Chapter 58 - 58 Promise

58 Promise

Edwin took out the ring with the Anderson family’s emblem from the ring box and held Caroline’s hand. “As the other party of the deal, if I think it’s fair, then it’s fair.”

Caroline wanted to pull her hand back, but Edwin put the ring on her ring finger.

“You…” Caroline was shocked. Since when did he become such a rascal?

No, actually, Edwin had always been very overbearing, but he had deliberately restrained himself in front of her and showed weakness, just like now.

“Don’t reject me, okay?” Edwin’s eyes were filled with pleading as he looked at her.

Caroline subconsciously rubbed the ring with her thumb. Edwin knew that she couldn’t refuse him when she showed such an expression.

Like a cat whose tail was caught, Caroline was a little angry from embarrassment. She gritted her teeth and said, “Remember, this is your choice. Don’t regret it in the future!”

As their voices were very low, no one else heard their argument. They only saw Edwin putting the ring that symbolized the Anderson family’s honor on Caroline’s ring finger.

So, they were serious and not just playing around! The banquet hall was filled with gasps, exclamations, and discussions.

The only difference was that everyone’s faces were filled with shock and other emotions, especially Austin and Kelly.

They were clearly still hugging each other intimately, but at this moment, they had different thoughts. Staring at the two people who were unusually compatible, their eyes burned with fire. However, Austin’s eyes were filled with anger, while Kelly’s eyes were filled with jealousy.

Austin had just declared that no one would like a woman like Caroline. However, Edwin Anderson suddenly appeared in front of everyone and said that he admired Caroline and was pursuing her.

This was equivalent to directly slapping his face. After all, the person who said this was Edwin Anderson, a genius businessman who galloped in the business world with precise vision and was successful in every endeavor.

If this news were to spread, people would not doubt Edwin’s judgment. They would only say that Austin was blind and treated a fish’s eye as a pearl. He gave up the excellent Caroline and chose Kelly.

This made him feel very ashamed and resentful. He then looked at Caroline. Compared to the way she was rude to him before, she was standing beside Edwin and exuded a sense of joy. It was as if Edwin was her light. This difference made Austin extremely unhappy, but he also felt a sense of disappointment.

Meanwhile, Kelly’s eyes were filled with jealousy. She thought that by kicking Caroline out of the Lambert family and making Austin break off the engagement with her, she would be able to trample Caroline under her feet and make her unable to rise up again. In the end, Caroline didn’t seem to be in a sorry state at all. Instead, she got involved with the person in charge of the Anderson family.

Kelly did not understand why God was so unfair to place all the luck on Caroline. Kelly was indignant. Things shouldn’t have turned out this way. She couldn’t let Caroline have her way.

Caroline and Edwin left the banquet hall hand in hand. They didn’t even greet the host of the banquet, but the Campbell family didn’t dare to say anything bad about the Anderson family.

However, the Anderson family had their own set of rules for being able to stand tall for so long. Thus, after Edwin left with Caroline, the poor Oleg could only clean up the mess for him. He gave the Campbell family a birthday gift and informed Old Lady Campbell that he was going to disturb them.

After seeing that Oleg had left, Austin finally relaxed and cursed in a low voice, “Promiscuous woman! Caroline must have gotten close to the Anderson family a long time ago.” That was why she suddenly changed her attitude toward him.

He cursed Caroline in a low voice and seemed to have forgotten that he and Kelly had been together behind Caroline’s back for a long time. They clearly had double standards.

Kelly clenched her fists and squeezed out a sweet smile. “That’s great. Sister has a new home too. I can be with you in peace now.”

Austin was stunned for a moment before he replied with a soft “hmm,” as if he was agreeing with Kelly. However, his deep eyes revealed that his thoughts were not as simple as they seemed. Meanwhile, Kelly was also planning something in her mind, so she did not notice his abnormality.
