Chapter 699: 227: It’s too late for regrets! _5
The elevator stopped on the seventeenth floor.
There was a sterile room on the seventeenth floor, with a well-equipped elite medical team in it.
After the elevator doors opened, a doctor in a white coat immediately greeted him, “How are you feeling today?”
It had been almost half a year since Viola Thompson last treated him.
At this point, Terrence Lentz had returned to his previous state.
His condition was even worse than before.
“Did you take your medicine on time today?”
The secretary immediately replied, “Yes, he took it.”
The man sat in a wheelchair, tiredly pressing his temples.
It was almost time for Eleanor Armstrong’s birthday.
As usual, they would hold a big celebration every year; after all, a birthday only happened once a year.
So, the two daughters-in-law of the Lentz Clan, Charlotte Young and Sophie, began planning in advance.
The first and second families both wanted to stand out at the birthday party.
Only then could they receive a larger share of the inheritance.
“Mom, it’s almost your birthday. Where would you like to hold your birthday party this year?” Charlotte asked.
Eleanor shook her head, “I don’t plan to have a birthday party this year. It doesn’t mean much, and it’s also a waste of money.”
“That’s not acceptable! A birthday is important,” Charlotte intentionally brought up Viola Thompson, “By the way, will Miss Thompson attend the party?”
Viola was now the Young Miss Thompson Family, and anyone with a brain would know that she wouldn’t attend Eleanor’s birthday party.
After all, Terrence was just a good-for-nothing.
Charlotte mentioned Viola to upset Eleanor; the more upset Eleanor was, the more she would hate Terrence. In that case, she would definitely not give Terrence a share of the inheritance.
At first, maybe Viola would help Terrence due to his attractiveness, but good looks couldn’t make up for his failings.
What’s the use of having a good appearance with no substance?
Viola would never settle for someone like Terrence now!
“I haven’t told Viola yet.” Eleanor said.
Charlotte narrowed her eyes with a mocking expression at the bottom of her gaze.
Perhaps Eleanor was aware that Viola wouldn’t really care.
Instead of pointing out her mother-in-law’s words directly, Charlotte continued, “Mom, I haven’t seen our third brother in a while. Where is he?”
“It seems he went on a business trip to Country Reasin.” Eleanor answered.
Upon hearing this, Charlotte almost burst out laughing.
A business trip? To Country Reasin? For a good-for-nothing like him?
She thought her mother-in-law must be getting senile, suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.
And it must be pretty severe!
The whole thing was simply ridiculous.
The start of the school term was approaching.
Viola had invited Diana Hershey and Fiona Knight to Capital City, planning to have a small gathering with Rachel Barton, the four of them together.
When Flora Tiarks heard about it, she was thrilled and clamored to join them. Flora hugged Viola’s arm, “Vio, I heard you guys have a little group. Can you add me too?”
She really liked Viola.
This strange fondness was from the first time she saw Viola; she wanted to be good friends with her, so naturally, Viola’s friends became her friends too.
“Sure.” Viola nodded slightly, took her phone, and added Flora to the group.
Diana was the first to see the group message: [Welcome, welcome!]
[Little Flora, mwah.]
Fiona quickly followed with a response, [Wow, hugs for little Flora.]
Rachel also replied to the message.
Flora was excited, [A day this good calls for some red envelopes! Let me send one to help everyone celebrate!]
[I think that’s a great idea!]
[I also think it’s a great idea!]
Diana sent a voice message, “Hurry up and send it! Just in time as I’m running out of pocket money this month!”
Flora immediately sent out a red envelope.
A surprise red envelope.
Viola obviously couldn’t miss out on the red envelope, so she clicked to claim it.
Looking at the amount, Viola was slightly embarrassed and turned to Flora, “How much did you send in total?”
“4000 dollars.” Upon answering, Flora continued, “Vio, how much did you claim?”
Seeing the amount Viola grabbed, Flora laughed so hard her stomach hurt, “Vio, your luck is amazing! You claimed such an auspicious number, a whole 250 dollars, without even a decimal point.”
Out of the four envelopes containing 4000 dollars, Viola had managed to claim a full 250 dollars.
Who else could have such luck?
Flora originally thought that the smallest red envelope would be five to six hundred dollars, and if not that, at least three to four hundred dollars.
She suspected Flora was mocking her, but she had no evidence.
