Chapter 120: Repeating the Past
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
As far as Caroline knew, Anthea was just a commoner with an ordinary family background. She didn’t have any outstanding talent, nor did she have a strong background to support her. She really couldn’t understand why Gary liked such a person. Was it because she was beautiful?
Anthea didn’t want to be entangled with Caroline. Seeing that she was talking about boring topics, Anthea went straight to the point. “Mrs. Caroline, I have something on. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”
With that, Anthea was about to leave.
Seeing that this woman was ignoring her, Caroline was furious. She couldn’t help but reach out and grab Anthea’s arm. “Stop!”
She raised her voice a few times. Anthea frowned and looked at her unhappily.
Not far away, Audrey noticed Caroline’s movements and couldn’t help but frown.
Eric said, “Eh? Why is Auntie with Caroline?”
Audrey walked towards her mother without changing her expression.
Caroline realized that she had lost her composure, but when she looked up, she saw Audrey walking towards her. There were several people nearby watching them.
Caroline knew that something was amiss, but when she thought of Jerry, she stopped in her tracks and watched coldly as Audrey gradually approached.
“Mom, what’s wrong?” Audrey stepped forward with a look of concern. Anthea glanced at her daughter and shook her head with a smile. “Nothing.”
Caroline glanced at Anthea in disdain. She then looked at Audrey and said,
“Audrey, I want to ask you something today.”
Audrey naturally knew what she was referring to.
Audrey’s lips curled into a strange smile. “Madam, if you want to find your future daughter-in-law, it’s best to send more people to cities to look for her outside the capital. You shouldn’t focus your attention on me.”
Caroline had never known where Linda was, so of course she felt uneasy. If this b*tch suddenly came out of nowhere and added fuel to the fire by saying that the Lake family had persecuted her, Caroline guaranteed that the Lake family would definitely be affected.
However, the problem was that Linda was missing. At the end of the day, it was Audrey’s fault!
If it hadn’t been for the hotel incident, would Jerry have been photographed by someone with ulterior motives? Caroline had always suspected that Audrey and Linda had worked together to frame Jerry, and that Audrey would hide Linda after the matter was over.
Audrey’s goal was to destroy their Lake family!
Caroline looked at Audrey’s face and felt that she was an eyesore.
Audrey knew that Caroline had always hated her because of Jerry, but Audrey wasn’t afraid.
Jerry deserved that outcome. Audrey had specially been careful tonight. When she noticed that Jerry was indeed not present, she knew that Jerry was probably locked up in a corner of the house.
After all, the Hill Family’s banquet was so grand that many upper-class people were proud to get tickets to this banquet. Jerry was so vain, so how could he not attend such an occasion?
However, Audrey had yet to see Jerry, and Caroline’s current husband had gone to that corner to talk to someone because of business matters. Now that Caroline was alone, she couldn’t help but feel a little resentful.
However… Thinking of how Caroline had stopped her mother just now, Audrey was a little unhappy. She said to Caroline, “If you have anything to say, just tell me. My mother doesn’t understand your complicated thoughts, and I advise you not to have any ideas about my mother.”
How could Caroline tolerate being taught a lesson by a junior? She lowered her voice and gritted her teeth as she said to Audrey, ‘You’re just a stepdaughter. Do you really think you’re the daughter of the Lance family? Even if you’re living a comfortable life now, you won’t be able to escape the fate of being sent to a marriage alliance in the future.”
Anthea’s gaze sharpened.
Before she married Gary, Anthea had already made a pact with him. When Audrey reached adulthood, he absolutely couldn’t interfere with her marriage. She wanted Audrey to choose her future husband.
Hearing Caroline’s words, Anthea, who had always been gentle, suppressed her anger and said, “Is that so? This is just what you think, right? You have such a fate, so you want my daughter to make the same mistake as you?” Anthea’s words were like a knife stabbing into Caroline’s heart..
