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

Joline nagged, “As the host, don’t we know better than them whether she’s suitable or not? Why would we need these irrelevant people to point fingers?”

Joseph laughed heartily. “There will always be people who want to watch the fun.” Before Joline could agree, he suddenly changed the topic. “But speaking of which, the person Edwin chose is not very desirable, so it’s inevitable that some people will have their own opinions.”

Joline’s heart skipped a beat. “Big Brother, so you don’t like Caroline either? You don’t support my decision with Edwin?”

“Why wouldn’t I support you and Edwin’s decision?” Joseph asked. “After all, no matter how much Edwin likes her, he’s not just choosing his wife. More importantly, he’s also choosing the future mistress of the Anderson family, so it’s normal to have more requirements and rules.”

Joline moved the microphone a little further away and took a deep breath. When she spoke again, her breathing had returned to normal. “Then, according to what you said, which family do you think is suitable for a young lady?”

Joseph didn’t respond to her. Instead, he laughed and said, “Don’t you know better than me which ladies from prestigious families are suitable in the circle?” He emphasized the word ‘prestigious.’

In order to find a suitable partner for Edwin, Joline had already selected all the young ladies of the right age in the circle, so she should know the most suitable ones.

“That’s why I said that life is unpredictable. Back then, I picked so many people, but he didn’t pick a single one. Instead, Caroline, who didn’t get into the list, got into Edwin’s eyes. This is probably what people call fate.” Joline sighed.

As the grandfather of one of the rejected candidates, Joseph was silent for a moment. “From your tone, you seem to be very satisfied with Miss Caroline. It seems like she’s different from what the rumors say.”

Joline smiled. “Of course it’s different. Caroline is a very good noble lady. I don’t know what other people think, but I personally think she is very suitable to be the future lady of the Anderson family.”

Seeing that Joline had put it this way, Joseph roughly understood what she meant, so he didn’t continue the topic. He asked, “The engagement party is so intense. Can you handle it? Why don’t you get Robert to help you?”

Robert was his third son, and he had a daughter who was only three years younger than Edwin. She had always admired him since she was young.

Joline thought for a moment. “If Robert can help, then that would be the best. I’m just afraid that he’ll dislike the trivialities and troubles and won’t be willing to take over.”

Joseph hurriedly waved his hand. “This kid is always right in front of me and doesn’t do anything. He annoys me. If you take him there, even if you just order him to do odd jobs, I’ll feel better.”

“Alright, I’ll be waiting for Robert’s help.”

After both of them hung up, Robert came forward. “Father, what does Aunt mean?”

Joseph’s forthright expression changed. He looked at the phone in his hand with a dark expression. “You still haven’t contacted that Ellen?”

Robert rubbed his hands anxiously. “I’ve already contacted her two or three times today, but there’s still no reply.”

Joseph paced around in the study. “Listen to your aunt’s arrangements. Today should be the day for them to try on the gowns. By right, Caroline should have gone to Anderson’s house.”

“So, there are only two possibilities. The first is that Ellen didn’t do anything to Caroline, or she didn’t have the time to do it. The second possibility is that her operation had failed and Ellen has been captured. Joline’s call just now was probably just a test.”

However, they couldn’t contact Ellen at the moment, so they didn’t know what was going on. Joseph instructed Robert, “I’ll leave this to you. After you go to Anderson’s house, you must investigate a few things.”
