Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Facing Edwin’s confusion, she explained, “Although I don’t need it this time, I think there will be a lot of similar occasions in the future, so I can make some preparations and pick a few more.”

Edwin’s eyes lit up. He finally found a chance to spend money on Caroline. However, Caroline continued, “Give me your account number too. I’ll transfer the money to you directly after I’ve picked it.”

The light in Edwin’s eyes dimmed as he helplessly spread out his hands. “Alright,” he said.

Mrs. Hall’s banquet was held in the official residence’s banquet hall. Caroline chose a black sequined cross-neck dress and a pair of silver high heels. She looked elegant and beautiful.

Edwin watched as she walked down from the second floor, unable to take his eyes off her. He exclaimed, “You’re really beautiful tonight.”

He held Caroline’s hand. “If only I could be by your side tonight. How nice would that be?”

Unfortunately, this charity dinner was only for female guests, so Edwin couldn’t attend as a family member. He could only arrange a car and bodvguards for Caroline to send her off.

“If you encounter someone who makes things difficult for you, you can fight back directly. If you’re too lazy to fight, you can hide behind Joline. She’s very strong in combat and will definitely deal with those people who cause trouble.”

Edwin knew that Caroline was very powerful, but after guessing the environment she grew up in, he was also afraid that she would be at a disadvantage in terms of the ways of the world and be controlled by others, so he was worried and warned her.

“Don’t worry, I can handle such a small matter.” Caroline understood his feelings. She leaned forward and kissed him on the side of his face. Then, she got into the car and headed to the banquet hall.

“My dear, did I forget something?” Mrs. Hall pushed open the door and asked her husband who was reading an official document in the room.

Mr. Hall looked up from the document and sized her up. “Probably a brooch?” he asked.

Mrs. Hall smacked her head. “Right, how could I forget such an important thing?”

She had a diamond brooch, which was an adult gift from her mother. It was originally a necklace.

Mrs. Hall thought that the necklace was her lucky charm, so she would wear it on special occasions. However, when she got older, it didn’t match her image and temperament to wear such a young necklace, so she changed the necklace into a brooch.

Mrs. Hall went to the drawer in the inner room and took out the brooch. She put it on the dress and walked out. “My dear, don’t forget what I just said.”

“I’ve already called Mr. Anderson,” Mr. Hall said helplessly. “We’ve already expressed our gratitude.”

“No, no, no,” Mrs. Hall insisted. “The person we should thank is Caroline, not Mr. Anderson. It’s impolite to go around the person in question to thank others.”

Mr. Hall knew that his wife had her own little insistence on many things, so h agreed. “Alright, we’ll personally thank Miss Lambert for saving our little princess.”

Mr. Hall wasn’t a heartless and ungrateful person. Caroline saved his daughte and the couple had to thank her. But Mr. Hall felt that things were too coincidental, so coincidental that it made people suspect that there was some kind of conspiracy.

After learning about the tea garden incident, Mr. Hall acted as if nothing had happened on the surface and suppressed the matter to prevent it from being leaked out. However, he secretly sent people to seal off the tea garden and conducted a detailed investigation.

From what Mrs. Hall and Julie had said, as well as the traces left at the scene c the accident, something serious had happened. But was Caroline, who had jus turned eighteen, really as powerful as they said?

Mr. Hall didn’t really believe it.

More importantly, as the future mistress of the Anderson family, Caroline Lambert was also a person worth paying attention to. Hence, his think tank had already done a thorough research on Caroline. His impression of Caroline was that she was a girl with a rather tragic background, ordinary abilities, and personality.

Therefore, the contradiction was too big, and it made Mr. Hall feel that the whole thing was too out of place. He had always suspected that the kidnapping that happened in the tea garden wasn’t that simple. Whether Caroline was as brave and kind as Mrs. Hall said, he was still in doubt.

That was why Mr. Hall had suggested to thank the Anderson family. This way, no matter what reasons Caroline or the Anderson family had, he would be able to deal with them openly..
