Chapter 1651: 402: Will not back down!_2 Chapter 1651: 402: Will not back down!_2 Eleanor Armstrong nodded, “It’s true we grew up together, but Susan Salem is so cunning! No matter what, she always wants to compete with me, even in significant life events like marriage and having children.”

Eleanor revealed her grievances and conflicts with Susan Salem to Viola Thompson without reservation.

On the other side, Susan watched their retreating figures with an indescribable look in her eyes.

Why?

Why should all good things go to Eleanor alone?

Terrence Lentz is just a good-for-nothing, why should he have such an outstanding fiancee?

That’s the unattainable Miss Thompson!

Just a moment ago, Susan was proud that her son had a girlfriend from the Charles family.

The next moment, reality slapped her hard in the face.

It hurt so much!

In terms of family background, the Tiarks Clan was far more eminent than the Lentz Clan.

In terms of talent, Hobar Salmen had founded his own software company at a young age and had an annual income of over a hundred million.

Susan couldn’t understand why her son would lose to a good-for-nothing like Terrence Lentz!

Terrence Lentz wasn’t even comparable to her son’s little finger!

She saw her mother standing alone, lost in her thoughts in the banquet hall.

Hobar slightly furrowed his brow and excused himself from his girlfriend before approaching Susan.

“Mom.”

Susan then came to her senses and turned to look at Hobar, “Son.”

Although she tried hard to muster a faint smile, her expression still looked somewhat unsightly.

Hobar asked with concern, “Mom, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

Susan shook her head, “No, nothing.”

In fact, she had a lot on her mind, but she didn’t know where to begin.

Hobar continued, “Mom, Mary’s father and Miss Thompson know each other quite well. Do you want me to have her introduce you to Miss Thompson?”

“No need,” Susan’s face turned somewhat pale.

Hobar was puzzled, “Why?”

Susan responded, “I just met Miss Thompson.”

Hearing this, Hobar was very surprised, “You’ve already met her?”

“Yes,” Susan nodded.

A moment passed, and then she uncertainly asked, “By the way, Hobar, are you sure the person who came tonight was Miss Thompson?”

At this point, Susan was still clinging to hope.

What if it wasn’t Viola Thompson?

It was obvious to anyone that Viola Thompson wouldn’t be with Terrence Lentz.

After saying this, Susan looked at Hobar expectantly.

How much she wanted to hear a confirmation from Hobar.

Yes.

That was not Miss Thompson.

Miss Thompson did not attend the bonfire banquet tonight.

But reality once again harshly slapped Susan as Hobar added, “That was Miss Thompson. Didn’t you see her? Even Professor Lock was very respectful toward her.”

This scene was probably only visible tonight.

After all, Professor Lock himself was a big boss, and whoever met him would bow and scrape.

But only tonight.

The venerable, seventy-year-old Professor Lock stood beside Viola Thompson, looking as awkward as a child.

Not hearing the answer she wanted, Susan was quite desperate.

Hobar frowned slightly without showing it too much, “Mom, did something happen?”

Susan sighed.

A moment later, she said, “Son, we still lost.”

Susan could accept losing to anyone.

But she couldn’t accept that her son lost to a good-for-nothing.

Hobar looked utterly baffled, “Mom, what are you talking about?”

He couldn’t quite understand what his mother was saying.

Susan turned to look at Hobar and continued, “Hobar, do you know who Terrence Lentz’s fiancee is?”

Hobar shook his head.

Honestly, if his mother hadn’t brought it up again, he would have nearly forgotten about this person from his childhood memories.

Susan had a bitter expression.

Hobar joked, “The way you are saying it, Terrence Lentz’s fiancee can’t really be Miss Thompson, can she?”

“Yes,” Susan nodded.

Hearing this, Hobar’s eyes widened, incredulously asking, “Mom, what are you talking about?”

Susan sighed again, “I’m saying, Miss Thompson is really Terrence Lentz’s fiancee.”

Hobar burst out laughing, “Mom, are you kidding me?”

Terrence Lentz and Viola Thompson were from two different worlds, how could they possibly be fiances?

That was no different than a fairy tale!

Susan continued, “At first, I didn’t believe it either.”

Seeing his mother like this, Hobar also realized something was off and frowned, “Mom, are you serious?”
