch pearls that day.

No matter how much it cost, he was set on buying them.

But unexpectedly, even sitting in the outer field, he didn’t get the chance to bid.

In the end, Mr. Terrence had taken the pearls with a direct bid.

The final price.

Three hundred million.

Three hundred million was just the price of the pearls themselves.

If the buyer were not Mr. Terrence, the price, at the very least, would have had to double several times over.

No chance to bid?

As soon as Mr. Tulio finished speaking,

the atmosphere grew tense; people glanced around at each other, nobody spoke.

It was Eleanor Armstrong who broke the silence, "Big brother Tulio, are you saying that our Terrence could very well be Mr. Terrence?"

"Yes," Mr. Tulio nodded, "Though it sounds like fantasy, it’s probably the case."

Probably?

What do you mean probably?

Sophie turned to Charlotte Young, whispering, "Big sister, do you think it’s possible?"

If Terrence Lentz really was Mr. Terrence, then what foolish things had they done before?

Mr. Terrence was, after all, living with them as part of the family.

Yet they had forcibly demanded a division of the elder’s assets and had harshly stated that they wanted to sever all ties with Terrence Lentz, insisting that whatever achievements Terrence Lentz had in the future would have nothing to do with them...

At that thought,

Sophie felt a chill.

What to do?

What now?

Sophie swallowed hard.

Hearing this, Charlotte Young narrowed her eyes; she was not afraid at all.

How could Terrence Lentz, that good-for-nothing, possibly be Mr. Terrence?

Impossible!

For a moment, Charlotte Young sneered, her eyes full of sarcasm, and asked in a lowered voice, "Haven’t you figured it out yet?"

"Figured out what?" Sophie asked, curious.

Charlotte Young continued, "Obviously, this is just a play put on by them alongside Mr. Tulio in front of us. Think about it, if that good-for-nothing really were Mr. Terrence, after all these years, would our Lentz Clan be in the state it is? And if he really were Mr. Terrence, would Elizabeth Thompson have broken off her engagement with him?"

The irony.

Though they were all one family, the in-laws clearly favored the younger son, now deigning to deceive them together with outsiders.

You might search the whole world and never find such parents.

Sophie frowned slightly, "But why would they perform such a play in front of us?"

Charlotte Young looked at Sophie incredulously, "Sophie, I don’t mean to say, but you usually seem quite clever. Why do you fail at the most critical moments? The reason they’re performing for us is simple! Because the old man wants to leave the gold mine to that good-for-nothing!"

"Think about it, if that good-for-nothing really were Mr. Terrence, and even if the old man did give him the gold mine, what could we possibly say? Not only would we have nothing to say, but we would also be filled with intense regret, regretting that we drove that good-for-nothing away, regretting our own actions!"

If Terrence Lentz really was Mr. Terrence, then they would certainly regret it!

After all, Mr. Terrence was someone held in high esteem; if they had continued to live with Mr. Terrence, they would have shared in boundless glory.

By driving Terrence Lentz away, they essentially cast out all their future wealth and status.

But could Terrence Lentz be Mr. Terrence?

Impossible!

A good-for-nothing will always remain a good-for-nothing.

There would never be any change in this lifetime!

Upon hearing this, Sophie suddenly understood and looked at Charlotte Young, "Big sister, you’re really so clever! That’s definitely what they’re aiming for!"
