46 Selling the House
“What are you doing here?” Caroline took the violet bouquet and was a little surprised.
“I’m moving today, so I want to invite my neighbors to warm my room and share dinner with me.” Edwin followed her into the apartment. When he saw the scene inside, he felt a sense of confusion. It seemed like something interesting just happened here.
Caroline’s attention was on his first sentence. “You moved here?”
She peeked out of the window and saw a few cars parked in front of the house opposite. A few people were moving things down.
Caroline furrowed her brows. She placed the violets on the table and turned around to look at Edwin with a puzzled expression.
“Edwin, you don’t need to go this far.” Although she didn’t know why Edwin was so persistent with a stranger he had only met a few times, the things he had done in the past few days showed that he was serious.
Caroline thought that he was worried that she would be targeted by the Taylor family or Balor, so he moved in.
However, the enemies that Caroline had to face were not families or people like the Balor family, the Campbell family, or the Taylor family, who did not have much power. Instead, they were families and people of a higher level, who were extremely powerful and terrifying. She did not want to drag others into this.
“I know.” Edwin stood up from his chair, walked up to her, and looked at her with a serious expression. “I just want to tell you that no matter what you want to do, I will support you and be your strongest shield.”
“No, you don’t understand, Edwin.” Caroline shook her head.
Right now, she was alone. Perhaps she would never be able to complete her revenge plan in her entire life. However, this was something that Caroline, or rather, as Luo Ling Pritz, had to accomplish. Even if she had to pay with her life, she would not hesitate to do so.
“It doesn’t really matter if I understand or not, right? Caroline, promise me. Let me stand behind you as your friend, okay? I won’t stop you, disturb you, or force you.”
Edwin looked at her with hope and pleading in his eyes.
Caroline couldn’t reject Edwin’s request. “You might regret it soon.”
Edwin laughed. “I never fantasize about the future. I only care about the present.”
He picked up the bouquet of violet orchids on the table again and invited her again. “Then, may I ask the beautiful Miss Caroline if I have the honor to invite you to have dinner with me?”
“I’m honored.” Caroline took the flowers.
While the two of them were affectionately discussing the dinner menu, Balor and Kelly, who had come to cause trouble but were beaten away, were first sent to the hospital by bodyguards. They only returned home after being treated by the doctor.
They were thinking about what had happened today and how they were going to survive the upcoming crisis after losing their shares and money.
In the end, before they could even sit down after they got home, a group of people who claimed to be real estate agents suddenly came to their door.
“Hello, the owner of this villa has sold the house to our company, so we are now here to collect the house, check the extent of damage, and put a seal on it.”
“Impossible, I’m the owner of this house.” When Balor heard this, he became anxious. He had already lost 40% of the shares, and he definitely could not be chased out of this house. “I am her father. I did not agree to sell this house, so the agreement signed by Caroline does not count. We are not selling the house. Get out of my house immediately! Otherwise, I’m going to call the police and sue you for trespassing on private property.”
“I’m very sorry, Mr. Lambert. We’ve already done our research when we bought the house. This villa is owned by Miss Caroline Lambert, so she has the right to deal with this house. We made a legal deal, so after buying this house, we also have the right to own it. As the owner of the house, we have the right to ask you to leave. I believe that Mr. Lambert will also not wish for us to use forceful methods to achieve this.”
“Dad, what should we do?” Kelly held onto Balor tightly. She did not want to be chased out of the house. Although she could not wait for Caroline to die, she could not lose the last name of Lambert.
If they were chased out of the Lambert family’s villa, it would be the same as having their surname taken away. How could she raise her head in the future like this?
