The gift was a precious Myanmar ruby necklace. What made Caroline lose her composure was not that the necklace was expensive, but that the necklace was inherited from her mother, Mrs. Pritz, from her grandmother.
Caroline knew that after her family was wiped out, the assets that the Pritz family’s ancestors had managed for many generations would definitely be devoured. But she didn’t expect to see this necklace again in this situation. Those people had actually thrown out such an expensive necklace just to test her.
Caroline’s hand that was holding the box started to turn green. Edwin noticed her abnormality and went forward to take a look at the contents of the box. Although he didn’t know the origin of this ruby, he could guess that this necklace had something to do with Caroline from her reaction.
Thinking about the tragedy of the Pritz family in the investigation report, Edwin’s expression darkened. He put his arm around Caroline’s shoulder and said, “If you don’t want to see it, I can help you get rid of it.”
Caroline closed her eyes tightly. When she opened them again, all her emotions were hidden. She curled her lips and said, “No, why should I? I should be happy since this guest is giving me such an expensive gift to celebrate my engagement. It’s a pity that the other party didn’t leave their name, so I don’t know which guest is so generous that I can’t even return the favor.”
Caroline emphasized the word ‘return’.

Her hand gently stroked the gem necklace, and a trace of nostalgia flashed in her eyes. Then, she closed the box with a ‘click.’
These were originally her things. Since the other party took the initiative to return them to her, why wouldn’t she accept them?
Caroline smiled. “We received a lot of good gifts for this engagement party. I saw that many netizens are very concerned about our engagement party. Why don’t we make a video of us opening the boxes later?”
Of course, Caroline’s words were slightly modified.
When Caroline was a pitiful little girl who was bullied by others, most of the netizens sympathized with her. However, when her engagement with Edwin was spread, some people began to change their minds.
Similar thoughts like ‘no matter how pitiful she is, she’s still living a life of luxury. Instead of pitying her, why not pity yourself?’ existed among many people. Some extreme people even thought that Caroline was a scheming b*tch. Everything that happened before was because Caroline wanted to marry into a rich family. She wanted to make the young master of the Anderson family notice her and feel bad for her.
Therefore, there were many people who were making sarcastic remarks about her engagement party. if it was any other time, Caroline would not care about these things. But now, she wanted to make use of this opportunity.
At this moment, George came to the dining room. After knowing Caroline’s plan, he said reluctantly, “You’re short-sighted. What’s there to post on the internet about this little thing? Since you’re going to show them up, then show them up properly. Don’t bring shame to our family’s name,” he said after giving up.
Although Joline and Edwin wouldn’t tell him in detail about many things that happened at home, George wasn’t so stupid that he didn’t know anything.
He had unintentionally heard the servants mention the things that were going against Caroline on the internet and how she was being harassed and attacked one after another.
This undoubtedly angered George. As the young master of the Anderson family, he also had the pride and power of the Anderson family. Whether Caroline was a good person or a bad person, and whether Big Brother wanted to marry Caroline as his wife, were all internal matters of the Anderson family. Since when was it an outsider’s turn to tell them what to do?
Although George still felt conflicted about Caroline, it wasn’t as strong as it was in the beginning. After a few interactions with Caroline, he had realized that Caroline was not the person in the rumors. Instead, Kelly, who had been maintaining her image as the victim, was more suspicious.
He had read the comments online for the past few days and felt that these people were worrying for nothing. He also wanted to give them a look, so he excitedly said that he wanted to pick a good place to appear on camera. Eva, who was standing beside them, thought that they were playing a game, so she ran over with them..
