103 An Annoying Person

Joseph knew that his son wasn’t very smart, so he explained everything clearly to him. “First, you have to find out the reason why they insist on marrying the daughter of the down-and-out Lambert family and their true attitude toward this woman. Then, you have to determine if Ellen’s operation has failed. We can only decide what to do after we know the situation.”

Robert was used to being lazy and didn’t want to work. However, ever since his precious daughter Winnie heard about Edwin’s engagement, she had been making a fuss at home and wanted to kill that person from the Lambert family. She even wanted to rush to the Anderson family and ask them why they would rather choose the notorious Caroline over her!

Of course, Joseph wouldn’t allow Winnie to do that. However, he was also dissatisfied with Edwin’s choice. In his opinion, even if Edwin didn’t choose Winnie, he should at least choose someone with a better family background.

Therefore, when Robert was troubled by his daughter’s trouble and came to him for help, Joseph agreed to help after hesitating for a moment. He wanted to see if he could think of a way to ruin the marriage between Edward and Caroline.

Joseph saw it clearly. When Caroline’s scandal was spreading like wildfire, Edwin and Joline didn’t seem to be affected. Instead, they supported Caroline and continued to hold the engagement party. This meant that these small things wouldn’t change easily unless something happened to Caroline and she couldn’t attend the engagement party.

Hence, Joseph decided to go all out. He tried to find someone to do something to Caroline. However, Edwin’s men were protecting Caroline very well, so their men couldn’t get close to her. They couldn’t get in touch with Caroline, so they couldn’t do anything to her.

With no other choice, Joseph activated the mole he had planted in the Anderson family and sent the well-trained Ellen in. He asked her to find an opportunity to create an accident and make Caroline disappear completely.

As long as it was an accident that happened in the Anderson family, even if something happened to Caroline, it would not attract Edwin’s attention.

According to his plan, the best time to make a move was today.

However, it was already afternoon, and judging from Joline’s tone, Caroline was obviously fine. Joseph wasn’t sure how far the situation had progressed, so he could only rely on Robert to lead the way.

Robert was given the order to go to Anderson’s house in the nick of time. However, as soon as he entered the living room, he saw a tall and beautiful woman coming down the stairs in simple home clothes.

Robert’s eyes lit up when he saw her, and his tone unconsciously became a little flirtatious. “Whose little beauty are you? Why are you here?”

Caroline rested in her room for almost two hours. She was tired from sitting, so she wanted to go for a walk to relax. She didn’t expect to meet a middle-aged man who made people uncomfortable, especially his eyes that looked at people. It felt like they were filled with evil water.

Just then, Harriman came in from the side door. Caroline waved her hand. “Butler Harriman, what’s wrong with this gentleman? Is he a guest?”

Harriman came out from the side door and happened to hear Robert’s words. He looked down on the Third Young Master, so after hearing Caroline’s words, he said loudly, “Young Madam, this is the Young Master’s Third Uncle. He said that he’s here to help with the preparations for the engagement party.

“Oh…” Caroline dragged out her voice. “So it’s Third Uncle. I’m sorry.”

When Robert heard their conversation, he knew that he had done something stupid. He coughed uncomfortably and shifted his gaze away from Caroline.

He didn’t expect Edwin looked so dull and boring, but the woman he liked was so lively, so he didn’t react in time.

Robert tried his best not to look in Caroline’s direction. He only looked at Harriman and lifted his chin slightly. “They’re not even engaged or married yet, and you’re already calling her Young Madam. Isn’t this a little too fast?”

“That’s what the Young Master and the Old Madam decided,” Harriman replied with a smile. “We can only call her Young Madam.”

Robert’s expression froze, and his tone was a little sour and inexplicable. “It seems like Edwin is indeed sincere toward her.”
