Translator: Dragon Boat Translation?????????? Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
When Caroline arrived at the official residence, there was still about half an hour before the banquet officially started. At this moment, there were many beautiful luxury cars parked at the entrance, and noble ladies in all kinds of beautiful clothes were led into the banquet hall by the waiter.
Joline had just sent a message saying that she would be a few minutes late. Caroline checked and tidied up her clothes in the car. After making sure that there were no problems, she got out of the car and was ready to wait for Joline to go in together.
“What are you doing here?” Caroline got down from the car. Just as her high heels landed on the ground, a sharp voice came from the side.
She turned around and realized that it was the ‘good sister’ Kelly whom she had not seen for a while. Caroline raised her eyebrows slightly. “If you can come, why can’t I?”
After Kelly cried out involuntarily, she quickly reacted and bit the tip of her tongue. She regretted that she had lost her cool.
The current Caroline was no longer the pitiful little girl from the past. She was now the glorious future lady of the Anderson family, so she was naturally invited to this dinner party.
Kelly knew about this, but because no one in the Lambert family had received an invitation, she naturally couldn’t attend the engagement party to take a look. Therefore, she didn’t have a very vivid impression of Caroline’s successful marriage.
However, tonight, after a simple face-off, Kelly could feel the difference.
Her gaze landed on Caroline’s pearl-black dress for a few seconds under the streetlight. All sorts of complicated emotions flashed through her eyes. In the end, she pouted and said unwillingly, “Why are you here alone? Could it be that
Old Madam Anderson hasn’t accepted you?”
For various reasons, there were many people waiting in front of the residence. Kelly’s scream was not soft, so it attracted their attention.
Everyone looked over and noticed that Caroline, one of the most famous people recently, had arrived in a low-profile manner.
As Kelly asked, they looked behind Caroline and did not see Joline. They started discussing with the people around them in low voices.
“This is the Anderson family’s future madam’s first public appearance, right? The Anderson family’s Old Madam actually didn’t help her? Could it be that the rumors are true, that Old Madam Anderson is not satisfied with Caroline, who doesn’t even have a good family background?”
“That’s possible. Besides, it’s Mrs. Hall’s banquet tonight. If Old Madam

Anderson doesn’t even want to show her face, I’m afraid there are too many disappointments hidden in it.”
Although these people were secretly discussing, their voices were not soft. Hence, Caroline and Kelly, who were at the center of the public opinion, naturally heard it.
Kelly was excited after hearing that.
According to Balor’s status, the current Lambert family should not have had the chance to receive an invitation to the charity banquet.
The reason why Kelly was here was naturally because of the training she had received at Austin’s and Campbell’s families. Back then, Mrs. Campbell didn’t like Caroline at all and wanted her son, Austin, to climb up a higher branch.
In the end, after successfully breaking off the engagement with Caroline, Mrs.
Campbell didn’t even have the time to peek before she realized that her son had offended Kelly, who was even more capable.
Currently, there were rumors that Austin had broken off the engagement with Caroline because he valued his sister, Kelly.
Therefore, although Mrs. Campbell wished that Kelly would disappear from Austin’s sight immediately, with such a rumor in the first place, Kelly probably had the relevant evidence of the two of them colluding to break off the engagement. She would not be able to do anything to Kelly in the short term.
Mrs. Campbell even suspected that Kelly had done something to cause the news to spread so quickly.
However, suspicion was just suspicion. Before there was clear evidence, she could not stop Austin and Kelly from being together.
Kelly judged others by her own standards. She felt that even if Caroline had climbed up the social ladder, with their similar backgrounds, Caroline should be the same as her, an existence that would be despised by others.
“Such a messy and illogical conjecture, and there are actually people who believe it?” Joline’s voice sounded..
