    Ka.


    Eleanor Armstrong was taken aback, then as if suddenly remembering something, she quickly stood up from her chair. She looked at the girl in front of her, uncertainty brewing in her eyes, “Are you Ka?”


    The Lentz and Sullivan families lived next door to each other.


    The two families got along fairly well; although there wasn’t much interaction on a regr basis, there also hadn’t been any friction over the years.


    If either family needed something, a small sound from one side would be sure to be answered with assistance from the other.<div>


    After all, the saying goes that close neighbors are better than distant rtives.


    Ka Sullivan went abroad to study at a very young age, and since then she rarely returned home. Thest time they saw Ka was sixteen years ago.


    Back then, Ka was still a child!


    Who would have thought so much time had passed in the blink of an eye.


    “Yes, it’s Ka.” Ka Sullivan nodded, smiling, “I live next door! Mrs. Eleanor, you really don’t recognize me?”


    Eleanor Armstrongughed and hugged Ka Sullivan, “Ka, you’ve turned into a beautifuldy; I hardly recognize you!”


    Ka Sullivan was a textbook beauty.


    With an oval face and almond eyes, having been immersed in Western culture, she exuded confidence, mboyance, and charm.


    “Not at all, I’m still the same,” Ka’s ttery was impable, “On the other hand, Mrs. Eleanor, you’re getting younger and younger.”


    Eleanor Armstrong was highly delighted by Ka’s ttery and couldn’t stopughing.


    “By the way, Mrs. Eleanor, I brought you a little present from overseas. I hope you’ll ept it.” As she finished, Ka handed her gift bag to Eleanor Armstrong.


    Eleanor Armstrongughed, “You traveled all the way back from Uron Country, it would suffice to bring gifts for your mother. Why did you bring me something!”<div>


    Having circted in the society of wealthy women, Eleanor Armstrong instantly recognized that Ka had brought back a limited-edition cosmetic, one of the big international brands.


    Even with resources, one would need to ce an order a year in advance.


    Eleanor Armstrong had tried to book it, but her luck wasn’t the best, as every time she tried, others got there first.


    Therefore, even though this cosmetic cream had been around for three years, she had never been able to use it.


    The sudden gift was quite a surprise for Eleanor Armstrong.


    Ka smiled, “All these years while I was in Uron Country, every time I called my mother, she would always mention you. She often said that even though she has no sisters, only a brother, you’re like a big sister to her. You’ve taken such good care of her, that my mother especially told me that whatever she has, her older sister should have a share too.”


    Nice words are always weed, and of course, Eleanor Armstrong was no exception.


    Eleanor Armstrongughed and epted the gift Ka handed her. With one arm around Ka’s, “Come on Ka,e sit with Auntie.”


    Ka followed her in.


    Sixteen years had passed, and the Lentz’s house had changed quite a bit.


    She surveyed the room’s decoration without changing her expression.


    “Are my brother and sister-inw not home today?” Ka asked.<div>


    Eleanor Armstrong nodded, “They have gone to work.”


    Kaughed, “By the way, Mrs. Eleanor, I met Terrence and my future sister-inw a few days ago. The future sister-inw is really beautiful, she and Terrence are truly a pair made in heaven.”


    Hearing this, Eleanor Armstrong looked even more cheerful.


    She enjoyed it when other people praised her daughter-inw.


    Just looking at Eleanor Armstrong, it was clear that she was very satisfied with Vi Thompson.


    Eleanor Armstrong continued to ask, “Ka, do you have a boyfriend?”


    “Not yet.” Ka shook her head.


    Eleanor Armstrong looked at Ka, “Ka, you’re so beautiful, there must be many who are pursuing you?”


    “Mrs. Eleanor, you tter me too much. If only someone were interested in me, I would have gotten married long ago,” Ka sighed, “It’s because no one is pursuing me.”


    Eleanor Armstrong knew she was joking, “Should I set you up with someone?”


    “Sure!” Ka readily agreed.


    As she spoke, Ka continued, “By the way Mrs. Eleanor, when is Terrence nning to get married?”<div>


    Hearing this, Eleanor Armstrong shook her head, “I’m not too clear about when exactly the wedding will take ce. At the very least, we’ll have to wait until Vi graduates!”


    “The future sister-inw hasn’t graduated?” Ka asked.


    “Yes.” Eleanor Armstrong nodded, “She’s about to take the College Entrance Examination.”


    Ka Sullivan narrowed her eyes imperceptibly,ughing, “I heard that the future sister-inw is the youngdy of the Thompson family in the Capital City. Terrence must have umted a lot of good karma in his past life to be marrying her!”


    Ka had a clear purpose for her visit.


    First was to test Eleanor Armstrong’s attitude.


    The second was to confirm Vi Thompson’s identity.


    She couldn’t help but feel Vi Thompson had ulterior motives.


    Thinking from a logical perspective, it seemed unlikely that Vi Thompson, the Young Miss of the Thompson family, would be interested in someone who was good-for-nothing.


    It was clear.


    There was something more happening beneath the surface.


    Perhaps, Vi Thompson had always known Terrence Lentz’s true identity.<div>


    Eleanor Armstrong turned to look at Ka, then continued, “So I often tell Terrence that he should be great to Vi, she truly is a rare good girl.”


