He really thinks of himself as Mr. Bennett now, huh? Beverly Lentz quietly approached Zane Lentz and lowered her voice, "Second Brother, do you think we're really going tomorrow?" Zane was taken aback, "Go where?" Beverly continued, "To Terrence's wedding!" Zane threw his cigarette butt on the ground and extinguished it with his toe. "We'll go! No matter what, Terrence is the most beloved son of Big Brother and Sister-in-law. If we don't go, they'll definitely be devastated." Although Zane loved money and coveted his father's inheritance, deep down, he wasn't an inherently bad person. Greed didn't necessarily mean he lacked a conscience. Big Brother and Sister-in-law's two sons had already thrown away their invitations, and nearly half of their relatives and friends were not planning to attend the Lentz Clan's wedding. The Lentz Clan originally had over a hundred banquet tables of invited guests. But this time, barely ten tables would be filled. Upon hearing this, Beverly frowned discreetly, "If the wedding does happen, of course we have to attend! But as of now, is the wedding even confirmed?" "Whether it is or not, we have to attend," Zane said firmly before glancing at Bianca Lentz. "You didn't throw away your invitation, did you?" "Of course not!" Despite her own tendency toward selfishness, Bianca couldn't bring herself to be heartless. After all, Terrence was her biological nephew. With those words, Zane heaved a sigh of relief, "Good, then spare me the nonsense. Join me tomorrow." Bianca nodded, "Got it." After speaking, Bianca seemed to recall something and added, "But I've heard that Terrence's brothers, Terrence Lentz Jr. and Terrence Lentz III, aren't going." They were Terrence's very own brothers! Zane furrowed his brow, "Ungrateful and vicious men, the both of them! If they can even sever ties, what wouldn't they do? Truly disgraceful offspring!" Upon hearing this, Bianca also sighed. The rightful source is novel_fіre.net Zane walked up to Terrence and spoke earnestly, "Terrence, don't worry. Your Second Uncle and Aunt will definitely attend your wedding! Besides, if there's anything troubling you, don't hesitate to ask us, alright? No need to be polite!" After all, families share unbreakable bonds. Watching Terrence—once reaching the apex of life and now reduced to this—left his uncle unable to feel at ease. Terrence gazed at Zane, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes, "Thank you, Second Uncle." "No need to thank me," Zane patted Terrence's shoulder. "Family is family, come what may." Terrence slightly nodded. Relatives who maintained close ties with the Thompson Clan had already arrived. Evan Thompson and Elena Williams returned with their son and daughter-in-law to Capital City. Jayden Thompson and Penny Kalafatis also brought their son back to the Capital. Additionally, Mrs. Thompson's younger sister, Jill Bennett, arrived at the Thompson residence the day before the wedding. The elderly lady was celebrating her milestone 90th birthday this year. Blessed with both children and grandchildren, even her great-grandson was now seven years old—earning her the title of the "good fortune elder" for Viola Thompson's wedding. Jill Bennett sat beside Viola's bed, holding her hand tightly as her eyes brimmed with tears. "Good child, if only your grandmother could see you in a red wedding dress, she would be so overjoyed." Through Jill Bennett, Viola could see a reflection of her grandmother. Her eyes reddened as well, and she hugged Jill tightly. "Auntie Jill, I miss Grandma." Jill gently patted Viola's back. "Good child, don't cry, don't cry. Tomorrow is your big day, you mustn't ruin your makeup with tears." Downstairs, Elena Williams was speaking with Penny Kalafatis. Elena lowered her voice, "Why is the makeup artist still not here? Logically, the makeup artist should have been brought over in advance by the groom's side of the family. Is Terrence really expecting the Thompson family to arrange this for him?" Penny frowned slightly, "I don't think so. From what I've seen, Terrence doesn't seem like that kind of irresponsible person!" The Lentz Clan should consider themselves blessed to have married Viola Thompson. In terms of behavior, Terrence shouldn't be so careless. Elena glanced toward the door, "Maybe they're just on the way!" After saying that, Elena grew curious. "I wonder what level of makeup artist Terrence has hired for Viola!" Given the Lentz Clan's means, a typical makeup artist should be feasible, but securing someone prominent would likely be impossible. A wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime affair. Yet the Lentz Clan couldn't even bring in a renowned makeup artist.
