54 The Old Madam Changed Her Mind
At the same time, Kelly continued to study hard and constantly correct her words and actions, just so that she could become a true noble lady, just like Caroline, whom she had first met, so that other people’s eyes would unconsciously fall on her.
Unfortunately, a counterfeit was a counterfeit. No matter how hard Kelly had worked for so many years, she still had not learned to be so calm and confident. What made her even more fearful was that Caroline, who was clearly destroyed by her, seemed to be reborn. Overnight, she regained her former glory and even became more dazzling.
Seeing that everyone’s attention was on Caroline, a flash of viciousness appeared in Kelly’s eyes. She pretended to be afraid and stood up to block Caroline’s path. “Sister, that’s great. I thought you wouldn’t show up today. Dad is so angry that he wants to cut off all ties with you because you sold the shares and the house without discussing it with him. After the announcement was made, he regretted it a little, but he could not lower his head because of his pride. He’s still in the hospital. Can you go and see him and apologize to him?”
Kelly specifically mentioned this to remind these fools who were fooled by Caroline’s appearance that Caroline was not a good person. She was a jinx. Whoever messed with her would bring about endless trouble.
Therefore, those who wanted to have a taste of Caroline’s beauty should first consider whether they had the ability to help her settle her problems.
Kelly’s indirect reminder brought many people back to their senses. Indeed, even though Caroline was a beautiful flower, she had many thorns on her body. Hence, if one wanted to pick a flower, one had to have a strong foundation.
This soft rice looked delicious, but it was not so easy to eat it.
Caroline saw through Kelly’s little scheme immediately, but she did not mind at all. She even wanted to thank her for blocking off so many pestering peach blossoms. However, as for Balor…
Caroline raised her eyebrows. “So, Mr. Balor is in the hospital. No wonder it was so quiet today. I didn’t see him bringing his bodyguards to surround me.”
Caroline suddenly smacked her head in realization. “I was still thinking if it’s because I’ve sold my shares. So, he doesn’t need to come and block me anymore. He doesn’t need to force me to sign and transfer my shares to him anymore.”
When Caroline said this, everyone around gasped. They did not expect Balor to be so ruthless that he would bring his bodyguards and force his own daughter to transfer her shares to him.
So, this was the reason why Caroline was in a hurry to sell her shares after inheriting them? This was also the reason why Balor had been so angry that he had a heart attack and was sent to the hospital? And he was also in a hurry to sever their father-daughter relationship?
In Balor’s eyes, his daughter was probably worthless, so he would naturally kick her away.
Caroline looked at Kelly in confusion. “Are you sure that Mr. Balor really wants to see me now? I think he just wants to strangle me to death. In order to let Mr. Balor live for a few more years, it’s best that I don’t go to his side and make him look bad.”
Caroline patted Kelly’s shoulder. “As his precious daughter, I’ll have to trouble you to take care of him.”
Caroline’s reaction made Kelly extremely disgusted. Just as she was about to say something, Old Lady Campbell suddenly spoke. “Is Caroline here?”
Caroline smiled and walked over. “Yes, Old Madam. Long time no see. How have you been?”
“I’m doing pretty well. I can still eat and sleep despite being so old. Thank you for your concern.” Old Lady Campbell sized Caroline up and nodded to herself. “You’re fine like this. You’re still the same as before. Old Lambert should be able to rest assured in heaven when he sees you like this.��
‘No way!’ Caroline couldn’t help but curse in her heart. If old Mr. Lambert knew about this in the netherworld, he would be even more depressed. The real Caroline had already gone to heaven to meet him.
“Thank you, Old Madam. I also think that I’m quite good like this.”
Old Lady Campbell looked at Caroline, who was so dazzling, and felt even more regretful. She couldn’t help but say, “It’s my disappointing grandson’s fault for having bad eyesight. You’re such a good person, but he doesn’t like you and even wants to break off the engagement with you.”
She patted Caroline’s hand. “I want to ask for your opinion. If you really don’t want to cancel the engagement, I can help you.”
