Adam Swantz smirked, “That Liu guy’s happiness for the rest of his life is pretty much ruined because of her.”

Seemingly not expecting CEO Cooper’s ending, Terrence Lentz raised his eyebrows slightly, “That girl sure is wild.”

victory!

At the same time, a victorious sound came from the game.

“What did you say, Third Brother?” It wasn’t that Adam Swantz had bad hearing, but rather, he couldn’t believe Terrence Lentz could have such a reaction.

After all, Terrence Lentz wasn’t even interested in his beautiful fiancée Emma, so how could he comment on a stranger girl.

However, in the blink of an eye, Terrence Lentz returned to his previous demeanor, threw down the mouse, and his handsome face looked somewhat dispirited, “…Won again. Boring.”

Adam Swantz was speechless, then said, “Third Brother, if you could devote the energy you spend on playing games to the right path, you wouldn’t be like this now.”

Everyone said Terrence Lentz was a good-for-nothing, and couldn’t be helped.

But Adam Swantz didn’t think so.

After all, playing games requires talent, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t be as amazing as Terrence Lentz, who ranked first in various game leaderboards.

“It’s getting late, I’m going back first.” Terrence Lentz stood up and yawned.

Before leaving, he drank a glass of red wine on the table.

“Third Brother, drive slowly.” Adam Swantz stood up.

Terrence Lentz waved back at Adam Swantz without turning his head, “No need to see me off.”

On this side, as soon as Terrence Lentz left, Mrs. Swantz came upstairs and grabbed Adam Swantz’s ear.

“Ouch, ouch, ouch!” Adam Swantz cried out in pain, “Mom, are you trying to murder your own child?”

“Can’t you learn from your younger brother? All day you just waste your time following that good-for-nothing!” Mrs. Swantz was disappointed and let go of Adam Swantz’s ear, sighing, “If things keep going like this, the family business will all be Derek’s!”

Derek Swantz and Adam Swantz were brothers with the same father but different mothers.

When their father was young, he loved to play around, having hosting flags at home while raising red flags outside. One day, he suddenly brought back a seven-year-old boy and told Mrs. Swantz that the child’s mother was gone.

Although Mrs. Swantz was heartbroken, she had no choice but to accept the fact since she and Mr. Swantz were married for the sake of their families.

Both families would either prosper or decline together.

Fortunately, over the years, Derek had been behaving well and was very respectful to her as his mother.

On the other hand, Adam Swantz, the legitimate eldest son, became increasingly disappointing, mingling with people like Terrence Lentz all day long.

What kind of future could he have?

Adam Swantz didn’t take this matter to heart and grinned at Mrs. Swantz, “A real man should have ambitions, breaking into the world and conquering it! What kind of man cares only about the family’s inherited business all day! Mom, don’t underestimate Third Brother just because he might not have any achievements right now. I believe that one day, he’ll definitely become outstanding!”

“Why do you think so?” Mrs. Swantz asked.

Could it be that Terrence Lentz had been hiding his true abilities all these years?

Upon hearing this, hope surged in Mrs. Swantz’s heart.

After all, Terrence Lentz had once been a well-known figure in Capital City.

However, Adam Swantz’s next words completely extinguished Mrs. Swantz’s hope, “Because Third Brother is so good at games! Mom, do you know how terrifying he is? He can keep winning, and even the game’s live streamers are no match for him! He’s the number one player on the server!”

Slap!

Mrs. Swantz slapped Adam Swantz on the head.

“Mom, I’m telling the truth! Why are you hitting me?” Adam Swantz looked at Mrs. Swantz with a wronged expression.

Mrs. Swantz was almost driven mad, “Playing games, playing games! Do you know anything other than playing games? Can you eat playing games? Adam, do you know that you are the eldest son of the family!”

“So what if I’m the eldest son? Does that mean I have to inherit the family business?” Adam Swantz was too lazy to get involved in all those intrigues, and if Derek Swantz liked that kind of thing, he could do it, “Mom, can you not push me?”

