Chapter 418 The Culprit
Killian nodded in approval. "Both Paige's appearance and character are perfect."
Caroline glanced at Wilfred. It was over. Originally, she thought that if Martin or Killian did not like Paige, she could take the opportunity to recommend Vallorie... Now it seemed that Caroline didn't have the chance.
"Dad, we have not seen you praise anyone these years..." Wilfred had not expected that his father would compliment a young woman.
"That child is really outstanding. She is beautiful and well-behaved. She has the ability but does not show off. She is low-key, brilliant, filial, and kind.
In short, Killian was satisfied with everything about Paige. At the thought of her, Killian could not help smiling.
Wilfred glanced at Caroline. Wilfred did not expect Caroline to be so pleased with the girl who had just reunited with her family.
"We also met a very outstanding girl on the road this time. Caroline and I really like her... It's a pity that she has a boyfriend," Wilfred said regretfully. "How can she be as good as Paige?"
As soon as Killian finished speaking, Wilfred's mobile phone vibrated. "It's Martin calling."
After he picked up the phone, Wilfred announced, "Martin said he would book a private room tomorrow night. He wants to bring that girl to meet us. Wilfred and Caroline wondered if it was this idea of their cold son.
"Caroline, quickly pinch me." Wilfred obviously could not believe it. It was not until Caroline pinched his arm that he covered it in pain and said, "Ah... Be gentle."
"If I had not made you feel pain, you would feel like you were dreaming..." Caroline did not expect that her son would like that girl and take the initiative to bring her over for them to meet.
Caroline thought, to be able to win the favor of my son and his grandparents, that girl is either outstanding or not simple.
The next afternoon.
Caroline was trying on her clothes when Wilfred knocked on the door of the closet and came in. He zipped up her clothes from behind.
"Honey, we found out that it was really your best friend who poisoned you..."
When Wilfred said this, he looked at Caroline's reaction. Seeing that she was not sad at all, he said, "I brought her here. She is on the first floor of the basement..."
"Got it." Caroline was wearing a beautiful fishtail dress, looking slim and dignified. Before she went to the first floor of the basement, she did not forget to tell the two elders, "Dad, ***, I have something to deal with. If you hear a strange noise later, don't panic."
Killian knew that the person who had poisoned Caroline had been taken to the first floor of the basement. He nodded. "Don't worry. We are old, so we won't hear it..."
Caroline came to the first floor of the basement.
The light coming through the six skylights made the hall look brighter and more imposing. The four bodyguards stood together. Ethel stood in front of them, a little panicky. Caroline was slender, and her pace was elegant. She walked step by step toward Ethel.
"Hello, Mrs Stowe." The four bodyguards greeted Caroline in unison.
Ethel saw that Caroline was wearing a beautiful fishtail dress. Caroline's waist was thin, and her face was noble. All these years,
Caroline seemed to have always been so delicate and graceful.
Before mamage. Caroline was very beautiful Her life after marriage gave her a mature charm. Her every move was fascinating.
"Ethel has been my best Inend for twenty years I asked you to invite her here. Why did you tie her up? Quickly untie her," Caroline smiled and looked at the bodyguards
"Yes, Mrs. Stowe. The bodyguards untied the rope around Ethel's hands.
Ethel rubbed her wrists and hurried forward. "Caroline, since you wanted to see me, why didn't you just call me over? You made such a fuss The outsiders will think that I offended you..." "Then what did you do?" Caroline smiled elegantly.
Ethel was stunned and a little uneasy. "Caroline, I don't understand what you are talking about..."
"You came from far away, but I didn't ask anyone to serve you a cup of tea... I think you've drunk all kinds of good tea. Today, Lasked someone to use C30 to make you a glass of fruit wine..." Hearing this, Ethel became even more apprehensive.
She thought, that's impossible...
It's been a few days. How did Caroline suddenly find out about me and even know that I put C30 in her fruit wine?
"I heard that it can make fruit wine more fragrant and mellow," Caroline smiled very beautifully.
She glanced at the servant, who immediately carried a tray and delivered the fruit wine to Ethel.
Ethel was quite frightened, "Caroline, did you misunderstand something? This fruit wine..."
"It seems that our twenty years of friendship means something to you. Otherwise, you wouldn't have spent 800 thousand dollars buying this thing and putting it in my fruit wine... Don't worry, as your best friend I won't take advantage of you. I understand..."
This time, no matter how ***Ethel was, she realized that she was in danger.
Caroline must have gotten enough evidence, so she sent some people to capture Ethel. There was no point in arguing now.
"Caroline... Listen to me... It's all my fault for being silly. I heard from my son that Martin refused to give that piece of land in Paris to him... We had been frends for so many years. I wondered why Martin had given it to an outsider instead of his friend."
Ethel's eyes suddenly turned red, "I always thought that we were the closest friends, and I didn't expect that after my son went to Martin several times, Martin would still refuse him. I went to you, but you said that Martin had grown up and that you couldn't control
him, so I was angry with you..."
Ethel had promised in front of her in-laws that she would definitely be able to take that piece of land!
However, Martin sold it to someone else, causing Ethel to lose face in front of her in-laws. Ethel was so angry that she wanted to use this method to take revenge on the Stowe family.....
Martin had always been vigilant, and there were too many experts around him, so Ethel could only vent her anger on the innocent
Caroline...
That night, at Ethel's son's wedding banquet, although the style of Caroline's dress was extremely simple, she upstaged Ethel with her stunning face and unique temperament.
This made Ethel feel even more uncomfortable.
"My servants gave me the idea, so I..." Ethel wanted to go forward to hold Caroline and cry, but the four bodyguards blocked her way.
"Caroline, I was wrong... Ethel could only wipe her tears.
"Of course, you were wrong" Caroline's eyes were calm and bright. "There is a problem with that piece of land. Martin took-it-to- deceive his competitor. In other words, it was for your own good" Caroline did not find out about this matter until today.
However, at that time, Martin did not tell his family or the Mclean family. He was afraid that the news would spread out and that his competitor would not fall for it.
"If you really believe in our friendship for the past twenty years, then you should know that Martin is as loyal as me."
