Chapter 44



44 Birthday Party Invitation

Before Kelly left, she contacted the two of them and told them about the situation. She asked them to make this trip. She said that as an elder, she hoped that Mrs. Campbell could persuade the stubborn Caroline.

After hearing Kelly’s words, Mrs. Campbell followed Austin to this place. Looking at the dilapidated block and the old apartment in front of her, she took out her handkerchief that was sprayed with perfume and covered her mouth and nose in disgust.

“When did Caroline fall to this level? I can’t believe I’m working with these poor people who are like bugs.” After losing the Lambert Corporation’s shares, Caroline had lost all her glory in Mrs. Campbell’s eyes. She had become an existence that she despised.

The reason why she came here with her son today was to successfully break off the engagement between Austin and Caroline so that Austin could regain his freedom as soon as possible and find a better partner.

That’s right. In Mrs. Campbell’s eyes, even though she had been communicating with Kelly and had leaked some information to her, the Lambert family had become extremely weak after losing Caroline’s 40% shares. They had completely lost the right to marry into the Campbell family, not to mention Kelly, who was only an adopted daughter of the Lambert family. From the start to the end, she didn’t meet her standards for marriage.

At this moment, Kelly had no idea that everything she was doing was for someone else. She only wanted to get the huge sum of money from Caroline and break off the engagement between Caroline and Austin. Only then could she stand beside Austin with dignity.

This time, she was scared by Caroline and ran out in a panic. She ran into Austin and his mother. It was as if she had seen her savior. She pounced on Austin and hugged him, begging for help. “She wants to kill!”

Austin was shocked to see Kelly crying. “Didn’t you bring your bodyguards?”

With Austin’s understanding of Balor, he did not have the heart of a father to Caroline at all. Thus, Austin did not doubt that Balor would force himself on Caroline in order to get the money from Caroline.

He had originally thought that this trip would be a sure win, and it would be easy for him to take advantage of the situation and break off the engagement. However, from what Kelly said, Balor and the rest did not gain any advantage. Instead, they were being suppressed by Caroline?

Kelly still had lingering fears about Caroline’s methods. “Caroline is a demon. She’s too terrifying. None of the bodyguards is her match.”

Beside them, Mrs. Campbell saw Kelly’s sorry state and cursed in her heart. She was indeed a woman who couldn’t be shown in public. Seeing how she refused to let go of Austin, her displeasure was clearly on her face.

She pulled Austin away and separated the two of them. Before Kelly could react, she asked, “What’s going on? Where’s Caroline?”

Kelly was so frightened by Caroline that she didn’t have the time to think. At the same time, she didn’t notice that Mrs. Campbell’s attitude was different. She just told them everything.

“What!” Austin and his mother exclaimed at the same time.

“You’re saying that she defeated five bodyguards by herself?”

“You said she donated all her money?”

The former was from Austin, while the latter was from Mrs. Campbell. The two of them were shocked at different points, but the degree of shock was the same.

At this moment, Mrs. Campbell agreed with Kelly’s thoughts. Caroline was indeed crazy.

The shares were gone, the money was gone, and even the person seemed to have gone crazy. Then there was no need for the marriage agreement between the Lambert and Campbell families to exist. There was nothing of value left in the entire Lambert family.

At this thought, Mrs. Campbell pulled Austin’s hand and said, “Do you still remember why you are here today?”

Austin pursed his lips and nodded.

From their expressions and conversation, Kelly could tell that they were here to break off the engagement with Caroline.

Thinking of Caroline’s smugness, Kelly suddenly suggested, “Isn’t it Austin’s birthday in a few days? I think it’s more appropriate to announce important news on such a grand occasion.”

If Caroline’s engagement was called off by the Campbell family in front of all the guests, how would she be able to face the public in the future?