Mrs. Swantz looked at Adam Swantz, feeling utterly helpless.

How could she have given birth to such an ambitionless son?

Mrs. Swantz sighed and went downstairs.

Her husband, Matthew Swantz, was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper.

Mrs. Swantz walked over and couldn’t help but complain, “All day long you either work or read the newspaper, and don’t even bother to discipline Adam!”

“What’s wrong with him?” Matthew Swantz asked impatiently.His eldest son seems to be good for nothing but causing trouble and messing around with Terrence Lentz.

“You don’t even know what’s going on with Adam, can you even call yourself a qualified father? All I see in your eyes now is Derek! You don’t even know to care about Adam now…”

Before Mrs. Swantz could finish her sentence, Matthew Swantz impatiently took out a card from his pocket and slapped it on the table, “Eight million, don’t bother me with this stuff in the future.”

As far as Matthew Swantz was concerned, his son Adam was a lost cause.

He couldn’t count on him in the future.

Thankfully, he still had Derek Swantz.

He didn’t want to waste time on a son who was already useless.

Hearing this, Mrs. Swantz’s eyes immediately brightened, and she immediately turned into a virtuous and good wife, picking up the gold card on the table with one hand and putting the other on Matthew Swantz’s shoulder, “Honey, let me give you a massage.”

At this moment.

Derek Swantz walked in with a document from outside, “Mom and Dad.”

Mrs. Swantz nodded, “Derek is back.”

“Mmm.” Derek walked over to Matthew Swantz, “Dad, this is the contract sent over from HK. There are some terms that need to be discussed with you.”

Hearing this, Matthew Swantz immediately stood up, “Let’s go to the study.”

Mrs. Swantz watched the two figures leave, admiration in her eyes. She wished that Derek could be her son.

Unfortunately, her son only knew how to waste away his time.

…

On the other side.

The Thompson Clan residence.

Reg Thompson sat in the living room with an angry, murderous presence, his face turn with veins popping out.

Viola Thompson’s face wasn’t any better.

Both of them never expected that Olga would wake up halfway through, let alone that she would have such guts to beat CEO Cooper into a cripple.

Tap, tap, tap.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door.

The housekeeper came over and whispered, “Sir, ma’am, Miss Viola Thompson is back.”

You little wretch! Finally, you’re back!

Viola Thompson walked through the living room as if she hadn’t seen the furious duo and headed straight for the spiral staircase.

“Stop!” Reg Thompson shouted angrily.

“Do you have any orders?” Viola Thompson stopped and looked back slightly.

Her face was shrouded in white light, making it difficult to make out her expression.

“Kneel down!”

Kneel? Viola Thompson raised her lips slightly, leaning nonchalantly over the railing of the spiral staircase, a standard Boss posture, “Sorry, the era of the Emperor has long gone. This is the 21st Century.”

Seeing Viola Thompson not only failing to recognize her error but also acting carelessly, Reg Thompson’s breath deepened in anger, “You little devil! Do you know who you offended tonight!”

“You need to rush to the hospital now to apologize to CEO Cooper, kneel down and beg for his forgiveness! Otherwise, you won’t set foot in this house ever again!”

“Do you mean to sever our father-daughter relationship?” Viola Thompson raised her eyebrows slightly, “Or do you think selling your daughter for glory is very honorable? How do you plan to explain this to the Lentz Clan?”

Viola Thompson asked three questions in a row, each one making Reg Thompson choke.

After saying that, Viola Thompson turned and left.

Olga could not help herself but curse Viola outright, “You’re just a wretch! Have you no manners at all? We’ve raised you for so long, and this is how you repay us?”

“Am I the wretched one?” Viola Thompson looked back with a smile, her voice light and carefree, “Then what are you?”

Olga was, in name, Viola’s foster mother.

Olga calling Viola a wretch was tantamount to cursing herself out as well.
