However, because it was a last-minute idea, they were going to a new restaurant. Normally, Oleg would throw money at the restaurant to see if there was any space.

Unexpectedly, the manager of this store rejected his suggestion to increase the price and insisted that they would treat all customers equally. Therefore, no matter how much money they spent, they would not let them cut in line.

Oleg’s phone wasn’t very soundproof, so the manager’s reply lingered in the quiet car.

Oleg and the chauffeur became nervous because they had already seen Edwin’s face darken in the rearview mirror.

It was obvious that Edwin was very unhappy about not being able to book a table, especially since Caroline wanted to go to this place, but he rejected him in front of her.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the car had dropped to a freezing point, Caroline, who was at the side, suddenly laughed out loud as if she did not notice it.

The crisp laughter dispersed the tense atmosphere, and the coldness on Edwin’s face melted.

Forget it, seeing that this matter could make Caroline smile, he would not pursue Oleg’s incompetence.

“I’m sorry for making a fool of myself,” he said helplessly.

Caroline laughed. “Serves you right. You’re used to being unreasonable. It’s not bad to let you kick an iron plate occasionally.”

When Edwin heard her words, he was obviously stunned.

In their circle, they had already formed a fixed mindset. The more production resources they had, the more priority they had.

This was an unwritten rule that had long been integrated into their bones and blood, becoming a part of their daily lives.

Therefore, when Oleg realized that they couldn’t get a seat, he would not hesitate to spend money to clear the way. He didn’t realize that it was inappropriate to do so before Caroline gave him her point of view.

He met Caroline’s teasing gaze and was a little surprised. “I’m sorry, I took it for granted.”

Caroline shook her head. “Once a person has more things, the convenience that comes with it will definitely be more. This is inevitable.”

Whether she was Luo Ling Pritz or Caroline Lambert, she was a person who had a clear interest in this unwritten rule, and she enjoyed many benefits.

It would be very shameless of her to completely overthrow this point.

Caroline was different from others in that she did not take this privilege for granted and trample on the rights of others.

Edwin thought of the harsh methods he used to deal with people and was silent for a moment. “Then when you face your enemies, will you be tolerant?” “How is that possible?” Caroline laughed.

She was a female general who had climbed up from countless battlefields. How could she be lenient to the enemy?

Mercy to the enemy was cruelty to oneself, comrades, and the people.

Edwin suddenly understood. Indeed, Caroline was not a delicate flower that grew up in a greenhouse like other young ladies, but a cactus that had been tempered thousands of times and stood proudly with thorns all over her body. So he didn’t have to worry too much about Caroline being afraid of him and alienating him.

He squeezed Caroline’s palm. “Sorry, I was thinking about something else.”

Oleg, who was sitting in the front seat, had been sitting on pins and needles ever since he failed to reserve a table. He was afraid that he would be questioned for not doing his job well afterward. He only heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Edwin being amused by Caroline. He did not expect the two of them to suddenly change the topic and talk about such a heavy topic.

“Then do I still need to make reservations?” he interrupted in time.

Edwin’s expression darkened again. Caroline held his hand. “Where did you find this restaurant?”

Edwin pursed his lips. “I saw it online.”

Originally, he rarely had the time to go online and pay attention to some boring things. However, after Joline learned how to surf the internet without a teacher, she pulled Caroline along and the two of them interacted with each other on the internet.

In order not to miss their updates, Edwin had to spend more time surfing the internet. Then, one time, he suddenly came across a topic related to dating.

Although Edwin wasn’t young anymore, he was still inexperienced when it came to relationships. When he saw this topic and thought about his relationship with Caroline, he immediately clicked on it with a thirst for knowledge. Then, he received a pile of knowledge that he didn’t know was useful or not..
