Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Edwin’s life was in danger, and this was a pain in Joline’s heart. It was also her Achilles’ heel. Robert knew about this, but he still humiliated Edwin in front of his fiancée. It was obvious that he was even more vicious in private.
Robert looked up and met Joline’s cold eyes. He shivered. “I was just too angry with her and said those things without thinking. That’s why I said those things. I don’t mean to look down on Edwin. You know that I care about him the most.”
Caroline slowly added, “But you clearly said that he is an emotionless, cold-blooded robot.”
Joline’s face turned even colder after Caroline said that. She stood up and looked down at Robert who was lying on the ground. “Robert, who gave you the courage to think that you can treat the Anderson family like this?”
Joline’s words clearly showed that she was cutting ties with the Smith family.
Robert was flustered. He knew that he had done something bad today.
However, Caroline just had to add fuel to the fire. “It’s probably because he thinks that he’s a member of the Anderson family. He’s using his age as an excuse to order us around.’
Joline sneered. “Ha, you don’t deserve it!”
The cold voice and words completely broke the string of rationality in Robert’s mind. Everything that happened to him today was all because of this evil woman, Caroline. So, he had to kill this woman!
In his rage, Robert had already forgotten that he couldn’t feel his legs and couldn’t move. He got up from the ground and pounced at Caroline, who was not far away. His hands were clearly going to strangle Caroline’s neck.
The reception room was filled with exclamations. Edwin’s first reaction was to stop him, but no one was as fast as Caroline.
Seeing that Edwin and Robert were about to collide, Caroline immediately sent a flying kick at him, knocking him to the ground. Before he could react, the sharp eyebrow cutter was already on his neck.
Robert moved a little, and a sharp pain immediately came from his neck. Panic flashed in his eyes, and he stopped moving. He could only watch as the drop of blood dripped on his bulging belly.
“I knew you could move your legs, ” said Caroline nonchalantly. “You’re indeed extorting me.”
However, Robert was not happy at all. He said in fear, “You… You can’t do this to me, I’m Joline’s nephew.”
“You’re right, I won’t do anything to you.” She lifted her foot and threw the man forward, throwing him between Edwin and Joline. “After all, I don’t want to dirty my hands.”
After saying this, she threw the blood-stained eyebrow cutter into the trash can.
However, at this moment, Robert couldn’t care less about Caroline’s insults. After being frightened by Caroline, Robert’s rationality came back. Then, he realized what he had done in his rashness.
There was only one thought in Robert’s mind. He was completely done for. Even his father might not be able to save him.
As expected, the next second, he heard Joline’s cold voice. “See if Joseph is here. If he is, bring him over.”
At this moment, Joseph had just arrived at the entrance of the Anderson
Manor. From his expression, it was obvious that he was not in a good mood. The reason was that he had called Robert on his way here to get more accurate information from him.
To his surprise, Robert didn’t pick up the call. He called a few more times, but no one picked up.
Joseph had a premonition that Robert was being held back by something. He could only pray that Robert wouldn’t do something irreversible because of a moment of rashness.
But when he stepped into the manor, he saw Harriman waiting there, and he suddenly had a bad feeling. This was especially so because every time they met in the past, this little old man had always been smiling at him. There had never been a time when he had such a cold expression.
The uneasiness in Joseph’s heart grew stronger and stronger. He had no choice but to ask Harriman indirectly, “Did that brat Robert make a big mistake?”
Harriman maintained a respectful attitude as he led the way. “Mr. Joseph, you’ll
Imow when you go in..”
