Caroline heard his aggrieved voice and felt a little happy. “I still thought you’d forgotten.”
After all, Balor was an adult who had been in the business world for a long time. He quickly calmed down a little, and he said meaningfully, “It seems that I have failed as a father. I have not cared about you for too long, causing you to misunderstand me. It has also caused my impression of you to deviate.”
Caroline’s tone was a little sarcastic. “After all, everyone knows that you’re busy. You’re busy with your business and dealing with your lovers. In the remaining time, you still have to think about repaying someone’s kindness and taking care of the daughter of an old friend. Naturally, you can’t care about other things.”
Balor was silent for a while. “If others hear that you have such a sharp tongue, I’m afraid they will no longer believe the rumors that you are mute.”
In other words, she was pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger. Not only was Caroline not unhappy, but she was happy that such a misunderstanding was spread. This way, she no longer needed to hide her change.
“Then you should be happy that I didn’t embarrass the Lambert family.”
Balor’s response to this was to directly hang up the phone.
“Ha.” Caroline didn’t mind. She threw the phone aside and went to sleep. The original body was too weak, and she still had a lot of things to do in the future. She had to take good care of her body.
Meanwhile, Balor was not in a good mood like Caroline.
Caroline was 18 years old, which meant that she could get the 40% shares that belonged to her. 40% of the shares was much more than the 20% he had.
Although Balor’s last name was Lambert, he did not have the blood of the Lambert family. He had only been given the last name of Lambert after he married Helena, Caroline’s mother.
After Helena’s death, her father, Dylan, saw through Balor’s ambitions. Thus, before he passed away, he made a will and divided his 60% shares in the group into two. Balor, who was in charge of the group’s affairs, took 20%, and the remaining 40% was left to Caroline, who looked a lot like Helena. She could inherit it when she turned 18.
Balor had not expected that his daughter, who was originally stupid and incompetent, would grow up to be a wolf cub and want to snatch the meat in his mouth.
In his anger, the cup on the table was swept to the ground with a bang. “You’re just a little girl who still stinks of her mother’s milk. I’ll see how capable you are!” He pulled a long face and made a call.
Caroline, who did not know that Balor was up to no good, woke up after a good sleep. Unsurprisingly, she found that her phone, which she had left in the corner, was gone. It was self-evident who took it. Caroline snorted but didn’t take it seriously.
She went to the bathroom to wash up and slipped out of the hospital when the two nurses weren’t paying attention.
When she was standing on an unfamiliar street, Caroline realized that she was still wearing a hospital gown and had no money on her. After all, no one had thought of bringing her anything to change her clothes.
As the only heir of the Pritz family, this was the first time Caroline had no money. She was a little surprised. She stood at the traffic light and was thinking about what to do next when a black Maybach of the latest model suddenly stopped in front of her.
Caroline thought they were waiting for someone and was about to politely take two steps back. However, she suddenly noticed a pair of eyes looking at her from behind the window. The eyes were a little aggressive.
She narrowed her eyes and simply didn’t step back. She let the other party look at her.
A few seconds later, the car window rolled down. Caroline’s eyes fell on the man’s face, and her heart skipped a beat. The man was too handsome.
His facial features were as exquisite and as profound as the work of the world’s best carving master, especially his eyes, which were as deep as the ocean. There was a hint of black in the deep blue, as if they contained a deep valley at the bottom of the sea, which attracted people to dive in and explore.
“May I have the honor to send this beautiful lady off?” A low and melodious voice, like a cello, came from behind the window.
As soon as he finished speaking, the sharp-eyed Caroline noticed the surprise on the driver’s face.
Caroline’s intuition warned her that this person who had suddenly appeared was dangerous.
But who was she? She was the famous General Pritz!
Caroline had a reserved smile on her face and replied, “I’m honored.”
The driver’s surprised expression became even more obvious.
Caroline laughed in her heart and leaned into the car. “Please go to Rika Apartment.”
