Matthew Swantz is extremely angry right now.

If he had known that Adam Swantz would turn out like this, he shouldve aborted him back then.

What a prodigal son.

He couldnt even hold a candle to Derek Swantz.

Matthew even began to regret marrying May Marcine in the first place. It was all because Mays family genes were terrible, leading to Adam becoming like this.

May tightened her grip on Adams hand, Adam, go apologize to your father quickly.

l didnt do anything wrong,

May sighed and looked at Matthew, You should say less.

Finishing her sentence, she looked at Adam, Adam, come back to your room with me.

Under these circumstances, she couldnt let this father and son confrontation go on any longer.

Seeing this, Derek immediately helped Matthew, Dad, the doctor said that you cant get angry right now. Matthew took a deep breath.

He didnt want to be angry.

But he had raised a disobedient son.

Since Adam doesnt want to join the company, you shouldnt force him. Upon saying this, Derek paused and continued, l see Adam coming home late these past few days; he is busy with something. Maybe he really can make a name for himself.

Upon hearing this, Matthew burst into laughter.

Adam Swantz?

Could he make a name for himself?

Absolute nonsense.

Other than living a dissolute life, what else can he do!

Derek continued, Give him some time.

Eventually, Matthew sighed deeply, If Adam had even half of your business talent, I wouldnt be worried. Derek, the future of the Swantz Group depends on you!

Derek narrowed his eyes.

After enduring all these years, he had finally waited for this day.

Upstairs.

Mays eyes were red, Adam, have you ever thought about what would happen to me if you left?

In this household, only Adam and she were the closest to each other.

Derek was just the illegitimate son of her husband and another woman.

Adam looked at May, Mom, Im sorry.

May held Adams hand, l have one thing to ask of you.

Mom, I know what youre going to say, Adam sighed heavily, l dont want to join the company. Since Derek wants to be the heir so badly, then let him have it. You have to believe in me even without the Swantz Group, I can still make sure you live a good life.

Adam couldnt handle all the intrigue and scheming.

Moreover, he believed in Terrence Lentz.

The Swantz Group was originally yours, why do you want to give it to that illegitimate son? May was infuriated by his lack of fighting spirit.

Adam remained silent.

May continued, Are you starting a business with Terrence now?

Yes.

May initially thought she would criticize him, but instead, she took out a bank card, If you want to do it, go ahead. Take this card; consider it as Moms investment in you.

Before Adam could say anything, May continued, Dont worry, this is my private money; it has nothing to do with your father.

Adam was still young.

If he didnt experience some setbacks as a young man, he would never grow up.

So, even though May knew that Terrence wouldnt amount to much, she still took out money to support Adam.

Once Adams start-up failed, he would come to his senses and return.

Terrence held the cat, standing on the balcony, gazing into the distance; his delicate phoenix eyes were pitch-black, unfathomable. At this moment, there was a knock on the door behind him.

Terrence glanced back slightly.

Mom.

Eleanor Armstrong walked in with a smile, then asked with some surprise, Where did this cat come from?

She remembered that Terrence didnt like furry animals growing up.

Just got it.

Just got it?

Hearing this, Eleanor was even more astonished.

Terrence had actually started keeping a cat!

It must be raining red from the sky.

Eleanor nodded, Its really fat.

Upon finishing, Eleanor said, If you like cats, Ill have someone send you a Persian with long fur. It would look much better than this stray.

No need, Terrence declined immediately.

Eleanor looked at Terrence, pondered over her words for a moment, and continued, l plan to visit the Thompson Clan tomorrow and cancel the engagement.

She thought it over for a long time.

The character of the Thompson Family was truly bad.

Marrying into the Thompson Clan would be a disgrace to the Lentz Clan.

She absolutely wouldnt accept their adopted daughter as her daughter-in-law.

Ive said it before, Viola Thompson is my only fiance. There was no emotion in Terrences voice.

Upon hearing this, Eleanor frowned slightly.

She initially thought that after calming down for a while, Terrence would come to his senses; unexpectedly, he was still stubborn.

She didnt know what charms that adopted daughter of the Thompson Clan had!

Are you serious?

Yes.

Eleanor sighed, Terrence, I hope you can think it over carefully. That Viola

Thompson is not good enough for you. I promise to find you someone better.bender

With the couples low morals and their biological daughter misbehaving, how could they raise an adopted daughter well?

Perhaps the adopted daughter was even worse than Elizabeth Thompson.

No need, Terrence refused outright.

Seeing her son so resolute, Eleanor felt helpless. She wanted to say something but didnt know what to say.

Back in her room, Eleanor sighed and told Harlan Lentz about the matter.

Harlan seemed optimistic, as if he didnt put it to heart, Since Terrence likes her, you shouldnt interfere.

It was just a matter between the younger generation. As long as Terrence was happy, it would be fine.

What do you mean, 1 shouldnt interfere? Terrence is my son, Eleanor continued, l cant just watch that adopted daughter of the Thompson Clan ruin him!

Harlan smiled, Dont be so pessimistic; perhaps shes a good girl.

What kind of good girl could the Thompson Clan raise? Eleanors eyes were filled with disdain, l used to think Elizabeth Thompson was alright, after all, she was the number one talent in River City. But in the end? What a load of crap! Its all just marketing.

Before, she had always seen Elizabeth through rose-tinted glasses, thinking that she was good in every aspect. Now, she realized that Elizabeth was nothing more than that.

Elizabeth earned the title of River Citys Number One Talent because she did have some abilities, but mostly it was due to marketing hype.

Reg Thompson, who had not read many books, was desperate for his daughter to succeed; he had spent a lot of money on Elizabeth.

Harlan flipped a page of the file as if he thought of a problem, then looked up and asked, The girls name is Viola Thompson, right?

Yes, Eleanor nodded.

Harlan continued, Speaking of which, shes a poor child. It was because the Thompson Clan couldnt have children that they adopted her from the orphanage. At first, she was their beloved, but soon Olga became pregnant. Later, Elizabeth Thompson was diagnosed with liver failure, and it just so happened that the adopted daughters liver was a successful match. She donated half of her liver to Elizabeth. Before she could fully recover, the Thompson Clan sent her to the countryside They brought her back this time to replace Elizabeth Thompson.

Upon hearing this, Eleanors brows furrowed tightly, The Thompson Clan is truly disgusting.

Harlan looked back at Eleanor, So, this child might really be different from the Thompson Family. Dont think too much, as long as Terrence is happy..