    After all, the person who was originally betrothed to Terrence wasn’t Vi.


    After bing the Young Lady of the Thompson family, Vi had even less of a reason to continue with this engagement.


    But not only did Vi not break off the engagement, she still behaved as she used to.Ka Sullivan nodded.


    Now she could almost confirm that Vi Thompson definitely knew about Terrence Lentz’s true identity.


    Because people are realistic, in this world, no one wants to gamble with their future.


    For girls like Vi Thompson who are from a great aristocratic family? Even less likely!


    Like the saying goes –


    It is easy to switch from frugality to luxury, but it’s hard to switch from luxury to frugality.


    People who have been used to good days, who would wish to go through tough days, let alone Terrence who is known as a good-for-nothing!


    With a gentle tone, Ka asked, “Auntie, I am really curious about my little sister-inw now, can you tell me about her and my brother Terrence’s story?”


    “Of course!”<div>


    Eleanor Armstrong was very willing to share the story of Vi Thompson and Terrence Lentz with Ka Sullivan.


    After listening to the whole story, Ka Sullivan got a general understanding of Vi Thompson.


    A girl with many a n.


    From the beginning, her willingness to be a substitute bride shows her ulterior motives.


    Why is Vi willing to marry a man whom Elizabeth Thompson was unwilling to?


    This indicated that Vi wanted to escape from the control of her foster parents. Even though Terrence had a bad reputation outside, the Lentz n was nevertheless a wealthy family in River City. As the son of the Lentz n, Terrence had everything from luxury cars to expensive vis.


    Vi, who was a country girl – even though she was beautiful, she couldn’t possibly find a better man than Terrence.


    What kind of man could a country girl marry?


    At the most a country man who is her counterpart!


    A country man can’t even talk about luxury cars and vis—they might even find it difficult to buy a decent house.


    So, for Vi at that time, being able to marry Terrence would already be considered a step up!


    As to why, after being recognized by her parents and taking on the status of a daughter of the Thompson family, Vi still clung to Terrence, it’s because she had discovered Terrence’s secret.


    After all, spending all day with Terrence, it was exceedingly simple for her to discover something!


    Can you tell me which woman in this world wouldn’t wish to marry Mr. Terrence?


    If Terrence really was that Mr. Terrence, then Vi caught a big bargain and naturally wouldn’t want to leave Terrence.


    Thinking about this, Ka Sullivan squinted her eyes.


    Can only say that Vi was lucky! She appeared just at the very moment when Terrence was testing human nature.


    Ka Sullivan now regrets.


    Regrets noting back early. Coming back at this time, it would be too awkward.


    All the things that could be done, Vi Thompson had already done.


    But no need to rush.


    There’s plenty of time ahead.


    Eleanor Armstrongughed and said, “When Terrence started dating Vi, I had misunderstood Vi and even showed some attitude toward her. But Vi is a girl who understands the greater good and etiquette. Not only did she not hold a grudge against me, but she alsoforted me not to think too much.”


    Ka Sullivan nodded, “My little sister-inw is really great. I knew she was a kindhearted person when I first saw her.”


    As they were talking-


    Footsteps sounded in the living room.


    Looking up, Ka Sullivan’s heart rate elerated.


    The man’s body was broad and his legs were long. Dressed very simply in a ck shirt and matching suit pants, he walked step by step, seeming to do nothing but causing people’s minds to be in chaos and their breathing to quicken, as if each step he took was on her heart’s apex.


    His pair of delicate phoenix eyes slightly lifted, sharp and deep, able to see through all tricks anytime, making people reluctant to y any tricks in front of him.


    Ka Sullivan lowered her head.


    Eleanor Armstrong said, “Terrence’s back, look, Ka’s here. You two used to y together when you were young!”


    Upon hearing this, Terrence Lentz half turned his eyes, nodded at Ka Sullivan in greeting, and then went upstairs.


    Eleanor Armstrong walked to Ka’s side,ughing, “Terrence is just this kind of person. Other than being able tough in front of Vi, he’s like this to everyone else. Don’t mind him, Ka.”


    “How could I,” Ka Sullivan certainly wouldn’t take such things to heart, “This only shows that brother Terrence is devoted.”


    Her voice was neither loud nor soft, just enough for Terrence Lentz to hear.


    Ka Sullivan had her own understanding of love.


    In one’s life, one should boldly pursue love, and not leave regrets in one’s life.


    But she didn’t study abroad just toe back and be a mistress.


    So, she had to make Terrence Lentz take the initiative to pursue her, and fall under her petticoat hem.


    Thinking of this, Ka Sullivan smiled a little.


    On the other side-


    Gregory Diet and Beatrice ck had returned to Olsand Vige.


    Ryan Diet looked at the two of them and frowned, “She didn’te back with you?”


    These two old things weren’t even able to bring back a single person – what a waste.


    Seeing his son’s displeasure, Beatrice ck immediately said, “Bao, don’t worry. Even though we didn’t manage to bring back the girl this time around, but we did bring back money — a full 100,000 dors.”


    “Your father and I discussed this. If she could take out 100,000 dors in one go, it means her card bnce exceeds 100,000 dors. So, wait a few days and I’ll call her again to transfer all her money over to us.”
