Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Seeing that both of her daughters were safe and sound, Mrs. Ford was overjoyed. Before she could say anything, Mrs. Hall, who was beside her, said in a panic, “Where’s Julie? Where did my Julie go?”
She searched the area and her eyes finally fell on the tea forest that the tall man had scanned. “Who’s hiding in there? With such high-intensity bullets, if you are hit, you will probably die.” What she didn’t dare to say was, could the person hiding inside be her Julie?
The Anderson family’s bodyguards were well-trained. They split into two groups, with one group standing guard beside the teahouse, while the other group had already sneaked into the teahouse.
Joline couldn’t find Caroline and her heart was in her mouth. She asked the bodyguard beside her, “Is it possible to kill him from this distance?”
The bodyguard shook his head. “It’s too far. Unless it’s a sniper.”
The Anderson family had trained snipers, but they had only come out to attend a tea party today. They had not expected to encounter such a big event, so they had not thought of bringing a sniper along.
Joline’s eyes darkened. Just as she was about to ask the bodyguards to send people to search for Caroline, a gunshot was heard. They all looked toward the lakeside and saw the tall man who was acting arrogantly just now suddenly fall to the ground.
The madams did not react. What was going on? Two more gunshots were heard. Then, they saw Caroline in a yellow dress walking out of the tea forest with a gun in her hand.
They were quite far away from each other, but the madams could still see it clearly. Although Caroline’s dress was dirty and wrinkled, and her hair, which she had previously taken care of, was also messy, it didn’t affect the strong aura that she exuded.
So, the person who was confronting the bad guys and exchanging fire with them was Caroline? She looked so slender and weak, following Joline like a puppet.
Mrs. Ford’s throat was a little dry. She swallowed and looked at Joline. “Did you know that your future daughter-in-law is such a powerful person? ” Or rather, it could no longer be described as powerful, but to the extent of being valiant.
Joline knew that Caroline was very capable. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to subdue the female assassin who tried to kill her with her bare hands when she was attacked in the Anderson family’s manor.
However, hearing about it and seeing it with one’s own eyes were obviously different. When she saw Caroline’s majestic scene, she was extremely excited. Look! Caroline was so handsome!
But in front of outsiders, Joline restrained her excitement and said as calmly as she could, “I’ve said it before. Caroline is naturally very capable and outstanding. Otherwise, why would Edwin choose to pursue her?” As soon as she said this, she restrained her excitement, but she could not hide her pride.
Mrs. Hall was still thinking about her daughter, so she wasn’t in the mood to admire Caroline’s heroic posture. That was, until Caroline brought Julie out from the tea leaves.
That’s right, she was indeed holding onto Julie’s back collar like she was carrying a piece of pork.
But seeing that her daughter was still alive and kicking, Mrs. Hall’s heart was only filled with excitement and gratitude, and she completely ignored her slightly rude approach.
Everyone walked into the valley. Mrs. Hall didn’t have time to check on her daughter’s bruises. She immediately ran over and held Caroline’s hand. “Thank you so much. Thank you for saving our Julie.”
“I’m just saving myself.” Caroline pulled her hand away uncomfortably, but she realized that Mrs. Hall was holding her hand too tightly. If she didn’t use force, she couldn’t pull her hand away. But if she used her strength, Mrs. Hall would probably stagger.
Thinking of that scene, Caroline was afraid that Mrs. Hall would be angry, so she could only suppress her feelings. She let her cry as she held her hand and said, “I’m sorry. When we first met, I was still prejudiced against you. It’s obviously my fault.”
“I don’t think most people would say this.” Caroline could only reply like this.
Mrs. Hall was obviously amused by her words. “Maybe some people can do this in peace, but I can’t.”
Although Mrs. Hall smiled, her lips trembled slightly and she held her hand tightly. It was obvious that she was frightened by what happened just now. So, she subconsciously approached Caroline, who was very strong, and tried to find a sense of security from her..
