Chapter 132: Rehearsal
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Even though Caroline had promised Will Sr. that she would complete the mission, the real problem was that it was difficult for her to get an invitation to an underground auction with her current identity, let alone a few.
So she could only hope that someone would transfer the invitation, or take the invitation to bring her in. Obviously, the most suitable person at the moment was Edwin.
As the heir and core figure of the Anderson family, Caroline thought that he should not be in need of an invitation. “Looks like I’ll have to trouble him.”
At this moment, Caroline didn’t know that to Edwin, he only needed to show his face to enter the underground auction. Hence, he didn’t prepare an invitation for her.
Thus, when Caroline approached him and asked if she could be his female companion to attend the underground auction with the invitation, even the smart Edwin was stunned for half a second.
“I do have an invitation in my hands,” he said, carefully choosing his words. In reality, he had already sent out the invitation letters. However, since Caroline wanted it, he would at most get someone to print a few more copies. “I wonder if I have the chance to invite you to attend this auction with me?”
Seeing that Edwin was so sensible, Caroline nodded her head in satisfaction.
The auction would be held in five days. Before that, there was something more urgent for the two of them, which was the engagement party.
At first, Caroline thought that Joline would take over the trivial matters at the engagement party and they would be there. However, she didn’t expect that the day before the engagement party, she and Edwin would be caught and brought to the Anderson family’s banquet hall.
At this time, the banquet hall was already decorated very magnificently and heartwarming.
“How is it? Are you satisfied with the layout of this place?” Joline was beckoning the servants to arrange the gifts. When she saw the two of them, her eyes lit up. She immediately put down the coffee cup in her hand and walked over to greet them.
Caroline walked around the banquet hall, which was about the size of half a football field, nodded, and praised, “It’s very beautiful.”
As a former student of the fashion design department, Joline’s taste and aesthetics were quite good.
“It’s good that you’re satisfied.” Joline also felt that she was quite capable to be able to decorate the banquet hall like this in just a few days.
“Alright, it’s your turn to rehearse next.” Joline clapped her hands and a group of well-trained servants ran out of the banquet hall. They surrounded the two of them at the door and prepared to replicate the scene of the two of them entering the banquet tomorrow.
Harriman came over with the schedule and put on a smile similar to Joline’s.
“Tomorrow at 5:45 pm, Young Master Edwin and Young Madam will meet here.
Then, you will enter the banquet hall together.”
Caroline looked at Edwin helplessly. “Do you think this needs a rehearsal?” In Caroline’s mind, engagement and marriage should be happy and free, so she just had to be happy.
Now that it had become an early rehearsal, after everyone followed the flow one by one, what was there to be happy about when the actual engagement ceremony began? What was there to be happy about?
In the end, it was as if the engagement party was held for others to see and not for themselves to celebrate.
Edwin glanced at Joline, who seemed to have become ten years younger after getting busy. He said in a calm and kind tone, “We are the main characters of the engagement party, but it’s also for show. That’s why we invited guests to attend this tradition. This is to announce to everyone that we are together and that we are going to take our relationship seriously, so I hope to receive everyone’s blessings.”
Caroline was just grumbling, but she didn’t expect to receive such a serious and serious answer from Edwin. She was stunned for a moment, then she softened her voice. “Alright, I was too abrupt.”
The two of them followed the butler’s schedule and completed the engagement ceremony step by step. Joline looked at the talented man and the beautiful woman who matched each other well and her eyes were filled with satisfaction and pride. As expected of the heir chosen by the Anderson family and the wife he had personally chosen. Not to mention other abilities, just their outstanding appearance alone was already better than many people.
At this moment, Harriman’s phone suddenly rang. A notification from the gatekeeper said that there was a man named Balor Lambert who claimed to be Miss Caroline’s father. He wanted to meet the Old Madam in person and said that he had something to discuss with her..
