70 Ordering Around Casually
After hearing George’s words, Caroline looked interested. “I thought you wouldn’t agree to your brother’s engagement with me. Why does it sound like you’re worried about us?”
George immediately retorted, “I didn’t agree!” He pointed at Caroline. “I will never agree to a vicious woman like you marrying into our Anderson family.”
He looked around the living room of the apartment and said in disdain, “Even so, since my big brother has proposed to you, you still represent my big brother’s face before he proposes to cancel the engagement. Every day you stay in this place is a day of damage to my big brother’s face!”
When she knew that the Anderson family had come, Danika had solemnly gone to the kitchen to make good tea and snacks for the guests. However, as soon as she entered the reception room, she heard George’s nonsense, and her face immediately fell. She walked in gloomily, smashed the tea bowl and snacks on the table, and said stiffly, “I’d like to invite this noble and ignorant Young Master Anderson who doesn’t know the suffering of the world to have tea!”
“Hmph, if you don’t want to marry the young lady of the Lambert family, I don’t want to marry the young lady into your family either!” Danika raised her head arrogantly and glanced at George with disdain, then walked out of the guest room with her head held high.
“She, she, she! I… I…!” George had never been treated like this before. He was so angry that he could not even speak properly. “This is the first time I’ve seen such a rude servant. Like master, like servant! You are all equally rude.”
Danika poked her head in and shouted, “I’ve been a servant for thirty years, and I’ve never seen such an impolite guest. Is this the gentlemanly etiquette of the Anderson family?”
Seeing that George was about to spout nonsense, Caroline pushed Danika out with a smile. “Alright, alright. He’s just a child. Why are you being so calculative with him?”
“His words are really unpleasant to hear.” It was rare for Danika to be so emotional when she targeted someone. “We should teach him a lesson and make him look down on us, the Lambert family’s girls.”
Caroline shook her head helplessly. She was afraid that among the people who were still alive, the one who valued Lambert’s honor the most was Danika, an outsider who had no blood relations with her. It was rather ironic.
“I’m not a kid! I’m almost 15!” George shouted.
“A fifteen-year-old who hasn’t learned the etiquette of a guest, what’s the difference between him and a three-year-old?” Danika was pushed out by Caroline, but she couldn’t help but turn around and refute.
Finally separating the two childish people, Caroline let out a sigh and said, “Tell me, why did you come here today?”
George was still angry at Danika’s words. “How can you keep such an arrogant maid by your side? If word of this gets out, it’ll be a great embarrassment to the Anderson family!”
Caroline held her head and reminded him, “She’s the Lambert family’s maid. Even if she’s going to be embarrassed, she can’t embarrass the Anderson family.”
George retorted subconsciously, “She’s your woman. If she embarrasses you, she’ll ruin your reputation. And if she embarrasses your reputation, she’ll be embarrassing my big brother’s reputation and the Anderson’s reputation.” He was suddenly stumped, and his expression kept changing.
Caroline looked at his awkward expression and laughed. “Alright, since you keep mentioning your brother, then help me with something.”
George refused. “Why should I do it for you? Who do you think you are? What right do you have to order me around?”

Caroline shrugged. “I was thinking that since you’re here, you could help me move my things. But you’re not willing, so I can only call your brother.”
Seeing that Caroline really took out her phone to call his brother, George quickly snatched it from her. “Are you crazy? My big brother’s hands are used to sign all kinds of contracts. How dare you let him carry these things for you?”
“But your big brother told me that if I need any help, I must ask him for it,” Caroline said with her head tilted.
George choked. If it was before, he would never believe that such words would come out of his brother’s mouth. However, after seeing how attentive he was to Caroline, he felt that his brother really could say it. Also, if Caroline called for him, he would probably really come over to move her things.
However, George didn’t want to see his big brother being subservient to this woman and doing things that would be beneath his status. So after thinking about it, George gritted his teeth and said with a long face, “This Young Master will do a good deed today and help you move it!”
