“Mom!”
“Do I need to repeat the same thing twice?” Eleanor Armstrong frowned. Charlotte Young immediately shut her mouth and turned to go upstairs.
She came to the door of the second brothers room and knocked.
“Sophie, are you in there?”
“The door’s open, you can just come in, sister-in-law.” Sophie’s voice came from inside the room.
Charlotte twisted the doorknob and pushed the door open.
Sophie was practicing yoga.
Perhaps it was because of her years of yoga practice that she had such a perfect figure and strong flexibility.
Charlotte was very envious. For a moment she even forgot why she was angry, and couldn’t help but ask: “Sophie, how have you managed to keep this up for so long?”
She too had tried yoga.
But she only lasted three months.
So her figure wasn’t as well maintained as Sophie’s.
Sophie laughed, “You just get used to it. What did you need me for, sister-in-law?”
Only then did Charlotte remember why she was here, and she continued: “Guess what I just saw mom doing downstairs?”
“What was she doing?” Sophie asked.
“Knitting a scarf,” Charlotte said.
As she said this, she added: “But that’s not the point, not the scarf, do you know who the scarf was for?”
“The third son.’
Who in the Lentz Clan doesn’t know that Eleanor Armstrong favors Terrence Lentz the most?
Whatever good things there are at home, Eleanor always wants to save them for Terrence first.
“You guessed wrong this time!” Charlotte declared.
Sophie chuckled lightly, “Then who could it be for? Surely not the eldest brother?”
“No way!’
“Then who is it?” Sophie was very curious. “Sister-in-law, just tell me straight out. Don’t keep me in suspense!”
Charlotte said: “It’s for Viola Thompson! Viola Thompson!”
At that, Sophie was just as shocked.
Viola Thompson?
“Isn’t she the one Mom hates the most among the Thompson Family?” Sophie asked.
“Could it be because of the Beauty Pills?”
Never mind Eleanor, the whole affair with the Beauty Pills had a huge impact on her too.
Even now, Sophie greatly regretted gifting a servant with the Beauty Pills!
She must have been seriously ill then or something.
Charlotte nodded, “That’s what 1 thought too, but she should consider this:
how could Viola, a naive country girl who’s never seen the world, possibly know how to make Beauty Pills?”
They had discussed this matter before.
Eventually, the two sisters-in-law agreed that the Beauty Pills must have been bought.
Even though the Thompson Clan wouldn’t invest a large sum of money to support Viola.
But Viola had Terrence, and also the betrothal gifts from the Lentz Clan.
Sophie squinted her eyes, “It seems that our third brother has made quite a bold move.’
Everyone said Terrence was a good-for-nothing.
But she saw that not only was Terrence not worthless, he was also very scheming!
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have played such a huge hand!
“What do you mean?” Charlotte asked.
Sophie continued: “Doesn’t Mom seem to like Viola a lot right now?” Charlotte nodded, “Like her? It’s more like Mom’s completely bewitched.”
“Mom likes Viola, grandfather likes Viola, and there’s no need to mention our father.” Sophie poured a glass of water for Charlotte, “Who do you think the power to control the household will end up with in the end?”
The Lentz Clan had not been divided for a while now, control over the household and the stakes in the Lentz Corporation. They only held a minority stake, most of it was in the hands of the patriarch and the Lentz couple. The eldest and the second of the Lentz Clan have been struggling bitterly for years over this house controlling power behind the scenes.
At these words, it was as if Charlotte had been woken up with a startling jolt.
She instantly sobered up.
“What you mean to say is?”
Sophie nodded.

“Well played, third brother, I thought he was really a good-for-nothing! Turns out he was playing such a big game!” Charlotte was very angry, “He’s been utterly useless for years, hasn’t contributed a thing to the family or the corporation, why does he get to reap benefits without lifting a finger!’
Realizing that her words about reaping benefits without lifting a finger sounded a bit harsh, Charlotte quickly added: “What I mean is, he isn’t fit to inherit at all!”
Sophie didn’t mind those words though, she laughed: “What’s the use of saying he doesn’t deserve it? Who can help it if all the elders love him?” Charlotte felt like she was about to lose it from anger!
Seeing the expression on Charlotte’s face, Sophie added: “Sister-in-law, there’s no use getting mad, we should just blame our luck.”
These words did not quell Charlotte’s anger. Instead, it only made her angrier..
