Chapter 33

Toward outsiders, Edwin had always been cold and unkind, so when everyone heard his words, although they were curious, they didn’t ask why.

Three days ago, Edwin had informed the investment banks under his name to estimate the market value of the Lambert Corporation in the shortest time possible. They had thought that Edwin had the intention to annex the Lambert Corporation, and had even had a private discussion internally. Had the Lambert family offended Edwin? Or had someone come forward to ask Edwin to help out with the matter that had been causing an uproar on the internet the other day?

In the end, while they were working overtime, they suddenly received an order from Edwin, telling them not to lower the price. The investment banks were in an uproar. This Edwin, who was known in the industry as the living King of H*ll, actually didn’t want to squeeze the other party dry? Instead, he kindly told them not to lower the price. What a wonder.

When the final evaluation results came out, they only guessed some clues from the name of Party B on the contract when Edwin asked them to draft the purchase of the shares. They were afraid that Edwin had other intentions.

However, this matter made them even more surprised. The cold and unfeeling Edward had actually made an exception for a woman. A strong sense of gossip welled up in them, and they were curious about who exactly this Caroline Lambert was.

But in front of Edwin, they still maintained their usual elite appearance, hiding their gossipy souls under their suits, but their eyes that occasionally darted around revealed their mood to gossip.

Thus, Caroline, who was the first to set off and arrive, received a row of attention when she was led in by the waiter.

Bright and beautiful. That was everyone’s first impression of Caroline. Even though she was only wearing a simple green dress, she still made people’s eyes linger on her body, unwilling to look away easily. Looking at her movements, there was a bit of unconscious casualness in her grace.

She was completely different from the image in the rumors. Anyone who saw Caroline in person would not believe that the ugly person in the rumors actually looked like this.

Ever since Caroline appeared, the hint of green on her body seemed to be a sign of the arrival of spring. It melted the ice on Edwin’s body, and the coldness on his body instantly disappeared. Even though it was still far from being a spring breeze, Edwin who was standing beside Caroline did indeed look a lot friendlier.

However, no one was naïve enough to think that Edwin had really become gentle. After all, they all cherished their lives, and they didn’t want to offend this ancestor and end up in a state where they couldn’t even find their corpses.

“We’re in such a hurry. Sorry to trouble you.” Led by Edwin, Caroline took the initiative to shake hands with the person in charge of the team.

“We’re just doing what we’re supposed to,” the person in charge said sincerely.

Although Edwin was a dictator and a tough man, he was indeed a generous boss. Therefore, although it was hard to work overtime, a sufficient reward could still comfort their tired hearts and bodies.

Due to the urgency of the situation, the two sides no longer exchanged pleasantries and went straight to the point.

The person-in-charge passed the contract to Caroline. “Take a look and see if there are any other problems.”

In front of the club, before the car’s engine had stopped, Balor had already jumped out of the car. He grabbed the bodyguard and asked, “Where did that woman go?”

Even though Balor grabbed the bodyguard’s collar, he still said respectfully, “Sir, we saw the Young Miss enter the club with our own eyes.”

“Then why don’t you guys follow her in? If she runs away again, I’ll hold you guys responsible.” Balor was obviously crazy with anxiety. He had forgotten that this club was a membership system, and the bodyguards could not enter at all.

Fortunately, Kelly stopped him in time. “Dad, Sister probably doesn’t have a membership card here. I’m afraid there’s something important that she came here for.”

Only then did Balor come back to his senses. That was right. This Muse Club was a top-tier club, and ordinary people couldn’t get in. However, Caroline had come here and could even get in. This proved that someone had invited her here.

No matter who had invited her here, it would not be a good thing in Balor’s eyes. She either planned to get rid of the shares in her hands, or she wanted to climb up the social ladder and find a backer to protect the shares in her hands.

“Let’s go and stop her!” Balor took out the hereditary membership card he had inherited from old Mr. Lambert and led the way into the club.
