When Joline saw the familiar license plate number, she immediately smiled and sighed. “I wanted to send her home, but someone didn’t give me the chance.”
Edwin, who was busy dealing with matters in the backseat, immediately looked up when the driver coughed. He saw the two most important women in his life standing at the entrance of the official residence with a smile.
A hint of warmth and affection flashed across his eyes, and then he put down the tablet in his hand. At this time, the driver had already gotten out of the car and walked to the door to open it.
Edwin buttoned his cufflinks and got out of the car, immediately attracting the attention of many people.
At this time, most of the people at the banquet had already dispersed, but there were still some people who had not left. They recognized Edwin at once.
A noblewoman beside her, who had a few words with Joline, teased, “This is the first time we’ve seen Young Master Anderson on this occasion. Looks like tonight’s auction was worth it.”
Her voice was neither loud nor soft. At the very least, Joline and Caroline, who was standing not far away from her, heard it.
At first glance, these words seemed to be fine, but when one carefully examined them, there was something wrong.
On the surface, her words sounded as if she was focusing on the second sentence. She was very happy to see Edwin, but if it was in the eyes of someone with a heart, it might be focusing on the first sentence.
To say that she had never seen Edwin on this occasion, from another perspective, wasn’t it to say that Edwin had never taken the initiative to pick up Joline before?
However, he suddenly appeared today. It was most likely not for Joline, but for Caroline, who was standing beside her.
This comparison was clear at a glance. It was hard to say whether she was just sighing or trying to sow discord between Joline and Caroline.
After all, in this situation, if it was a meaner mother-in-law, she would probably be angry when she heard this.
But who was Joline? She couldn’t wait for Edwin and Caroline to be more loving. It would be best if they could get married immediately, and then they could start a family as soon as possible, making the Anderson family’s old house more and more lively. That way, she wouldn’t have to worry about Edwin’s future life.
Therefore, when she heard this, Joline did not feel offended. Instead, she said happily, “In that case, I should have benefited from you, Caroline. It seems that I thought I had to bring you out more often.”
The smile on the lady’s face froze when she heard what Joline said. Facing the half-smile in Joline’s eyes, she looked away guiltily. Then, she found an excuse and left in a hurry.
When Joline saw her reaction, she knew that this person was indeed up to no good. She snorted coldly and planned to stay away from this lady and the people who were on good terms with her in the future.
Edwin was already used to everyone’s surprised gazes, so he walked forward with a natural expression. Then, he held a person in each hand and walked to the parking lot.
“How was it? Did everything go smoothly tonight?” His words were directed at Joline, but his eyes fell on Caroline.
Speaking of this, the anger in Joline’s heart was ignited again.
First of all, she was a little dissatisfied with the Hall couple. In this tightly guarded official residence, a thief could actually sneak in. No matter what, the Hall family had a certain degree of responsibility for this matter.
Of course, he was now the highest governor, so he couldn’t lower his head to them over such a small matter. But who was Joline? How could an old lady with sharp eyes not see the faint wariness that Mr. Hall had toward Caroline?
If Mr. Hall had a conscience, he would have thanked Caroline for saving his daughter.
Joline could understand his wariness, but that was another matter altogether.
If Mr. Hall couldn’t even figure out such a thing, then Joline didn’t think much of him as the highest governor.
However, since they were still in the mansion, she couldn’t complain in public, so she suppressed her words. However, when she spoke, she revealed some resentment. “It’s a mess tonight. That thief sneaked in and wanted to attack Caroline…”
When Edwin heard that, he immediately looked at Caroline from head to toe nervously. “Are you okay?”
Caroline replied with a comforting smile, “Don’t worry, it’s just some petty tricks. They can’t do anything to me.”
Caroline was very confident in her words. After all, with her ability, if the other party was five or six people with weapons surrounding her, Caroline might find it a little difficult. However, if the other party was only one person, she could deal with it in an instant..
