母女的奴隶

This was also one of the reasons why Caroline did not forcefully pull her hand back.

Joline walked up and patted Mrs. Hall’s tense shoulder. “Let’s let the doctor check the children first.’

Her gaze fell on Caroline’s bare feet, which were covered with tiny scars. It was obvious that the environment of the tea forest was not suitable for people who did not wear shoes.

Noticing Joline’s gaze, Caroline shook her head. “These are just small wounds. Don’t worry.”

Joline sighed. “If Edwin sees you like this, he’ll be heartbroken.” Furthermore, she was the one who brought Caroline out, but she put Caroline in danger. This was her fault.

“No one expected this to happen, so you don’t need to blame yourself.” Caroline used a wet towel to wipe off the dirt on her feet. Then, she took a pair of soft-soled shoes from the maid and put them on.

At this time, Mrs. Hall had already learned from her daughter that the target of the bad guys was Julie. She was scared and felt very apologetic. “This is all my fault. I obviously didn’t think about it carefully.”

Joline could tell that Mrs. Hall hadn’t fully digested the change in her identity, and today’s incident was a good warning to her.

The Anderson family’s bodyguards had already interrogated the masked man.

Both of his brothers were dead, and the masked man knew that he couldn’t escape this. He was hired, and he had no moral feelings for his employer. So, in order to die a quick death, he confessed everything as soon as the bodyguard asked him.

According to the masked man, they had found out from their employer that Mrs. Ford was going to invite Mrs. Hall to a tea party, so they had set up an ambush in the tea garden in advance with the purpose of kidnapping Mrs. Hall or her child.

Mrs. Ford immediately denied it. “That’s impossible. All the people in the tea garden today are familiar faces.”

Clearly, as the wife of the head of the Ford family, Madam Ford wasn’t someone who didn’t have a bit of common sense. She knew that Mrs. Hall’s identity was different, so she had cleaned the tea garden in advance and only left some people she trusted to serve here. She also had people guard the manor’s periphery to prevent strangers from approaching.

“The tea garden has to be tidied up from the beginning to the end in order to hold this tea party,” the masked man said. “Because of the heavy workload, you have hired a lot of temporary workers.”

The masked man and the other two took this opportunity to sneak in. When their temporary work ended, they pretended to take the money and leave, but when the manager wasn’t paying attention, they sneaked back and spent three days hiding in the tea forest.

The bodyguard followed his words and found the place where the three of them were hiding. There was a refurbished pit with a lot of domestic garbage that the three of them had made over the past few days.

Mrs. Ford didn’t expect the hidden danger to be here. She looked at Mrs. Hall in shame. “My dear, I’m very sorry. I didn’t expect this to happen. This is my negligence.”

Mrs. Hall had been good friends with her for many years. Although she was still afraid of what had happened today, she wouldn’t blame Mrs. Ford for such a small matter. Instead, she consoled Mrs. Ford, “You can’t be on guard against a thief for a thousand days. Since theyve made up their mind to take action, even if we keep them outside the tea garden today, they might still find an opportunity to get to the children and me tomorrow.”

Mrs. Hall patted Julie’s head and turned to look at Caroline. “Or rather, it’s Julie’s and my luck. Although we were unlucky enough to meet these demons, we were also very lucky to meet a heroine who descended from the sky and saved her from the disaster on the mountain.’

Julie, who was in Caroline’s arms, secretly looked up at Caroline. She revealed her white teeth and smiled at Caroline.

Caroline noticed her gaze. She looked down and met her eyes. Julie’s little face turned red, and she buried her head into Mrs. Hall’s arms.

Mrs. Hall looked at her and laughed. “So this little devil can be shy. It seems that Caroline’s impressive performance just now completely convinced her and made her give her heart to you.”

To be honest, when she recalled Caroline’s appearance when she came out of the tea forest with a gun, she was indeed very handsome. Not to mention Julie, even she was almost captured by her..
