However, Balor’s mentality was completely retracted when he faced Joline, the Anderson family’s Old Madam.
No matter if it was as a woman or as the former Madam of the Anderson family, Joline’s abilities were undoubtedly very powerful.
In her eyes, the underhanded tricks that Balor had used were like an insensible and impatient boy. She did not care about him at all. Joline was not even willing to call him ‘Mr. Lambert’ and only called him Mr. Balor.
“I wonder what is the reason for your sudden visit today, Mr. Balor?” Joline was well-mannered and didn’t want to waste any more time with her, so she asked directly.
Balor did not expect her to be so direct. The confidence he had before entering the door had disappeared, and he could not open his mouth for a moment. He could only force himself to say, “Caroline is my biological daughter. She’s about to get engaged, so I came to see how things are going. I think she might need my help at the engagement party.”
That’s right. What made Balor feel extremely awkward was that, as Caroline’s father, not only was he not invited as a guest of honor to this engagement banquet organized by the Anderson family, but the Lambert family did not even receive an invitation.
Originally, he had tried every possible way to stop the engagement between the two of them. However, even after he had spent so much effort in private, it did not affect the progress of the engagement in the slightest.
The engagement party was tomorrow, and nothing could stop them from getting engaged.
Since the matter had already been decided and he couldn’t stop it, he could only accept it with hatred. However, Balor was still unwilling to give up. He had been thinking about it for so many years just to take everything in the Lambert family for himself and develop the Lambert Corporation to a new height.
However, because of Caroline’s interference, he lost more than half of the company’s shares. Now, he was only barely holding on. As a symbol of status, the Lambert Residence was also put up for sale by Caroline. In order to maintain his honor and dignity, he had no choice but to buy the house back out of his own pocket.
He had worked hard for almost 30 years, but this was the result. Balor was very unwilling. Since Caroline, this daughter, had the ability to get into the Anderson family, a great future and countless money were right there, waiting for him to get them. How could Balor not be moved?
Thus, just a second ago, he was still thinking of ways to deal with Caroline and break the two of them apart. After knowing that it was impossible to break them apart in the short term, Balor immediately changed his mind and thought of how to maximize his benefits. Thus, he thickened his skin and looked for the Anderson family.
Balor’s stiff face explained that as a father, he should appear as the guest of honor at the engagement banquet and then personally hand Caroline to Edwin.
Joline impatiently put down the coffee that she hadn’t had a sip of. The sound of the coffee cup hitting the table successfully interrupted Balor’s words.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Balor. May I take the liberty to ask you a question?” Joline leaned back in her chair. “What kind of existence is your daughter in your eyes?”
Balor knew that the most difficult part of the day had come. He opened his mouth, wanting to recite the draft he had prepared in his stomach. However, Joline did not give him a chance to explain at all. She immediately threw everything in front of him. “Is it the continuation of the bloodline, a commodity that can be exchanged for money, a puppet that you can play with at will, or a tool for you to vent your emotions?”
When Joline said this, Balor’s face paled. It was obvious that the Anderson family had seen everything he had done.
Joline stood up and wiped the creases on her dress. “Since Mr. Balor has already published the news and severed the father-daughter relationship with Caroline, I think you don’t want to have any more ties with Caroline.”
“Because of this, I didn’t send you an invitation to this engagement party in order not to cause you any trouble, Mr. Balor.” Joline looked directly at Balor.
Her eyes were tilled witn mockery, but tne words sne said were polite trom tne beginning to the end. However, it made Balor’s liver hurt, but he could not refute her.
“I think this situation is what you’ve always wanted to see, Mr. Balor.” Joline’s words were gentle, but they were all inserted into Balor’s lungs..
