NovelEnglish45 The Love of Violets
Mrs. Campbell saw through Kelly’s intentions at a glance, but she was happy to see it happen. It was best to blow up the matter of the engagement as much as possible. After all, Austin was the one who dumped her, not him.
If he announced it in public, he could also send a signal to the outside world that the position of the future lady of the Campbell family would be open.
Therefore, Mrs. Campbell immediately agreed. “Indeed, it’s better to bring up such an important matter in a formal setting. Otherwise, if word gets out, people might think that we, the Campbell family, love the rich while we’re poor, and that we’re taking advantage of the Lambert family’s decline to kick them out.”
Austin nodded nonchalantly. “Then I’ll send Caroline an invitation.”
Mrs. Campbell didn’t want to step into this old apartment, nor did she want to face Kelly. “Then I’ll wait for you in the car. Come back as soon as possible.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAustin pushed open the metal door and stepped into the yard. He saw a few bodyguards helping the wailing Balor out of the apartment. He quickly dodged to the side, while Balor was only focused on wailing and did not notice him at all.
Seeing Balor’s miserable state, Austin instantly felt his footsteps become heavier. His heart was beating like a drum. What if Caroline really went crazy and attacked him?
As he was hesitating, he looked up and saw Caroline standing at the door of the apartment, holding a thick wooden stick in her hand, looking at him with a faint smile.
Austin felt as if he had been doused in cold water. He subconsciously said, “It’s my birthday in two days. I’m giving you an invitation today.” His attitude was gentlemanly and polite, which had never been seen before.
Caroline placed the wooden stick in her hand on the ground. “Thank you for your concern. It seems like this is going to be a very grand birthday party. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely be there on time.”
It was obvious that this birthday party was a trap, but since they had already set up the stage and were waiting for her to appear, how could she disappoint them?
Austin placed the invitation on the wooden table in the yard, but he did not dare to take another step in Caroline’s direction.
Caroline sneered and scolded him, “Coward.”
As the two of them were quite far away, Austin did not hear her scolding. He only dared to look at Caroline after he finally left the courtyard.
Compared to Kelly, who was in a sorry state, Caroline was as delicate as a cat. Even her hair was neatly tucked behind her ear, revealing a brown ear stud on her earlobe. Under the sun, one could vaguely see the light shining inside. Coupled with her well-cut checkered outfit that outlined the smooth curves, she looked elegant and beautiful.
Austin could not imagine that such a delicate woman would hit people like a lunatic. However, the wooden stick in her hand, Kelly’s frightened face, and the terrible state of Balor and his bodyguards were all displayed before his eyes. He had no choice but to believe that this was the truth.
No matter what, he would finally be able to get rid of the burden of being called ‘Caroline’ in a few days.
His long-term wish was about to be fulfilled, and Austin thought that he would feel very relaxed. However, to his surprise, not only did he not feel relaxed, but he also felt a sense of regret, as if he had personally broken something extremely precious.
Austin shook his head. He attributed this strange emotion to the fact that the things he had encountered today were too absurd and magical, so his emotions were also a little abnormal.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBefore he left, he turned back to take another look, only to realize that the door to the apartment was closed. He could no longer see Caroline.
Just two or three minutes after the annoying flies left, a few more luxury cars drove into the old street.
“Sir, are you sure?” Oleg looked at Edwin worriedly.
At this moment, Edwin was holding a sapphire ring in his hand. It was the ring that Caroline handed to him and asked him to auction off. He was a little lost in thought and didn’t say a word until the car stopped in front of Caroline’s apartment.
He put the blue ring back into the box, put it back into the silk bag, and then stuffed it into the inner pocket of his suit.
“I’ll say it one last time, Oleg. I need an obedient assistant, not someone who always questions my decisions.”
“I’m sorry, Sir.” Oleg’s heart skipped a beat. It seemed that Sir had made his decision. Although he didn’t agree with it, he didn’t dare to stop Edwin.
Edwin picked up the violet orchids beside him, opened the door, and got out.
The meaning of the violet flower was, “the fetters of love, the unchanging beauty.”
