Chapter 34: 034: Are you blind or am I blind?

Eleanor suddenly inquired about Elizabeth Thompson, causing Reg Thompson and Olga to be surprised.

Olga quickly reacted and said with a smile, “Elizabeth is practicing the piano upstairs. The young girl is a bit shy.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Olga turned her head to look at the maid nearby, “You, go call Miss Thompson.”

Eleanor laughed and said, “Since Elizabeth is practicing the piano, don’t bother her.”

Her gaze shifted and Eleanor noticed the bookshelf in the living room, then said, “Are these books what Elizabeth usually reads?”

“Yes.” Olga nodded, her face full of pride, “Her biggest hobby is reading books.”

Eleanor walked to the bookshelf.

All of the books on the shelf were world-famous works.

There was also a book about ancient Egyptian writing.

Eleanor took this book out, somewhat curious, and said, “Is Elizabeth interested in ancient Egyptian culture?”

Olga came over and said, “Yes, she really likes reading this book.”

In fact, it was a pirated book.

Elizabeth couldn’t understand ancient Egyptian writing at all. It was just for show on the bookshelf.

Upon hearing this, Eleanor’s eyes were filled with astonishment.

Ancient Egyptian culture was ancient and mysterious.

For thousands of years, countless scholars have been fascinated by it, but no one could penetrate its mysteries. Unexpectedly, at such a young age, Elizabeth could understand ancient Egyptian writing.

How amazing!

Eleanor’s appreciation for Elizabeth grew even more, and she couldn’t wait for her to marry Terrence right away.

Unfortunately, Elizabeth had yet to graduate from university, so they could only get engaged first.

“Elizabeth will definitely achieve great things in the future!” sighed Eleanor.

Olga maintained a smile, and in her heart, she had already cursed Eleanor hundreds of times.

Even though they knew that Elizabeth would achieve great things in the future, the Lentz Clan still had the nerve to propose an engagement. Terrence should take a look at himself and see what he’s made of!

How disgusting.

“Then let’s rely on your good words.” Olga forced a grin, “I hope this girl can achieve great things in the future.”

Just then, the maid brought a plate of cut fruit.

Olga continued, “Send a portion to Miss Thompson too.”

“Alright.”

Eleanor, in good spirits at the happy occasion, hadn’t even noticed that Olga had initially referred to Elizabeth as “Miss Thompson, ” and now changed it to

“Missy Thompson. ”

On the other side, Patriarch Lentz, Reg Thompson, and Harlan Lentz were discussing the engagement.

Basically, Patriarch Lentz and Harlan Lentz were talking, and Reg Thompson expressed no opinions, only smiling and saying, “Great! Let’s do everything according to what the Patriarch says. I have no objections.”

Patriarch Lentz looked at Reg Thompson, touched deeply in his heart.

Elizabeth was well-known for her beauty. Parents would certainly have a bunch of opinions on the engagement banquet, but Reg Thompson had none at all.

At this moment, Eleanor seemed to remember something and said, “Oh, right, I had two suits made to order abroad. Why not have Elizabeth come down and try them on?”

As she spoke, the maid brought two gift boxes.

Olga smiled and said, “Master had them tailored to Elizabeth’s measurements, so how could they be wrong? No need to try them on.”

A week ago, the Lentz Clan had sent someone to take Elizabeth’s measurements, but at that time, Olga had given Viola Thompson’s measurements instead.

Asking Elizabeth to come try on the clothes now would reveal the secret, wouldn’t it?

“It’s getting late,” Patriarch Lentz stood up from the sofa, “Reg, we’ll be heading back first.”

“Patriarch, let me see you out.” Reg Thompson promptly stood up and accompanied the Lentz Clan as they left.

Olga followed Reg’s footsteps.

Returning to the living room, seeing the engagement gifts brought by the Lentz Clan, Olga’s eyes sparkled, “I must say, the Lentz Clan is really extravagant! These diamonds are all collector-grade, right? And this watch is HRS latest model, limited to three pieces worldwide! Even this bracelet is a collector’s edition, and Mrs. Knight couldn’t even buy it…”

Just thinking of these luxury items being given to Viola Thompson, Olga couldn’t bear the pain.

How could a country girl deserve such high-end items? Only Elizabeth!Thinking of this, Olga called the housekeeper.

“Madam, you called me.”

Olga nodded, and then asked, “Housekeeper, do you know anyone who sells high imitation luxury goods?”

The housekeeper hesitated for a moment, then nodded, “I have a fellow townsman who deals in high imitations.”

Olga asked, “Where does she live?”

“In River City.”

Olga smiled and said, “Perfect. Have them send some imitation versions of these items, we can discuss the price.”

The housekeeper immediately understood Olga’s intentions.

“Okay, madam. I’ll contact him right away.”

Reg Thompson looked at Olga and frowned, “What will you do if she finds out?” Such things would damage their reputation if they were broadcasted.

Olga’s eyes showed nothing but disdain, “That little bastard? What has she seen in her life?”

Since she hasn’t seen anything, how can she tell the real from the fake!

Reg thought about it and didn’t say anything more.

It is indeed a waste to give these good things to Viola Thompson.

The Lentz Clan.

Patriarch Lentz came to Terrence Lentz’s room upstairs.

As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Terrence sitting by the computer.

Patriarch Lentz couldn’t understand the online games that young people love to play, so he could only see the English text on the computer screen.

“Terrence!”

Terrence looked back, “Grandfather.’

“Terrence, your father and I went to the Thompson Clan. Don’t worry, the engagement banquet will still continue.”

At this point, Patriarch Lentz paused, “Miss Thompson is not the kind ot person you think she is.”

Terrence didn’t say anything.

Patriarch Lentz took out a black card, “This is a little token of appreciation from me, take it. There will be many more times when you’ll need money in the future, and when you’re with Miss Thompson, don’t worry about money! I’m not boasting, even if I have ten more spendthrift children, I won’t run out of money!”

“You can just spend it and don’t care about anything else.”

Patriarch Lentz had the demeanor of a nouveau riche.

“Grandfather, you keep the money, I don’t lack it.” Terrence pushed the card back.

Patriarch Lentz was unhappy, frowning, “Take it, child! If you don’t, I will be angry.”

“I warn you, I have a heart condition! If you don’t take it, I’ll have an episode to show you!”

At this moment, Patriarch Lentz was like an untouchable touchy old man.

Terrence’s face was full of helplessness, and he could only let Patriarch Lentz stuff the card into his pocket.

Seeing that Terrence no longer refused, Patriarch Lentz left the room satisfied with his hands behind his back.

The next day.

Olga had someone call Viola Thompson downstairs.

Seeing Viola coming downstairs,

Olga put on a fake smile and pointed to the luxury items arranged on the table,

“Tomorrow is your engagement day with the third young master of the Lentz Clan. These are the betrothal gifts they sent you. There are also two evening dresses for the engagement banquet; see if they fit.”

If it weren’t for fear of the Lentz Clan finding out, Olga wouldn’t even want to give Viola these two dresses.

A chicken wants to become a phoenix?

Viola walked to the table and casually picked up a watch, “An HR wristwatch, invaluable and highly collectible. The limited edition Chanel crocodile skin bag, a collector’s grade pigeon egg diamond ring…”

Her tone was calm, even her expression was calm, but Olga frowned.

How did Viola recognize these luxury items?

Before Olga could react, Viola’s next words made her break out in a cold sweat.

“Switching the real with the fake,” Viola paused, “So…. do you think it’s you who’s blind or me who’s blind?”
