After Her Engagement Annulled, the Weak Rich Daughter Becomes a Big Shot!

52 I Want To Break Off the Engagement

They could not guess the reason, but one thing was for sure. Caroline and Austin’s engagement would probably break up. It was only a matter of time.

They still didn’t know that Caroline had already donated the money. They thought that the Campbell family would probably still coax Caroline for the time being on account of this huge sum of money.

However, there were only a few people who were smart enough to see through the situation. When most people heard about Caroline’s huge spending, their first reaction was that she was indeed an idiot. She was so bold and reckless. The Lambert family would be completely destroyed in her hands. It was no wonder that Aubrey was so angry.

Kelly, who only wanted to set a trap for Caroline and ruin her reputation, did not know that after these gossiping customers heard about Caroline’s incident, not only did they decide to stay away from Caroline, but they also decided to distance themselves from her.

Kelly, who only wanted to take all the benefits in her hands, never realized the reason why a family could last for a long time. It was because everyone in the family knew that they were all bound together for good or bad.

Just then, the hosts of the banquet, Austin, who was supporting Old Lady Campbell, as well as the Campbell couple, appeared. This marked the official start of the banquet.

After Austin entered the banquet hall, he immediately found Kelly in the crowd.

The two of them wished they could stick together all the time, but they had no choice but to separate.

Now that they had reunited after a short separation, the two of them looked at each other, and their eyes were almost strained.

When Mrs. Campbell saw her son’s worthless appearance, a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes. That was her displeasure toward Kelly. She did not know what this little vixen had done to make Austin so infatuated that he could not have anyone but her.

“Cough, cough!” She coughed to remind him, as she was afraid that the guest would notice something was wrong. Only then did Austin look away reluctantly. He then followed his father onto the stage and announced the start of the banquet.

Old Lady Campbell sat at the head of the table and greeted those close to her. After a few small talk, she suddenly asked, “Where’s that poor little girl Caroline? Why don’t I see her today?”

As soon as she said that, the surroundings fell silent, and even Kelly’s heart clenched. Although Old Lady Campbell was almost 80 years old and didn’t really manage the family’s affairs, she still held many of the Campbell family’s properties and shares in her hands. Therefore, her words carried a lot of weight in the family.

Austin walked over and knelt down in front of her. He held her hand that was on her knee and looked at her. “Grandmother, I have something to tell you.”

Old Lady Campbell was stunned. “Is it about Caroline?”

Austin: “Yes. I would like to use this opportunity to announce that I’m canceling my engagement with Caroline.”

A hint of disappointment flashed in the eyes of Old Lady Campbell. She was disappointed in her grandson, who everyone thought highly of. She sighed and said, “What’s the reason?”

“I don’t think Caroline is suitable for the position of the young mistress of the Campbell family.” Austin looked at the disapproving look on Old Lady Campbell’s face and explained, “The things she did in the past could barely be said to be young and insensible, but now her actions are getting more and more excessive, even to the point that Mr. Lambert is in the hospital.”

Beside him, Mrs. Campbell quickly chimed in, “This morning, Mr. Lambert announced that he has severed all ties with Caroline. I know that Caroline is very pitiful for losing her mother at such a young age, but what Austin needs is a good wife who can assist him, not a coward.” She paused for a moment. In order not to anger the old lady, she chose a lighter adjective. “Troublesome.”

The old lady’s gaze moved from Austin’s face to Mrs. Campbell’s face, and then to Mr. Campbell’s face. She asked him, “What do you think of this?”

Mr. Campbell was also resentful about Caroline selling her shares, so he nodded and said, “She is indeed not suitable for our family now.” This was especially so after he found out that Caroline had donated all her money and turned herself into a poor person. Furthermore, Austin doesn’t like her. Forcing the two of them to be together will not end well.

However, back then, Austin was the one who personally agreed to this marriage and promised old Mr. Lambert that he would always treat Caroline well. However, looking at Austin’s current state, how could he still remember these promises?

Old Lady Campbell shook her head. “Since you’ve decided to do this, don’t regret it.”
