Chapter 9: Identity
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Mr. Anderson?” Baro looked at the person who had suddenly appeared in shock, and the high pitch that he blurted out almost split.
The man, who was as handsome as a deity, raised his hand and leaned against the door. His well-tailored suit was a little wrinkled, but it didn’t seem impolite. Instead, it gave him a little more casualness and made him look even more charming.
Even Aubrey and Kelly, who did not know him, could guess the man’s identity from Balor’s respect and his surname.
Edwin Anderson, the current leader of the famous Anderson family, was feared by both the political and business worlds.
If the Lambert family was considered to be one of the middle-tier families in high society, then the Anderson family was a family that stood above all other families, at the very top. This was a family that everyone wanted to get close to, but they didn’t dare to make any rude moves because of respect, and Edwin was the person standing at the center of this family.
Why would such a big shot appear in their house?
Not only was Balor confused, even Aubrey and Kelly were confused. Kelly seemed to have thought of something as she looked at the side of Edwin’s finely carved face, her eyes shining.
Only Caroline looked at the familiar figure who had just bid her farewell. She raised her eyebrows and did not say anything.
Edwin’s gaze lingered on Caroline for a moment before moving to Balor’s face. “I heard from my grandmother that she had troubled Mr. Lambert a few days ago. I should have come earlier to thank you, but I had to delay it until today because of something.”
Balor thought for a moment, and then he remembered that he had picked up a brooch at a banquet last week.
When he had seen the brooch, Balor’s first reaction had been that it was very valuable. He had subconsciously wanted to put it in his pocket, but he had considered that it would be too embarrassing if others saw it at the banquet. Thus, he had given the brooch to the host of the banquet.
Later, Balor had heard the host of the banquet mention that the brooch belonged to Old Madam Anderson.
At that time, he was still regretful that he didn’t take the opportunity to show his face in front of Old Madam Anderson. He didn’t expect the Anderson family to be so well-mannered that they would personally come to thank him for such a small matter. Furthermore, the person who came was a core member of the family, Edwin.
Balor, who had been pleasantly surprised, had already forgotten that one should first send a letter to express their respect and etiquette when they visited the upper-class society to express their gratitude.
However, not only was Balor surprised, even Oleg, who was behind Edwin, was a little surprised.
For such a small matter, the Anderson family would definitely come out to thank them, but it would never be so grand, and they would need Edwin to come out. However, he had just been warned by Edwin, so he didn’t dare to show any emotions at this time.
Edwin didn’t seem to care. He had done many things casually anyway, so if he said so, then so be it.
“Oleg, bring the prepared thank you gift over.” The back of the car was always prepared with a few gifts in case of an emergency.
Balor threw the ruler in his hand to the butler and was about to welcome Edwin in.
However, Edwin did not move. “It’s unfortunate that Lambert’s family has some matters to attend to today. I won’t disturb you any longer. If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll thank you properly.”
His appropriate behavior made it seem like he was here to thank him. Caroline could only say that his acting skills were not bad.
Balor really wanted to get close to the Anderson family, but he knew that he would not be able to take advantage of them if he was too impatient. If he was too impatient, he might end up angering them. Although he felt regretful, he still said respectfully, “I didn’t receive you well and let you see this scene. It’s really impolite. Let me see you out.”
“There’s no need to go through so much trouble.” However, at this moment, Edwin, who had been ignoring Caroline all this while, suddenly pointed at her. “Why don’t you let this beautiful lady send me off?”
Balor’s movements froze. Meanwhile, Kelly’s eyes were burning with anger as she looked at Caroline.
She had seen it clearly. Mr. Anderson didn’t even look at her just now, but he actually asked Caroline to send him. Did they know each other?
Kelly denied the thought as soon as it came to her mind. As everyone knew, Mr. Anderson had been recuperating outside because of his weak body and had only returned home a few days ago, so it was impossible for the two to meet each other.
Did he fall for Caroline’s beauty at first sight? Thinking of this possibility, Kelly’s heart exploded like a pot of oil.
