As soon as Austin said that, Caroline felt a dull pain in her heart. She knew that this was a reaction left behind by the original body, and it had affected her. However, she was not the original, and she did not have such feelings for Austin.

Caroline suppressed her discomfort and put on her usual smile. She retorted, “I don’t think there’s any reason to continue being with a man who can’t see his fiancée being bullied.”

However, Austin thought that she was throwing a tantrum because she found out about him and Kelly. However, Caroline was so direct, and he felt offended. “If that’s what you think, I’ll be even happier. I’m afraid that you’ll regret it and beg me.”

“I don’t know if they’ll regret it in the future, but if they don’t apologize in person within three days, then we’ll see them in court.” If it wasn’t for her education, Caroline would have rolled her eyes at him.

Seeing that Austin had been humiliated, Kelly finally said, “Sister, Dad will not allow you to do this.”

Kelly knew that Caroline respected and feared her father, so she used Balor to pressure her.

Caroline didn’t know that her plan was wrong. She said bluntly, “Father places the family’s reputation and interests above all else. Although you are the foster daughter of the Lambert family, you must remember that the Lambert family name is behind your name. Your identity, your words, and your actions represent the interests of the Lambert family.”

Kelly’s eyes widened as she looked at Caroline, who had said those words. Such a powerful and confident attitude was what Kelly dreamed of having. It was the confidence of being a true daughter of the Lambert family.

It was a pity that the will of the heavens was unfair. Such luck did not fall on her, but on the stupid person in front of her.

As such, Kelly had no choice but to rack her brains and work hard to obtain everything that she wanted. Kelly was smart, after all. Although she did not know why Caroline had suddenly changed her attitude and become so tough, wasn’t her strength to overcome the strong with gentleness?

Hence, Kelly was stunned for a moment and chose not to fight Caroline head-on. She turned her gun around and aimed it at the other two. “Big Brother, Austin, don’t force my sister anymore. She’s angry with me. They were all worried about me, that’s why they did that. So, I should be the one to apologize.”

“How could it be your fault?” Aubrey quickly stopped her.

“You were unconscious at the time,” Austin said. “You can’t predict anything that happened.”

“No, if I hadn’t lost my balance, I wouldn’t have brought this disaster to Sister.” Kelly’s eyes were glistening with tears, but her face was filled with determination. “Sister, although they went a little overboard this time, it was all because of me. Don’t worry, even if I have to kneel and beg them, I’ll make them come and apologize to you. Please don’t call the police.”

After Kelly finished speaking, she pushed her wheelchair out heroically. Aubrey quickly caught up with her, his heart aching.

Austin looked at Caroline angrily and said, “I pitied you before, so I was hesitating whether I should call off the engagement. But after today, I won’t hesitate anymore. You don’t deserve my sympathy at all. I will immediately call off the engagement when I get back.”

Caroline’s attitude was to wave him away and not see him off.

The two caretakers heard what happened in the ward. Although they still looked down on Caroline in their hearts, they stopped looking down on her when they saw how strong she was. They didn’t dare to say anything in front of her.

The phone on the pillow suddenly rang. Caroline opened it and saw that it was a call from Balor. The moment she opened it, Balor’s roar could be heard.

“What did you do to your sister again?! Is it glorious to be in the hospital? Revenge? Who do you want to take revenge on! Who do you think you are to represent the Lambert family!”

Caroline held the phone a little further away until Balor was done yelling. She then put it back to her ear and said coldly, “Mr. Balor, you seem to have forgotten that your daughter is already eighteen years old.”

“You also know that you’re 18 years old, and you’re already an adult, yet you still…” Balor’s voice froze.

“Yes, 18 years old. I’m an adult.” Caroline chuckled. “Then, tell me. Can I represent the Lambert family? Balor…” She deliberately paused, and her tone became more serious. “Mr. Lambert.”

After a long time, Balor’s gritted voice came from the other end. “Caroline, you can.”
