Bartley Lentz and Len Lentz were nearly in tears. How could they have known that Terrence Lentz wasn't lying? Even more, they couldn't have imagined that their good-for-nothing brother turned out to have such an astonishing background! If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, who would dare believe that so many powerful figures were vying to be Terrence Lentz's groomsmen? Charlotte Young and Sophie's faces turned ashen; they immediately knelt on the ground. "Mom, Dad, we were wrong. We were blind and looked down on people before. We shouldn't have said those things about the third son. But no matter what, we're still blood-related siblings!" "Mom, Dad, please just give us one more chance." No one had expected that Terrence Lentz was indeed the famed Mr. Terrence. And not only Mr. Terrence. He was also the renowned figure known as J. Whether it was the prince of Kopper Country, the heir of the Desert Kingdom, or the giants of chemistry and finance... These people, usually untouchable in their eyes, had to act humbly in front of Terrence. This text is hosted at novel⟡fire.net "Want to attend the wedding, is that it?" Harlan Lentz asked. "Yes! After all, Terrence is our own brother. As his siblings, we certainly can't miss his wedding!" Charlotte Young responded eagerly. Upon hearing her words, Eleanor Armstrong shot back instantly, "Now you remember you're the older brother and sister-in-law of the third son? Back when you both wanted to sever ties with him, why didn't you think of yourselves as family then? Where were your thoughts when you did that? I've seen through you both now—you're nothing but a bunch of ungrateful and vicious people!" Harlan Lentz couldn't be bothered to waste more words on them and motioned to Eleanor Armstrong to stop, then turned to the group and said, "If you want to attend the wedding, go find the invitation! As long as the invitation is found, the letter of severance can be nullified!" After hearing this, they didn't say another word and immediately dashed upstairs. The invitation had been thrown into the upstairs trash bin at that time. But they had overlooked one crucial detail. Several days had passed, and the trash bin had already been emptied. Harlan Lentz's intention in asking them to find the invitation was because he didn't want to leave them a way out. After all, they were the ones who personally cut off their escape route. On Elizabeth Thompson's side, she was closely monitoring the details of Terrence Lentz's wedding. "I heard Terrence's groomsmen have arrived? Who are they?" "Only Adam Swantz showed up," Gideon responded. To be exact, Gideon had merely seen Adam Swantz arriving at the Lentz Clan's place before rushing to Elizabeth Thompson to report the news. He had missed the most spectacular scene. Upon hearing this, Elizabeth Thompson's eyes filled with mockery. "Adam Swantz?" Isn't this scumbag cut from the same cloth as Terrence Lentz? Olga covered her mouth, laughing, "That good-for-nothing brags about how amazing he is—didn't he say there'd be princes and financial magnates coming to act as his groomsmen?" Unexpected, wasn't it? All talk, no substance. In the end, it was nothing but a laughingstock for others. Matthew Swantz had been feeling particularly relaxed in recent days. The Swantz Group, under Derek Swantz's management, was thriving, and Matthew Swantz had even brought back the lover he'd kept outside for years. This lover was none other than Derek Swantz's birth mother, Isabella Rotberg. Not only was Isabella Rotberg soft-spoken and beautiful, but she also had a knack for strategy. Just a few days after stepping into the household, she managed to charm Matthew Swantz into getting their marriage certificate, successfully becoming his legal wife. Isabella Rotberg had been waiting for Matthew Swantz for half a lifetime. Finally, at fifty years old, she had achieved her perfect ending. How could she not feel triumphant? What about the first wife? What about the mistress? As long as one is the loved one, they'll always reach a happy result eventually. The unloved one is the real mistress. At this moment, Matthew Swantz was seated in his office, looking at Derek Swantz. "Anything new with May Marcine recently?" Though the Marcine Family had already collapsed, even a dying camel is bigger than a horse, and Matthew Swantz still harbored some caution toward them. In case the Marcine Family managed a comeback, he wanted to ensure he had contingencies in place. Derek Swantz answered respectfully, "Dad, Aunt May hasn't made any moves for now." At this point, Derek Swantz added, "Also, Adam is still the same as ever, following Terrence Lentz around every day. I heard Adam is one of Terrence's groomsmen for his wedding this time." That good-for-nothing again! Upon hearing this, Matthew Swantz's eyes were filled with disgust. Who would've thought Adam Swantz was still such useless deadweight? A person like him was completely unworthy of being called his son! Derek Swantz suddenly seemed to remember something, "Oh, Dad, it seems the Marcine Family hasn't heard about your divorce from Aunt May yet." Matthew Swantz narrowed his eyes at this information. The Marcine Family doesn't know yet? Does May Marcine imagine she could reconcile with him? The idea of remarrying her was simply wishful thinking!
