Caroline was shocked. “I thought that by standing up for me, you acknowledged me?”
George broke free from her embrace and jumped far away. He looked at her with disdain and said, “I just didn’t like Kelly’s way of doing things and the fact that she lied to me, so I wanted to punish her. Helping you get your things back was just a convenient way.”
Caroline looked at his reddened ears with interest. She did not expose his embarrassment. She just sighed sadly. “I was very happy at first and thought that I finally got your recognition. It turns out that I was happy for nothing.”
Seeing that she was frowning and seemed to be really troubled, George could not help but frown. He then snorted coldly. “Even if you’ve cleared your name, it’s still too early for you to enter our Anderson family and get my acknowledgment.”
“But my engagement with your brother is next week.” It meant that no matter whether he admitted it or not, he couldn’t change this fact.
These words directly pierced George’s heart. He had always disliked the fact that his grandmother and big brother treated him like a child. They usually said everything for his own good and let him do whatever he wanted. In the end, when it was time for an important vote, they would not consider his views and opinions at all. They treated him as a child who only knew how to eat, drink, and play.
Hence, when he heard Caroline’s words, George immediately jumped up. “So what! Even if you use black magic to bewitch Big Brother and Grandmother, making them agree to be engaged to you, you will never be able to bewitch me!”
Caroline was puzzled. “What black magic?”
George glanced at her with a look that said, “You don’t have to pretend, I’ve seen through you. I don’t care which demon you made a deal with to get this ability, but I, George Anderson, will never yield. I’ll always keep an eye on you and find your flaws and secrets. Then I’ll find the most powerful mage to expel you!”
Caroline really had a secret. She looked at this young man with a complicated expression. Although he had guessed a little right, he was a little off in the wrong direction.
“A deal with the devil?” Caroline mulled over these few words.
If there was really such a deal, she would not have watched helplessly as her family and subordinates were annihilated, as she herself was betrayed and captured, and she was in despair as she was charged with treason. If a demon appeared by her side, she would probably have handed over her soul without hesitation, just so that those hateful enemies would pay with their blood and fall into the abyss of h*ll forever.
Thinking about this, Caroline laughed. She felt that she was still lucky. Even without the demon’s deal, she had a chance to start over.
After George ‘exposed’ her identity as a black witch, he had been paying attention to her reaction. Thus, he saw Caroline’s shocked and dazed expression. George was very confused. After her identity was exposed, shouldn’t she be shocked and guilty?
But why didn’t Caroline have any of the reactions that he expected? Instead, she had these emotions that he couldn’t understand or read?
Could he have guessed wrong?
George did not understand. When he saw Caroline smile, he suddenly jumped up like a rabbit whose tail had been stepped on. He pointed at Caroline and said, “What are you smiling about? Are you making fun of me?”
Caroline immediately stopped smiling. “Why would you think of me that way? Why would I laugh at you for no reason?”
If it wasn’t for the obvious smile on her face, her words would have been much more convincing.
“I knew it. All of you think that I’m not smart, so you like to bully me!” It was the same for his grandmother, brother, Kelly, and Caroline!
Seeing his aggrieved expression, Caroline suddenly felt guilty for a second. “How about I apologize to you?”
Perhaps the Anderson family thought they were protecting him, but in George’s eyes, they did not trust him.
“I don’t need it!” It wasn’t a sincere apology, so George didn’t care.
“Alright, in that case, I won’t say anything more.” Caroline shrugged.
Seeing that she had really let it go, George was shocked. “Don’t you have anything to say?”
He had helped her get back her inheritance and even showed that he had been wronged.
Every time he said this, even his big brother would agree to some of his harmless requests. But why was Caroline so cold-blooded? She was indeed a heartless black witch!
“I thought you didn’t want to hear it?” Caroline looked innocent.
“Hmph, don’t say it then!” George ran away angrily.
