"Caroline, are you up?" Sophia knocked on the door.

A slender, white arm stretched out from under the quilt, Caroline rubbed her sleepy eyes, and said to the door with a lazy voice.

"Well, I'll go down right away."

There was no movement outside the door, Caroline pulled away the warm blanket that wanted her to lie down again, and stood barefoot on the floor covered with soft cashmere carpet.

She curled up and curled up her thumb, which was slightly itchy from the touch of cashmere.

The morning sun shines on her face through the light-colored curtains. She opens the curtains and lies on the window looking at the vibrant garden.

Nice, she thought.

"Caroline?" Mr. Adlon, who played the role of a gardener, helped his hat brim, and raised his eyes to his brilliant daughter who was smiling at him on the window sill.

Her blond hair was shining in the sun, her beautiful blue eyes were slightly curved, and her pink lips were raised, revealing a line of white teeth.

Seeing such a lively daughter, and thinking of those friends who lost their families in the shipwreck, Tam Edron couldn't help feeling deeply grateful.

And precisely because of this, Tam couldn't forget the Fix family who had forced his daughter to travel across the ocean. His subordinates unconsciously used a little force, and the fragile flower stem was broken.

"Caroline, come down quickly." Lilith, who was hiding in the flowers behind and watering the flowers, said to her daughter, watching Caroline's head retracted, she patted her husband's hand.

"Honey, I know what you're thinking." Lilith looked at him with sad and gentle eyes: "But this will only destroy Caroline's good reputation that was originally concealed. For the sake of your daughter, please bear with it." "The daughter is always the weakness of the parents, and she is afraid that the crazy woman from the Fix family will tear everything apart regardless.

Tam nodded silently, and a smile appeared on Lilith's face: "Let's go, it's time to kiss my baby girl good morning after a long absence."

After Caroline finished washing, she opened the closet on the left side of the room. It was full of clothes, and it seemed that Mrs. Adlon had bought them for her in the past.

If there is something to lose, there must be something to gain, Caroline thought as she lifted her skirt.

"Look, whose daughter is so lovely." Lilith smiled and narrowed her eyes, walked forward, and kissed Caroline on both sides: "Good morning, my baby."

"Good morning, Caroline." As always, the style was silent and concise, but Caroline knew in her heart that her father's love for her was no less than that of her mother.

"Good morning, Mom and Dad." Caroline followed them to the dining table, where the tableware had already been placed by the servants. Caroline stroked the hem of her skirt. She pulled the stool away.

Only then did she realize that this was not England, where no one helped her pull the stool. She turned her head and wanted to say thank you to the servant who pulled the stool for her. When she saw the person behind her, the words of thanks froze in her mouth.

"How did you come?"

Carl raised his eyebrows at her, smiled mysteriously, and greeted the Adrian couple who were looking at him smiling.

"Good morning, Mr. Adlon, Mrs. Adlon." He smiled politely, and he made people feel good at a glance.

"Good morning, Karl." Lilith also said to him, and Mr. Edron nodded to him.

Carl sat down beside Caroline, and the young man who followed him sat on the other side of Caroline.

"Good morning, brother." She bit her lips and said hello to this rather stern-looking brother.

"Yeah." Michael nodded to his sister, and he asked with a steady expression, "Are you okay?"

"Very good." Caroline also answered him with a tense face, although she didn't know why, but as soon as Caroline touched her elder brother, she was as scared as a student meeting the dean. It was the same before and now.

"New York has changed a lot. If you go out, remember to ask Sophia and Ashleigh to follow you." Michael spread the napkin on his legs and said to his always frizzy sister.

So Karl saw Caroline, who was arrogant like a kitten in front of him, obediently agreed.

It seems that the task of pleasing my brother-in-law is imminent, Karl cursed in his heart.

"However, mom, k...why is Mr. Hockley here?" She asked her mother suspiciously, trying to shake off the man who was holding her hand under the table.

Caroline was afraid of being noticed by others, so she didn't dare to use too much force. Seeing that he still didn't let go, she moved her eyeballs, and it was over if she was discovered!She motioned for Carl to let go of his hand.

It was even better to find out, Carl curled his lips and looked at Caroline innocently, even though he said so, he still let go of his hand.

Caroline breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's right, Mr. Hockley saved you. We plan to invite him to your party, okay, Caroline?"

"Very... good." Under Carl's smiling gaze, Caroline spit out these two words.

Fuck, she just saw her brother look at her!Has it been discovered!

She glanced at Carl with some complaints.

Sooner or later it will be made public, what are you afraid of.Carl felt aggrieved, and the eyes of the two of them were exchanged in the air. Caroline was not ready to make everything public in front of her parents. If she just got off the boat, she would tell them that she had had a private relationship with a man. If she is destined for life, then she probably will be hehe.

She silently withdrew her gaze, and quietly finished her first breakfast after arriving in the United States.

"How's the situation over there in California?" Mr. Edron unfolded the newspaper in his hand and asked his son who was sitting on the sidelines dealing with business.

Michael wrote and memorized something in his notebook. He took off his gold-rimmed glasses and said to his father: "It's not bad, except that old Bentley still refuses to hand over the land in his hand, everything is fine. there is none left."

Mr. Edron nodded thoughtfully.

"Forgive me for asking, is it the Bentley from the Rex family in New Zealand?" Carl said in a timely manner, and he found a way to please his workaholic brother-in-law.

Michael nodded dispensably, and didn't expect the heir to the steel magnate to help them. After all, there has never been friendship in business.

Karl suppressed the joy in his heart, and smiled slightly: "Maybe, I can help, my father and him still have a little friendship." Although he doesn't like the old man in his family, Karl has never been soft when he can use his resources .

"Oh?" Michael sat up straight, and only then did he start to feel a little strange in his heart.
