Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

As the wife of the highest-ranking governor, Mrs. Hall had a professional team around her. Although she couldn’t do things that had nothing to do with public affairs in order to not be criticized, a charity banquet like this was still within the scope of their duties.

Therefore, although Mrs. Hall was the host and person in charge of the banquet, she only gave an order and made a guest list. After pointing out the main direction, everything else was done for her. She didn’t need to worry too much.

“Then let’s take our seats.” Mrs. Hall pushed the door open and let Joline and Caroline go first. She followed behind them.

The banquet consisted of two processes. The first process was for the guests to get drinks and snacks and socialize. When everyone was full, it was time for the second process, which was the charity auction.

As the banquet was about to begin, almost all the guests had arrived, but Mrs.

Hall, the host, hadn’t appeared yet. The scene at the door where Joline and Caroline were invited to the back by Mrs. Hall to meet by themselves quickly spread throughout the banquet hall through the witnesses.

“What do you think it is?”

“Although the Anderson family is indeed outstanding in the business world, that shouldn’t be the reason why the lady needs to meet them alone, right?”

Although the people present at the scene could more or less tell that Mrs. Hall seemed to value Caroline a lot, the others had not experienced it personally, so they didn’t care much about it. Instead, they thought that Caroline was valued because she was Young Master Anderson’s chosen fiancée.

So, everyone’s speculation was still on how close the relationship between Mr. Hall and the Anderson family was.

As the saying goes, the business world is like a battlefield. The Anderson family was already in the limelight. If their relationship with the current highest governor went further, wouldn’t the Anderson family be even more invincible in the future?

Would the other families also have to adjust their policies and guidelines?

Compared to Kelly, who only focused on jealousy and short-sighted personal gains and losses, the ladies who were more mature were more concerned about the general direction of the problem.

The people who went to the tea house that day thought about what happened that day. Young Master Anderson’s grand appearance and his slightly hurried pace made it seem like the Hall family and the Anderson family were tied together after what happened that day.

Hence, when Joline and Caroline were led into the banquet hall by the waiter, they attracted almost everyone’s attention.

Caroline could clearly feel Joline’s footsteps pausing for a moment. Then, she greeted the acquaintances she met as if nothing had happened.

“Speaking of which, I thought you were looking for a chance to hide again, but when I came in, I found out that you were invited by Mrs. Hall. I have to say, you’re really fast.”

An old lady in a silver gown, who was about the same age as Joline, clinked her glass of champagne with Joline. It seemed like she was joking, but she was actually secretly trying to find out how Mrs. Hall had gotten in touch with the Anderson family so quickly.

Joline sipped the champagne in her hand and smiled. “I just told Mrs. Hall that with her sudden move, I’m afraid the guests outside are going to have all kinds of guesses.”

As soon as she opened her mouth, the people around her who had been talking suddenly fell silent. They thought that Joline would change the subject, but she didn’t hide it at all. Instead, she told everyone about it to make fun of them.

“Actually, it’s not that big of a deal.” Joline patted Caroline, who had been standing obediently beside her. “Caroline and Mrs. Hall’s youngest daughter, due to some not-so-cute accident, met unexpectedly and became new friends. So, Mrs. Hall wanted to get to know Caroline before the banquet started.” In other words, she had benefited from Caroline.

Everyone’s eyes landed on Caroline. They did not expect Caroline to be the cause of this.

Caroline smiled calmly under everyone’s gazes.. At this moment, a waiter who was dragging a tray tripped on the red carpet, and the tray in his hand flew toward Joline!
