“You should know the consequences of every choice you make. When you decided to push Caroline away, Mr. Balor, you should know that anything related to Caroline, whether good or bad, will have nothing to do with you.”
Joline made it clear that even if the Anderson family married Caroline as the mistress of the family, Balor’s family would not receive any additional benefits. This was already destined from the moment he gave up on Caroline.
“Mr. Balor, as a businessman, you should be very clear. No matter what the rate of return is for every investment, you have to first invest in it and also experience risks. It’s possible to gain something for free, but you have to have the ability.”
Joline’s naked and straightforward words made Balor’s face turn red.
At this point, there was no need to continue. However, Balor was still unwilling to give up. “I don’t understand why the Anderson family will value Caroline so much. Caroline is clearly a useless, eccentric, and vicious woman.”
“I’m shocked. There’s actually a father who can say this?” When Joline heard this, she felt that it was ridiculous. “I want to ask you, Mr. Balor, How long have you not cared about this daughter? Perhaps in your eyes, she’s already an enemy.”
“In my eyes, Caroline is a very outstanding girl. I’m very grateful to you, Mr. Balor, for giving such a good girl to our Anderson family.” Joline stood up. “No matter what reason you have for pushing Caroline out of the house, since she has come to the Anderson family, she will be a part of the Anderson family in the future. So, I hope that you will think of your status before you do anything in the future.”
This was Joline’s last warning to him. If he wanted to cause trouble in the future, the Anderson family would not be soft-hearted.
When Balor heard this, his face paled even more.
This was a warning from Old Madam Anderson. If he didn’t know what was good for him, the Anderson family had a hundred ways to make him lose everything.
“I’m sorry, I have to continue preparing for the engagement party, so I’ll be taking my leave.” Joline nodded and ordered the maid to send Balor out as she left the guest room.
Harriman walked up to her. “The rehearsal is over. Young Master brought Miss
Caroline to the horse track at the back to relax.”
Joline thought for a moment. “Then there shouldn’t be anything urgent to deal with. ”
Harriman flipped through the engagement agenda. “Yes, most of the things have been prepared. The rest is just to check and fill in the gaps.”
Joline heaved a sigh of relief. “Looks like I can have a beauty sleep tonight and attend Edwin’s engagement party in my best condition tomorrow.” But to her surprise, Harriman replied, “I’m afraid that your wish will be dashed, Old Madam.”
Joline’s eyes widened. “Who’s trying to stir up trouble again?
Harriman lowered his head slightly. “It’s Young Master Robert. He said that he has something important to discuss with you.”
Joline turned to the window and looked out at the horse track not far away. Two horses were galloping on the grass. Her voice was cold. “Did he do anything unusual these two days?”
Harriman recalled the report from his subordinates. “Although Young Master Robert likes to be lazy, the task that was handed to him over the past two days has been completed well. There doesn’t seem to be anything unusual. The only thing that I’m concerned about is that he once went to the sunroom on the top floor and stayed there for about ten minutes. Daniel in the greenhouse happened to bump into him and said that he lingered around the new railing for a while. He seemed to be interested in the new railing and even bent down to check it. ”
That day, in order to create an accident, the maid purposely loosened the railing and led Caroline to that place. She tried to push Caroline down the stairs, but she was killed by Caroline. She almost fell down the railing herself.
After that, Harriman brought his men to replace the railing with a new one. They also checked and strengthened all the other railings to eliminate all hidden dangers.
It was reasonable to say that only those who had been there that day and had seen it with their own eyes would know what had happened. But why would Robert go out of his way to study the new railing?
Unless he knew what had happened here.
Even though she didn’t want to admit it, she knew that Robert was definitely involved in what happened that day..
