Chapter 60 - 60 Balor's Decision
60 Balor’s Decision
While the Anderson family was busy preparing for the engagement, Kelly rushed to the hospital.
“Dad, did you know? My sister is actually together with Edwin, and they’re even going to hold an engagement ceremony!”
Balor, who had been lying on the bed half-dead, immediately jumped up when he heard this news. His eyes shone as he stared at her. “Really? You’re not lying to me?”
Kelly’s tone was filled with jealousy. “It’s true. Edwin knelt down on one knee and proposed to my sister in front of all the guests at the banquet today.”
“Hahaha! I didn’t expect that rebellious girl to be so capable that she can even seduce the Anderson family’s leader. With this relationship, our Lambert company will definitely rise to a higher level. I’d like to see how those old fogeys in the company will dare to challenge me in the future!” Balor felt that all his pain had disappeared in an instant, and he was about to reach the peak of his life.
However, Kelly’s words poured cold water on him. “But Dad, you just cut off your father-daughter relationship with Sister this morning, and it was even published in the newspaper. I’m afraid Sister will hate us to death. I’m afraid that after she gets together with Edwin, she’ll turn around and take revenge on us.”
The smile on Balor’s face froze, and he suddenly regretted the decision he had made that morning. He felt a little uneasy. “I don’t think so. After all, I’m her father, and I raised her up.”
If the Anderson family really wanted to target their family, they could only passively take the beating without being able to resist at all.
“But Sister has already sold the company’s shares and even the house. She must hate us and want to cut off all ties with us.”
Balor thought about it and agreed. For Caroline to be so heartless, she probably did not have much affection for him, her father.
“Dad, what do you think we should do? Now that the Lambert family can no longer withstand the storm, especially against a large family like the Anderson family, do we really have no choice but to accept our fate?”
Upon hearing this, Balor’s expression turned ruthless. “I don’t acknowledge my fate.”
If Balor had accepted his fate, he would still be a poor middle-aged man and not the respected Mr. Balor.
“If that’s the case, I’ll just shatter that b*tch Caroline’s dream of being rich. How can a big family like the Anderson family easily accept a woman with such a bad record like Caroline? I think that young man, Edwin, must have been mesmerized by Caroline’s looks. That’s why he would do such a foolish thing.”
Balor immediately had an idea. “If you want to say that young people are insensible, it’s better for the older generation to step in. Like Old Madam Anderson. She was the most strict when she was young. I’m sure she doesn’t know Caroline’s true colors, which is why she allowed Edwin to mess around. If she knew, she wouldn’t have agreed so easily.”
They had to strike while the iron was hot, before the marriage contract spread widely. They had to make a move to stop it. The two of them plotted for a while and then went out to find someone to make arrangements. The next day, the internet suddenly exposed the black material of Caroline stealing things from her classmates many times in school.
In the past few days, from the school bullying incident that had reversed many times to Balor announcing that he had cut off his father-daughter relationship, Caroline’s popularity on the internet had not been low. Thus, once these pieces of news were released, they immediately gained quite a lot of attention on the internet.
The informant mentioned the time and place. He even included Caroline’s self-reflection letter and the school’s punishment letter. It looked very real. Hence, many people believed this matter immediately after reading it. They couldn’t believe that such shameful and bad things would happen in a private and famous university like Alexandria, and they happened so many times.
Of course, the internet trolls that Balor and Kelly had spent money to hire were stirring up trouble. However, they had indeed formed a trend of boycotting Caroline. This trend had even blown into the small courtyard.
Some of the students in the school had already joined forces to petition Principal Brown to expel Caroline and cancel her school registration. At this moment, the principal, Mr. Brown, was also having a headache. He could see the petition of the students. If it was in the past, considering Caroline’s family background, he would have agreed to the petition of the students to push Caroline out to take the blame.
But who was Caroline now? She was the future mistress of the Anderson family, and who was the biggest shareholder of the school? It was the Anderson family.
