No dog would believe it!

Let alone a person.

Lilly White spoke up, “Big brother and sister-in-law, I know you’ve been feeling down since that engagement was called off. But people have to face reality.”

Lilly White didn’t want to be too direct, so she could only subtly express her point.

At this point, Lilly White paused and said, “We’re all family here, so don’t take my words to heart. While the Thompson Clan did handle this matter poorly, we can’t blame them entirely.”

The only one to blame is the good-for-nothing Terrence Lentz.

If Elizabeth Thompson were her daughter, she wouldn’t want her to marry a good- for-nothing either.

Eleanor Armstrong knew what Lilly White was getting at and felt uncomfortable. Just as she was about to say something, Lilly White continued.

“Although Terrence has many problems, he is still a talented member of a prestigious family. He shouldn’t be stooping so low as to marry a country girl. I advise you to forget about these superficial issues and call off the wedding as soon as possible. Find a new wife for Terrence. If you trust me, I can actually make a match for Terrence. I have a niece from my mother’s side who is 30 years old and still hasn’t had a relationship. Although she’s a few years older than Terrence, there’s a saying – an older woman is like a gold brick!”

Eleanor Armstrong also knew about the niece Lilly White mentioned.

Not only was she a leftover woman, but she was also a 350-pound overweight woman.

She needed assistance for eating, drinking, and basic hygiene.

Though Eleanor was infuriated, she kept a calm demeanor, “Thank you for your kindness, Auntie, but there’s no need. Terrence and Viola have a great relationship.”

Eleanor’s direct refusal made Lilly White unhappy.

What was this?

Terrence thought he was too good for her niece?

Though her niece was overweight, she graduated from a prestigious university and had a fortune of tens of millions – she would never want for anything in her life.

What did that little country girl have?

She probably didn’t even graduate from junior high school.

Eleanor was utterly ungrateful.

Bianca Lentz chimed in, “Sister-in-law, you should accept this incredible offer! If you miss this opportunity, you’ll have nowhere to hide. You know Terrence’s situation; do you really want him to marry a country girl?”

Continuing, Bianca Lentz said, “l don’t care either way, since I’m already married. But this will affect my second brother and his wife’s reputation. Even if you don’t care for yourselves, consider your nieces and nephews.”

The Lentz Clan had high standards.

No one had ever married a country girl before.

Terrence would be the first.

If that happened, wouldn’t it be humiliating?

Harlan Lentz coughed lightly, “We’re here today to discuss father’s illness.”

“Big brother, I’m just concerned about you and Terrence. Why aren’t you happy about it?”

Harlan Lentz didn’t want to discuss it further, but hearing those words, he turned his head to face Bianca Lentz squarely, “Thank you, but I don’t need your concern. If you have time, you should focus more on father.”

Bianca Lentz humphed.

Knocking came from outside the door.

Eleanor went to answer it.

The visitor was a tall, curly-haired young woman.

Seeing the visitor, Eleanor was taken aback.

The woman laughed, “Auntie.”

Only then did Eleanor react, “It’s Ivy! My, how you’ve changed! I didn’t even recognize you! ”

The visitor was named Ivy Taylor.

She was Bianca Lentz’s only daughter. Ivy continued, “l came to see grandpa.”

Eleanor stepped back, “Please, come in.”

While Ivy walked in, she asked, “Are my uncles and aunt here?”

“Yes.” Eleanor nodded.

Ivy came in and greeted everyone one by one.

Seeing her daughter, Bianca Lentz was very surprised, “Ivy! When did you come back? Why didn’t you let me know in advance?”

Ivy had been studying abroad and hadn’t returned for three years.

Her sudden return astonished Bianca Lentz.

“Does your father know you’re back?” Bianca asked.

Ivy shook her head, “l didn’t tell dad!”

“You, child!”

Ivy continued, “l heard grandpa was sick, so I bought a plane ticket overnight. How is he now? Is he okay?”

You see.

This is what a filial child looks like,

Unlike some people who, despite knowing that Patriarch Lentz was sick, couldn’t be reached.

Good-for-nothings are just that – good-for-nothings.

They don’t have an ounce of filial piety..
