After Her Engagement Annulled, the Weak Rich Daughter Becomes a Big Shot! - Chapter 63

63 Joline Protects Her

After George left in a hurry, Kelly and the man who had just spoken looked at each other and smiled. Naturally, Kelly would not believe that some ridiculous rumor like black magic could defeat Caroline. She only wanted to create more trouble for Caroline and cause chaos in the Anderson family.

She didn’t believe that Old Madam Anderson would still accept Caroline when she made a mess of the Anderson family before she even married into the family.

On the other side, Old Madam Anderson, who was also Joline, was having a tea party with her cousin Zoey and two other noble ladies.

“Why did you set the time in such a hurry?” Zoey asked with concern.

!!
Old Madam Anderson couldn’t say that she was in a hurry, so she could only push all the blame onto Edwin. Even if they had questions, they wouldn’t dare to ask her grandson in person. After all, Edwin’s cold face was quite lethal, and most people couldn’t stand it.

“This was decided by Edwin. I also think it’s a little too soon, but you guys know that I can’t control Edwin’s matters, so he can do it whenever he wants.”

“In my opinion, Old Madam, you are too indulgent. I heard that this was his own private decision. Until now, he has not brought him to you to let you take a look. This is too disrespectful to you,” another noble lady interjected.

Joline glanced at the person who spoke and wiped her mouth elegantly with her handkerchief. “What era are we in? We old bones can just relax and drink tea and talk every day. Why do we have to be an annoying old witch and interfere in the children’s affairs? As the saying goes, children and grandchildren have their own fortune. As long as he chooses a suitable partner, then everyone will be happy.” The way she spoke made it sound like she wasn’t the one who had been looking for a partner for Edwin.

“That’s true, but young people will sometimes make impulsive decisions because of some emotions. If they chose an unsuitable partner, it is fine if the couple quarrels among themselves, but if it affected the family’s interests, then the loss would outweigh the gain. After all, our Edwin is not an ordinary second generation. As the head of the Anderson family, he should be more careful when choosing his wife.” Zoey also tried to persuade her.

Joline glanced at her stupid cousin and knew that she had been coaxed into being a target again. “Edwin chose his own wife, so he should be responsible for his wife. If he can’t even step up to settle his wife’s troubles, then he’s incompetent and can’t protect his own people. He can only blame himself for this and no one else.”

Her words showed that Joline already knew what happened on the internet and was very dissatisfied with the speed at which Edwin handled the situation. Her gaze sharpened as she scanned the three of them. “Since Edwin has chosen Caroline, Caroline is a member of the Anderson family. You should know the rules of the Anderson family very well.”

The Anderson family’s rule was that they were extremely protective of their own. Joline’s words made her stand clear. She didn’t want anyone to badmouth Caroline in front of her anymore.

Joline’s eyes lingered on the lady for two more seconds, until the lady looked away guiltily.

After the tea party, Joline directly told Butler Harriman, “From now on, no matter if it’s a big banquet or a small banquet, there’s no need to send invitations to the Miller family.”

The woman who had just stirred up trouble was from the Miller family, so Harriman respectfully acknowledged.

Joline frowned. “He hasn’t dealt with the news on the internet? What’s Edwin doing? Why is he so slow?”

“Young Master Edwin locked himself in his workroom,” Harriman replied with a smile. “He said he wanted to design an engagement ring for the two of them to wear daily after the engagement.”

Joline pouted. “He only knows how to do all these fancy things and doesn’t even do the proper things. I wanted to give him the chance to show off his boyfriend skills in front of Caroline, but I didn’t expect him to be so ignorant. It seems that I have to take action.”

Hence, with Joline’s order, all the negative news about Caroline on the internet was swept away.

Joline was very satisfied with this. “As expected, I have to do it.”

Just as she was feeling smug, George suddenly rushed in. “Grandma, it’s not good. Please save Big Brother!”
