Joline’s voice came from a distance. Everyone quickly looked over and saw Joline holding the shawl on her shoulder, elegantly getting out of a Lincoln limousine.
Joline looked around and her gaze landed on Caroline. Her expressionless face softened and she smiled. “My dear, I was just telling Harriman that since we left so late today, I’m afraid you’d have already entered by the time we got here.”
It was Kelly’s first time being so close to Old Madam Anderson. Seeing Joline’s kind smile, she really thought that she was an ordinary old lady, so she interrupted, “Madam, you don’t know this. Even if Caroline really wants to enter the banquet hall early, she doesn’t have an invitation. She can only wait here for you to appear.”
As a freeloader, Kelly knew this very well. Therefore, she planned to use this to attack Caroline and let Old Madam Anderson see Caroline’s true colors so that she wouldn’t be deceived by her.
Joline waved the small folding fan in her hand, covering her mouth and nose. “But Caroline has an invitation?” As she said this, her gaze shifted to Kelly, who could not help but tremble.
Even though Old Madam Anderson did not say or do anything and only glanced at her, Kelly felt as if she was suddenly on the edge of a cliff in the sky. Even a slight breeze could make her breathless.
Kelly held her breath subconsciously, but Joline only glanced at her and did not seem to take her seriously.
Joline stepped forward and held Caroline’s hand. She looked at everyone’s confused eyes and said calmly, “Caroline has her own invitation. Why does she want to leech off someone else’s invitation?”
At this moment, the attendant arranged by Mrs. Hall hurriedly walked out of the residence. “I’m very sorry, Miss Caroline, Mrs. Anderson. Thank you very much for coming. The madam said that she would like to see the two of you before the banquet begins. Please follow me this way.”
The crowd burst into an uproar. This was because the waiter had just addressed Caroline as ‘Miss Caroline’ before ‘Mrs. Anderson’.
The servants in the official residence had all received professional training, so it was impossible for such an unruly thing to happen.
Under such circumstances, there was only one possibility for the waiter to do that. He did it on purpose, and his wish represented the host’s wish. In Mrs. Hall’s heart, Caroline was more important than Joline!
The guests who heard the news were shocked and confused. When did Caroline win Mrs. Hall’s favor?
The crowd who had been watching the fun could not care about this now. They were all thinking about finding someone to ask for information and see what was going on.
As for Kelly, whose face was red with anger and unwillingness, everyone had completely ignored her, consciously or unconsciously.
After all, Caroline’s status was no longer the same as before. Although they loved to watch the fun, it didn’t mean that they would stand on Kelly’s side. Furthermore, Caroline seemed to have gained Mrs. Hall’s favor, so they would not go against her.
Meanwhile, Caroline would not pay attention to such a defeated opponent. Hence, she did not notice Kelly’s sinister gaze when she stared at her back.
At the entrance of the residence, Caroline and Joline each took out their invitation. The attendant received it with both hands and showed it to the guards before leading them in.
“Madam and Miss Julie are in the study. They are looking forward to seeing you two, especially Miss Julie.” The waiter led them around the banquet hall and into a long corridor.
Caroline helped Joline walk with one hand and smiled. “I thought she had already forgotten. ”
“Such a big thing happened, how could she forget it so easily?” The attendant smiled bitterly.
“Did it scare her?” Caroline asked with concern.
“That’s not too bad. Compared to being scared, Miss Julie seems to be more excited. After returning from the teahouse that day, she said that she wanted to learn martial arts and become as powerful as you, Miss Caroline.” The waiter brought the two of them to a room on the second floor and knocked on the door.
Soon, the sound of footsteps came from inside, followed by a creak. The door opened, but there was no one behind it..
