母女的奴隶

Caroline, who was called cunning by Edwin, would never admit to such an evaluation. After all, the person in front of her was unfathomable. If she didn’t maintain her vigilance, she could fall into a trap at any time.

Looking at how guarded she was, Edwin could only helplessly spread his hands. “Then at the very least, as someone who has helped you several times, it’s not too much to ask you to add my contact information, right?”

Caroline felt a little innocent. “I don’t think you’ve ever given me your contact.”

So, even if she wanted to, she couldn’t.

Edwin was a little surprised. “You’ve never opened it before?”

“Open what?” Caroline was confused. She thought for a while before she vaguely understood. She took out the white brocade bag from her bag and found a card inside. There was only a private number on it, and it was stated to be Edwin Anderson’s.

This was something that many people wanted but couldn’t get, to be able to directly contact Edwin’s private number.

But to Caroline, she was very confused. “So, why didn’t you tell me directly? Why did you have to use such a roundabout way?”

Edwin was speechless.

Who knew what he was thinking back then? Edwin decided to forget about this stupid incident.

Since Edwin handed her his business card, Caroline opened her phone and added his number.

Edwin looked at his number. It was the first and only number in her empty contact list. He was finally satisfied.

He looked at the white brocade bag that Caroline placed on the table and asked, “How are you going to deal with this?”

“Take it and exchange it for money,” Caroline said casually.

Then she heard Edwin say, “If you need help, I can help you find a good shop. Do you want to pawn or auction?”

Under Caroline’s confused gaze, he explained, “I happen to have both a pawnshop and an auction house. If you want to get money as soon as possible, you can choose the pawnshop, but the price will be lower. If you go through the auction process, it will take longer, but the price will be higher.”

Caroline clenched her fist and tapped the table twice. “I want to choose the third option.”

“If you trust me, you can leave it to me,” said Edwin.

“Of course I trust you,” Caroline replied matter-of-factly.

The Anderson family was so rich. If she were to auction off that private number, there would probably be many people willing to pay a price higher than for the ring. Caroline was not worried that he would cheat her of this little money.

To go to the underground auction, Caroline still had to find a way to get an invitation card with her current status. Since Edwin was willing to do it for her, it saved her a lot of trouble.

Edwin handed the white brocade bag to Oleg. Before he handed it to his subordinates, he opened it as usual to take a picture of it. However, when he saw the ring inside, he found it very familiar.

If he didn’t remember wrongly, this ring should be an item that his auction house had dealt with before.

That’s right, the underground auction house that Caroline was talking about was also a product of the Anderson family.

He remembered that he had been there to deliver something to the auction the other day, so he stayed for a while and witnessed the whole process of the ring being auctioned.

Although he didn’t know the exact identity of the person who had bid for the ring, he knew that the client had a VIP card of the auction house, so it definitely couldn’t be Miss Lambert.

After thinking for a while, he dismissed his men and put the ring back into the pouch. He had to report this to Edwin first and see what he thought before making any further plans.

Caroline probably didn’t expect that despite her precautions, she would unfortunately run into the owner of the underground auction house.

After enjoying a good meal in the private club, Caroline decided not to pay attention to the news on the internet.

For a big company like the Taylor Corporation, a piece of negative news could indeed affect it, but it was also extremely limited. Therefore, there was no point in her continuing to pay attention to it.

She politely refused Edwin’s request to send her home. After leaving the private club, she waved for a taxi and prepared to go home.

After Balor realized that he could not contact Caroline, he actually sent her a private message on her social account.

The first part of the message was a long string of meaningless curses. The main point was the last sentence, [If you still want the protection of the Lambert family, get the h*ll back home!]

Caroline had reason to believe that Balor must have thought of a way to play dirty. Otherwise, he would not have said the word ‘protection’.
