383: Hopping Clown_1
The Thompson Clan agreeing to an engagement with the Lentz Clan was something beyond Charlotte Young's wildest imagination.
They had originally thought they could enjoy a bit of a comedy show.
Unbelievably, Harlan Lentz and Eleanor Armstrong pulled it off.
However, Charlotte did not think that Viola Thompson and Terrence Lentz's relationship would last.
The only reason the Thompson Clan agreed to the engagement must be because they couldn't say no to Viola. Viola, barely in her teens, lacks worldly experience. When she's seen more of the world, how could she possibly set her sights on someone like Terrence?
Hence, the engagement is merely a stopgap measure for the Thompson Clan.
The fact that Terrence returned from Capital City all alone and downcast is proof enough that the Thompson Clan doesn't regard him highly.
If Viola regarded Terrence as her fiancé, she wouldn't have let him return alone. Viola would've definitely accompanied Terrence back home.
