Chapter 186 - Chapter 186: The Charity BanquetChapter 186: The Charity Banquet
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Caroline’s life of recuperating was ended by an invitation. The person who invited her was Mrs. Hall.
As the wife of the highest governor, this was her first dinner party as the host since she took office with her husband. It was also her first public appearance at a social event as the wife of the highest governor.
Of course, as the wife of the highest governor, Mrs. Hall had to set an example. She wouldn’t hold a banquet for no reason, so the theme of the banquet was a charity banquet.
On the invitation that Mrs. Hall sent to Caroline, the name on the top was Caroline Lambert. This meant that she was inviting Caroline herself and not the fiancée of the Anderson family.
Just then, Joline called. “I took a look at the invitation and saw that your name wasn’t on it, so I knew that they must have sent you another invitation. At least, that lady did a decent job on this matter.”
Joline’s tone was filled with pride and joy. Originally, she only accepted Caroline because of Edwin. However, after meeting Caroline in person, she became more and more satisfied with her. She even admired her.
As an iron lady who once supported the Anderson family with great difficulty, Joline had always admired capable girls. And Caroline was obviously not as simple as ‘capable’.
After seeing how powerful and calm Caroline was the other day, Joline felt that Caroline’s ability, courage, and temperament were all excellent. She was the only woman like this she had seen in her life, so Caroline was definitely qualified to be the lady of the Anderson family. Joline even felt that with
Caroline’s ability, it was a little unfair to her to be confined to the backyard.
However, these were things that Edwin and Caroline discussed in private, so Joline only muttered to Harriman in private and didn’t say anything in front of them.
“As for the charity banquet, as a junior, you don’t have to feel too burdened with us old people in front. You just need to pick something that isn’t too eye-catching but won’t be too degrading. You can just take it to complete the task.” Joline was afraid that Caroline would be worried about what to donate at the charity banquet, so she gave her a suggestion.
“Okay, thank you for your suggestion, Joline.” Caroline expressed her gratitude. Even though Joline didn’t give any advice, Caroline could face these things calmly.
After all, although she had received strict training since she was young and was active on the training ground, it did not mean that she did not need to receive the so-called ‘prestigious education’. Although her mother, Mrs. Pritz, lived in seclusion, she would occasionally attend such charity banquets that could help others and make a name for herself. Therefore, Caroline knew the ins and outs of it.
As for Joline, she was worried but didn’t offer to help Caroline. Firstly, she was considering Caroline’s pride. Secondly, Joline believed that her fiancé, Edwin, would do as he saw fit. She decided to leave this opportunity for Edwin to perform.
Because of this, Joline even called Edwin to mention this. “There’s a big auction next week. Caroline can accompany me. Previously, there were many beautiful accessories, but because there was only me, an old lady, and you two rascals at home, I didn’t manage to bid for them. This time, with Caroline accompanying me, I can buy as much as I want and dress her up beautifully.”
After listening, Edwin was a little speechless. “Did you forget that our family is in charge of the auction?”
If Joline were to bid crazily, people might think that she was a fake.
More importantly, if he really wanted to give Caroline something, he could have placed it in front of her in advance and let her choose. Why did she have to sit there for a few hours and compete with others?
Thus, Edwin really brought a catalog of auction items to Caroline.
Caroline laughed when she saw it. “Although I’m grateful for your kindness, I’m not so poor that I can’t even take out a single charity item.”
Seeing that Caroline was ready, Edwin was about to put the catalog back on the table, but Caroline reached out and pressed on the catalog..
