64 Bluffing
“What’s all the noise about?” Seeing George’s impetuous personality, Joline felt a headache.
“Grandma, you have to stop Big Brother from marrying that woman. That woman is a black witch. If we recruit her into our family, our family will be in trouble.”
Joline was speechless. “Where did you hear this nonsense from? Did you read a novel or watch a movie?”
George saw that his grandmother didn’t believe him and explained anxiously, “I heard this from my friend. A man as outstanding as Big Brother would never fall for a woman with a weird personality and a despicable character like Caroline. So, Caroline must have used black magic to create a black magic potion that can bewitch people and fed it to Big Brother. That’s why Big Brother is infatuated with her.”
Joline frowned. Someone actually dared to talk nonsense in front of George. She thought of the rumors on the internet and what happened at the tea party. She sneered in her heart. It seemed like the Anderson family’s decision to choose Caroline as the future mistress was an eyesore to some people, which was why they jumped out to stop it.
But it was useless to tell this to George, so Joline could only coax him. “If you’re so worried about your brother, why don’t I send you to test Caroline? If Caroline is really a black witch, then we’ll cancel the engagement. If she isn’t, then you have to apologize to her and acknowledge her as your sister-in-law.”

George was in disbelief. “Grandma, she’s a black witch. Aren’t you afraid that she’ll hurt me by sending me to her?”
“Caroline won’t hurt you,” Joline promised him.
However, George did not believe her. Joline could only continue to fool him. “Even if Caroline is a witch, you think her purpose is to marry your brother, right?”
George nodded.
“So, she should be trying to please you at this time, right?”
George thought for a moment and continued to nod.
“So, there’s no danger for you to go to her, right?”
George thought about it again. There was no danger, but he thought, “What if she gives me the black magic potion and makes me fall for her like Big Brother? What should I do?”
When George thought of this possibility, he suddenly felt that it was too terrifying.
Joline patted him on the shoulder. “If she puts the black magic potion in you, I’ll definitely notice it. After all, you hate her so much, right?” she said.
George nodded and said, “Yes, I really hate her.”
“So, if I sense that your attitude toward Caroline has changed, I will immediately find the most powerful mage to help you expel the black witch. This way, not only you, but also your brother will be safe. Isn’t this killing two birds with one stone?”
“Grandma, don’t worry. I’ll definitely find out more about that woman,” George promised Joline. After he finished speaking, he left happily.
Joline heaved a sigh of relief. “Thank God,” she said to Harriman. “The Anderson family still has Edwin.”
If George was the only child, Joline thought that she could make a will in advance and give up on the Anderson family.
Harriman also smiled. “Young Master George has a pure heart, so he’s always been simple-minded. With the Old Madam and the Young Master protecting him, he’s able to maintain this naivety.”
The Old Madam shook her head. “This is not called na?ve and romantic. This is called silly.” After saying that, she couldn’t help but laugh.
It was a blessing to live like George in a big family like theirs, which was why Joline and Edwin had never corrected him.
There was a workshop on the top floor of the Anderson family’s house, filled with all kinds of tools of various sizes. At this time, Edwin was holding a pair of platinum rings and carefully polishing them.
“I’m sorry, Sir. I have something urgent to report.” Oleg knocked on the door of the workshop.
After a long time, a voice came from the workshop. “Come in.”
“Sir, all the negative news about Miss Caroline on the internet has been cleared. It must be the Old Madam.”
Edwin chuckled. He was afraid that the Old Madam was angry at him for being slow, so she made a move. However, he said, “I’m afraid the Old Madam’s good intentions will turn into bad things.”
When it came to public opinion, the more you suppressed it, the more it would rebound.
“So, what should we do next?” Oleg was not surprised that Edwin was able to guess the direction of the situation.
